Bonalu Mahan Kali Jatara

Ha! it means the journey of mother Goddess Kali, in 1869 Hyderabad was suffering from a fierce attack of plague, then this puja/procession started, the devotees carry idol (?) of Goddess Kali on chariot, followed by procession (? read in google), a whole lot of dancing and drum play is included, I will share the pix tomorrow, the ones I managed from my bird nest. :)


You really don’t expect me to go downstairs, do you just to take snaps for you? If you did, I am sorry I am really lazy!


I can tell you one thing twenty drums playing together can almost cause heart attack ;p


Have a fantastic sunday.


love and hugs.

Thursday Rhymes 6.8.15

80 19.7.15 pantun, rondeau, quintilla, haiku, senryu


I will tie

my swing’s rope

to a rainbow

up in sky

and swing with stars

they will glimmer

all around me

showering stardust

on my head

the birds will fly

and sing for me

clouds will sail

under me

like fluffy boats

on blue sea.

Thursday Rhymes 30.7.15

85 24.7.15 rondeau ballad


play a lullaby for me

sweet fairy

let your music

run through my vein

like silver moonlight

like cool breeze of dawn

let them close my eyes

like the kiss of a lover

and rock me to sleep

like lap of a mother

and I will dream

of your land surreal

we will walk together

holding hands on ether.
