I had these beautiful Diwali lights and I wanted to somehow use them on a daily basis inside my house. So I bought this tall glass vase and put the lights in them :)

Something that keeps bothering me, my career!

Last year's Diwali

From my garden

Light and shade

Light streaming through tangled palm leaves

No idea what flower this is

One in focus and one out of focus

This plant gives those beautiful white fragrant flowers that Indian women put in their hair (gajra)

This is a very photogenic plant in my opinion and for some reason reminds me of snow covered Russian forests. It called a silver something, I cant remember.

Mumbai Sunrise

My previous post scared my friend... so here is a new one ... All pic are from today morning

The last pic is of my plant, whose leaves are being eaten by mysterious insect.

Pretty Picture

This pic has not been modified, no filter used nothing, this is the true picture of a sunrise in mumbai.  I realise this blog is becoming more of a photo blog, but I cant help it. The sun seems to be taking timeout and pose for me! Who am I to complain. 

From Darkness to Light

Yesterday was a full lunar eclipse which was completely visible from my balcony, conveniently so otherwise this post would not exist. Somehow watching a shadow fall on the moon was more interesting than anything I could think of doing. I was reminded that I am a small ant (i know not compared to the other ants, but atleast vis-a-vis other planets and satellites!). There are more bigger and important things out there of planetary proportions and my troubles were nothing. Actually I knew they were nothing, but the eclipse drove the point home.

Miscellaneous

Sometimes the best person to depend on is yourself, because doesn't matter what the situation, you will always have yourself. It's a hundred percent full proof strategy, zero risk also. I wanted this post to be about soo many things, about my parents who after 35 years of marriage still really do love each other , how? is a minor miracle. That a 59 year old woman can tell a 63 year old man you will get fat if you eat sooo much, this is after he is already 103 kgs. I mean hello, permanent blindness anyone! The fact i asked my mother to divorce my dad at the age of eight and even at the age of 26 i still wonder how it works, how she still looks so much happier with my dad. All her white hair turns black, she has shine on her skin and she looks like a little kid.

I wanted to write about my holiday and show all the beautiful pictures I clicked and say how I didnt need to go to an exotic location to find happiness, I just need to go home.

I wanted to write about my job and ask why it seems to go nowhere and why its always at risk of being taken away. Why do I always find myself hanging on with my dear life, why don't i thrive and why I keep feeling I am living on borrowed time.  Everyday I get this feeling something is missing, there is this constant feeling, I am staring in my computer looking at the excel file and feeling like I am losing something, every single day.

That something's missing feeling, might have to do with the fact that I don't have a sense of direction, I am steering blind, trying my best not to take any unknown turns.

Every single day

Happy Diwali

Saturday Sunrise

On this Independence day...

Somehow I don't think we were meant to see a computer screen 24X7.

Delayed but happy

This is what I do when rain delays my journey to office -

 The beauty of having a fully automatic camera !

 Little drops of rain

 When people don't believe I have an amazing view from my house!

 Sometimes all it takes is to look though the wrong glass to distort the image.

 I wont say it drizzled, it poured.

The cause of all problems - Cumulonimbus cloud (this pic was taken by my mother as it requires a person to getup at 6 AM, the time I am in my REM state of sleep)
