…. the colours of life with my kids
4 months and counting... This year, we'd planned to have a programme during the first quarter or at least during the kid's summer vacations. We all got more regular with the classes, practised better and we were generally gearing up towards the big day. And boom! The lockdown meant us having to miss our dance... Continue Reading →
******** Linking up at the blog hops hosted by Sandee, Natasha & Esha, Betty. Hop over to enjoy some lovely views/photographs or better still join in 🙂
Strictly speaking, this is a shrub, not a tree. I spotted this bush with pretty pink berries, in a resort we'd been to for a team outing, a couple of years ago. The whole day had been spent in various team building activities... I'd also managed to click a few pictures of the ambience and of... Continue Reading →
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” - Thomas Merton My attempt at making a Mandala design... Inspired by Ammu, whose chosen form of art during the lockdown is the Mandala Art... It has brought out my deep seated love of plants, with so much of it being plant/leaf... Continue Reading →
Picture these - Beautiful plants in lovely pots and planters, with accessories to boot. Plants, carefully pruned to show them off in the best manner. Flowering plants and other ornamentals chosen carefully to enhance the overall beauty of the garden. I'm sure most of us plant lovers would have seen such prettiness, either real spaces...

Today is June 1st! This was dad's refrain when he came back from his walk, this morning. It took sis n me a moment to realise what he was referring to... June 1st almost always meant start of the new school year. Well, it was like a date set in stone for us, during our... Continue Reading →
Wisdom inspired by plants/trees... You walk towards the kitchen in the morning and what first catches your eye is the branches of a tree against the sky, seen straight ahead through the kitchen window. The fresh green of the new leaves gleaming in the sunlight. Each morning, you try to take in this view and... Continue Reading →
Mother's day was around the corner. And, your mind was full of thoughts. Of your mamma. And, of you becoming a mamma. Oh how you missed her! You had hardly allowed yourself to think about her, about her absence. It had happened on a few occassions though and that day was one such. That was... Continue Reading →
Its been some time since I bought any flowers for myself. And, seems like its going to be a while before I can go out and buy some. In the meantime, here are pictures of a lovely bouquet, from my archives. Much needed cheer in unprecedented times such as these... Have a good weekend folks.... Continue Reading →
Its been a while since I've bought flowers for myself. But glad to have found these lovelies while browsing through my archives after a back-up exercise (yes my phone is bursting with pictures 😛 ). Lilies (Lilium), in general, are very attractive and enhance the beauty of flower bouquets, and of the spaces around. In... Continue Reading →
A little girl child of about 6-7 years. She happily comes home from school only to find the door locked. She patiently waits for her father to come home, diligently finishes off her homework and studying for the day while waiting for him. She keeps herself occupied in a dignified manner without disturbing anyone else... Continue Reading →
Saturdays are all about dance..mostly 🙂 A lot of things have changed over the years but thankfully my love for dance has not diminished. In spite of all the obstacles of health issues and time constraints due to so many other things including lazyiness, I've had the discipline to continue and keep myself on track... Continue Reading →
The highlight of the week's posts is the trip to Johannesburg. So, here are pics of the beauties that I happened to come across on the very first day there! Botanically speaking, this plant belongs to the genus Agapanthes and African lily/ blue lily are some of its common names. These take me back to... Continue Reading →
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand is an interesting book. Not in the sense of quality of reading itself, but more so for the strong emotions it evokes in people. I've met folks who have read it and absolutely love it and then there are the others who are wary of the book and find it... Continue Reading →
This was the year that I finally got onto my jewellery making! 😀 The desire to make accessories had been there since quite some time.
