The Past, Present and the Future

Wishes, Desires, Ambitions!

Mantra for today: “Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming

Hunger!

"Keep the change!" he commanded as he twitched his eyebrows in disgust.

"No Sir. These belong to you." Harry extended his brown hands towards him that contained a few coins. 

"Sheesh! then just drop them here." Mr. Silva continued his journey as he spat those words.

Wordless Wednesday #119

Passed by this particular plant and could not identify it.

Nature sure has many ways to keep us interested. Just as we identify a person by name...Can anyone help me give a name to this plant?


Mantra for today: “Names are the sweetest and most important sound in any language.”                                                                                              — Dale Carnegie

A Mom

As the clouds continued to pour over the dry and parched land, Soniya persisted upon aerating the soil and sprinkling seeds into them. A phone call disrupted her activity, but she was quick to take it. 

"Glad you enjoyed the goodies!" she exclaimed in a joyful tone, "Sure, another package of muffins will be delivered tomorrow." She said while arranging the toys in the bin.

TV and Reality

If I Could Create A TV Show, I would vouch for a reality show.
