artistic nudes..

and not a moment too soon..

and not a moment too soon..
without a minute to spare..
you touched my heart..
when i didn't have a prayer..
in my darkest hour..
with my world filled with gloom..
your sweet love saved me..
i was born when you kissed me..
i died when you left..
i lived a few weeks while you loved me..
not a moment too soon..
not a moment too soon..

(Humphrey Bogart, Tim McGraw)

the story behind: inna hrry.. chek in latr..

did you know this: the earliest known pre-cursor for jeans is the Indian export of a thick cotton cloth, in the 16th century, known as "dungaree"... Dyed in indigo, it was sold near the Dongarii Fort near Mumbai. Sailors cut it to suit them.. the word dungarees, to identify heavy cotton pants such as overalls can be traced to a thick cotton country-made cloth, Dongari Kapar, which was sold in the quarter contiguous to the Dongari Killa, the fort of what was then known as Bombay (Hobson Johnson Dictionary).. The word entered English with just this meaning in 1696 (OED).. Dongri Fort was rebuilt in 1769 as Fort George, Bombay, where the first cotton mill was established in 1854.. Dyed in indigo, the traditional cloth was used by Portuguese sailors and cut wide so that the legs could be swiftly rolled up when necessary. Thus dungarees have a separate history..
