Thought I'd start a new photo series to share some of my photographs from time to time. Oz -- apart from the reference to you-know-where -- is the name by which I call my own little private world (which is now quite contradictory I guess).This photo is from my last trip 'down under' in June. My colleagues and I used to frequent an internet kiosk near our hotel. It was run by a local, but there was this guy called Rohit who was in charge most of the time. Nice chap. A bear of a man, with a pony-tail to boot. Told me once that his grandparents were from Rajasthan, but that his parents had migrated to Fiji, and now here he was in Australia!! A man of many parts - no pun intended!
Anyway, the story behind the photo is -- as is obvious -- we went shopping on a lazy Saturday and saw this 'notice' on the door of the kiosk. In some ways, it symbolises everything about Perth and its people. A relaxed attitude to life and the Ayn-Randish I-don't-live-for-anybody-else 'air' that I so loved.
Wish I could stick a message like that on my PC during my off-days!!

ReplyDeleteu know i found the people her edisplay the same attitude...very helpful knowing u r new in the country. They would 8 hours during the weekdays but even a hurricane wont bring them to work on a weekend. They have mood swing but all in all, they display a streak of randism in them, though at different levels. Btw, nice picture..

ReplyDelete@ srini: Ah, finally! Can't agree more with you on the 8-hour thingie. There's life after work...and yes, very true about the different levels of randism.
Pardon me for not commenting yet; am writing a professional critique. It will be worth the wait - just bear with me.
i already like the guy who stuck this note on his shop door!
ReplyDeletejust an afterthought... i'm justified at not visiting ur blog all these days. it's not like u came to mine, even though u've been blogging again for nearly a month now. Hmmmmph.
