• Hail Chief Bhavya and my  fellow tribesmen  Shilpa, Holly, Menaka, Suleka, Shalu, Prisha,Shinjini, Krystle, Damyanti, and  Teammocktailmommies

    After the last blogging challenge that I’d participated in,  I had decided that Blogging Challenges were not for me. They didn’t really increase my traffic nor did they get me more followers. But what’s different now?

    Well, WRITE TRIBE is one of the friendliest lot of bloggers who actually support one another ,particularly me.

    How do I count the many treasures ?
    My relationships with family and friends?
    My  travels that I treasure?
    The memories preserved in a Baby tooth,

    A lock of hair, a champagne cork or photos from the past?

    And what about the treasures that my life experiences bring
    The happy times and sad ones that leave me with life’s learnings?

    Or is my treasure the joy I get when I walk 6 kilometres at a stretch?

    Or do backbends and touch my toes without a whine or whinge?

    Among my many treasures are the freedoms I enjoy,

    The ability to laugh and sing and do the things I want to do.

    Indeed my greatest treasure is my blessed life itself.

    This was my take on the prompt for

    Day 1 (5 Aug/Sat) – Write about a treasure you have.

    I am taking part in The Write Tribe Festival of Words #6 

     

  • Early in the morning parrots screech outside my window.

    While some might find it blissful I find it’s cacophony
    In the middle of the morning cars honk outside the main road passing by the school that’s in the neighbourhood
    Buses lumber up the hilly road and cause a jam, cars rev up and brakes screech
    That’s cacophony
    In the middle of the afternoon when I want to rest , school is out
    And that’s cacophony.
    After five when cars rush home
    That’s cacophony
    And in the middle of the night when all is quiet still
    Whizzing motorbikes and racing cars with engines raised at crazy speeds
    That’s cacophony too!

    People feel that staying  in a high-rise would assure you  heavenly peace. Sadly, the higher you go the louder the noise and at times it’s really cacophony!

    Sharing my thoughts on #FridayReflections hosted by Sanch and Corinne.

    Have a great weekend !

  • In the monsoons, our Mumbai skies are normally grey and overcast . Sunsets and and sunrises are rare. So I was happy to capture this sky on Tuesday.

    I looked out of my window just in time to catch the sun before it said goodbye.

    Now isn’t this a gorgeous sight ?
