Delhi Comic Con 2013

Venue: Dilli Haat
Date: 9th Feb 2013 (8 to 11 th Feb 2013)

When I suggest to Zorini that we go to the Comic Con, her first reaction was "Stop watching Big Bang Theory". Then she, of course, agree to it.

I honestly did not know that there used to be a Comic Con in Delhi, and this was the third time. I was really excited. Since I worked at night, I had to skip my beauty sleep to attend the convention. Had coffee with beef, then left for the venue.

When we reached the and book the ticket, we were first greeted by our very own Indian Spider Man (minus his dhoti :D).

Before we visted the stalls, we first stopped at the never to missed "Naga food stall". After having our fill, we visited stall to stall, meeting super heroes to another super heroes.

I met and took a snap with Jazyl Homavazir, creator of The Beast Legion, who sweetly suggested that I visit his Facebook page.

When I showed this picture to Lakuri, she said "Of all the people, why did you take picture with him?". Then I gave my explanation, then she said "(he is) so nerdy". I've also bought his comics (vol 1-8) for 250 INR. the comics says for ages 13+, and I am a 13+ hehehe.

This is Jason Quinn from Campfire Graphic Novels, the author of Steve Jobs 

Then, we have our own version of Wonder Woman (a Wolver Nana and Super Mama)...

Rorschach, who coolly posed for my camera

I believe this is Doctor Manhattan and of course Wolverine (sorry, my cameraman did not do a good job capturing the full hand :P)

Prince of Persia with Bat Girl

One of the favs in my Facebook album, Jack Sparrow in orange..lolzzz...I hve to say the head gear is good but why a shiny orange???

A healthy Nightcrawler

Skyrim

An Indian super hero?

Azazel, Angel and Storm

Princess Mononoke, the Wolf Pricess from Japanese anime. I did knot know who she was when I first saw her. So I thought "some people treat this as a costume/fancy dress rehearsal and came with whatever is available". Then I remember my list animes then it dawned on me that it was her.

Cat Woman and Snow White

From Star Wars

The Sorceress of the Gray Skull (He Man)

When I saw her, I thought she was Avatar Kyoshi but I think I am wrong

Yes, I was completely wrong. As corrected by blackestred Padme Amidala from Star Wars

Super Saiyan. When I looked at this picture in my PC, my first thought was "Gosh, is this Kima?" If its not him, then its got to be at least his long lost brother :)

Scorpion and Subzero. My cuz Jerusha commented "They both look great but for their arms. They have such a great costume but their biceps let them down". hahaha...so if you guys happen to land on this blog, make sure that you hit the gym and work on those biceps for the next comic con.

I was and still am a great fan of Phanton, the Ghost who walks. However, this old edition was priced at 55 INR. It was a bit too high for me :(

Spider Man seems very tired in the evening...hehehe

and last but not the least, with my very dearest friend Zorini, the worst photographer I've known :D

hey blackested, thanks once again for your input :) 

What about "good"?

I was tossing and turning on my bed last night, trying to free the blockage in my nose. Yes, the blockage was due to my cold. Being unable to fall asleep due to the disturbance, several thoughts came into my mind, some which I exclaimed "oh no", some which I missed, annoyed etc.

Then I remember me saying "The only good thing I have ever done is not chewing tobacco". Ok, I know I had said this as a joke but then I ask myself "What are the good things you have done in your life?". I try to point out all the great and good things I had done for others but then to my shock, my mind went blank. Am I reallty this selfish?

I often express my desire to work for an NGO, charity work, doing good things for the needy. And I'd say that I will be happiest but now I have huge doubt on myself.

Here again

When I checked my email today, I was surprised to notice that there was a new comment in my blog. Thought it to be a spam but the comment was quite alright (reason, name :P). I checked my last update, and wow, it's almost a year. I guess it must have almost a year too since I do not visit my blog. 

Spent the past months confused, trying to figure what I want it life but no answer till now. I've been working in a company that I do not love (:D). Couldn't come to the conclusion whether to go back home or stay continue to stay here in Delhi, or move to Hyderabad. Decisions, decisions; it's exhausting.

What happened so far - 

I have fallen for Dr Sheldon Cooper.

I've met the guy whom I used to have a huge crush on 13 years back. Yes, he is married and yes, he was my senior during those days.

I've also met one of my closest, dearest friends from middle school days after 15 (?) years. Wow, how time flies. All thanks to Facebook.

I took Zumba Fitness videos from Sandman. Though I have my doubt the effectiveness of the the workout, I guess I shouldn't be judging a fitness video based on the owner. So from last night, I have started watching and follow the instructions. I admit it is very very tiring, not as easy as it looks. And I have to pause and take a rest after every 5 minutes..hehehe..

Marketing

Summer in Delhi offers all kind of cool/cold drinks. Once of the stall I always pass by and never bother to look back are the pudina water (?) with nimbu stall. But, this at South Ex sure caught my attention.If I am to have a drink from any of such stall, I will surely have some from him. I really like the way he display it 

The Manali Holiday - 2: Snow and ski

New World Champion in the making :D

Not in the mood to add much words.....i might, later on...heh!

The Manali Holiday

Gee...I can't believe that this is my first post this year...gosh, I had been so lazy. Well, this trip that I am to talked about also happened last month *GRIN*.

Besides its beauty, the things I notices about Manali are:

1. The air is very clear, fresh and clean. In short, still very unpolluted

2. All shops including the fruit vendor ensured that they use paper bag instead of poly bag ( This doesn't meant that I am an environmentalist..heh)

3. The people are very good. A very simple example: the auto rickshaw drivers are not there to cheat you. (We reached Delhi in the morning and the auto driver tried to take an extra night charge..whew). I guess the weather greatly affect the people.

4. Tea/Coffee are really really good

I am not going to say much but let the pictures do the talking:

As I've never seen a snow in real life, we got really excited with the first clear view of snow on the hills.

We reached Manali in the morning and this is where we enjoyed our tea and bread-omlette

The Yak ride...I mean photo session with yaks. :)

  

In a Manali traditional dress; it's really warm, and a photo session with the sheep

This is a cherry tree (quite different from Farmville Cherry tree *GRIN*

We were advised to take only a small thin sweater with us as summer has started. Well, we ended up wearing this big furry jacket and bought a new one for ourselves. 

Snow water......seems to be very fresh but freezing cold 

A Manali woman. I have noticed that the women worked really hard but this lady is all smile for the camera

That's all for now. Next will be an update about the skiing trip

Yet another year over

How time flies. I find it hard that we are at the last day of 2010. Like we joked in the morning the year has ended before “we decide our new year resolution”.

The year 2010 is sure brings a mixed up emotion to my family. A new nephew of mine, the sweetest one anyone could ever ask for. He brings joy to the family. On the other side, my cousin sister and my aunt were diagnosed with cancer. Fortunately, the operations were successfully. At the end of the year, we are happy. Thank you, Lord.

Looking back at the year, I asked myself if I bring joy to anyone’s life. Did I achieve something great? I have no answer to these questions. What I do know is that I did hurt someone and I am sorry for that.

Being away from home for a long time now, it is sad to hear demise of our dear and close ones. A few days back, I was shocked with the news of the untimely death of LMSA ("Lalmalsawma" but that's how we called him) whom I've known for so long; we have been in the neighborhood for so long that I cannot even recall how I know him. All I can say is that he was one of the best person I know. Besides him, I have lost some close friends like Rocky, Lalrintluanga, Frederick (an old classmate) to name a few. It's hard to believe that I will never see them in this world again. I still think of them and still wonders. I could go on and on but enough of talking about dying here..heh!  

Looking at the brighter side, I am in good health; I have great friends, great family, good job and colleagues and oh, a roof over my head J. And a new found brother, family through LK..hehe. For all these, I thank the Lord up in heaven. If I am to repay for all these, it would take me forever to pay back.

I really wish I had spend my Christmas and New Year back home. I really had good time last year with my family. Anyway, hope we all will be well and spend the next and more Christmases and New Years with them.

To end this year, here's a small prayer:

Lord, thank you for your countless blessings. 

Thank you for wonderful families, best friends, job and a great team

Lord, do bless all my dear and loved ones with health, wealth and wisdom

Amen

Happy New Year :)
