Day 8: Staircases

I've been fascinated with staircases since childhood. I used to love playing on stairs as a kid. And now, I usually end up encountering interesting ones while travelling. Most of the times, they provide support to the curiosity of what lies on the other side...

Day 7: Monsoon Beauty

With the beautiful weather setting over our city, it is only valid to visit nearby lakes (we have around 4-6 in the city), with the monsoon winds blowing in your hair. How much ever I wanted my pictures to be great, my phone camera wasn't doing justice at all. But I like this one best from the ones I clicked...

Day 6: Reminder of our First Date!

I have always loved Men's perfumes. When I met my husband for the first time, I fell in love with the fragrance he was wearing. I couldn't help but ask which perfume it was and it turned out to be 'Black Market'! I burst out laughing because of the name :) We still have that perfume and every time I look at it, it reminds me of our first date :) It remains one of my favourites too!

The Ring of Love

I love my wedding ring! Whenever I look at V's name beautifully engraved on it, it brings a huge smile and my heart skips a beat. It's like falling in love with him, everytime :)

Photography Challenge Begins!

Something I had read on Facebook last month stuck with me - take pictures everyday, of anything that amuses you. Since my husband had upgraded me to a smart phone, I thought I probably should follow it. So began my tryst with taking pictures from my phone everyday and uploading them on Instagram and Facebook. Plus I read about it when I was in Kerala, what better place to start! Though not daily, I did click a lot of pictures there.

My friend suggested that I should take up a photo challenge and I thought, why not! So here I am, starting the challenge from today. I picked it up from Fat Mum Slim for the July Photo a Day Challenge, via a blogger friend. So here it is! The topic for today is Red, White or Blue.

A fruit I got introduced to in Kerala. Known as Jambakka or Chambakka in Malayalam, the red ones taste sour while the white ones are sweeter. 

Silent Night...

The silence of the night, brings no respite,
I wait for a cue, for darling drops of dew,
When a new day will rise, and bring me closer to your eyes,
I wait to hear your voice, as if I have no other choice,
The day passes by in your memories, makes me feel weary,
I want you to know you are missed, you are the very reason love exists,
But the silence of the night, brings no respite....

I am Grateful For...

It's high time I make a list of things I am grateful for, the everyday things rather. Helps me focus on happy thoughts better!

I am grateful for :
- The chai I get to make everyday.
- The food I am able to savour everyday.
- A laptop to be called my own with an internet connection.
- The small rides sponsored by V to places I like.
- The fact that V doesn't say no to my likes.
- The shelter under which we spend our own luxurious life :)
- That we have electricity in this brutal heat.
- That my in-laws are all darlings :)
- A husband who loves me unconditionally.

That looks like the list for today! I guess it makes sense to appreciate things that certain people are unable to have, doesn't it?
