There and Back Again Part V: The Beauty

As mentioned earlier,i have confessed my love for Indian women.Some of them,anyway.Not exactly those made-to-look-good type you see in Bollywood movies or whatever,but those that are really under-rated,the ones you see on the street.

During one of our shopping trips along the streets of Agra after our training i came across a little girl,about 15 or 16 years old.She was in a flowery top and jeans.She wasnt trying to jump out of the crowd,telling the world how hot she was or whatever.She was just one in the crowd,minding her own business through the busy market.Unlike the people we see on the streets in Singapore really.I mean,sometimes you wonder who they are trying to show,or what they are trying to prove.The simplicity of that little girl was just...wow.I mean,Jonathan was disapproval of my liking to Indian ladies,but im sure he wouldve changed his mind if he saw her himself.

But anyway,aside from the people i had the pleasure of taking tonnes of photographs of the scenary in India while training.It was one of those rare times when they actually allow cameras to be brought along while training.How can i let this chance pass by?So here they are,some of the pictures i took while on the field training my ass off,i actually had the time to snap a few shots of things.Enjoy:


"Sunrise,looks morning in your eyes..."


Crystal blue sky.


Silhouettes.


Last light.


Just me and the rest of the world.


Breakout.


Breakthrough.


Break free.


White fluffy clouds.


Wish you were here.

I'm writing you to catch you up on places ive been
And you held this letter probably got excited
But there's nothing else inside it...

Today,skies are painted colours of the cowboy cliche
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
Next to mountains anyway...

You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
It brought me back to life
You'd be with me next time i go outside
No more 3x5s...

Today i finally overcame
Tried to put the whole world inside a picture frame
Maybe i'd tell you all about it when i'm
In the mood to lose my way in words...
