Move on...

When was the last time that you were truly happy....


No complains ..not being grumpy... not cribbing....


This is a story worth listening to....

A wise man once sat in the audience & cracked a joke. 
All laughed like crazy. After a moment he cracked the same joke again and a little less people laughed this time. 

He cracked the same joke again & again, When there was no laughter in the crowd,  
he smiled and said  "When u can't laugh on the same joke again & again, then why do u keep crying over the same thing over and over again.” 

So Don't fret .. don't frown.. just smile & move on....

Sea breeze & shell frame

Another one photo frame decorated with potpourri...

Again the frame is made with cardboard, old news papers & lots of tissue papers...

This is how it looked at first...

We felt the colors looked  bit dull & the whole look was kind of unfinished!! so repainted the light blue part to a darker steel grey.. the texture really shows through in this...

To give it a richer look, used blue glitter liner to make patterns... Thats the final look sans a pic....

Sunset & the City

I love gazing up to the sky ... ever changing... ever enticing... ever beautiful...

If God is an artist, then the sky certainly is His canvas...

Captured the various hues of the evening sky with the sun setting over the Mumbai skyline

Sea breeze

My sister's latest creation...


Wanted to do something different with potpourri & she came up with this brilliant idea of creating a photo frame..& decorating it with potpourri...


This frame is made using basic stuff available at home... some cardboard, old newspapers, lots of tissue papers & of-course potpourri.


The potpourri used is "sea breeze"... nice soothing smell & cool colors..

The end result is fantastic (did I tell u she is brilliant)...

Peace of mind

My mind had been a whirlwind of activity for quite sometime now... so much that relaxing & just chilling had become a real conscious effort!!!!

A short story forwarded by a dear friend had a really soothing effect. This was a must share...  

Once Buddha was traveling with a few of his disciples. While they were passing a lake, Buddha told one of his disciples, "I am thirsty. Do get me some water from the lake."

The disciple walked up to the lake. At that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy and turbid. The disciple thought, "How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?"

So he came back and told Buddha, "The water in there is very muddy. I don't think it is fit to drink."

After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake.

The disciple went back, and found that the water was still muddy. He returned and informed Buddha about the same.

After sometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back.

This time, the disciple found the mud had settled down, and the water was clean and clear. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha.

Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said," See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be, and the mud settled down on its own -- and you have clear water.

Your mind is like that too ! When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless."

Having 'Peace of Mind' is not a strenuous job; it is an effortless process!

New Beginings...

There’s so much running through my mind right now.. . I dint know where to start…

& jus then I heard this song by avril called “Innocence”, & immediately I knew this had to be my very first post…

I love this song & the lyrics is great…

Waking up I see that everything is okay

The first time in my life and now it's so great

Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed

I think about the little things that make life great

I wouldn't change a thing about it

This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay

This moment is perfect, please don't go away

I need you now

And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by

I found a place so safe, not a single tear

The first time in my life and now it's so clear

Feel calm I belong, I'm so happy here

It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere

I wouldn't change a thing about it

This is the best feeling …

 ... stick along... its a fun ride ahead...
