Central Perk

A lil' frustrated these days... No French (fingers crossed), left my previous job rather unscrupulously and I'v decided not to take the new one I went for the interview to on friday. It's interesting but I don't want to do the same to this job. It will be too hectic as I have some important exams coming in march and april. So I rather sit here or read the newspapers. I have loads work but really cold and I'm being rather lazy. I need to submit some photographs to another photo competition and Im still to choose the 4 photo graphs I want to submit. The theme is "Happiness" and my view is not to submit photographs of people smiling or just having "fun". It should something more than people having fun. Happiness is much more than fun, it's more closer to the feeling contentment and goes much deeper. I'll post the 4 photos I finalize finally in the next post. So therefore my lame arse roams from here to there in the room at time watch some music vids I like... Las Ketchup, Céline Dion, Tarkan oh and Careless Whisper and Alizé in Amsterdam... and so on... it's not the best entertainment but still better than most crappy Indian news channels promising the fastest coverage. Actually I love collecting music videos, especially the retro ones- Banarama, Wham, Starship Troopers etc etc...

Central Perk

This is where we went last night. Central Park was one of New Delhi's landmark even before the a Métro station was built underneath. For 2 years now it was under construction and was recently restored with an amphitheatre and lush green freshly manicured lawns. The day ended with a nice dosa at Banana Leaf, one of Delhi's most famous place for south Indian cuisine located in Connought Place. Central Park these days has some photos being displayed on its foot paths. Some of them are below, from the 80's and the 60's when most of its parking lot used to empty and the only visible cars were the Ambassadors and Fiats. There are no neon signs and hardly any traffic in the inner circle. Some of them are posted below. Enjoi.
