Love You Always

In summertime, our love is delicate, like a dandelion skimming in the breeze.
In wintertime, our love is warm — it raises from warm hands to your comfortable arms.

If skies are blue, our love is true— two people falling, galloping in the sun.
If thunder rolls our love is blessed, a refuge from the evading, meandering, closing rain.

When spring blossoms sprout, our love is strong, like color of love petals on the orchids.
When autumn leaves fall, our love is gold, shining bright like a harvest sunrise, sunflower, meadows and green grass, .

For all seasons our love will keep on being delightful and loaded with recollections.
From season to season I cherish you always! My one, my only, my love muffins.

Whispering Woods

Can such rising hoods and sobbing skies

Drop out without his exist?

Of water and fire

Of sky and earth

Of birth and death

When the door of truth is right,

All components of satisfaction and distress are replied

Beguiling the ocean and mixing the sky sets

No, those are all bluffs

Since each man along these lines may whisper in the woods,

Tend to hysteria, upon to vanish in itself

8 Things everybody should know leaves the rest behind

The top considerations that somebody can without much of a stretch overlook could by and large be expressed as

1. The most effective method to act with everybody – Simple human conduct which a large portion of the folks ignore, carrying his tongue and yapping, hollering it in superfluous situations.
2. Dress fittingly according to the circumstance – Its a memorial service and you see somebody dressed dazzlingly.
3. Effective communication – Speak up and talk right!
4. General Knowledge & Current affairs- This subject is assimilated upon us since school. However numerous neglect to notice one such easy question ?
5. Kitchen ingredients – On a lighter note, know where all the kitchen ingredients are put away, in times of crisis you can cook something.
6. Kindly bear in mind – Each one has his own particular share of issues, don’t throw yours to them. Half of the general population won’t hear you , the other half will giggle at you.
7. Nobody is a scholar in each subject. Try not to scrutinize. Acknowledge on the grounds that somebody attempted.

8. Never forget, there is somebody more noteworthy above you. BE HUMBLE.

I am sharing some photos altered using the app. This app creates some brushed looks of the pictures captured via a generic camera or taken one using the app itself. The best thing is choosing the right artistic filter for the appropriate picture.

The pictures are not less than a painting!!!!

3 Funny Things That Happen Only In Serials

As a youngster, when I initially started watching one of the daily soaps, I used to ponder, how much time do tele specialists require to spruce up, wear substantial adornments, apply layers of cosmetics and after that rest in the same ensemble, get up the following morning and figure out how to have a striking resemblance. How frequently do they change into another ensemble immediately, when do they eat, supper, utilize washrooms, bathe and stuff, go to class, school. At that point a major voice expressed “That is behind the scenes”… Why might you need to see somebody eating and washing in a serial?.

Cooking was an immense subject of discourse in a whole scene, “Aaj khane me kya banaye? Bhendi to nahi hai aur mummy ji ko wohi pasand hai, Hey Bhagwan…kaun layega sabji”, a gigantic issue!!! The entire house can go crazy. “Tumari pasand ka Gajar ka halwa banaya hai”, Its a national sweet dish you see.

All the more precisely, one of the serials first scene began with strained guardians finding a flawless match for proposition gatherings, dismissals, kundali matching to couples initial talks, shy smiles, roses, gifts,long drives,engagement to wedding ceremonies dragged for a complete year.

Well, funny incidents happen only in TV serials and some are hilarious and here are those

1. Escapism
When you watch a character talking on telephone and all of a sudden she says “baad me baat karti hu”. Seriously?? When you would prefer not to talk why do you need to call or receive one? That’s the priority she is picking.

2. Vamp like makeup
Why are all woman reprobates dressed so irregular and get perceived even from a distance, her character is with an aphorism to wreck an ecstatic family. Dreadful sound impacts at whatever point she shows up on screen. Yes, you more likely have heard the same “Kamolika, Mohini”. The custom-made sari blouse, rainbow hued eye shadows, additional long bindis, dark lipsticks keeping in mind this woman hears every one of the discussions stealthily in the house.

3. Talking to self
This procedure mends self comprehension, and hunting down internal identity in the meantime asking few inquiries to yourself? Characters in serials, converse with themselves so uproarious that neighbors can hear as well. I once discovered my flat mate conversing with herself and her face was sufficiently freaky to unnerve the hell-fire out of me. I was confounded and asked “Are you distraught, whom are you conversing with ??” Silence wrapped…

It so happened one day, we were sitting unobtrusively in a room, every one was doing his own particular thing, charmed. My fantastic grand mother started a discussion about Gowri. Her folks had come to take her along as her significant other sent her away. Confused?? Who Gowri?? May be some far off relative, murmurs following a moment, she was whining about the fundamental protagonist of a serial who left her home and was gotten back to by her significant other. Statures of involvement!! All burst out chuckling.

Recently, one of the leads from a TV soap visited a women association for Stri Vikas program. Luckily, she was recognized by couple of spectators outside. One of the elderly individuals began hollering “Why do you wear such moderate garments when you look so sober in serial(complete conventional clothing), you are the perfect bahu, the key individual who tackles everybody’s issues, try not to wear such pieces of clothing (evening gown) and hair let down”. The youthful actress was sufficiently unassuming to answer “its a serial look Amma”. Dead air!

On a genuine note, watching “Friends”, I realized, everybody is so mentally caught up in something and no one responds. These buddies meet over and over, are glad, drink, move and are engaging.

If real life is like this soapy affair:)

Silent Rays

Setting sun reposes and hides its blissful rays

Its fading glaze like a line of swordplay’s

The nights complementing when suns away

My heart melts in the allure till the dawn of the day

you are mine

I desire your diligence

I dive in your pool of thoughts

I crave for your colored soul

I emulate your reflection

I notice your fondness

I long for your love

I urge to see you smile

I read your twinkling eyes

And that says you are mine

Gokarna – Tranquillity redefined

Om Namah Shivaya Namah Om was the ditty recited by couple of nonnatives at Cafe 1987, resort situated at the slope top of Kudle shoreline, as we headed inside to fill our bottomless pit. A place with great seating course of action with cushions and beddings on the floor, high quality paper lanterns, colossal Graffiti painted in fall hues with shower paints “There is no way to Happiness.. Happiness is the way“, some little earthen pots with therapeutic herbs and an adorable establishment of Shiva Lingaa in the corner perfumed with incense sticks and little Diya’s looked delightful.

Mythology says “Ruler Ravana was once honored with divine Atma Lingaa when he impressed Lord Shiva by his profound supplications towards Lord Shiva. Amid Ravana’s visit back to Lanka, he ended on the ocean shore to perform sandhya vandane(evening supplications), while he gave the Atma Lingaa to Lord Ganapati who camouflaged as a Brahmin and hence Lord Ganapati set the Lingaa on the ground established when Ravana did not return promptly and in this way every one of the forces of the Lingaa were lost. In anger, Ravana attempted to haul out the Lingaa from the beginning, an outcome it de-formed and broke into a few pieces. Ravana tossed these pieces in various headings” and hence one such place is Gokarn, which means Cows Ear in Karnataka.

Surprisingly, most of the visitors I met were from Germany, Spain, Italy and South America who visit India during winter to learn Vedic chants, Yoga, Sun salutation, Meditation, Reiki, Iyengar Yoga and more.

Kudle beach – accessible by walk or rickshaw from Gokarn city, one of the most popular beaches, is where we rented a beautiful cottage at Namastey holiday homes. I believe everyone here acknowledges a Namastey instead of a Hello and are so friendly, serving every dish made with sanctity. Nearly 13 restaurants serving Italian, Caribbean, Mexican, Goan, South Indian food nearby. Precisely inferring what each recipe is made of like Upma made with Semolina. We spent our first day relaxing around the beach, we were lucky to grab enough of Mexican food and of course mouth-watering Gobi Manchuria.

Kudle beach is steep and is dangerous for diving. In spite of the warning signs people have lost lives swimming here. However, we decided to settle back and breathe easy, unwind and rest.

(my shot at the beach)

Nearby young ladies accumulated around each nonnative, to offer fake stone gems. I welcome that these explorers do purchase the stuff as souvenirs every costing Re/ – 200-500. Somehow, I felt the costs of pieces of jewelry, key chains were too high and how these outcasts get hoodwinked. Listening to one of their discussions, the young lady said, she makes a trip each day to the shoreline to sell her gems and she knows how to make them by hand consummately. In the event that, we need to get it changed she will supplant. This young lady was offered a container of Sprite from one Italian person. He was informing her concerning his home in Alps. He likewise purchased a neck piece for his better half and was inquiring as to whether his decision was adequate. The young lady was feeling great inside the Hotel far from scorching beams. Of course, the nearby servers were eve prodding these young ladies. Tragically these young ladies have stopped tutoring and are bringing home the bacon by offering stone gems. I was peaceful perplexed on the measure of information they share naming every stone, which I scarcely penned down. Topaz, and some high review gems. I got two neck pieces as well!! J For Re/ – 100. The young ladies tongue was Gujarati, she talked great English, Hindi and Kannada.

Strolling ahead, after a flavorful feast at the Sunrise Café, we moved to the swimming pool of our resort. 4 section of land is changed over to wonderful slope see cottage homes. We met numerous individuals who were meditating Om Namaha Shivay and were occupied with moving to psychedelic music. They wore orange clothing; a Lungi and Shailya on the shoulders and tangled hair or Jatha/dreadlocks which is an image of Shiva’s streaming locks. Generally, voyagers/hippies or even Reggae inspired individuals wear Jatha in a twisted bunch or bundle on top of the head. The strands are rubbed with ashes and dairy animals manure, considered both sacrosanct and purifying, then scented and decorated with blooms or beads. All things considered, numerous styles and techniques including this.

(my shot inside the resort)

Hallucinogenic music “psychedelia” one kind of genre is heard all around. Standing between music lines, I watched Om being spread in all tunes. This prompting Psychedelic deep sense of being includes any sort of altered state (ritualistic or not) that by one means or another places you in contact with a persistent journey for God. A delightful lady from Romania was moving and it could recount to us one story that she fancied herself as one of the solid associations she made in looking and raising with God. I would not say much on that in the event that she could have galvanized with any psychedelic pill. Bewildering however, as I was a long ways past the creative ability of the possibility that these explorers are enlivened by our way of life, yet have not pulled back from banned recreational exercises. This woman wore a long skirt, secured herself with a scarf, a bindi on her brow, anklet, bangles, and tangled hair. She looked pretty and her creative abilities were told on the paper independent from anyone else, when she rapidly drew a geometric outline and raced to stick it on the bistro dividers. All were stunned. 🙂

The following day we enlisted an auto to explore OM beach. As we climbed the foothill, the shoreline look deserted. I was confounded when I assessed the shape of OM. No inquiries for the sensational Gods creation. We can plainly make out the profundity of the shore, bedraggled than Kudle shoreline and very few diner spots to chill. We addressed the neighborhood boat proprietors who showed us a good time at Rs/ – 1600 to Half-Moon beach, Paradise beach, the light house and returning to Kudle beach. We located couple of dolphins seizing little separation from the shore, striking it rich we envisioned them swinging like a snake.

As we reached our cottage, we met our neighbor, an elderly lady in her 50’s who was in  India for the fourth time. After learning Massage and Spa benefits from a Pune centre she was here to learn Iyengar Yoga in Gokarn. It is chiefly Hatha Yoga and spotlights on alignment of physical body parts managing diverse Asanas and 14 Pranayam methods. How would you feel when a outsider educates you such variety of things concerning your nation which you dint know?? This old lady is a Yoga instructor in Madrid, Spain and conducts classes 3 days a week. She told us why she was impacted by Hinduism and trusts “God is all over the place” and feels glad to discover God inside ourselves. Droning Om Namah Shivay each morning, working out, going to Yoga classes at the resort and was all solidness and generous sitting tight for her girl to reach India, and was excited to visit Hampi, Ajanta, Ellora and Cochin all in just 17 days. Truth be told, we guided about her next goal Goa, Mumbai and spots she ought to feast and living. My significant other demonstrated her few photographs he shot in Hampi. The woman couldn’t trust her eyes. She was super eager to visit one of the best verifiable places in India. She was talking in her Spanglish highlight, I wanted to hear increasingly.

I constrained her to try “Pani puri”. She scribbled the name in her iPad storyboard, where she had gathered few names of vegetable recipes she savored in Pune. She was curious to know more stories and history identifying with Gokarn, Kanyakumari, Rameshwaram as well. I was so happy to describe it to her. She was awe-inspired and communicated to make it on her next rundown. I exhorted her to visit some well known strongholds and royal residences. I was grinning wide, when my significant other uncovered how he was roused by the motion picture “Zindagi na milegi dobara”. The majority of the taping was shot in Spain. Exacting interpretation of the motion picture name was entertaining. “You won’t get another life” and she was flying high to hear we knew such a great amount about her nation. The conventional Pamplona’s Running of the bulls, Scuba diving in Costa Brava, Bungee bouncing in Barcelona, Skydiving in Seville Andalucia, La Tomatina celebration in Valencia, Flamenco dance form – a honest to goodness Spanish art, and to be more exact a bona fide Southern Spanish craftsmanship. Existing in three structures Cante, the song, Baile, the move, and Guitarra, guitar playing…I additionally talked about my exhibitions in one of the shows, singing a Spanish melody Asereje. She was transfixed. Danza Kuduro, a Spanish/Portuguese tune, splendid foot tapping move number. It was a greater amount of an Ind-Western social trade program-me for us.

Lastly to say, the café holds various western musical instruments like

Didgeridoo, aboriginal hardwood instrument from Australia and is mainly available in Rishikesh,India. Watch here, our friend playing it brilliantly Didgeridoo

A cajón is nominally a six-sided, box-shaped percussion instrument originally from Peru, played by slapping the front or rear faces with the hands, fingers, or sometimes assorted implements such as brushes, mallets, or sticks.

I proudly say, I played few beats perfectly.

A djembe or jembe is a rope-tuned skin-covered goblet drum played with bare hands, originally from West Africa. There are daily bhajans and jamming sessions crooning Shiva strotams. Travelers find it easy and eager to learn and spread knowledge about Hinduism, worshiping Bholenath. (Hymn).. so musical.

Numerous travelers regard our way of life, have faith in Vedic serenades, take after our customs and dress so straightforward. They acknowledge Indian established music and need to spread Hindu culture which the majority of our Indians have overlooked. I was stunned when an European was filling in as low maintenance server and amid his leisure time was reciting shlokas like no other pundit.

One Italian lady revealed how she was feeling protected and secure living in India. Her 2 year old charming child was circling the bistro and was interfacing with the majority of the general population. He communicated in Italian but then would attach well. That is the dialect kids talk. His mom was snooping on my dish and was interested to recognize what I was having for breakfast and lunch. I prompted her to attempt some great formulas on the menu, not at all like she was fasting on servings of mixed greens and her child was getting a charge out of vanilla frozen yogurt regular.

At long last, we said farewell to every one of them and educated to be back following 6 months for another sedating scene of social trade, tranquilizing episode of warmth, sharing thoughts, making companions, getting some outside air, watching the beautiful excellence of Gokarn, crunching best Vegan cooking styles and more J

A foreign exchange program-me justified, despite all the trouble, truly an eye-opener stumble on an alternate note. Meeting new individuals, communicating and guiding about India and I can even now hear the Om reverberating in my ears.

A memory worth embracing and we are re-living each moment exquisitely.

Funny OneLiners

Bangalore has been worst hit by traffic, commuters across the city speeding from east to west, north to south continue honking and finally reach at a signal which takes more than 20 minutes to cross. I am bored, exasperated, tired, drenched sometimes. But at times, its worth giggling, reading these lines stuck on the rear window of vehicles.

Smirking LOL..
