Look Who's Riding

“Titanic” is one of the few movies I really like for both its cinematic excellence as well as gripping story line weaved with the facts of a real life tragedy. One scene which I really like from that movie is the penultimate scene, where Rose Dawson, the old lady is sleeping on her bed and there are many photo frames at her bedside. Photos about her illustrious life, a satisfied life, a life lived to the fullest. I had wished from the bottom of my heart that when I am on my deathbed, I should have such photo frames by my side!!

In one of the photos, this lady is riding a horse. No points for guessing. Yes!! I got a chance when I went to Mahabalipuram, a fortnight ago. For the first time ever, I was up on a horse ;D

That’s me on the horse “Blackie”. I must say it was a very fulfilling moment. Each penny spent on this was more than worth it. In fact, the exhilarated feeling I had is invaluable.

With this spirit, the re-incarnation of Jhansi Rani, that’s me, went on to have some shooting practice too at Marina beach later.

Wow!! I got 9 out of 10 shots spot on! Boy!! I had a ball of a time. The more interesting part is all this happened when I went to Chennai on an official assignment. Is it just a coincidence that such wonderful things happen to me on my official trips? :D (See “Me in ChinkyLand Series”).

Signing off!!

Feeling of the Moment: Top of the World (Oops!! Was I just on top of the horse??)
