Of the morning walk! Same spot as yesterday, but back to the morning sky. It looked uneventful, the sun had wrapped up its play. Day 4 of #30day 🖼️
I also loved this hazy lamp during my walk this evening, attempting to light the path, even when it need not yet.
Morning of the walk! Same spot as yesterday, same time. But such different shades of the sky. Day 2 of #30day 🖼️
I also loved this lone lamp standing amongst the tries, attempting to not getting lost.
I saw this hanging at the door of my daughter’s room today – am always fascinated by how creative the kids mind can get. She says she wants to hang such diaries throughout the house as she can’t carry her diary always along with her. Nice!
Christmas, the last festival for our family in the season of festivities.
Commercialised are the celebrations here in India.
Never are for us.
Lots of joy, with family - that’s the spirit we celebrate with.
Merry Christmas to one and all! 🎄
I’d a calming morning walk amidst a dense fog around me. I love the sweet smell of the fog, it tickles and bring a gentle smile on my face.
Every time the grinds of the daily life take toll over me, I travel to a place close by with my family and friends. The last weekend was another such occasion.
I love this place not because it is a perfect family getaway (that it is), but because it is easy to travel to, and so there is not too much planning needed. Most trips get burdensome by the sheer pain of planning so much, so ahead of time. I enjoy the travels where that’s not the case, especially when I have no interest to be a typical tourist and go spot hunting.
The purpose of one’s visit is what matters at the end. If it is to find out everything of interest in a place, sure, go sign up for a hectic few days. Even I do that at times. But, why do that when irrespective of how much you roam around, you can never cover all the interesting places, anyway? The tourists flocking around an attraction kills it for me. It is just a place of business. I prefer the turn en route where no one halts. Or the point which hasn’t got any fancy name yet.
Anyway, I know every nook and corner of this resort I stayed in. My family and I have visited every spot of interest in the place, and so can selectively just visit those that affect us. We did just that this time, too. Maybe, I am different. I am glad that my family is just like me. Crazy different “tourists” that travel for the experience, not with a checklist!
Here are a couple of more pictures from the relaxing trip.
A couple of years back, my daughter had written her first story from her imagination. This week she wanted to narrate that on her channel. So, that’s what she did. Another different, “non-sciency” video is out today!
No face, yet conveys so many emotions. A pen stand I love! #stationerylove
Not really proud of this undertaking, but there’s a reason. Bear with me. I will write a post soon.
My daughter premiered a new video on her channel today. Her interest in collecting facts and turning them into fun videos hasn’t dwindled a bit. Plus, she wants to try out new ways and settings now. This girl continues to impress and inspire me. Nice! 😊
When my daughter requested recently if she can have her YouTube channel, I wondered if she would manage to keep her interest. She does. She reads, writes and keeps recording. Sure, not everything comes out perfect. But she does not stop. Today, her second video is out. Yay!
Yep. I know first hand now, that’s just plain weird 🤦🏽♂️
I love to scroll through this 360-degree panoramas feature at National Geographic about Everest and its surrounding peaks. All the shots are breathtaking, especially the sunset view!
Be natural, flaunt your multiple shades. It is the contrast that makes us interesting. Even royal gold needs a contrasting shade on the side to be an ornament. Otherwise on its own, it is just a brick.
I spent a few calming hours with my Kindle in the garden today. Away from the hustle bustle. Away from the tings and chimes of the technology. I need to do this often.
This trend of closing off the doors to the content on the internet is getting extremely frustrating now. You can’t read anything from even a slightly well-known publication before they ask you to create an account or subscribe. Absolute bullshit!
We respected the lone tree, standing tall. Alone.
That’s one angry, cuddly Autobot! 🤖
Benches of varied colours and shapes- they always attract me. They have their ears to many wonderful personal stories.
Yellow is my favourite colour! ☺️
Current state - reviving an old MacBook Pro.
In process of recording myself talk, I have earned a new respect for the folks who do this regularly. I love writing, it comes naturally to me. I enjoy recording audio. But video? Boy, that’s not easy.
Skies blanketed by clouds
Breeze idling with playfulness
Garden nurtured at home.
Ingredients of a peaceful morning, And a calm mind.
