Last week went by so fast

I am showcasing some perfect moments in my imperfect life. Last week was dedicated to preparations and presentations besides travelling. At times we pour our heart to fulfill a task but at the end we are not satisfied with our own efforts. Let our dissatisfaction be positive and let it motivates us to turn a dream into reality.

Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure. Paulo Coelho

I didn’t manage a single walk in the last week and photo walks were quite out of question. I know it sounds funny but the weather didn’t help either. The images in the post were taken while travelling.

Festival of leaves

Six Word Saturday

Witnessing Autumn

On By RupaliIn Festival of leaves, Monday Walk51 Comments

Today was one of the best days to observe the gradual “changing of the guard colours” in the vicinity. A day off would have been good but 2 hours break in the middle of the day was also a blessing. We took a walk looking for the first beautiful leaf then the next and the next.

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. – Lao Tzu 

Search begins at home

We all live amidst various kinds of responsibilities or pressures. Some of our choices and some which are thrust upon us. Do you remember a lesson in physics on electric circuits, series and parallel? It’s better to have parallel circuits in real life. It would be impossible to live a happy and contended life if all events in our lives are connected in series. To cut the story short, we decided to go out and enjoy our “we time” in nature in spite of our current circumstances. You may find it strange but we plan and change our activities according to the weather forecast 😀

Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.~ Thich Nhat Hanh

We are happy and satisfied today. Hope you enjoy your day too.
