Aahaa Chennai

Sometimes, your day could turn out to be a mix of the 'good' and the 'not so good'. A smile tugs your lips as you sniff a familiar scent nearby and notice the fallen orange. Oh no! The essence of the delicious smell is lost, as your eye comes upon a 'hard to digest' scene nearby... a captivating butterfly, its 'stretched out' wings, silently narrating tales of many a fluttery journey, around the colourful garden, now being mauled by ants.

Nature proudly presents... an evocative showing of mother-child connections. Held together by tenuous threads that cohere when needed. 

Bright sunshine after a spell of overnight drizzle, brings forth a surprise. There's someone right next to the tap, maintaining a meditative pose for quite a while. Hours later, some movement is noticeable and pretty soon it's time for a take off, as you notice the wings move ever so slightly. As you notice the brilliant display in blue and black with a classy touch of ochre, set against the dazzle of sunshine, the pint-sized charmer proclaims... I take immense pride in being part of the great big insect family. 

Celebrating a green Navrathri... dolls to admire. Nature has helped out, by way of supplying resource materials, for the creation of this one. The one below,... is wholly created by Nature.

When fresh flowers are missing, and you need something flowery, to pep up your living area, Nature has an answer. Take a look at the dehusked remains of the coconut pile nearby. Your flowers are ready and they do have their own particular brand of charm and uniqueness.

It happens and you just can't stop smiling. There are times when the greenery around you, turns up with a surprise gift, a  'one-of-a-kind' card, a 'you-can't-buy-it-elsewhere' card, for wishing you on your very own special day. It is a joint collaboration with a certain hyperactive someone, namely, the wind, who likes to innovate.

An inching forth mellowy glow and burnished streaks of gold that delicately dab a coating over every bit of furniture in your room, in the early hours of the day, propel your feet to seek the window. The glorious spectacle, unfolding through the glass pane, the  fiery blob of  golden butter in the awakening Eastern sky that melts and overflows, yummy tidbits of sunrise... has you in a thrall. The tall trees serving as curtains reveal a bit and then some more  At  Uttarakhand and when the sun decides... it's showtime, folks, even the most diehard of sleepyheads, whose face is splayed with the vibrant orange fingers of sunlight, would agree... no matter how many times they've seen it... it is simply irrestible. The game is over in a while. The  sun is the hands down winner. The winner soon moves to  higher echleons to lord it over the others.
