Water nudges you awake

Image
I woke up in the middle of the night. and rushed to check the tap. It was closed. I heaved a sigh of relief. A dream.... Water all around me from an open tap, kept open, awaiting the arrival of water supply, which  finally announced its presence in the early hours of the morning, with  a gup..gup...gup...gup... the noise of water pushing its way past, through an air locked  pipe. A reminder note: To check for open taps, leaking taps, especially, if you intend to travel. Water asks: 'Can I remain the No. 1 on your "to do" list?' Water Series:3

A tale retold

Image
The teacher began... I am searching for something, that, at times, tastes more delicious than your favourite ice cream. Can be had... anytime, anyplace, warm or cold. Removes my headache. Makes me feel like I am alive again. Mellows me down to a happier frame of mind. Gives a super fresh feel to my skin and body cells. Tastes good with friends. Can even help me make new ones. Helps me earn many a smile or a heartfelt 'thank you' when shared. Can be had free or for a price. Cools tempers. Soothens whimpers. Dissolves anger. Has countless fans... the eye, the throat, the head, the tongue, the hands and feet included. Could be the instigator of fun, sad, exasperating or irritable moments. Can be the focal point on many a table, A mounting challenge in several localities. Tastes extra special after a struggle to get it. A must have companion, whom children have always loved down the ages. A clue... look in your bags. Water

A never ending cry

Under the blazing heat of the fiery sun, many green hands are calling... to assuage their thirst. A part of our tradition: Sharing the water we have. Water Series: 1

Amazement

Image
An arrangement, a structure, a pattern, a rhythm, a flow, a presence, a  variation, all the above, paired with a glowing yellow colour, that vies with the sun, for the pedestal of brilliance. Nature strikes it rich ... when it comes to levels of amazement.

A weaving class

The mango tree beckons... The flowers...aplenty. The leaves...many luxuriant layers. The stem... solid. The shade is inviting and a small someone, enamoured by such attractive prospects, has decided to call it a home. An ongoing  spinning class by a master weaver. Nature's exhibition stall is up...anytime, anyplace.
