Random 27: Revealing

Revealing–

I can be a pillow, shed a tear or two in pain.

I can be a gentle breeze, feel happy in vain.

I offer you my shoulder to lean.

But

I refuse being

part of the crowd,

just a cheerleader.

बहारों में मैंने उसका साथ छोड़ दिया

Do I have a macro lens?

Do I have a tripod?

Let’s rejoice in little achievements.

माँ ने इक उम्र पति के ऐबों को छुपाते गुज़ार दी,

बेटियाँ अपना पति अपने पिता की तरह “perfect” नहीं,

इस एहसास-ए-कमतरी में गुज़ार रही हैं।

P.S. This morning I saw water droplets at the end of the pothos leaves, which is also called guttation. That happens through water glands or hydathodes on the tip of the pothos leaf, which release the water.

Random 23: Click

Take time to assess.

The foreground and background.

Before you press click.

And accept a thought.

Life in Colour: White

Random 22: Perspective

A tiny drop or two.

Shining with beauty.

The leftover from

morning rains.

Ordinary for many.

Little miracles

go unnoticed.

But not these.

My everyday adventures.

Random 21: Trickle

A new adventure.

Container gardening.

Dirty hands.

A happy soul.

Leaf bud emerging.

Showing hope.

Tendrils trickle gently.

Stabalise the “not so” tiny plants.

Climb for support.

Each new day shows the essence of our bonding.

We are growing together 😊

A beautiful deciduous Azalea Soir de Paris, my most delicate and scented purplish pink flowers with an orange blotch and darker lines are blooming happily. We enjoy the scent even on the terrace. Life is beautiful 😊
