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…

SOLO SUNSETS I need to share the back story of this #WordlessWednesday post by getting wordy. 🙂 And I would not have it any other way, so pardon me. This picture has a very special place in my heart, as it was shot on my first solo trip. On my first evening in Goa, I hopped across to Thalassa, the café on the hillock of the Vagator beach; to watch that surreal sunset many had spoken about. I know…
{O} is for One With Nature We are beings of Mother Earth and as much part of nature as the trees, the nodding poinsettias that sway to the rhythm of the gentle breeze, or the mammoth mountains that stand tall and the regally flowing rivers. But how often do we consider adapting ourselves the way nature does? Do we flow downstream like the brook by the countryside. Or do we insist on flowing against the tide? Do we learn to…
ONE WITH THE SKY This was taken last Sunday on a hike to the rugged, semi-bare; yet awe-inspiringly calm Aravalli forests. The placidness of the dusty path, a sole partridge running for cover, a splash of clouds wooing the azure sky, and two people close to my heart sharing some unique moments; left some indelible imprints. Footnote: It’s uncanny my post title reads as “One with The Sky”, given the fact that Esha who blogs at The Sky Girl and I…

O is for Opal Sunsets and Ochre Sunrise Timeless Classics, Around the Earth till infinity I LOVE sunsets and sunrises. Well who doesn’t? They leave me spell-bound, contemplative and grateful. Opal sunsets and Ochre sunrises transport me to a world beyond the scheduled grind of life. Though they come and go each day, yes that too as per routine; but each sunset and sunrise is distinctively different from the other. Every time I lay my eyes on the transiting colours of…
N is for Nebulous Adventure of the Night 15 April, 2017, Bah, Chambal, District Agra, Uttar Pradesh This was possibly the most adventurous Easter weekend I’ve ever had. We just returned this evening and I look back incredulously and marvel at the arm loads of memories I have carried back, of my rendezvous with the different creatures of the wild. That too in a matter two days! Something I’ve never witnessed in my entire life. These beautiful beasts of the wild…
M is for Mighty Cerulean Sea October 2006, Panglao Island, Bohol, Central Visayas, The Philippines Our vacation to Bohol is one experience that we will continue to cherish the most. It was our first holiday destination in the gorgeous Philippines, where we lived from 2006-2007. Bohol is an island province in the Central Visayas region, consisting of the island itself and 75 minor surrounding islands. We took a short flight to Tagbilaran, Bohol’s capital city, from Manila. The fresh balmy…
H is for Happy Birthday to You June 2013, Vivanta by Taj, Madikeri, Coorg, Karnataka, India Day 2, 5:30 IST: In the wee hours of a misty, rain drenched morning in stunning Coorg (where we were on a holiday), my lucid dreams were broken by somebody whistling. A shrill, happy whistle, the pattern of notes going up and down the scale, a whistle that stood out amidst the pitter-patter of the rain. One that sounded like a melodious, “Happy Birthday to you.”…
