Pleased to look

This is a literal 5 minute working.

Created in a jiffy.

This is a gift to self.

The words inspire -

and not just on a birthday.

These words, I guess, should stay with one

throughout the year.

For a person

pleased to look forward

and pleased to look behind

would be a truly happy person.

May this happiness find its way in everyone's heart.

On the road

I stepped out on the road today

wearing my newest footwear.

Little knowing that the

heavy rains yesterday have

caused a cloud burst leading to

lots of water on the roads.

Gushing furiously - untamed and untrained.

The rains have also brought back

the life and activity in hills.

But thankfully,

the sky remained clear today.

At least most of it and

I did not face any inconvenience en route.

Have a wonderful weekend.

The Sunshine

To love and to be loved

is to feel the sun from both the sides.

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine ...

Touchwood.

I am now ready!

Life is learning

and life is applying that learning.

Life is about sharing.

So sharing these words with you all.

May you have a beautiful today

that becomes a memorable yesterday

and a wonderful tomorrow.

Summer styling

Summers are on full swing.

It is supposed to be monsoons,

but somehow,

these days,

it is never hot when it is supposed to be

and never cold when it ought to be.

So, July is very hot and humid

and trying our patience.

 Whatever little is left of it,

is spent trying to tie up a neat and tight braid.

So, I gave up a couple of days ago.

I came across this video

and knew instantly I had my solution.

At least for the days when I am not working.

Would love to hear your tips

on managing hair in summer.

Have a nice day ahead.

Simple clicks

Prompt - Texture

The prompt prompted me

to give a sneak peek

of my birthday purchase.

The official first look will be given

on the big day itself.

Yes, I have begun preparing for my birthday.

That is the only planned day as far as me goes.

And I love to indulge myself - so I buy new clothes, cut the cake and celebrate.

After all, it is one life :)

Prompt - Building

I clicked both the pictures en route to the office.

From a moving bus

with my humble mobile.

Guess, my mobile needs a standing ovation.

But not until I capture the rainbow on the dam with it.

Till then, hearty thank you's alone will have to serve the purpose.

Shared above is the picture of Temple of Markandya Rishi, Thalout.

And

shared below is a random click.

The location is Panarsa.

Prompt - Fingers

Hands at work

Fingers typing away.

But still, the day seems to fly away

and there is a whole lot of work to be done.

So signing off from the post.

Have a wonderful time ahead.

Meanwhile, the giveaway is still live.

I realized my blog is 100 post old.

And I got a "One Lovely Blog" Award

7 things about myself:

Night and day

The moon like a flower,

In heaven's high bower,

With silent delight,

Sits and smiles on the night.

-William Blake

We love the morning,

because we know that there will be night soon!

We love the night,

because we know that there will be morning soon!

Who loves the morning if there shall be no night?

Who loves the night if there shall be no morning?
