Paper Tree and Paper Lotus

As Ganesh Chaturthi is coming closer...like every year I'm gearing up to decorate the Pooja place for my Aunty's place....Though I thought of making many more artifacts, I could manage a Big Tree made only of old newspapers and tinted chart papers.......my kid and my students did help me but time was too short and loads of works remained undone.

It was absolutely fun to teach my friends to make  a paper lotus.....and they did an excellent job and I managed to assemble the huge petals after a little struggle.......but, they were all smiles and that made my day............

The Monsoon Splash...

Come Monsoon and people throng the Gateway of India just to get wet as the sea splashes, sprays and plays around.........and I am fascinated..so, when I came across a photograph, I simply couldn't resist myself...just that I couldn't seek the photographer's permission as he/she is unknown to me...apologies............
