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.
La familia 29 May, 2017 The summer of 2017 was a remarkable. La familia took a road trip to the lush, cooler climes of Uttarakhand from Gurugram, where the summer heat was refusing to beat a retreat. One of our pit stops was my birth place; the stunningly, verdant Pantnagar University, before we headed out to mountains of Dhanachauli. This shot was taken upon our arrival at the captivating property where, we were put up. The cottage and the clouds…
“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked.” – Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar The Mighty Fig Tree On our arrival at Balur Estate, Chikamaglur this August, the first thing that grabbed our attention was this mighty beautiful fig tree. It really caught my fancy, as I’d never seen a fig tree. And…
In Love With The Canopy of Reds “Trees are the earth’s endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.”- Rabindranath Tagore On city walk to the wondrous city of Dehradun, I chanced upon these canopy of creepers . The creepers entwined themselves in a circle of love, on the magnificent trees above. The hanging, red blooms swept me off my feet with their mesmerising dance of red. As they bobbed above my head, and the gentle breeze kissed…

twilight and the tree “Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.” ― Kahlil Gibran, Sand and Foam @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Linking up with the gorgeous Parul Thakur for her Thursday Tree Love- 43
It’s our last morning at Dhanachuli, a quiet little hamlet in the Himalayas. It’s a Thursday morning too. A day when we share our Tree Love. As I walk past the apple, pear and walnut trees, I look at them quizzically and wonder whether to feature them in my today’s post. I take some random shots, but they aren’t as appealing as I would like them to be. We are bidding this lovely hamlet a final goodbye, walking past the…
“God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers, and clouds and stars.” – Martin Luther King On a mid-monsoon morning, the wispy clouds powdered across the sky, draw out designs of divinity over the glimmering river Kali. The gracious trees bow and behold the sight in reverence, as if becoming one with this symphony rendered by the heavens above. The large tree under which we sit, relishing this spectacle put together…
It’s balmy sunset at Thalassa, the Greek Resturant that lies ensconced on top of a cliff, at the Vagator beach in Goa.
As the sun peers through the cloudy sky; the wisps of cobalt yellow rays or are they pixie dust, tumble into the evening sea that placidly shimmers in a magical glory.
There’s so much to be thankful for each day, and to start my day with gratitude, a smile on my face, and a spring on my feet is the sure shot winning mantra to a happy, positive, rewarding day. Like most people, I’m blessed to have so much. If I were to start counting my blessings the list would be endless. But at the same time, these blessings also include a few things that I am lucky to not have…
