music brings joy, brings life. even to an empty mind. my taste for music have seen all extremes over the years. from the mushy songs of the boy bands – to the explicit raps of eminem – to the melody of rahman – to the foot tapping breakbeat music – to the soothing ghazals of jagjit singh n hindustani of ghulam ali. thats a lot of music 
yesterday we were at dilis brothers wedding reception at trichur. it was a lot of fun, something like a hostel re-union. nothing much has changed and i am very happy about it 
on the way to trichur in train with the maharashtra teams, we bought a li’l gift for our kid at Gurgaon. to the dangerous KID

trains remind me to blog. dont know why. maybe because i like to travel so much. i’ve not blogged for more than a week and here i am. i set foot into a train and the next thing i think of is to blog previous weeks have been hectic, at work and off it. life goes on as usual entertained by small drives on weekends and pulling legs of people at the office. in this time i’ve started to love mangalore. i love this place now. i gotta start exploring more. places like jog falls, sita camp and others. wanna go trekking. everything!
my dream of getting a bullet will come true soon. i’ve been bullet hunting for more than a month now, hopefully i’ll own one in december then a DSLR camera, and off i go. thats about everything i want from life now. get all that and take off. nice to hear and tough to do i know but i will, some day.
my current project is almost over and i’m gonna be in support and testing for the next 3 months. only thing that i hope is not to have a lot of work to find time for all the crazy things my crazy head is planning. i might leave mangalore soon, but before that i want to do crazy things. make new friends. talking about that, i’ve started doing crazy things already!! i sang in the group song for independence week in office. eat that – world!! ‘desh mere, desh mere, meri jaan hai tuuu’…. i went on stage to sing for the first time and by god, what a song it was!! we got second prize thanks to a nightingale whose voice was soooo sweet. so much so, that our voices were not noticed by the judges and we got second prize
i am on my way to dileep’s brother’s marriage reception in trichur. hope to see everyone there. but i gotta come back to mangalore on sunday too. will post photos of the reception till then, leaving u with snaps of the scenic beauty of mangalore, uriyadi held on sri krishna jayanthi and a cultural fest at our office

at times i wonder, is this blog dead.. is my life not moving on.. it is moving on, but with little or nothing to jot down.. life has come to a standstill, at a place where all i can do is think about what lies ahead..
someone told me few days back, that the anticipation of what is to come is the thing that keeps you going.. the anticipation of something better, something surprising.. i’ve been thinking of doing a lot of things lately, but in the end nothing happens.. i’m returning to mangalore from home, in a train now..
the only thing i wanna say now is that this blog is not dead.. there will be lots more travels, portraits and ramblings here.. keep all the comments coming till the next post, i’ll continue to be a being stranded, there on the cosmic panorama in the pic is shanthakumar – one of my new friends in mangalore..
My name is Abdul Hameed. I'm 23 and I live in Calicut, Kerala and finished my education in Trivandrum, i am now working in a Software Firm at Mangalore.
