bougainvillea cafe..at home

Early morning country tea

its definitely cool these days in the morning

little mist in the air

a morning drive

walks in the parks

thinking of the walks in the Bougainvillea laced courtyards down south with tea in hand

walking past roses and bougainvilleas in the garden

Bougainvilleas blaze like jewels in the sunshine

golden sunshine lits up the room

a book not yet finished

"radiant raindrops of rajasthan" is it another word for the Bougainvilleas?

brighten your life with Bougainvillea.....

bougainvillea cafe,i use them a lot these days..
Bougainvillea,Bougainvillea.."radiant raindrops of rajasthan" aren't they?
a peaceful moment,a wonderful moment captured

some illustrations from the book

365 days the people make use of pulley...do u think when you visit rajasthan?

brighten your life...with bougainvilleas and tea...love them both

Today.Life is lived in the present. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is yet to be.Today is the miracle.

I love reading quotes

i think of life and the moment called present

the colour blue in mind

drinking sugarless chai,one of the recent accomplishments

would you all like to join in?

the flowers of Alstonia Scholaris still not bloomed

the blooming coincides with the festival season

we did enjoy navaratri and saraswati pooja

i enjoyed the holidays my little one

the fragrance of marigold lit lamps filled the house

loving the smell of dhoop and agarbattis

Reading amarchitra katha is one of the recent past times for us

A farm stay near Manesar brought in an inner peace within..(more later)

how about the combinations of green and red cushions in the living room?

very very traditional,isnt it?

making some cushion covers from moms old sarees

my gardener plans to bring saplings of seasonals

its the time of winter here after a month and i hope my terrace blooms with flowers....

I think i am forgetting today is it so...

did the future come into my mind?

it happens...once in a while...enjoy today

today....

Once again i greet autumn light.I wandered from one room to the other searching for the softer tones of light.Autumn light pours into the room and dances on my walls in the early morning hours.A mixed fragrance at home todaySome lilies on the chest and their intoxicating fragrance.I dug out some old lovable antiques,my betel nut cracker.The purity of the white hibiscus,nothing can beat it...staged some of them and took some images.There were marigolds for puja at home.Still my hands have the everlasting fragrance of pichipoo.

some of the moods at home today....
