May your day be filled with the fragrance of flowers
May you bloom like a flower whilst allowing others to make the most of life around you.
May you be the reason to spread smile and happiness around like the flowers.
Be the reason to attract others, have a floral day
Taking inspiration from the eyes and the amount of energy and power they posses, Sharing some snaps featuring the eyes from my eyes.
Adding some photographs from my collection which I took a few days back. These photographs are related to the Rule of Thirds a principle in the art of photography.
I just started to gather more interest in photography and I must attribute it to Cee.
I would like to hear from you all about these photographs and whether they qualify or not. I will read more about it and planning to purchase a DSLR probably a Canon 750D, to start with. I will be happy to recieve recommendation or suggestion for my choice of 750D.
The eye that have hope, dreams and a lot of vision.
Posted in response to: CCY Theme of Rule of Thirds Introduction.
Hope you enjoyed the post and liked them, will keep posting more.
Loads of love to all, and have a lovely weekend!!!
If you were able to divide your time between two places evenly which place would it be.
People living an urban life will agree with the fact that we are blessed with enough courage and potential to fight the daily traffic, reach our work, empty our creative juices and then again steer clear the traffic and head home.
To rejuvenate and refill the mind, body, soul and spirit we do take breaks. It pays to take some time off from our regular schedule whether it is at office or from home and plan for a change. It also gives us the immense opportunity to discover and explore new venues which this journey provides and it helps us grow further in our personal and professional life.
If I had the power to split places daily I would choose Manali. I have visited this Himalayan hill station thrice and it offered me to go back reloaded. Each of the visit is associated with a part of my life, while people would not like to visit the same place again then in my case I chose with a reason every time:
Passing by the caves made by drilling mountains, salute to the engineers. This shortens the route by connecting the mountains.
The place is calm and quite and the ecology provides relaxation of the mind and soul. The cold weather provides immense warmth for the mind and body. You tend to forget all your worries and pain.
Besides the hill there are loads of pine trees, apple, plum, pear and cherry trees all around. In fact the place where we had out up had a orchard and we would ensure that we had our share daily.
The place is also abode to many temples each having it’s own historic relevance and a story behind it. One such temple is associated with Sage Manu and it is believed that the place got his name from the sage.
Then there are Buddhist temple where you discover your inner-self by chanting:
Om Mani Padme Hum
A powerful mantra which echoes in the halls and transforms you. It means that you transform your impure mind, body and speech into a high and pure body, speech and mind of Buddha.
Never miss out to enjoy the local food and restaurant by taking some tips from the locals and enjoy shopping from the traditional and ethnic markets with loads of steal deals to take away.
The visit to the snow cap Rohtang Pass is the USP. The paradise is uphill 50-60 kms. The snow capped mountain has a wide variety of sports activity besides skiing. The wind blows very strong and is very cold and dry at times, with the pressure dipping it may add to bleeding. The temperatures dips to very low and usually you descned back before after noon.
Some random clicks from the snow capped hill top. Just a few people there, only you and the hills.
As said good or bad time will pass and it is always hard to say good bye to this place.
Good bye blue sky, good bye to see you back again soon….
So take a break, lets recharge ourself and spend some quality time with the world we love the most our family.
10 years back we printed photographs for all occasions and maintained albums, Now I wonder after 10-15 years how do we ensure we have the digital photographs protected with us?
I have another hobby of creating a video every time I visit a place, this consists of the photographs as well as the videos and I do good editing in it. It takes quite some time to complete it. I made the video for this vacation too, however it was too long so in fact I will share a small sub set of it. Do take some time out and hope you enjoy watching it:
Have a great time ahead…. Keep travelling and posting.
This is one of the few photographs which keeps me thinking how to caption it and what to caption it, a strange Trio.
I call this The 6 Musketeers – as the child and their grandparents both fall in this category.
This one is indeed a story of time in itself, The centre one is my Dad with his grand daughter and the other gentlemen are his best friends. The 3 guys are childhood friends and their sons are too. Here you see the joy that they are having a future generation in their hands, it gives immense pleasure to live this.
Have a lovely weekend ahead and stay blessed.
If you were able to relive one day from the last 12 months, which day would it be — and why?
Seriously for me this would be the time when I celebrate my daughters birthday.
It is always a lovely and wonderful feeling to see the shine in the face of your child, to watch the joy in their eyes and the happiness in their smile at their birthday. This is the biggest wealth.
They eagerly wait for this day and in my case she starts counting 2 months prior and prepares the list of ToDos and guests.
Give me another chance so that I can Relive the day once again.
Dear power angel do bless us and give back an extra day to celebrate.
Lets observe a minute of silence today for all those who left us behind.
My heart goes out to all the immediate family members who lost their life in the recent Paris attack on 13th Nov 2015.
May God give all the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons strength and courage to cope with this and wish they emerge stronger.
I work in a French firm and I feel the pain very closely.
All those who lost their lives were people full of life and wanted to enjoy life – watching a concert, enjoying a football match and dining out.
Lets observe a minute of silence today 16 Nov 2015 at noon in Paris (1100 AM GMT) as the EU has also called to observe a day of mourning and praying for all those who left us behind.
If you had the chance to be reborn, would you choose to return as your present self, or would opt for a fresh start? Tell us about what motivates your choice.
As I start with this let me say I may or may not preserve my memory and it is also possible that I start regaining my memory as I progress in my rebirth.
Thereafter the sequence of event may not be same assuming that there has been a lot of advancements since I am born, definitely will miss a few things as a child while enjoy some.
A life is not enough to explore the many opportunities around us, so it cant get better than to have a second chance to relive the moments with our near and dear ones.
So when I am reborn I will certainly like to be the same as my present self and would also like the privilege to have the same parents and family. I am privileged to have them in my life especially my parents and my wife and daughter. I would not like to risk at all, one might not know what he ends up with. So for sure I will try to live the same life again and modify a few recourse of my life which I think could have been much better and relive the moments with everyone.
This opens the whole world of possibilities starting from my childhood, teens, marriage, birth of child and much more. With the power of having retained my old memories I will certainly be fun and excitement to rewrite history again in another form.
With so much love and affection all around who needs anything else no matter how many times you are reborn, wish everyone has a life so that he must like to live it again and again.
Let there be some breeze and a drizzle of rain,
Let there be another life which I can relive once again.
Thanks team WordPress for selecting my prompt suggestion.
When was the last time you wrote something by hand? What was it?
I come from a generation of greeting cards, so yes I love to surprise people by leaving a small note very often.
I love to give small bits of paper decorated with a few words written by me to my family and immediate friends and mates.
Last I wrote one for my daughter and wife on the occasion of their birthday and daughters day.
I would highly recommend it to others and trust me it works magic when there is just a little bit of human touch. I equally enjoy receiving handwritten notes and cards, these add warmth.
Enjoy weekend… stay blessed.
When was the last time you felt truly rejuvenated and energized? What made you feel that way?
This happened to me a few months back when I had a trip to Manali a hill station in the state of Himachal Pradesh.
Did a lot many activities; my daughter was also brave and enthusiastic to join in.
We enjoyed the moment and would like to relive many more such moments.
Take a break and enjoy a few moments of your regular schedule and be restless and rejuvenated.
