Champa and Anaar

The prettiest flowers and  fruits I saw after a monsoon drenching; the drops of pure magic with fruits of wonder!

Kadam ka tree

It is my desire to share a rare and unknown tree and its fruit in reverence of Lord Krishna: the Kadam ka tree and its spectacular flower.

Raindrops on the lake

Ashtamudi Lake, Kerala
Raindrops on the lake surface create ripples.

A boat on the lake

Ashtamudi Lake, Kerala
Old Bengal style boats with sails in monsoons when the firshermen want their wharfs - their boats symbolically said.

random Shayari

intezaar hum aur bhi karlete agar tene aane ki bas aahat si ho jati
mukarar humein tha jeena isss kadar ki justajoo mein zindagi kat jati

इंतज़ार हम और भी करलेते अगर तेने आने की बस आहात सी हो जाती
मुकरर हमें था जीना इस कदर की जुस्तजू में ज़िन्दगी कट जाती

26/11 : Dedicated to the Nation (1st Anniv)

Of this day shall we live

to tell the next thee;

Story of our Brave Soldiers

and the martyr were we;

along came kasab

as evil as can be;

& snatched and killed our dear ones

as merciless as he could be;

stood quiet and stunned the world on this madness

with all their eyes and me;

this horror called Terrorism

as ghastly as one can see;

I pray to god for all alike

for godness of heart and mind

let peace prevail , with love let all be free!!

Periyar National Park

The humongous Periyar trees - colossal!

The wildlife sanctuary surrounds the Periyar lake.
Chilled rain on the boat - rain with wind and we shivered like hell. The boat ride froze us completely.

Once we returned that year was also the year of the boat tragedy at the same place.
