Good News: #WordlessWednesday #WednesdayWisdom
Ann Frank’s story is such a wonderful reminder in these tough times, to hold on to hope. To believe in the goodness within us and that of one another. The world is going through tough, turbulent times. There is mass unrest, lives being lost, political friction, pandemic woes, mental health issues on a rise, devastations and despair. Yet there are instances of hope. And today I choose to share a few hopeful instances that have added meaning to…
Save Our Environment: #WordlessWednesday #WorldEnvironmentDay2020
“Let’s take individual steps to save our environment. It’s the only one we have, and will ever have.” My Rant from 6th June, 2020: Here’s a little rant/or appeal I wrote in response to a blogger friend, Shilpa’s Facebook post, when the life of the elephant in Kerela was nipped away, along with it’s foetus. My heart goes out to all the elephants and also other species in the wild, and otherwise who are relentlessly tortured, traumatised and…
Teach Peace: #WordlessWednesday #WednesdayWisdom
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. 🙂 Arusha wanted me to use the “Teach Peace” quote, but all of them…

A Star is Born: #FridayFictioneers #FridayFotoFiction
The stage is on fire, as Jackson Maine belts one score after another. The audience is cheering non-stop, gyrating to the glorious moments. The atmosphere is phenomenally charged. Ally is nervous as hell. It’s her first performance ever, to a packed audience of over ten-thousand. Never in her wildest dreams had she thought a chance meeting with Jackson would land her centerstage. Real time. It’s Ally’s turn to go now. She and Jackson step up the…
Wild Africa – African Adventures: #WordlessWednesday #WednesdayWisdom
“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…
Life Before Lockdown: #WordlessWisdom #WednesdayWisdom
“Most things are forgotten over time. Even the war itself, the life-and-death struggle people went through is now like something from the distant past. We’re so caught up in our everyday lives that events of the past are no longer in orbit around our minds.

“Because I feel that, in the Heavens above / The angels, whispering to one another, / Can find, among their burning terms of love / None so devotional as that of ‘Mother’” Edgar Allen Poe My mother, Ma, as I’ve aways called her frolics somewhere across the rainbow. In a world which is free of pain and pandemics.  Two years back she made her onward journey, transcending the anguish and struggles the Big C had entrusted upon her. But she…
