  • Reliving memories #FridayReflections

    We’ve now entered the last quarter of the year and somehow this has made me more reflective.

    What has made this year different from the rest ?

    For starters, this is the year most of my class mates have turned or will turn 60.

    Funnily all of us still think we’re young. That is till we see each other – then we spot the hair that’s fallen, the waists that have spread and the walk that’s not sprightly as it was before.

    But yet we have a spirited conversation-on Whatsapp: slightly more polite and definitely more politically correct than what we had as callow adolescents.

    While going through my photos, I came across this video I made when I shared an afternoon with my oldest friend .

    Two seas separate us and time zones prevent us from chatting daily. But when we meet it’s like we never parted.

    Thinking of you dear friend this Friday evening . Hope your weekend is happy .

    Ciao

  • My skies this week #SkywatchFriday

    Driving down to Pune on Thursday I was disturbed to see my city shrouded in smog .

    But later on down the highway, I actually saw the mist rising from the ground. This is very strange at this time of the day ( 8.30 am) at this time of the year ( October) and in this part of the world ( coastal Maharashtra) .

    So I was glad to see some blue sky before the sun was really up!

    While walking in the evening earlier this week I saw this gorgeous fluff of cloud that lifted my spirits up.

    And finally I leave you with another Mumbai sunset taken sometime this week.

    My skies have been alternating between bright clear blue and a grey smog …. Hope yours have been cheery this week.

    Sharing these skies with other bloggers from around the world on #SkywatchFriday.

    Ciao

  • The Canadian Bonsai Star of YouTube

    Today is Thursday when I join other bloggers at Parul’s bi-monthly blog hop #TbursdayTreeLove.

    Personally, I’m not really a fan of Bonsai. It does seem quite cruel to stunt growth. Particularly for me who is barely 5 feet off the ground , why would someone want to keep a gigantic tree so small? And that too by cutting roots and reshaping branches etc?

    havi g said that, there is something decidedly beautiful about bonsai anc old bonsai are truly treats.

    So I thought I’d share this today on #ThursdayTreeLove-49.

    Also using WP’s new sharing extension .

    Ciao and Happy Thursday . The weekend is not far away!
