Come forth into the light of things. Let nature be your teacher

This morning...was a new beginning :)...I was all set for a good and healthy start of my day :) ....I went for a long drive...Gosh!!! I have to say...its scarrrrrrrry.........I was thinking what possible remedies could be there so that...one can make the traffic system like in Canada ;) but guess what..my inner voice were like those two who are debating with eachother...with the pros n cons :D ..when one looks for remedies..the other says of population...then suddenly I saw ..a huge bus, truck and scooters...and cars and cycles...n all possible vehicle ..in the midst of this...pedestrians crossing the roads...my lord how people are not worried for their lives...!!!! I really felt that Pedestrians should be given there right of way first....!!! I can just keep on writing on this Pune Traffic...a chilled air flows through in my heart..! Like Madame Curie said.."Nothing in life is to be feared, only understood".
But then I relaxed my mind by doing some photography...! I caught this couple in pink ;) and grabbed my camera..! When I looked at it..I really felt these are like couples living on that branch where they have green leaves which provides food and the thorns...too showing the reality of life..! Like the two sides of a coin. What a big lesson we all can learn just from our own surroundings...nature..and still we humans - the most intelligent animal on the planet..try to run away from problems and the facts. "Life is like a taxi. The meter just keeps a-ticking whether you are getting somewhere or just standing still".
Wow..that quotes for both todays traffic and reality of life ;).

Well...these flowers also remind me of my Botony practicals..where I used to spend hours peeling the flower and trying to find a stigma & ovary :) how things have a different look as we grow ..! This picture teaches me a lot of reality in life and I find so much of peace in mind :)...that no one is different....its the individual ..how they react to that situation. I am content!!!!
The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it :-)

"The world only goes round by misunderstanding"

Today....am like this picture...which means...some what green but most of it dry :( and sad!!! Many times our modes (ph & chat) of conversation..takes us into such a mode where we dont know what the other end is doing and hence many times a well joke is not entertained long or is always misunderstood :(. I also had the same experience...am hardly serious..but then seems like my acting many times tend to feel as if its all Serious :'(( ...

"No one would talk much in society, if he knew how often he misunderstands others"...and the conversation took at such a peak ..where it was useless even to mention that it was a joke :( !! Why it happens ? It never happens with others...then why only here?? Makes me scarred and I often keep thinking...what IF....gosh...what a ghazal to play at this moment ...'fasla to hai magar koi fasla nahi, mujh se tum juda sahi ..dil se to juda nahi' !!! (There is distance but still there isn't, we are far but not far from the heart..somewhere in those lines)....
I read this ..& it made me laugh ...lol..."Ever since Eve gave Adam the apple, there has been a misunderstanding between the sexes about gifts" may be am trying to relieve myself..as when a kid falls..even though he cries..he gets up himself...when there is no one to lift !
Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding

"The bud may have a bitter taste, / But sweet will be the flower."

In school I was a great fan of William Wordsworth...he was a true nature's & romantic poet...! I remember as a kid I used to sit near the pond and stare at the water...the ripples it used to produce due to the small dried leaves falling in to it ...and many times the squirrel while eating the fruits n nuts..some of the crumbs used to fall in the pond water...I myself never knew in those times which part of the world I used to be...often...I was not there even though physically I was very much present...and believe me...we two gals ...sitting next to eachother...but with silence....no one talks except...the nature :)!!!!
one of my friend 'Maitry Suman' used to tease me by the name 'William Wordsworth' :D....today when I try to search through my camera's eyes...it reminds me of my childhood...where my mind always wandered whenever I was near nature...!!! Now a days am studying for my exams...while trying some of picture taking techniques ;) ! My mum loved this pic the most...so I thought why not share it here ...:D...today I went for a long walk...felt good...once again...my thoughts had opportunity to wander around....!!!!
"Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it"
I often find this...dunno how..ppl find out that am not from here ..:( I tried a lot to fool...today while I went for walking...I dressed up in Indian costume (Patiala Salwar & Kurta)...and guess what..:D I was presented with a flower...hehe...a kid came running to me and gave it to me...(my suspicious nature)...first I started looking around... thinking..this must be some guys...trick lol.. ;) but nope...very cutely he said...'ye aap ke liye...acchi lag rahi hein' (this is for u...u are looking good)..gosh! so cute he was...& before I could ask his name he ran off.......:D
'This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet'

A soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone

This flower is real and its Rose...a true Indian local one :) but has become so special with the camera ;) ...yes now a days am practising my thought & belief of beauty in each and every element that God has created :) When I looked at this rose ...its a simple one..sides burnt or eaten by insects...but the capture of each aspect of it ...has given a different look out all the way..:D guys..its not about my photography..its the camera ;) I think by now Canon should pay me for there free marketing ...lol !! Besides capturing beauty am going around the city...sometimes shopping..clothes..or sometimes trying to find the converters so that I can use the Canadian appliances here ;)...driving reminds me ...it was not scooty..its Kinetic Honda ...:D gosh...when I saw scooty...oh gosh i said nope!!!! My craze for bike has made people to encourage me to drive this Kinetic Honda hehe ...driving is not a problem but then..I dont want to spend my vacation in plasters oops!!!!!!
Besides that...am eating lot of sweets :) yes....and one must be so aware how indian sweets are...high in calories ...but am lucky that I put on cheeks hehe..hmmm yummy...these barfi's...there are so many varities in it ....I am amazed :)..so the sweetness in me comes from ...haha lol....!

Beauty is not in the face;beauty is a light in the heart

Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy; the mad daughter of a wise mother

How many of you believe in astrology? & how many of your life revolve around it..???? Its so strange when I see and hear certain things...and more when I see people's faith in it. I also happened to be at one of such place and the guy said ...I have lot of struggle in life in career...:) & I think any ambitious person will have to struggle...as one will keep trying to reach high :D. I didn't felt anything...then he said...no peace of mind ...but then through out I will have enough money...house etc...c'mon...I think its all in one's belief...& what one's priority is...! As a child I always believed in 'Karma' (the deed) & rest falls in place accordingly.

'Do not worry about the future for it is not yet come. Live each day in the present and make it beautiful'. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined
The stars never lie, but the astrologs lie about the stars
Look what MK Gandhi says: I know nothing of the science of astrology and I consider it to be a science, if it is a science, of doubtful value, to be severely left alone by those who have any faith

Pune's Traffic is the topic today ;)

Today I went for shopping...:) again the 2-wheeler (scooty), guess what...I ws wearing helmet ...as here they have enforced law that for two wheeler commuters..both (driver & the back seat passenger) have to wear helmet or else................cops are waiting!!!!!!! ;)
I thought in City Pune 2 wheeler is the best to commute...looking at the heavy traffic..but seems am wrong .. lol!!! Today while sitting at the back seat..I was wondering...what If I was in the driver's seat..gosh....a cold feverish kinda breeze or what....all someone in my mind said...'my Insurance would have gone HIGH...or....my license would have got suspended indefinately....ofcourse many accidents to add to it..:) !!! The above pic is still a cleaner and neater view....this is a normal and soothing traffic :D. When I drive in Canada...I thought how safe we drive..by looking at the blind spot etc...But here..GOSH!!!!...its real multi-blind spot checking...today I was just wondering....raining heavy...ditches which are already covered..with water...then constructions...then...road blocks (uffff).....then truck checking in the middle of the road...GOD help us!!!....All I could feel that moment is "The only thing we have to fear is fear it'self - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified, terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance "

"Experience teaches us at the expense of our illusions"

Here it seems marriage season on full swing...even though its monsoon time :D...I always wondered how come...!!??!! but hey..should there be any time and moment to celebrate ..;)..I guess not!!!! :D and also a common thing when the Groom is going to marry the Bride ..he goes with the procession either sitting on the horse or in the car and ...the hillarious part is the crackers...boy...no wonder why its so polluted...one can breathe the gun powder in the air...gosh!!!! Another thing I noticed...now this is not about the marriage but the riding/driving part...gals they cover there head so well that only eyes can be seen (wow..can be fooled anyone)..recently law has been in place to wear helmets..! Seems that's a big relief!!!! ....Somehow...I couldn't cover myself so well as I would get suffocated...may be am so much in pollution that ...now one feels suffocated with fresh air hehehe...!!! Rains...have decided now to fall in instalments ;) as now one can see the sun and guess what..went for lunch outside...enjoyed...but the travel was in an auto...:D altogether in that autorickshaw ...including the driver were....8 ppl...that was another amazing experience ..I thought :) ...in all this I didn't forget wishing...'Happy Canada Day - July 1st' ;)
