Kuala Lumpur & Genting – 2011

With leaves to clear and my birthday on 19th November, i thought it was a good time to get away from the maddening stress of work and related stuff. Took off for a 4 day trip with biwiji to Kuala Lumpur & Genting in Malaysia.

Diwali Wishes – 2011

Liju Philip — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 04:55:09 +0000

Wishing all of you and your loved ones a very Happy & Prosperous Diwali

Thought the mid week holiday doesn’t give much reason to cheer. Still, look at the bright side of the holiday.

As usual, say no to the noise and smoke generated by the crackers. Spend some quality time with your family and friends. Isn’t that what holidays are all about?

Ya, this blog has more or less taken a backseat. Not that i have lost interest. Just that there is so much to do and so little time. Only 2 more months to end the year. Great things to come in a few months time. Cant wait for 2012.

Jurong Bird Park – Singapore

Liju Philip — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 06:25:53 +0000

On the first day of the Chinese New Year holidays, visited the world famous Jurong Bird Park here in Singapore. Its my second visit. I love the lush rainforest like feel inside the whole sanctuary. Most of the birds have a bigger place to fly around and not many of the birds are in cages. That makes you feel very much in contact with nature.

It rained in the morning and there was a nice breeze. Couple with the smell of the wet mud and the greens, the place reminds me of Kerala. Some pictures of the bird park

Its Christmastime

Liju Philip — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 09:11:11 +0000

Its the final week leading into my faviourite times of the year. Its Christmas time. I love the feeling. Wish i was back home to the cold, wintery temperatures of Hyderabad. Not to forget the warm cakes, appams, chicken stew and other eatables, the christmas trees, the star in front of the house, the singing of carols….

Put up the Christmas tree at home quite early this time.

Happy Holidays
