Here I am again, sneaking out some time, clicking pictures, and documenting "Today".

We got you couple to books yesterday.  In this picture  you are trying to figure out who is this  "Pinocchio" :)

Time, letting go, and change!!

Not just the momentarily uplifted mood but the sustained effect, or to say correctly all day long sustained release of the contentment and happiness!! There was an unnecessary upheaval going on in my mind….tottering my peace of mind, making me tired and gloomy by the end of the day…. That’s when I started to read “Book of women” ~ Osho, it is a great book indeed…it cleared many cobwebs in my mind….and when cobwebs are removed, the light enlightens the soul, gives a clear visibility to the eyes….your vision changes from being myopic to much wider!!

There is time for everything…time for loneliness, time for solitude, time for celebrations, time for introspection, time for letting be, time for gathering the pieces of the what is left, time for moving on!! And what’s more important is to understand the subtle hints of time, telling you silently to change with it…

when you see a peony, it’s large, often fragrant flowers, filling the air with its fragrance, you know it's spring and when you see the beautiful pink flowers of a lotus, afloat on the top of water surface, while the roots are deep in the soil in bottom, you know its summer, you rely on your knowledge, on your instincts to know when is the time for what!!

You should know when it is the time to embrace the change gracefully, like unfolding petals of a flower that embraces the wind….even if the fact remains that wind might embrace the flower so passionately that it might blow the petals away….into the air…

On a lighter note, We (I and Josna) had been on a day out, just two of us on Saturday…kids were taken care by their respective dad’s while the two of us shared some lighter moments over a cup of coffee and iced tea…it was a break for both of us…break from our routine and I must confess I forgot about whom I was for those 2 ½ hours…the conversation was about life in general, our future goals, how we want to see our life in say next 2-3 years and how to focus on good things in life!!  In all the effortless thread of communication, we forgot to click a picture of us...the memorable picture!! anyhow I am saving that memory here in my post forever!!

Around here

Still trying to figure out what I am…still in the process of defining my life, I try to do so many things, yet I fail to complete them…I begin with so much enthusiasm and fail to  take it till the end…that’s me…over enthusiastic me…ludicrous me…

Today while cleaning the cupboard, I found this amazing book and I wondered why?? Why had I left it halfway…I should have completed it…read it through…so here I am reading it again… 

Few amazing lines that I read today:

“ and it is a very simple fact that the more you know, the less you wonder….

As you grow older, you lose the sensitivity for wonder, you become more and more dull…but the reason for it is that now you know everything. You know nothing, but your mind is full of borrowed knowledge, and you have not ever thought that underneath it is nothing but darkness and ignorance…” –Osho, the book of woman.

A cup of steaming hot coffee and my book, 20 pages & still going on...nothing will stop us now, not even the broken glasses!!

No time to go out & get the glasses fixed, so what that won't fade away our spirit!!

Reading again :)

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

and that has made all the difference.

                          (Robert Frost) Quoted in The witch of Portobello

Reading Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho...

 It was long back in summer of 2009 that I had read this wonderful book, and that time.. I had a tradition of my own, every month when salary was credited to my account, I would head straight to the book store that was just outside the ATM and I would spend good amount of time in meticulously choosing my read, magnificent tradition, wasn't it??  

Today while I was arranging stuff, this book caught my eye and I thought why not read it again,... so here I am listening to the witch, letting her speak and trying to relate to the witch inside me ;)

May be It will take a month, may 2 months, or may be more than that to read it through & through, yet I can try, try not giving up on this wonderful habit of reading again...maybe I will read just a page a day...may be more than 5, who knows...whatever it will be, I will read everyday..lets see how well I do it... will surely do a book review once I am done :)

My book of possibilities :)

That's what I feel...

I like to click something unusual everyday...something that requires lot of brainstorming , something that I enjoy clicking...at times it gets really difficult to come up with ideas everyday but it keep me on my toes and restless that I really like. Here are 2 different shots with same message!!
