"A new beginning"

As the wind blows

With patter of rain,

Leaves fall; hurling, drifting apart

With sudden stab of wound!

While the tree broods over its loss

With complete silence,

The emptiness haunts.

A solitary leaf from the vine

Cleaves the tree trunk,

Carrying entire spring within!

At last, there is hope

For a new life, a new song

And a new beginning!

Colours from the kitchen

There are so many interesting subjects in the kitchen! The riot of colours, amazing textures and forms! There is much more to kitchen than just food! I had gone with family for Sunday brunch and found these bowls, neatly arranged with napkins and was fascinated by the contrast of black and white.

Kitsch kitsch hota hain!

Found this display of kitsch on the entrance of a wash room at a restaurant in Ahmedabad

Kitsch, as an Art form doesn't suit my creative sensibilities and aesthetic sense. I stay away from it like plague. So why am I posting a picture of Kitsch today? Because, it was ridiculously attention catching, flamboyant in colours and conveyed cheeky message! Of course, my first impression was naturally screwing my nose, looking at very loud nature of it but it made me laugh and by that I mean literally, laugh out loud. :)

I found this display of Kitsch on the entrance of a washroom at a restaurant in Ahmedabad and HAD to click it.

Flowers on the brick wall

Over the brick wall, leaning branch of these purple beauties danced with gentle breeze and I was mesmerized by the moment that brought perfect harmony between the harshness of bricks, beautiful green and purple colours and gentle flowers!
