Happy morning..


The Tropical Orange Royal Poinciana (Delonix regia) is commonly known as Gulmohar in India. It is also referred to as the flame tree or flamboyant tree due to its striking display of vibrant orange-red flowers. 

Just outside my compound, leaning into my yard, there's a gorgeous display of orange flamboyance. The whole tree is covered with flowers, and the winds keep blowing, making a carpet of flowers on the ground. It’s an eye-catching sight both above and below, and every year, they come to greet us. These occurrences require no effort, yet they never fail to cheer the surroundings as though Holi is on. They make a beautiful start to the day.

In my garden, I found several broken stone pieces scattered, each bearing its unique shape and form. Among these stones, one caught my attention.

I often found that my shared experiences didn’t always elicit the response I hoped for, while gossip about me seemed far more intriguing.

My vision was to frame this stone in a unique yet economical way. Fortunately, I found a carpenter willing to take on this unusual task. I even bundled in a few other odd jobs for him. However, when the job was completed, my excitement turned to disappointment. While fixing the stone into the

Childhood revisited

Nothing is late, nothing is wasted, nothing is lost I'm revisiting childhood in the 70s Eating neredu after being on the tree A satisfaction that puts aside all other marauding wants, desires Happy that I reduced them to few or none Seeking delight in small adventures Finding thrills in capturing beauties of nature on mobile And writing feelings down Do something when all that you want to do becomes impaled Small or big, no distinction When you walk away with a smile on your lips, that's the real deal Far out! I'm groovin' back to my childhood vibes, reliving the fab seventies. I'm diggin' the sweet taste of neredu, plucked straight from the tree, man.

I'm stoked about small adventures, snappin' pics of nature's trippy beauty with my camera, and puttin' my feelings into words, man. When all else seems like a bummer, I find my happy place in these small joys. No need fo
