A walk in fresh snow

Precipitate as weather, she appeared from somewhere, then evaporated, leaving only memory.~ Haruki Murakami

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. ~Socrates, a gas-station attendant in a book published in the 1980s by Dan Millman. 

To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake it is necessary to stand out in the cold. ~Aristotle

The art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surrounding~ Kakuzo Okakura (The Book Of Tea)

जाने अनजाने मैं  बदल गयी। 

हम सब बदलते हैं।  

कभी खुद की खातिर कभी औरों की। 

ये बदलाव एक पल में नहीं आता,

ये आता है धीरे धीरे।

बस कोशिश है की ये बदलाव 

बेहतरी के लिए हो।

Random 70: Nature holds the key

It was for the best, so Nature had no choice but to do it ~Marcus Aurelius

*****

Inspite of all the difficulties,

train your mind to enjoy serenity.

*****

खुद ज़ेहन में ये बात बिठा ली है,

परेशानी चाहे जितनी हो,  ख़ूबसूरती नज़र-अंदाज़ न होने पाए।

Silent Sunday

Random 69: Emotional influence

Excessive emotions obscure the vision.

A calm mind helps you make better decisions.

आँखों में नमी हो या जज़्बात का बहाव,

कुछ पल ठहरो फिर सफर करना। 

-रुपाली

We have continuous snow fall from yesterday evening. It looks beautiful but walking is quite an exercise. Under the fresh snow there is a layer of hard ice. Taking pictures with a camera while holding an umbrella was difficult. I do not have plastic cover for the camera. Yes and I forgot to mention my mittens 🙂. Anyways I am happy with what I got. Hope you like them too.
