Swishing a magic wand # WOW

July 30, 2017

It’s Sunday yet again and ‘This post is a part of Write Over the Weekend, an initiative for Indian Bloggers by BlogAdda.’

Little Po was sick last week and in one of my baby sitting sessions, I amused him with a simple Magic Trick. I would hide my slippers behind my back and ask him where they were. Then I’d say “Magic” and whip them out bringing a wan smile to his little face.

Honestly, last week was a week where I could have done with a magic wand to make life less chaotic.

One of the joys of the monsoon is the Cough& Cold Relay that is happily passed on from one person to the next.

Did you have a cold this week? Or even a sneeze this entire season?

A Nightsky in Mumbai #SkywatchFriday

July 27, 2017

This week has been comparatively dry but the heavy downpours have resulted in huge crater like pot holes in several roads of Mumbai. While the roads in my part of the town are comparatively better, the paver blocks have come up in many parts, bits of road have sunk and basically there is almost always a thin film of slush on the roads even if it hasn't rained continueously. This makes walking on the road more of a chore than a pleasure. So now I am walking on a treadmill in the comfort of a gym.

However, this doesn't quite compare to the vibrancy of a walk on Marine Drive which as you can see is still crowded and buzzing as late as 8 in the evening.

Happy Weekend

Horizontal , Vertical #ThursdayTreeLove

July 27, 2017

Today I actually wanted to post a picture of a marvellous avenue of trees but sadly I can’t find it any where in any of my folders. So after much searching I found this picture of a Banyan tree whose vertical roots are coincidentally mirrored in the horizontal lines of the pedestrian crossing.

It almost seems as though the tree is waiting to cross the road. Doesn’t it?

I’m linking this post with Parul’s #ThursdayTreeLove . If you love trees, why don’t you play along with a picture of a tree and the hashtag #ThursdayTreeLove.
