Beautiful You, Beautiful Me, Beautiful Mind

Like they say: "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder"

Here's how I see it:
The colour I see as nice, pretty and wearable would seem too bright for the person accompanying me in the window shopping spree.

On a day I think to myself I'm feeling okay and looking it too, there's a colleague who asks me if I've had a rough day or why I look tired!

To someone, there is always that some 'one' or some thing that is always beautiful.

On a day when I'm in good spirits, I see the otherwise unnoticed surroundings as a pleasant picture.

Its monsoon now; there have been days when I curse myself for having forgotten the umbrella on the way back from office; In the same breath , there have been certain evenings where I don't want to miss the wind in my hair with the light drizzle of rain!

Is it that beauty really lies in the mind of the beholder!

You there, on the other side of the screen - whats on your mind now? Hope its a beautiful mind.

Hard day , good night and sweet dreams...

On one of the 'usual' days , I noticed a person who was travelling in the back compartment of a goods van. He was dozing peacefully amongst the huge pile of furniture in the open compartment of the van; I say peacefully, because the vehicle was zipping through the evening rush hour traffic with the sounds of the bleating horns, screeching brakes and screaming drivers.

Wonder how some of us have 'sleepless' nights thanks to our unsolved problems. Or otherwise owe a good night's sleep to a hard day's work.

So a passing thought and a fleeting glance to that peaceful slumber amidst all possible chaos of a perfectly hurried day - To wonder again whether that person had less problems in life or was he through with the day's hard work ?? For all I know, he must have just set out on work .....

Or is it that some of us know just how much and what we can lose sleep on!

On a weekend getaway

Had a chance to spend the weekend in a cottage tucked away among huge trees and coffee plantations. Winding, long and deep was the pebble strewn path that starts from the main road and ends at the gate that brings you to the cottage.

From among the tall trees , this cozy cottage stands elgantly owning the premises that spreads in front.

And lots of plants around provided enough solace for my city struck eyes. The evening sunlight brings out a different hue in the flowers. Take a look.

It was a good eco -recharge!
