Bachelor No 1 - Valentino Lexington

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Bachelor No 1, Mr Valentino Lexington. He is 7 years old. His zodiac sign is Cancer and is born in the chinese lunar calender year of Dragon. He hails from Ol' Chlaeng Road and lives with his room mate. She is single too but this posting is not about her.. SIGH !!



On a hot day Bachelor No 1 loves nothing more than a frolic in the beach with his friends. As you can see, he possess a good sense of humor and balance.



Bachelor No 1 is a leader .. This can be clearly seen from his stature here, with the back straight and ears perked to attention, his physique just begs to be praised. Such is the elegance and poise possessed by him.



Here he can be seen looking back to check if his last night's excreted dinner is floating or has it sunk it.. thats Bachelor No 1.. always caring for the environment and nature



Bachelor No 1 loves the water, especially when his room mate is with him. And he absolutely loves children and plans to have a truckload some day. You can see his paternal love exhibited by the way he is clutching on to the "child" so she does not get washed away in the river. He is also a very immaculate man and his weekly shower is a must,a feat he achieves by enjoying his favourite shampoo followed by a conditioner for his fur, hence the shiny coat. He tops it all with apple deodorant, a gift from his room mate for Valentines Day.


among his other interests are relaxing at a resort,watching the sunset and while sniffing the air for some excitement for laters!


and at the end of the day he just wants to relax and unwind with his loved one. Now look at that face.. such calmness reflected on his handsome face. So come on, all you hot 4 legged hot chicks out there.. come on dont be shy and apply and take this hot persona home for some tender loving care !

Part 1 - Madras to Thiruchenthur

These are pictures from my backpack trip in india.
Be prepared to share some of my very shocking culinary
experiences and not forgetting some uncovering of truths!
But all said and done, India is a place of many wonders.. good and bad and ugly..
There is beauty in poverty.. When your heart, soul and mind is ready to accept things as they are without judging, thats when you see the true nature of things presented to you...Follow me virtually on this journey of friendship and lots more.. CHeers !

Madras... Home away from home... where signs like these greets you.. makes you wonder if there exist an indian toilet or jamaican toilet !


a bus almost topples over from the weight of its passengers

where its as though time stood still from the 60's with barber shops like these


garlands as tall as me


tender coconuts stacked as high as me

sweets


and friends.. from L-R Karthik, Luxman, Bhavani and yours truly


crow briyani...?? errmm.. yes .. no.. yes.. no.. it tasted really good you know !


outside the cottage we stayed.. i met this wild peacock and fed him some banana chips.. and he started following me ..


to the cottage


and to the beach


Thiruchenthur temple...


From the temple, my friend and i took a walk to a nearby fishing village. As we were busy taking pictures we notices this old man observing us. So i took this picture of him. As we were leaving, he asked my friend if we managed to take his picture and asked for my address. We gave him the address and asked him why he wanted it. His reply shocked us both.. "I will let you know for my funeral. Im happy you took my picture"... We walked back quietly.. pondering his words.. here is a complete stranger who wants to let us know that he is no more.. just cos he felt we were nice enough to take his picture... Lest be known that you can find beauty in things anywhere.. as long as you keep your eyes open long enough..


fishing boats as far as the eye can see


salted fish in the making


this is an eagle which thinks he is a crow.. he was caught scavenging with them! tsk tsk tsk..


a family who eats together.. stays together !



the sea coconut fruit.. someone asked me how it looks like.. feast your eyes.. these taste extremely good.. very refreshing on a hot hot hot hot day.. :)


and thats the tree.. the trees grow very tall.. almost to 30 metres is some cases. The leaves are long fan-shaped. It is dioecious which means with separate male and female plants. Some tribes use these as aphrodisiac.


so the very cute.. tin can post box..


view of the temple from the beach - notice the rocks.. those are structures as an enbankment in case of tsunamis
