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..

this morning

Lucky was my awakening this morning..,i could see the sun before me,the rays melted in front of me and do you all believe ,my little one chased the sun,he felt it,he kissed it,he adored,he laughed and  made love with it.
In love with the golden touch..
Golden was his touch,that it just shone in my house and my house is blessed/.
my chai still got cold in the balcony,while i kept on clicking
the money plants get adjusted to their environment in the bottles.
best moments in life are caught in the mornings and i wait for it always...

the beautiful season


Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
tiled roofs and golden asparagusthe glorious vishumoments of new beginnings
the fragrance of mallipoo one evening

lotus buds wrapped in leaf
then they bloomed


then they bloomed

and the uruli bloomed with the blooms......this summer at home

very much at home

no ,not in dreams .....

are you all dreaming

na then enjoy the images and write to me ....
