This #wordlesswednesday, thanks to my older poppet, I got a bunch of quotes from Pinterest to share. Never done this before here. Well, I’ve been having a bit of a health hiccup and I was not sure if I was up to posting at all. But she graciously volunteered to help out. So thankful to you, Arusha Sinha.

“The beauty of Africa is not man made, it is natures gift to humanity.” ― Paul Oxton WILD AFRICA I’m so grateful to the universe that we managed to go on our African holiday, last year in October. Little did we know in a few months and in a blink of an eye, safe travel would become a distant dream. Tanzania is a wondrous country in…

These are a few snippets from Palaciao do Deao (Dean’s palace), an 18th…
LOCKDOWN SNIPPETS Here are a few things that we have been upto, all during this 21-day lockdown. And yes, there’s more. We work from home diligently every morning from 10 A.M. to about 6 P.M, some times a little more. We also take a lot of reading breaks. And yes, I haven’t watched so much TV in over a decade, as I am watching now. Including…
“Be like a tree. Stay grounded, keep growing and know when to let go.” tinybuddha.com It’s spring in our part of the world. While there is a riot of colours bedecking the outdoors, there are innumerable trees busy shedding and letting go. The new shoots are slowly but surely sprouting. These pictures where taken about two weeks back, before the lockdown. Now going on car drives is a distant dream, for sometime at least. Though the first picture…
“I LOVE MONDAYS” “A fresh new start. Chance to set a tone for the rest of the week, a great day to mobilise a whole new week and your dreams.” I LOVE MONDAYS A new week/a Monday spells new beginnings. I love Mondays. It sets the tone for my week, and translates to getting back to work, writing and the routine. I love schedules. Well, last week was rough, but the weekend prior to that…
