"A soul never thinks without a picture"

Aristotle rightly said it. Found the quote in the flight magazine on my way to India. Pictures & images always on my mind and what a perfect thought to begin the trip with! Some captures I managed in the midst of eating, shopping, celebrating and lazing around in Bangalore and Ahmedabad.
Back home (Dubai), back to my blog and back to squeaking! :)

 

 

Rangoli being made for Diwali. Infact in Bangalore what i noticed was that making Rangoli was not just part of a festival or occasion, a small simple one is made everyday and you will find it outside every house in Bangalore. It is thought to bring good luck.

Tulsi,(holy basil) is a sacred plant common to every Hindu house in India which is worshiped everyday.

 

 

The making of Gajra by my mother in law :)

 

 

 

 

 

Loved the Bangalore weather, a welcome break from the Dubai heat!!

clicked on the airport while leaving the city :)

 

 

Milk kept for the cat and look whose relishing it!

Having chai in glass at the roadside ketli :)

 

Blooming pinks

Some Pink Bouganvillas from my balcony :)

 

 What specially made me click them was, a bunch on one side of stem and not even a leaf on the other side. A contrast, but isn't this the case with everything around us!

Some 'Do It Yourself'

I had these lying unused with me, I wanted to use the rose in it, instead of just filling the potpourri stuff in something as a showpiece. So why not combine them!

A beautiful rose in a potpourri packet

Small bits of paper which were tied on the potpourri

A showpiece that can have tea candles (any candles), pebbles, shells, flower arrangements or even for money plant, just fill in water!

Colors of Joy!

Purple, Red, Yellow, Pink, Green, White...

I have them all! :)

I think I am obsessed with them these days! A normal day starts with them and ends with them. In the morning before I run to the bathroom or even brush or make tea, first task is to go and have a look at them. Everyday there's something new happening in this Colors family. The best part, they constantly change and adapt without complaining or even 'squeaking' about it. They promise 24/7 companionship, which nobody can. Obviously minor terms & conditions apply, nobody does anything for free in this world, so a tiny amount of give and take goes here, which is completely acceptable.

Well, I am talking about the beautiful flowers that bloom in my balcony everyday. We bought a few plants to start with 2,3 months ago and I am nurturing them since then, not a difficult task though. Easy to manage and in-expensive. They flower throughout the year and are commonly seen on the roadsides too. A welcome break to the eyes from the desert and the artificial towering city we stay in.

They are waiting for me, its time for me to water them. Till then have a look at the pictures I have shared here! Obviously, courtesy ME! :)
