so here i am.. .
what i had to do:
go to the 6th folder in my pics folder..
pick the 6th pic.
tell u a story abt it.
6th folder in my pics.. was "oman"
6th pic there was this.
this is the fort at barka *a beautiful little village just outside muscat - i think it was an hour's drive away*... made completely with mud. it's hundreds of years old *this means that i've forgotten how old it is and don't feel like googling!* and in perfectly good condition. it is not, however, open to the public anymore. *i'm guessing THAT is why it's in such impeccable condition.*
behind it are natural hot water springs. and a valley with little mud houses with absolutely gorgeous colorful doors! the valley had corpses of headless goats. to appease the evil spirits, so they *the spirits* would not devour the cattle or goats owned by the people living there.
brought back memories... this pic. been a while since i saw these pics. remembered how much i'd loved the place... and the warmth of the locals!
i tag dewdrop, purnima and galadriel... to pick one pic from their albums...and tell us the story behind it.

I must say I kinda liked your old template. I realize m not getting any points for being nice here. :->
How in the world do you manage to post so regularly? Its a feat. I wish I could do that.
Bummer, I never saw when your post was posted. Somehow I saw a date on a comment and felt you posted it yesterday.
I take my last comment back. You dont have to publish that one. And this one. Hope alls well though.
Ahh the good ol' days
mahesh: absolutely! :)
this was one of the weekends courtesy hassan! :D
taureau: i liked the old template too... but strangely, if i try using the code now.. it won't work! :(
