Ascend
This bird of prey enjoyed soaring in the post rain breeze. Felt quite nice to just watch it thread the sky. Do birds do this thing to just show off to their mates when the weather is just right?

i dont know what prompted this kid to start waving the Indian tricolor on a nondescript summer evening. Any reason is good enough.
Crisis
“…the car sounds like its having a crisis. Like Laddy Chatterly having one of her crisis…..”Some juvenile laughs would ensue. I love Top Gear and would watch reruns of old episodes but i remember this reference standing out. What did it mean? who was this lady chatterly? well i finally have found what the fuss is all about.
