"Nothing that actually occurs is of the smallest importance"


Yesterday.. I went to the city and had really lot of fun having some of the corn puffs & veg. pattice etc...! I liked it as ...after the shopping I was literally...looking for something to drink...and the best I liked was...the moment you come down from the Elivator to the ground floor ..there is this small coffee stall...where you can get coffee, juice ..& 'kokam' Juice besides the snacks..& yes pizza too !
Pizza is something we have when there is no hope of getting good food :)...I remember..during winter time when its heavy snow and you dont feel like cooking and there is no left overs also..that time we remember the Pizza 'Take-Out' order!!! ..:D

'Its not hard to make decisions, when you know what your values are' :)

Anyway, as they say you only value when in need :)!!!

About the sales guy in the 'Vama' shopping center...initially when I was asking him about the tops n trousers/jeans...it was the usual experience for me..here as..'if you want - take it or else you can go' & I have often...said to them ...I don't think you need any customers...& I pity the owner!!! The guy started showing me some turtle necks..gosh!!! its so hot here and I dont think there would be any winter season where one needs to wear turtle necks...:D...I was zapped and said..."pleaszzzze this I have already...I want something for the weather here..since its so hot.".& probably thats when he realized ...that he should pay more attention to the customers requirement...!!!

His service was excellent after that..& he showed me so many different types of clothes and also suggested for some of the better suits & casual wears...I just looked at him and smiled..said."I appreciate!!!!"

Later, I came to know that the way I was shopping no one here would do so...as my bill was too high for here :p !!! So that means ...you only value the money !!!!

"Nearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it"

I felt..this is discrimination again...!!! A lady came there to ask for some office wear stuff and he was least interested & just went on as if he has some other important work to do..!!! Why such discrimination when our own Bapuji had said...'A Customer is like a God'!!!??!!!

Well...I felt like doing justice to this family hence I clicked this mother crow while she was feeding her kids :)..in Canada I have seen the crow in the zoo ..lol !!!! I guess I can sell this pic there ;)

The early bird gets the worm....;)


When I see this picture...truly speaking guys..its like a big achievement...as this bird has given me such a trouble that it often made me to run from top roof to the bottom and all the time it makes the noise and runs off as soon am ready about to 'click' how cruel is that on poor me..:(
"Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity"

Today, I had a very good opportunity as I had a very keen eye on this one ;)....I realized that this bird has a nest...:) its a streetlight ..behind which there is a small pipe..and each time I see this bird..brings worms (food) in her mouth and then sits on this cable wire...looks around to see if anyone out there..and quickly she goes to this pipe and again..a final glance to its surroundings...and then goes in to feed!!!

"God gives every bird his worm, but He does not throw it into the nest"

After a while in the similar suspense movie style..it comes out ...flies and sits on this wire again...as if nothing happened..and pushes off to get another one...

"Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow"

this was the routine when I caught her in my cam :D....gosh when I got her in cam...I said...loudly....'gotcha' & some kids around were looking at me as if I shot it hehehe...actually I did...as its not live with me :(

But I loved the routine & the struggle that our parents do for us...same way this bird...why do we call them animals...and differentiate...???
The hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the World!

Where flowers bloom so does hope.....


Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

This flower blooms for some moments only...but imagine how much happiness and fragrance it spreads...to all!!!! A lesson we can learn from nature itself :) Posted by Picasa

This clearly shows how the leaf is carrying this life..:)

A flower's fragrance declares to all the world that it is fertile,
available, and desirable, its sex organs oozing with nectar.
Its smell reminds us in vestigial ways of fertility,
vigor, life-force, all the optimism, expectancy,
and passionate bloom of youth.
We inhale its ardent aroma and, no matter what our ages,
we feel young and nubile in a world aflame with desire Posted by Picasa

Flowers are the sweetest things that God ever made and forgot to put a soul into. ......


Tonight...its was the D-day :D....at the right time..right moment...I was rushing with the camera...what a fragrance this flower has...it spreads in the neighbourhood...I clicked in all possible ways....and hence the bloomed flower...just standing on the tip of a single leaf...what a miracle of God's creation...imagine....I could just feel...like how a women conceives and then after 9 months...such a beautiful...life is born :)...& the curiosity...of the arrival..was the same as for this flower too :)
We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth

There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud


After a week ago,...I was chasing a bird...and got caught of this bud...which seemed like the about to deliver.... ( as if this leaf...has conceived...)..a flower!!!!!...my curiosity...took me to the level where ...I came to know that this flower..is called in India locals as "Brahma Kamal"...and the speciality of this flower is that it blooms at night around 12 and then...next morning it becomes gloomy...!!! So its like a matter of a moment's show-time :) Posted by Picasa

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,...
