  2. So much adaptability and individuality. 

    They grow as stumps, fences, creepers. 

    Beautiful bougainvilleas

  3. Some people are blessed with green hands. They can grow any plant, anywhere.  Like Mum, she’s got green hands. (She’s also got a happy heart, and somehow the two seem to be connected. ) A bountiful luxuriant green garden she has- one half an ornamental and the other the kitchen garden. Her organic garden has bountifully yielded her with produce such as pink pepper, turmeric, guavas, custard apples, bananas, coconuts.   Every time I visit home, I find a new addition in her backyard, balconies and around the home. This time, it was this conchshell planter.  I have lost many plants in my pursuit of balcony-gardening.  I am still trying, one pot of a plant at a time. And mum’s creations, are surely inspirational.  It’s almost raining…  Hubli, Karnataka June 15th, 2012

  4. This thought in a Lifetime:

    Can set me forward or retrace me from where I’am going

    Can make me, break me or….. free me                

    Can last till the end or be gone before its born

    Can endure tolerance or enrage a fury

    Can  be a prayer or a curse

    This thought in a Lifetime:

    May flower as love or decay as hate

    This thought in a Lifetime:

    Is firm faith or elusive hope

    Is what I make of it- a boon or a bane.

    This thought. This thought. This thought.

    This Lifetime. Of Thoughts.


    So many thoughts on a day out

  5. You can try all you can,  Ultimately- The power and peace vests in prayers.  Vulnerable. Seeking refuge in prayers.  Cathedral in Milan, eve of 2010 

    You can try all you can, 

    Ultimately-

    The power and peace vests in prayers. 


    Vulnerable. Seeking refuge in prayers.
