The Autumn Visitors – Night Jasmines (Shiuli): #MondayMusings #MicroMonday

“Flowers are the music of the ground… From Earth’s lips spoken without sound.” –  Anonymous The Night Jasmines or Shiuli/ Harsingar/Parijat as they are called in India, have once again made an unfettered come back. Night Jasmines herald the arrival of autumn, as they lie casually strewn across the ground beneath their modest tree.

Do you ever believe that a loved one who crossed over, could have reincarnated back into…

Once In a While We Need To Get Away: #MicroblogMondays #MondayMusings #MondayBlogs

Once in a while we need to get away… Once in a while we need to get away, from the rigmaroles of our every day routines, the busyness of our fast paced lives, from the mundane chores that we engage in. And from the spaces we have been living in.

“O, the mulberry-tree is of trees the queen! Bare long after the rest are green; But as the time steals onwards, while none perceives Slowly she clothes herself with leaves– Hides her fruit under them, hard to find.” -Dinah Maria Murlock Craik

5 Ways I Beat the Blues: #MondayMusings #MondayMotivation

I was hoping I would be done and dusted with the challenges of the 2018. But who said 2019 would come with a guarantee card, of an easier life. I really wish I could write a more optimistic post, and not start the first line by ranting. But such is life at times.

Fill Yourself Up: #MondayMusings #GuestPost #Blogiversary

Fill Yourself Up- Corinne Rodrigues As I sit reading a romance novel, nibbling on peanuts, my thoughts start to wander to all the things I could be doing during this time. It seems like I’m wasting my time on something frivolous when I could be doing so much more – like settling cupboards, responding to important emails, or even planning more posts on my blog. The more I think about this, the guiltier I feel. Then I tell my ‘parent‘…

“It’s not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?” – Henry David Thoreau Yes, I have been awol from my blog for way too long. What on earth is awol? Absent without leave. You might be wondering what’s eating into my love for blogging. Well, a few things. Here in India we manage to find ample time to engage in our passion, work and hobbies, if we have good helping hands…
