engineering

this is the first 'engineering' entry in my blog despite I'm and engineer by profession. this picture depicts a part of the overhead 'catenary' for electrified train system. the scheme is essentially supplies electricity to the train set. the picture was taken lat week after a very disappointed, 'waste and stupid' interview session. the location of the picture was in a 100-year old former main train station in the capital. the electrical system is new, less than 20 years old.

integrity

at the time I took this picture, I was lack of problem. everything was good that I felt I was blessed. but it was not. actually it was now with all the problems in the world are on my shoulder, I started to understand humanity. which is 'the hell with integrity'.

the shortest interview ever

on 10 to 15 minutes. that was the time taken to interview a project manager by an organisation with about USD 30 billion worth of property. there were 5 candidates for two posts and I was one of them. but only me was the damned. may be they already have the people to be appointed. so why spend more time. get the damned people in just to fulfill the quota and do the report to the management. the hell with integrity!

freedom

I hope that freedom depicts in this picture will persist.

colonial

this picture was taken few weeks ago in a small local museum not far from my home. it was actually a home of a local figure head who was tried in his very own house. he was expelled from his country about two centuries ago. occasionally I bring my family here to relearn what had happened to our fathers. I teach them how not to repeat the same mistake and stupidness. the other reason is that the entry to this museum is free.

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I'm not afraid to die
Stand and fight
say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel

faces

those are faces of my kids, the two most younger. I brought the younger one to a park one morning and told about it to her sister that night. as a result she refused to go to school the next day. so the next day two kids were playing happily ever after at the park, hence the two faces.

they're happy and vibrant. I'm not going to replace that little smile with anything.

Little darling
The smiles returning to the faces
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been here

changes

this is about change,

I heard some kids telling me 
How they've lost all the faith in the way 
They've been talking world peace 
And the war's in the streets 

The lines on their faces so deep 
A revolution, or reach out 
And touch the day 
We're overdue child 

Change 
Now it's time for change 
Nothing stays the same 
No it's time for change 

I feel the future in the hands 
Of our youth will be safe 
No more lies 
Old, tired fools tell our future 
With tarot cards, and lie of crime
