Can any Journey be perfect?

Any trip can be an eye opener cause they always tend to
teach us something in the end.




I remember making this road trip in India when I was a teenager. We were taking
an excursion towards Jaipur, a city in Rajasthan.

We had rented a car and hired a driver. Thus, while he was driving the car, my
family was sitting and enjoying the ride and the sights around the town.

It was a hot summer

The IMPACT of Music

Any music is good if it touches an individual’s heart and soul.

These days some radio stations, are playing the Christmas carols and will continue to do so until the New Year dawns upon us.

For the past few years, I have seen magic in the air with that kind of music. It tends to bring people in the mood for giving and that soothing music not only makes us hum along but also makes the heart

Wordless Wednesday #16

With a cold wave sweeping across our country; we wrap our arms around ourselves to keep us warm as we traipse along the path of life!

I wanted to revisit those days when friendly temperatures made us smile.





Mantra for today: Nothing is Constant. Enjoy the moment.

For the LOVE of books!

I grew up reading Archie comics, and even though the ending is known; I loved reading these comics and continue reading them at times.



Alas, Veronica would win most of the time, and Betty would stand a chance either when Veronica was sick or out of town!

Jughead was there to bring in humor amidst the triangle between Archie, Betty and Veronica.



What makes me wonder is how the writer/

Food Concoctions

Let's face it..We are all food junkies.

The pie, and the cookies all cooked with loads of butter. 

Thanksgiving is long gone, but the leftovers still haunt us.




In our heart of hearts,  we would love to eat junk food any time of the day, but then the conscious people refrain from it due to health issues.

Health is Wealth. 
If Health is favorable, then we can make wealth.

What kind of memories do you wanna cling to?

The past weekend my hard disk crashed.





It is normal for the disk since it has a life span of only 3-4 years. However, the sad part is that I did not get my backup.



My documents and pix are gone!



The pictures that I clicked helped me create memories; were now history.



It was a sad moment since memories are usually clinched onto and today mine got erased. I have no proof left!

Words of Power

Never imagined the power of words after experimenting it on myself.



For the past one week...I used to pick 2 words that would be my left and right arm during the day and they helped me walk past all the emotional or physical hurdles for those 24 hours.

The procedure is simple.

 Before you start your day, pick two adjectives that could reflect upon your routine for that day.

When Conditions Apply...

With the crack of dawn, Peter dashes into the family room all excited to see what the big old man has dumped under the illuminated tree.



He takes a quick peek at the plate and the glass and is delighted to see only crumbs.

Goes on his fours to pull out a small packet, which has his name.

Rips open the wrapper and to his delight; he finds a cell phone.

He squeals with glee and mentally

The pose of this squirrel is humble and filled with gratitude as he awaits man to throw food at him.

Shedding tears while parting...

Mom was visiting me and even though we had a great time under the same roof for good 5 weeks; we departed with tears.



These tears could be a sign of,"I will miss you"

But, I was trying to understand the complexity of a human and also my behavior, when under the same roof, we would fight, argue, and even laugh on various issues.

We were quite satisfied with our time together and were ready
