Hiatus

Hello! This is just a note to my followers that I won’t be active on the blog for the next two weeks. If I do update it might be sporadic and as per availabilty of the internet since I’ll be on a trip. I will be back to posting regularly after 15th June. Some of

Late Spring

Late Spring. The pale shy tender blooms of early spring pastel colours, soft tints hide themselves, as though they cannot stand the growing warmth of approaching summer. Bolder blooms peek their heads vibrantly carmine, fuschia, indigo and saffron. Ixoras, bouganvilliea, marigolds and geraniums a multitude of vividness devours the landscape. Welcoming the heat. They can

Haibun: Half-moon

Half-moon. The eighth day in the lunar calendar. When the moon is a semicircle it is almost unreadable. It lies suspended in the middle of the sky enclosed in an air of mystery. I do not mind the night with a half-moon. A perfect setting for a paranormal mystery or a forbidden romance. A facet

In the spirit of resolutions…

A new year means a new resolution. Many among us manage to keep or break them. I tried making a few original resolutions this year. I could find none to make! How did new year resolutions start anyway? Babylonians were one of the first to make new year resolutions. They believed that if they stuck

Twenty Twenty Three

The first day of the new year sparkles like the dew on fresh grass in the morning sun Hi all, this is a gratitude/reflection post on the past year. 2022 was an okay year. When we think of past years we do not think of the negative moments, we focus on the ones that gave

Dusting off… anew

Hi, I’m back. You may have not heard of me since the past six months but here I am again. Life can change so much in a few months. When I started I lived in a different state, today I’m in a new place with the people I love. New people, new surroundings it takes

Rain and Sun
