I physically, emotionally & psychologically hate them!

I really really hate creeps like this... they bring out the worst in me. Poor Tonio gets a earful when I see these loathsome creatures at home. I rant and rave and cry and scream and generally curse the people who cross my path. And if they give me some lecture bout how these disgusting reptiles keep the house clean by eating other insects, I lose it... big time. I mean if you like them so much, please feel free to cultivate them in the sanctity of your own bedroom. Times like this, I wonder how Jeff Corwin would have gotten along with me... I always tell Tonio that if I hadn't married him I would have married Jeff Corwin, and knowing Jeff Corwin (not that I really know him) he wouldn't like to see any creature (no matter how despicably ugly) treated with contempt and intense hatred.
Here they are having some sort of a sick family conference in the kitchen. When will they become extinct?

Egad. What are they? They certainly are, er, startling! Especially those glowing eyes...

EEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkk!!

Those look really gross! I don't like them either but I don't curse that much... I save my curses for flying insects!

Saj, Tonio, whatever.

Beth, those are ordinary house lizards and they freak me out. Their eyes don't really glow though, its the camera's effect... nevertheless they are definitely evil.

Anju, yeah I know your fear of flying insects... but you can easily swat them to death. These creeps aren't easy to kill, Tonio's dad catches them in his hand and takes them outside... I am in awe of him.

I don't know shil, big dogs may be scary... but puppies are cute. Anyway, I do know your lasting fear for canine creatures and I will strive to slowly ease the fear away. I would want this lizard hatred to go too in me...
Yeah, Tonio's dad catches huge ones (I mean really huge) in his hand, its actually cool.

EEEEEEWWWW! Those are the UGLIEST things I have seen today!!!

Oh my gawd! I hate these ugly things too!! It's like I have a phobia or something....thank god there is at least one more person who reacts like me to these totally unnecessary creatures....

I don't even know what is their actual purpose on this earth, other than to bring about stomach-churning nausea in me...YUCK and YUCKKKKK!

Okay...i gotta go throw up now!!

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

I hope the world doesn't end in 2012, I have a whole lot of books to read...

I heard bout Flipkart.com from Anju and that site has changed my life. All the books that I have been searching for since centuries, are now sitting prettily on my book shelf. Landmark is a thing of the past now... in fact Landmark is not what it used to be anymore, they do not seem to have stock on most of the good books. So I am deliriously thankful to the creators of flipkart, I seriously love you guys... continue with your fabulous work. Talking of books, here are a few people who have enriched my life with their recommendations of the written word... My brother Manoj for buying the ' The Partner ' by John Grisham . Now I hadn't heard of Grisham before so the book was just lying there at home. One day I got bored and picked it up, that was the start of my love affair with Grisham and legal thrillers in general. This was the first John Grisham book I read and it was in a word mindblowing. I couldn't set the book down, my heart was racing away with Patrick Laniga...

Interesting churches from around the world...

Came across these spectacular churches while trying to search for simple and rustic ideas for my (very soon to be constructed) church back home. Thorn Crown Chapel This is the Thorn Crown Chapel located in Eureka Springs, Arkansas... looks pretty neat huh. Church of Hallgrímur The Hallgrímskirkja (a Lutheran church) is located in Iceland, and it is designed to resemble basalt lava flows that are characteristic of Iceland. The church is also used as an observation tower. Chapelle of Saint Michel The Chapelle of Saint Michel perched atop a needle of a rock is located in Auvergne, France. 268 stone steps wind their way up to this quaint little ancient church. Doesn't it look absolutely dreamy... Borgund Stave Church This is the Borgund Stave Church located in Lærdal, Norway... t'was built somewhere in the late 12th century, definitely awesome. Las Lajas Cathedral The Las Lajas Cathedral (Sanctuary of our Lady) located in Columbia, South America is certainly awe inspiri...
