Rose..

Woke up to a full bloom rose this morning!!!! Such a pleasant surprise..I don't remember noticing this bud while watering my pots each morning -  it was like nature wishing me a happy weekend. :))

Re...a drop of golden sun..

afternoon sunlight filtering through my terrace

The afternoon sun filtering through my terrace captures my imagination and I rush to grab my camera :)) the play of light and shadows is captivating and I sit through watching it for a few minutes - mesmerized...wonders that the nature has in store for us..to show how everyday is different from others. I am sure this light was here yesterday, the day before and the day before that but I was too busy to notice it. It catches me unawares today.....!

Frames

A self acclaimed photographer, I constantly find myself attracted to frames...to people too...but I like frames..doors..., window panes..., arches..you get the drift..here are a couple that recently caught my attention...

Now some of my philosophical friends may try to interpret me with these...like dreams.....if I click more doors that open towards me than the ones that turn away from me  - does that signify that I am self obsessed?? ....no mystery there!! ....as anyone who knows me for half a minute will say ..:))


....this one was interesting...and before you start getting any ideas - this isn't I with my significant other or anyone I know...this was a couple who were actually having a major argument (from what I could make out with my limited knowledge of marathi and a lot of guess work)...but anyone who looks at them in this picture would hardly guess that....quite the contrary!.......that's the power of an image for you!

..continuing with doors....

there are some that are inviting......

....and some that make you respect their privacy....

some  frames create a boundary in anticipation of something...give the inner space a meaning for what goes on inside its sanctum...urges the viewer to imagine the life that goes on within its sphere...


....and then there are spaces which do not need a boundary to define them...limitless yet definitive...pure sanctuaries..created by nature....


...what's your fancy?

...Friends...my bridge across the world

I realized that I have been totally slack in keeping my blog up to date. The days all seemed to pass by in  flurry of activities..I have never been so disorganized in my entire life..but must say I like the new me..carefree..disorganized..taking each moment as it comes and am so loving it! :-)

Life has been extremely generous to me always..even when I perceived to be at its roughest there was a certain kindness in the way it kept bringing me hopes and cherished memories in the form of friendships that most people only dream to have. There are some of those friendships who are still with me..having seen me through ups and downs and others who have moved on - having provided the support that I needed at that time. Thank you wherever you are..be good and be yourself!

So long......so long...!

....and just when I thought I have had my share of good fortune...I find myself facing new possibilities and a promise of a future that I could never have dreamt of....in all of these I continue to be God's favourite child still...in little forms and big ones He shows me that there is someone out there watching for me....more importantly for me his generosity keeps manifesting in the new friendships that I stumble into on my way and the old ones that keep going strong(er)...

This one is for you my loyal friends..old and new...for being there and watching out for me..for defending me when needed....for making me the person I am ...and forever raising the bar..love and hugs...

friends....
