the New Year,the New light!

Sometimes u feel like talking and sometimes you feel like writing.Hope 2015 is keeping you all safe in its arms.

The last month of 2014 had taken us for a roller coaster ride with about of winter flu ,cough and cold and sinusitis and vertigo taking the major share :)-The moments were enjoyed nevertheless,by putting the christmas tree was up and the ornaments for the Santaclaus to make his way into our home:)-

Delhi in the winters  is a muse for poetry and metaphor for romance.As on ode to the long awaited first winter rains there were  Kale flowers to go with it.In the midst of all this there were new dreams,new hopes,new home and new light. I saw the gradual transition from dissipated light to more direct rays and patterns of the sun  inside the homes.The sun kissed mosaics now  give my images life more than anything i would love.

The season...

A very beautiful season in transition.There couldnt have been a season ever beautiful as this..There cannot have been a spring season as beautiful as this..Explosive greens,mellow yellows,shining reds and blazing oranges and leaves and flowers at your feet..It is as though a magic revealed in the nature.I always glance out of the windows ,to see the sky blue,to see the trees budding,the sun shining bright.Can you all describe the fragrance of the breath of spring?


"You can cut all the flowers,but you cannot keep spring from coming."Pablo Neruda

this might be the hundreth time my little one draws hearts to me ,but somehow on this day it really helped me a lot...I love you too..much more than I know,u know..love

these wintery days....

The weather is chill these days and we have been enjoying it in the comfort of the home.The morning teas ,the rajais and warm sun in the terrace and the subtle light that descends into the living room.Even in the chillness,I open the balcony to invite the light in.I usually go on a late morning walk and bring back the blue flowers.The blues that filled the urulis and the evening glow in the balcony and the chillness is on its way back..

the winterlist of holidays...

tea and the cacti

the subtle december light

Waking up from an afternoon nap and this is what i saw..wonderful

Pure magic

Grey foggy days...

I love the fog,

so quiet and peaceful:

wonderful for a walk in the fog

the grey foggy days..

the fog rolled in and

we waited for the sun to shine..

hot cups of chai,carpets on the floor and heaters to keep warm...
