How i wish i could go away somewhere far...somewhere away from the human world...to a place where only the nature resides...with birds chirping, singing their summer songs and building their nests...where the small calf nudges it's mother cow to feed it...
i wish i could go to some place where i can only hear the swaying and swooshing of the leaves...watch the small birds playing hide and seek with the sunrays...the bees peeping into every flower....

how i wish i could go to some place where i can feel the soft sand...my feet sinking into its silky softness leaving golden trails...the wind blowing onto my face making my curls dance ... the waves kissing the sea shore bringing lil' sea shells to bask on the shore...as if its crowing it with the tiny shiny coloured pearlies...
i wish i could go into the mountains where somewhere far i can hear the shepherd playing his melody on his flute...while the sheep and his goat stray into the soft green grassy pastures... where the cool breeze brings everything at peace...
somewhere...where the place is not abuzz with human activities....but with Mother nature at work... watching her children sing and dance to her windy and sunny tunes...
....How i wish i could go away somewhere far...somewhere away from the human world..... thats's my wish... i wish i could... :)

The way you bring out small and intricate things into the lime light, and the way portray them is simply amazing. These are such small things which we never notice in all the running around.

In this post too, you have drawn up a lovely picture (yes i feel your post looks less of a write-up and more of a portrait !! :) ... ) of mother nature and all its beauty. :) .. Beautiful..!!

The Old

O of #AtoZChallenge At night, when the world would be making it's bed, waiting to drop down, my Aaji would put on her transistor in her bedroom and listen to old Hindi songs on radio. Suddenly, everything would go quiet. A warm, fuzzy feeling would envelope our house. A smile would appear on our faces, the worried wrinkles on the foreheads would disappear and we would find ourselves going down the Old World Lane! Ah! The eternal- Old World Charm! Even today when I hear any old Hindi song, my imagination turns into black and white and I get transported right into the song! If I have to revisit an era, I would travel to the 'black and white Mumbai' era. When the streets looked squeaky clean, the Victorian buildings at VT, Churchgate basked in it's full glory, Marine Drive and the Arabian Sea looked it's cleanest. During my time-travel, I can feel the warm wind blowing, making my tresses dance. I imagine life to be simpler with lesser choices, less...

Hugging the Himalayas

*Crump* *Crip* *Kudum* The leaves and the twigs broke under my shoes. I was panting and puffing and sweating. Ashu dada called out, “We are almost there!” I put my head down and kept climbing until there was no more to climb. “Guys, you got to see this!” I raised my head and lost my breath. We were standing atop a hill overlooking the the magnificent snow mountains. The Dhauladhar range covered in white swept across our eyes. The sky was a true ‘sky blue’ and the sun shone on the tallest of the peaks. I was in heaven! And to prove that the cities lay on the other side cramped up like little ants. At Triund and Photograph by me :) Once I had gotten my bag in my yellow tent I sat outside and lay on my back watching the soft fluffy white clouds breeze by, taking in every bit of the snow wonder. The snow mountains looked no less than a bowl of vanilla ice cream sprinkled with choco chips...

Choti Nalu

N of #AtoZChallenge Nalu म्हणजे Nalini, my Aaji. My Aaji has a played a BIG role in my life. My Aaji (Mum's mum) and we lived together till she passed away. I got her, all for myself till the time I was twenty-one years old! She was not just my Aaji, but my roommate, my sister, my friend, my Guide, my Teacher! All rolled in one! My Aaji would often tell me stories. And some of these stories would be memories about her childhood. Whenever she narrated I would immediately be transported back in time, to the Mumbai of the late 1920's and early 1930's! My imagination would turn sepia and I would see my Aaji as a दोन वेण्याची छोटी choti Mulgi (but with my Aaji's face)! Aaji grew in the heart of Dadar. Her father taught my Aaji everything! He put her in the best school of Dadar (King George semi-English), he helped her in her studies through school, he encouraged her to sing and learn the harmonium, he taught her to cycle on the f...

Finding I

I of #AtoZChallenge It's a classic case of 'Lost and Found!' I realized that I had often lost I and found I. Over the years it had been normal. To lose I. To find I. Eventually I always learnt something in the process! Only I didn't know when was I lost and when I was found. It was the 'butterflies in the stomach' feeling that I always got. Before losing I. And just before finding I. Did I look forward to getting lost? Or did I...

The Cute Coffee Boy

It was raining. I entered the cafe disgruntled. The stupid rain had wetted by library book. And my date was running late. So here I was drenched with murk and water expected to dry off and sit in some corner reading a wet book as my date would make a late entrance. I headed straight to the counter to order a coffee. I saw no one. I yelled, “Will I have to make my own coffee?” A boy got up from under the counter and smiled apologetically, “Sorry. I will make one for you. What would you like?” I forgot what I wanted. He had twinkling puppy eyes and his lips wore a warm smile. His words seemed like a song that I didn’t want to end. He looked into my eyes intently waiting for me to speak. I wanted him. I wanted him to keep on talking to me. “I would like one hot chocolate.” “And would you like some toasties to go with it?” I wanted to say, “Whatever you say.” But I said, “Yeah cool.” Okay now keep talking. I asked, “Will you get ...
