Yellow flower doily

Pin It

Another week gone and nothing much accomplished. These past few days have been creeping slooowly for me. I have plenty of ideas, plenty enough to congest my little brain and give me sleepless nights, but nothing put into action. I hope this lethargy will lift off in a few days.


This doily was completed long back. Do you remember the little red doily? I used the same pattern and made 7 little doilies and joined them together. Then I gave an edging using a darker shade of yellow. 


 Last week me and Harsu went to explore a new park near his school. We had seen this park from outside but hadn't gone in. It had been a while since I had ridden my scooter and so we decided to take it and go visit this park.


He took his skates along and I took my camera.





I had hoped to see plenty of flowers there but I was only disappointed. This is a huge park but there were very few flowers. Even the one which is near our house has more flowers.







I was lucky enough to capture one or two before it started to get dark.


And here are some birds flying back home.

Weekend is here and I hope you all have a happy weekend.

Friendship

Pin It


Hello everybody, today is Friendship Day in India. I think some countries have it on a different day. Anyway since it is Friendship Day in India I would like to wish you all my blog friends a Happy Friendship Day.


Blogging has opened up a new world to me. It has given me the opportunity to know and interact with so many people from many different countries with many different interests in life. Each one of you have inspired me in some way and I have learnt a lot from you, and I am also trying to share many things with you.



So thank you friends for following my blog, for all the lovely comments that you leave here. I have to tell you that initially I used to reply each and every comment in my posts but now even though I would love to do it I am not able to because of lack of time. You know that I have two blogs now and managing both is not so easy. Still I do try to visit each commentator's blog.  It is nice to discover new blogs and make new friends.


Again, a Happy Friendship Day to you all. Have a great day.

simple Pleasures

Pin It
Yesteday the weather was okay, actually it had rained heavily in some parts of the city but not ours. For over the past one week I hadn't been keeping well with cold and fever and generally feeling lousy. So yesterday when I started feeling better I thought I would take my son to the park. He could practice on his skating and I could use some fresh air.

When I had gone to the park around ten days back there were plenty of flowers and I missed taking the camera along. Keeping that in mind this time I took the camera with me and thought I might do some macro shots. But I was very disappointed. There were hardly any flowers and even those one or two that were there had started to wither. Then I started chasing bugs, at least I could take some macro of those bugs. But again no luck. Those bugs wouldn't stand still and I started feeling silly chasing them around. So gave up on that too. Finally took some pics of Harshu skating and turned back home.




Flower for mamma, sweet isn't it?

 On the way home I picked these tiny flowers so that I could make some tiny arrangement.




Ok, my idea wasn't to make such a lengthy post but I got carried away.

Have a nice day.

Goodbye Stuart

Pin It

My parents' 11-year-old labrador, Stuart, is no more with us. My dad called up this morning to say that he left us last night. It was something which we expected because he had stopped eating altogether two months back. He just refused to take anything and sometimes my parents had to force feed him. My dad used to force open his mouth and pour a few spoonfuls of milk. It is a wonder how he survived this long. He used to love tomatoes and mangoes but he refused to have even those. He was such a gentle and loving fella. We are going to miss him a lot, especially my dad. Both were attached to each other so much. I am sure he will now rest in peace having lived a wonderful life with loving people around him.

A new start...

Pin It

...of a new blog.

Speaking thru the lens is my new blog especially for my photos. The response that I received for the earlier two posts on my photography has encouraged me to start the blog. I am NOT a seasoned photographer but I do take some good photos, which might interest you. So please do visit it. I hope you guys who are following me here who are interested in photography would follow me there too. Thanks for your support.

Back after a break with an interesting photo

Pin It
Wow, there are no words to descibe how happy I feel to be back on the blog. First of all a warm welcome to all my new followers and also a big Thank You for all the lovely comments. Had a lovely vacation. I visited so many places, met so many people, took so many photos and also made so many doilies. All together it was a lovely vacation but still I missed blogland a lot.

Lately I am having a lot of issues with intenet. I just can't understand why it hates me a lot when I love it so much. We didn't have internet connnection at home from the beginning of last month due to some fault in the cable and the problem has still not been addressed and I am using the data card of a friend's to post this.

It might be hard to believe but I had been completely out of touch with internet during my vacation too. My in-laws don't have a computer and my dad's laptop did not have internet. Actually there was internet until the day we reached my parents's place, but this time the laptop didn't like me (or rather my son who is a game addict) and "boom!" it crashed the very next day. So poor me was left without intenet for the rest of my stay at my parents' place. So here I am finally after a month-long hibernation. OK, I will stop my prattle here and come to the point.

I wanted to show you all this very interesting photograph that I took in a temple in south India, south Tamil Nadu to be precise. Have a look at this picture and you can see a white round in it.




See a close up shot of the round.



Even more closer


Isn't that spooky? Now I will make one thing clear. I don't believe in spirits, either good or bad. So thinking that this is a divine being or a ghost that materialized in front of my camera lens sounds silly to me. I have read that such rounds are orbs and that they are actually some form of energy which become visible sometimes through a camera lens but that is pretty hard for me to believe. I did some google search now and read that they are probably dust particles or small insects that get reflected and appear as white spots. If it is a small spot I can agree, but come on, such a huge dust particle? No I can't agree. So what is it? Can you see there are some lines seen around the edge?

This is giving me sleepless nights. You know, sometimes I even get spooked to go to the loo in the dark. I have to get it out of my mind. So I hope you will come forward with some findings to ease my mind and most importantly I hope they are scientific because I don't want to start believing that ghosts exists in this world (You know, I am a brave girl). Even though you say that this is a positive form of energy since it is seen inside the temple, it means that there are negative forms of energy as well which might be lurking in the dark corners on the way to the loo. Ohhhh! the thought gives me goosebumps.

Oh, I have forgotten to show you the picture that was taken immediately after that one. This picture does not have any round being and looks absolutely fine, so you can see that there was no problem with my lens.

   
Interesting na?

Hey, please don't think I put that round thing there. I have not yet become that tech savvy (Is the spelling right?) Only recently I have learnt to take fairly good pictures. So I promise that was not made by me. Anyway I hope someone will give me a believeable explanation for that round to be present there so that I can soon push it to the back of my mind.

One more thing, Josie of Handmade by Knottygal has considered me creative enough to pass on this award to me.


Thanks a lot Josie. This is my first. It seems that I will have to say a few things personally about myself. I have already said a lot in the "Who am I" page. There is not much to add to it. Anyway here are a few things.

I am a very positive person.

I am a very easy going person. I simply can't take my life seriously. I live for the present.

I love chocolates, I love it to the point that I would even gobble up my son's share (of course, without his knowledge).

Only recently I discovered my passion for photography.

I am not much of a fruit lover. I can eat any vegetable but not fruits. It is not the taste that I hate but all the work that has to be done before putting a piece into your mouth like peeling, deseeding, etc. You know, I am too lazy for that. But I like bananas. They are easy to peel.

I don't like movies. I watch very few movies, only those that I think would hold my interest.

I have been living in Delhi for the past 8 years but I can't speak hindi. Shame on me.

That is enough. I think I have to pass it on to others but sorry I am not going to do that. If you ask me, I would say I love all the blogs that I follow and I would have to pass it on to each and every one of them. I simply can't choose. So I am not doing that. I think it is okay.

Cutely Colorful

Pin It

Day after tomorrow is my son Harshu's birthday. Yesterday we went shopping to buy chocolates and other stuff to distribute in his class. We saw these duckies in a shop and I instantly fell in love with them. These cuties are actually pencil sharpners. I could't resist myself from clicking pictures and once I started I couldn't stop myself and went on and on. I took lots and lots of pictures. I am sharing with you just a few.



Waiting to be taken home.




These are pencils.



Have a nice weekend.
