A Journey of memorable smiles April 11, 2016 Sorry folks, but this is not a high quality shot, but the memories around it are truly treasured and precious. It was taken on an iPhone, like most of my pictures are. I was using an older version of iPhone, with a not very high-grade camera. My older daughter captured this moment from our surreal boat ride, on the majestic Vembanad lake, Komarakom, Kerela. The Vembanad lake looks more like a…
Scarlette ‘O Hara I was mesmerised by the stunning beauty of this flower that I rechristened Scarlette ‘O Hara, as I have no clue whatsoever of its real name. I spotted this bundle of gorgeousness at Balur Estate, the coffee plantation in Chikmaglur, South India. If any of you know this beauty’s real name do let me know.

Eight Things I’m Grateful for in Jaunty July July was pretty much uneventful, most parts of it; so I am assuming. But possibly I’m being partly judgemental. Judging my jaunty July without really considering the details-not a good idea! If I look deep into the recesses of the month, there was actually some interesting action and a chunk load of things to be grateful for. The month began on an unfettered note and continued to flow like an unbridled river.
c’est la vie; That’s life “C’est la vie”, she said, her chocolate-brown eyes twinkling back at me; her cascading curls bobbing down her strong shoulders. Every time she speaks, her eyes smile back with a spark of sunshine. You know, there are just a handful of people we ever meet whose eyes speak for themselves. And when they do they pour a confetti of joy your way. Ginny is one of. them. I was sipping into my full-bodied, Blue Tokia…
placid River This picture was shot on my iPhone camera, at the Dandeli sanctuary, Karnataka, India. The serene, River Kaali enveloped us in a surreal calm. All our worries, from our city life just vanished into the thin, fresh air. We sat there spell-bound, soaking in the bliss and silence of the “River Placid”.
