A Gentle Smile...
Heard about his demise so went to the funeral.
Saw him in his casket with the same old smile that he wore ~40 years ago. It made me go back to the time when I met him first. The boy who excelled in anything that he touched, or had an aspiration.
Worked hard for a living and enjoyed nature and captured it well.
He was a helper, a good cook, and brought a smile to many in need. All were

Sameer is a 'catch', he is qualified, comfortably off, well-employed, young and has no bad habits. And when Sameer was proposed for serene Kavitha, she thought he was too nice. But is a girl allowed to say No because the groom proposed is unexciting? Then she met his mother...The Guest is a day in the life of Mama,

Wordless Wednesday #67
This bare tree gives me another opportunity to talk about the New Year that we have just ushered in.
Although, this tree will shed its leaves in the Fall Season (~nine months).
But as we live each day of the twelve months, we will get an opportunity to put up a new leaf on our unclad and brand new year, 2015. This could eventually give birth to a bud that will blossom into a flower.

Home Alone
Ann bids her family a fond goodbye while wishing them to have a pleasant and safe trip back home.
She shut the door behind her and faced an empty house.
As she was picking up the mess after them, she could hear the echoes of her kid.
That made her quickly turn around to see nobody!
She shut her eyes, drew in a deep breath and smiled.
Turned on some soft music, and continued to clean

Change in Perspective
Year 1986
When I submitted my application for the school president; my classmates started buzzing around me with requests and appeals while I made a note of them. I clearly remember writing sentences such as, "Long recesses and access to the playground."
"Canteen should be open for a long time and should sell good (aka junk) food"
"Picnics should be organized at least three times in an

Do you prefer to be Alone or Lonely?
Lonely
Alone
Lately, I came across these two words and have read the interpretation of many for the above.
There are times when a person is surrounded by people, yet he feels lonely and there have been moments when an individual is alone and yet enjoying life to the fullest!
Both these adjectives have a deeper meaning on their respective platform resulting in a fulfilling motive that have

An aerial view of the city, but speaks volumes in many dimensions with respect to man and his inventions.
Wanted to start a New Year with Glitter and Hope.
Hope for mankind to be conscious of his thoughts and Faith that his actions will be in accord to the welfare of his brethren.
Mantra for today: Man is smart to have a dream, an ambition can turn into reality if faith exists.

Life, a Staircase
Tina stumbled over a step, but she was quick to put her palms on the ground thus avoiding to fall flat.
"Darn it!" she mumbled while cursing her legs that could descent with ease but when it came to ascending, they would take one step at a time.
She grabbed the pole gingerly and pulled up her torso while her legs hauled her to a standing position.
"I wish you would not follow the pattern
