Changing Lanes

I won't be making another blog post for some time as I'll be returning 'D' her laptop that I had borrowed earlier as my computer had crashed. Now with my computer still not fixed and I highly doubt its going to get fixed anytime soon as my brother is quite busy with other stuff and does not have the time to fix it plus I don't want to bother him with my needs for a computer. Anyway with all this bullshit going on in Dubai about rising cost, Salik and all has really pissed me off plus several personal issues popping up has put my creative side in the mood to do nothing (first poems, now photography). To add to it, I need to look for a job now that I'll be graduating in a few weeks so all this 'Kiddish' stuff in me needs to take a back seat. Life is not so good right now, maybe it'll be better the next time I make a post if I ever make one that is. For now I can only look forward to the 1st of June as a source of some entertainment in life. So that's that...

My cat loves sleeping on my bed which is one of the reasons I am not able to sleep properly on some nights due to the hair that are shed by her which seem to find a way into my eye though my other cat is an equal source of hair on my bed....anyway here's a picture of her resting on my bed yesterday evening...

The construction work on going opposite my house has been a wonderful source of pictures. I keep watching these laborers work day and night in the heat everyday. Its quite a sight as they work away in 40+'C without complaining or laziness. Anyway here's another picture of the construction site. I just spotted this Safety helmet lying there in the illumination provided by the on-site lights surrounded by the darkness outside.

It seemed like mating season cause some of these Mynas seems to be puffing up themselves to maybe impress the opposite gender or maybe scare of any possible competitors. Again a few days old picture but never got around editing it and posting it....

Found the way they were sitting on two wooden sticks interesting and snapped a picture. At least they were wearing a safety harness [the orange thing].
