life through pink colour glasses: A thing of beauty...

A thing of beauty...

...is hard to describe.

Sometimes a picture does not speak a thousand words. Sometimes even words aren’t all they’re built up to be.

For instance, how do I describe the beauty I’m surrounded by and the feelings I’m feeling? I could take a picture of the Gulmohur tree in bloom outside my window, resplendently red and shamelessly showing off its beauty to anyone who passes by. But a picture won’t capture the delightful rustle of its leaves each time a breeze passes by. I could take a picture of the cloudy grey sky, mocking any artist who wishes to paint it. But will that capture the little shiver from cold and happiness that goes through me as I stand under it?

Maybe that’s the difference between a writer and an artist. As I struggle to cross the great big line between the two, I think, to hell with it. Why am I sitting inside and attempting to describe a beautiful day to others, when I can just get out and enjoy it?

Ciao!

Oh, just remembered something where a picture will do just fine.

Got it this weekend. What do you think?

hyde :he he! what can u expect from someone who voluntarily calls herself 'girl in pink'? for about 5 seconds i considered scorpions and the like, and then i was like, who am i kidding?!?

grey : this pradeep guy is good. he uses new unopened needles and upon finishing gives it to you to destroy or preserve or whatever.
he also plays your choice of music and refreshments include strong vodka based cocktails.

Will NEVER get one on myself *runs as fast as possible in the oposite direction*

Btw, your suggestion of a tattoo in the neck....*scratches head,taps chin* is cool. Maybe I'll ponder o'er it.
