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............

Raindrops.........

Come rain and everywhere its a riot of green and the pearly raindrops, are delight to the eye......the magical monsoon is here to stay..................

The Seeping Light....

Often I've noticed sunlight seeping through the wet leaves and creating a mesmerising effect....I simply tried to create it but need more practice I must say.....

Beating the blues.....

With heavy monsoon and dull days for days what's more good than to beat the monsoon blues with brilliant hues of glass colors!!!!

The Evening Session

As the day roll towards dusk, the ladies gather under the beautiful Laburnuum or the Sagou Palm for the trivial chit-chats. I watch from my window and sometimes join as the children run around us and the pets listen ardently to our otherwise unnecessary yet stress-buster gossips.....sun rolls down behind the hills and dark sky usher us back to our routine knick-knacks.....

Men...Hah!!

Why cannot a man be a man without making passes...even if he is walking alongside their kids? Some say...it is the manifestation of manliness ...some, frustration....and I, call this the stupid male(or animal?) instict which makes them look foolish in most places.....:)
