it rained in Fort Kochi...

Every year at Fort Kochi,the monsoon season

I loved the rains of Fort Kochi...my kind of rain..

sometimes it just rained on and on...without a stop

it drizzled too

i sat here,looking down..

the many mornings that i enjoyed...

and those walk along those narrow lanes

The rainy blues and the rains of kochi that haunts me in my sleep,the rain that makes me dream.

The chai on the wet window sill,the chai and plumerias on the walks,i saw the moments that swelled before the rains and their after moments..the coral  vines  and the wet walls

Sunny evenings,rain on its way...

rainy mornings,sunny evenings and cool nights..

early evening sun shining bright and lovely

kiss the sun shine good bye,lots of clouds and rain on the way

First rain....

First rains and a cause of celebration for me .It rained throughout the night.A rainy,grey morning.The monsoons have started its course in the southern states.A light breeze which brings with it the smell of wet earth,green moss and rain,the smell of all my favourite things,it softly detonates your receptors and transports you into a woodland,remember having read somewhere,how true isnt it?the forests might have been covered in a mix of green and brown.Moss covered rocks,what a beautiful feel...wet ferns from the crevices of walls....how beautiful..the plumeria held on to its flowers without shedding them.I wish i could capture the sounds and smells of rain in each image...how nice

Reflections of a rainy day breakfast

moss covered tree trunk
wet ferns from crevices

roses and rainblue bells that fell in the woods

loving the light in the kitchen

Narcissus and Rains...

*Narcissus on my table 

*A kettle made a beautiful vase,

*Kettle where never tea was poured,but stored oil in my kitchen,innovative isnt it..?

*It made me think after i saw the image...

*Made me think about Greek mythology and Bed time stories

*Love and Myths go hand in hand..

*"Before the Rains" a beautiful movie 

*Passion has its price

*Frames by "Santosh Shivan"

*dreaming of Kerala

*love that blossoms in the woods

*love that finds an end nowhere

*exotic love affairs,touching and thought provoking.

*love without past taints of condenscension and guilt
