He who sees the calamity of other people finds his own calamity light"


I saw this lying down in a corner..something which is supposed to be dumped but still staying in..:) ! The moment I saw this ..it reminded me of 'Tsunami'....wasn't it something like this..the aftermaths...!!!

When tusnami hit ..I was in Canada..all I could hear or read was through news..and the stories..!!! Lot of people contributed and so did I ..but to my surprise when I came here ..something that I figured out was that in most of these areas...people stopped eating fish..the fishery business went down..as people..saw live telecast ...of the dead bodies which were half eaten by fish and it gives that weird feeling when they see any fish...!!!!

Something no one would have thought...at least I never thought of this!!!!

People suffer in so many ways..sometimes its the shock,...nightmere..nausea about things..!!!

"There's no disaster that can't become a blessing, and no blessing that can't become a disaster"

I don't know but today I felt I should mourn for those people..and hence this is my condolences to all !!!

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Have comfort in the knowledge
that sunshine will return to the lives of
those who grieve

Symmetry is what we see at a glance...!!


Today am coming after two days gap ..:) yes and that is coz the landline had some problem and hence couldnt check in through dial-up...(goshhhh I miss my net connection...)!!! Around afternoon time..I felt like to call up the telephone services and ask about the fact..and thus I did call...the other end voice of a guy was so innocent that I couldnt yell at him the way an irritated customer should do..:p he said politely ma'am I Will pass the message to the lineman (who is supposed to be the fixer here )..and in the evening I checked still there was no dial-tone and hence I called up the guy and started...yelling with giving specifications and how the customer (thats me ;)...) feels at the other end...and the poor guy...I just felt bad for him...but at the end I told him..how he should not be only bothered about finishing his job But to make sure the task that he has handed over to his next colleague is getting its end result :D...the guy seemed like getting a new lesson..very happily he agreed hehe am sure he is new..or else..he would have given me good peace of mind ...lol!!!

We shape our dwellings, and afterwards our dwellings shape us

I look at this pic...and I could see the diamonds...what about you ?? ;)

"Miracles come in moments. Be ready and willing."


All these days I was talking about my friend, collegemate and over n above international musician Milind Date...today we planned to meet ..as I had already missed an opportunity of attending one of his concerts in Pune :(
Any how ...am pretty sure this is not his last..but there is more to come and I will be attending his live concert..:)

It was a short visit to his house but I enjoyed his n his better half's company! We met at Hotel Vaishali...:) any Puneite should know what is vaishali and where is it..and to a Fergusonian...its the home :D !!!
I went to this place and gosh even the waiters remember us :)..I remember I used to rush there only if I was hungry and the mess has no good options for us ;)..and the waiter Vasu...with a chinky eyes when he smiles..though he is a Udupi guy :D.....used to always tease me as I was a bit shy & reserved...so the moment I used to finish the famous 'Masala Dosa' (Indian Crepe stuffed with potatoes)...he used to ask me 'madam, should I bring ice cream..& I used to say no..and then he used to go on with the menu items...gosh...how shy I was :D and another guy...he was known among us and infact even his family might be calling him by that name..'Lingu'...a very nice sober ..calm person but these guys always had that warmth ..the hospitality...!

"Hospitality: a little fire, a little food, and an immense quiet."

I remember at times the college students who used to live in hostels..waiting for there pocket money...these waiters used to bring things for them and used to say...pay later...and I always felt the caring such that of parents..otherwise who..does like this..though they are only waiters and not the owners..:)

"A genial hearth, a hospitable board, and a refined rusticity." - William Wordsworth :D

But Vaishali Restaurant is a part of every Fergusonian...!!! :D For a moment I felt am in my college..:)...I guess we were lost in our talks and few people could make out that we were two crazy sitting there & chatting drinking coffee one after the other..so that we could keep the seats occupied..:)!!!

"Use your precious moments to live life fully every single second of every single day."

Later I went to his home...met his wife...whom we used to see her in the college campus..and till date I felt the same..:) ..and I wish the best for them :)!!!

I didn't know how we started our discussions from art, music, politics..:)...North America...the English...hehe, career, exams, ferguson days...friends..classmates...and the list goes on...yes ..there were moments when we were complimenting each other for being where we want to be :)...I think that is the most important and happiest part of living...You do what you want to and not what others want you to :)....!

"Some choices we live not only once but a thousand times over, remembering them for the rest of our lives."

The time just went on....and suddenly I felt its time to say 'bye'...then guess what...it started to rain with drop by drop...oh...I love this rain :)

Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness


Art is a lie that makes us realize truth
Today I went for the handicraft's exhibition..and believe me it was...like visiting each province...as each provinces speciality was on display..:) I brought some pearl jewellery specially from Hyderabad :) ...! When I looked at the crafts and man made items..I was thinking how talented 'humans' are...:) its really worth to look at it and cherish ....while I was going around...I saw these bells..kind of.. different..& unique...and I couldn't buy thinking how am I going to carry all this back ..to Canada...and hence my little heart prompted me to click it and save it with myself forever :D!!! The men are at work...as the orders were getting sold ...the men were preparing at the back...I was amazed ...:)
Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced

Every dew-drop and rain-drop had a whole heaven within it


The dew-bead
Gem of earth and sky begotten

A smile is a curve line which makes everything straight...true! But if it...is a real smile only then the true effect takes place and hence the magic of it!!!

If someone is happy..the person doesn't even have to even tell anyone...his/her face expresses all the feelings..J that's why I love to observe people and read them..:)

Today while I was looking for some topic for my photography and I saw this plant... seemed like had a crystal at the center..and I tried to reach the center but was difficult..somehow I took a stick to poke and find out if..it's a crystal or a bud...curiosity that killed the rat...lol..well....to my surprise it was the dew :D

I have very sensitive feelings towards.. dew.. it's a beauty of mother nature...and I don't believe that its the tears of the sky or so..!
stars of morning, dew-drops which the sun Impearls on every leaf and every flower

For a moment I felt that drop of dew is so safe and secured in the arms of the leaves....well protected yet the beauty we all can witness :)

I really believe ..beauty is something to be seen and not to be touched and destroyed but to be felt in the heart :)
"For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it."

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts


Blue...its my favourite color...even though people ...talk about Monday Blues...(some what depicting low and sad ..kinda mood). This color attracted me so much..that I couldn't stop to click..:) and when I downloaded it...I saw the small black insect in it ..wow..I think that adds up the beauty...my thought went on why the insect had to be black..n no other color.....and then I said to myself...It takes both the sun and the rain to make a beautiful rainbow ....
and so true..the blue flower with the thick lines ..a cream inside and to top up with cherry :D a black insect...!! After such a peaceful soothing...experience I had a terrific volley ball match :D...it was real fun...I loved it...smashing!!! I was so known for my smashes. & headings...:) Sports is something that I will love till death ....!!
Sports do not build character. They reveal it.
I really love each day and each moment of my life ...:) "Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."

"It was the love of love,
the love that swallows up all else,
a grateful love,
a love of nature, of people, of animals,
a love engendering gentleness and goodness
that moved me and that I saw in you."

A day spent in a school with my Dad

  No matter how old we grow, a part of us always longs to return to our childhood—to the school where we learned, the home where we grew up,...
