Sawan ke Jhoole

Sawan ke Jhoole…

Come Monsoon (Sawan), the festive season of August, this yester-years make-shift wooden - rope Jhoola / Swing dangling from a robust & Sturdy branch of a Mango Tree is such a welcoming sight, reminiscent of our childhood days, when as kids we could spend hours and hours playing on the swing. Not just play, but I also remember reading n studying nestled on this big wooden swing (which could comfortably accommodate 4 kids) in our Verandah. Those were some carefree days… 

Anyways, Keep on Swinging High n Keep that Child in you active n alive. Happy Hariyali Teej! 

The World on your Palm

Go Bananas…

🍌 Yay! Seems like I have gone Bananas over my own Blog 🤗 all over again. 

        A Fruiting Banana Tree @ Our Backyard

🍌 Perfect timing though, now that I have some much needed respite & some spare time to JUST BE @ HOLIDAY MODE & linger on things & stuff I WANNA DO. Whoa! What a luxurious, serene & peaceful State of Being, after eons.

🍌 I rarely even managed to take a stroll in the kitchen Garden @ Backyard, as much as I would like to since the very onset of this year… ‘2021’ with one health issue or the other keeping me on tenterhooks 😂 

🍌Slowed down and Stranded right from the word Go! Indeed, What a Hearty Welcome to 2021 as I started the year with Back Ache in Jan, A Thumb Fracture in Feb, long haul COVID thru April - May, and POST COVID… a Double Whammy with Teeth/Sinus Infection & an ALLERGIC reaction to wrong medicine this July-Aug. 😂 Now, am Still sorting the last one out with Doctor Consultations, expensive n time consuming ‘wait n watch’ diagnostic investigations at the Hospital & being on Yucky Medications for Treatment & Relief. Yet again… How I shirk away from all of the above… and yet have to deal with it, as self inflicted repercussions. 

🍌Thanks to my own NEGLECT n no RESPECT for myself, in a dismal effort to HELP (thankless) others, taking on their Chores, their fair share of duties, happily n smilingly, in their absence or otherwise. 

🍌Hmmm…

🍌By the way, that’s quite a long list of ailments. Isn’t it?. The almost ‘PINK OF HEALTH’ 2020 but with tons n tons of additional physical work load simply took a toll when the Body probably decided to send an 🆘 meaning ‘Enough is Enough’! 

🍌Hey! Look, YOU…. Better Get your Priorities in Place & Start Taking Good Care of yourself. PERIOD.

🍌Undoubtedly, 2021 is testing my resilience & strength, time n again. But, Thank God for being Alive and just breathing, surrounded with loving, concerned people & off course, Myriad Colours of NATURE, as I look around myself, relishing the rain washed Greens, Blooming Flowers, chirping Birds, colourful Butterflies, Skirting Squirrels, & a super harvest of mixed vegetables n fruits @ backyard. Health Restoration n Rejuvenation mode on… in full swing amidst Nature. 🤗

🍌Let’s just sum up by staying Grateful n saying ‘All is Well n Good’, so long as we continue to Enjoy this roller coaster journey of Life with its UPs n DOWNs! 

Moments Frozen In Time….

🌿  The best part about pictures is that the moment is captured and frozen in time for all times to come.

🌿 I had almost forgotten about the Blog when I recently happened to post a comment on someone’s blog and instead of my name it got published with my Blog Name. 

🌿 What a pleasant feeling of reverie, reminiscing, rediscovering while browsing through your own blog and realising it’s still very much there in spite of the years that have rolled past in a blink.

🌿 A  great source of inspiration & strength as you leaf through your own posts considering the challenging CHANGES  the WORLD has been forced to adapt to for mere ‘survival of mankind’ during these last two unfathomable pandemic years of global threat to Human Race.

🌿 Wonder when we will be able to BREATHE again as freely & safely as we did back than without having to shield our faces & cover our mouth n nose with a 😷 even while at home to ensure our own safety and well being of other fellow human beings.

🌿 LIFE as we knew it, has CHANGED so drastically, rather dramatically! None could have ever envisaged that a micro organism could be a cause of such global disease n despair. 😒 

🌿 May God n Mother Nature forgive us for the misuse & unabashed destruction of her infinite resources and bounty gifts of Natural splendour all around us, we took for granted. 

🌿 Hope we all put in our best efforts to help reevaluate, reinvent & restore the balance of the environment we live in! 

🌿 Umpteen Prayers, Blessings n Best wishes, for a better tomorrow & a much safer 🌍 world 🌏 for all!

Let’s Go Green….

A Blog after Eons….

Just trying to figure out how to post a Blog all over again. Used Desktops n Laptops back than & now we can post using our Mobiles. Whoa! Technology sure is evolving n changing by leaps and bounds… We lesser mortals have to keep learning, and reinventing, embracing this CHANGE with time!

So, for starters, merely trying to post some ‘Happy-Go-Green’ Pictures from our Garden. 

🌿Verdant Greens…..

                                   🌿 Lush Greens…

🪴 If speaking  kindly to plants helps them grow imagine what speaking kindly to humans can do.🪴

🌿Soothing, refreshing, rejuvenating, energising GREENS….

🌿 The summer scorched plants appear so much more  GREENER celebrating, radiating and spreading their Happiness with the onset of Rains! 

Whoa! Adapting to a new Blogger Format all over again. 

Well… Let’s just say, Enjoyed the experience! 🪴 

Keep Enjoying the surrounding Greens 🌿 & the Rains…,
