A cheerful bouquet #FridayFlowers

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....

The glorious red of Summers #ThursdayTreeLove

A couple of days ago, our company sent out a wellness survey and one of the questions read - What are you missing the most during this lockdown? The first thing that came to mind was - Driving, taking in the skies, trees and views around. Yes, that's what I'm missing the most at this...

New leaves…the magic of new beginnings! #ThursdayTreeLove

It is one of nature's wonders that trees start to sprout new leaves just when the temperatures begin to rise steadily. Isnt it ? It soothes the eyes, provides shade and a cool breeze when the increasing heat seems to be taking a toll. Beautifully timed, the cyclical nature of events feels kind of magical...

Yellow Daisies #FridayFlowers

These lovely flowers belong to the family Asteraceae, also known as the Daisy family. I do not know the exact name or the genus this plant belongs to. It is one of the many wild varieties and was introduced to our home by our cook D. D brought the seeds from plants growing near her...

The temple came second. I guess it was just me who was excited about the temples. Sisters were...

Sculptures galore #MahabalipuramNotes

Continuing the Mahabalipuram notes... you can check out my earlier posts here A striking thing about Mahabalipuram town was that we spotted a lot of beautiful sculptures all around, at least on the roads that we took. They were lined up on the pavements, to attract customers perhaps. Luckily, I was not in the driver's...

Cloud Nine!

2019 has been special! I went on my first ever international trip.. to Johannesburg, South Africa!! When I started off in the current project, sometime in 3rd quarter of 2018, I realized that there were some trips planned in (for the bosses mainly). This was exciting especially because there's no travel plans in any of...

When flowers beckon!

I was fascinated when I'd read about the cannon ball tree, especially the flowers seemed interesting and appealed to the botanist in me. It has an unusual arrangement of the stamens which has been modified into a hood. And is hence known as the Naga Linga flower and the tree is the Naga Linga tree. Not very...
