the Summer that i left..

it was Summer time,
what a time it was...

School's over, 
the  months of may and june.
 Its lovely to have the sun shining ..
Thank god, for the  time of flowers,blooming heads of krishnachuras,the summer festivals,salads and the light summer kurtas..
in love with my summer whites and floral kurtas..i bought some new ones too..
we  left the summers in the north halfway and travelled to the south..
See the summer we left behind:)-
wasn't it wonderful?
the grace of the krishnachuras 

curtains,shadows prints and patterns

summer flower power..


the summer peace

Frozen frames

How much I love my village, don't you all know? How much I want to get settled down in a village..people close to me know that too..away from the hustle and bustle of the fast city life..having seen many cities in my life, lived in many cities, I always want to come down to a village, where time stands still, you then see the time rolling, the sun setting, the evening lamps lit in the courtyards, the Ramayan being read aloud on the verandah.. and the beauty that surrounds me that reminds me of the phone call from my Amma telling me that its the month of Ramayana and they are going to read it in a day at the sacred grove starting from the sunrise of a day to the sunrise of the other day. How incredible the rituals are still followed with sanctity. I love them for what they are .

Influenced highly by the villages where our grandparents belong...there isnt a day that I don't remember them and our villages...how much I love them...how much.

Frames of  my village, memories down the lane frozen in time..Some time spent during the summers where the life is best! The green colocasias rolled their head when photographed, the violet guavas, the fallen and dried leaves on the village paths..ferns overgrown and so much more ..

Its the same every year, nothing much changes here..

One afternoon

One afternoon,in the month of may.
whats blooming across the bedroom window?
they bloomed,and they are blooming all over like crazy
falling down the streets,washed with a golden yellow
flying all over and floating in the thali ...

As i sit miles away in my home down south..i miss them
i wait for the june showers ,to bring down the flowers along with it
still i hear a rumble in the sky and then this time I shall read aloud the" Flower School" for my daughter.
life is all about nostalgia isnt it..?
