When days passed to centuries
They sing the story of an era
Mighty kings and battles fought
The glory and downfall with time
Sweat and blood shed all over
Every single stone remembers it
House of thousand souls in arms
Their carvings sharp and bright
Turned into a place for tourists
Awaiting few words of approval
Weekly photo challenge – favourite place
Her beauty untouched by time
She stands with her head high
Uncompromising on her charm
Watching the world in silence
Every single block hold a story
Of hardwork and commitment
Magnificence and exquisiteness
Steals every heart gazing at her
May her glory remain here forever
Treasuring the history and past
Hey friends,
Here is my submission for this week’s photochallenge – Silence
There is nothing beautiful than the silence of nature. Especially when you live in a city flooded with sound of traffic and people all around you and living life like a robot, these short getaways to the heart of nature where there is no intervention of humans make me feel so good. Its like rebooting myself and filling a fresh energy to push me ahead to prepare for the upcoming routine schedule.
Time stood still in a deep sorrow
My vision blocked by thick fog
Ruling out the parallel life I live
Still I feel I am locked in a cage
Eager to fly like a bird let loose
Wander away to worlds unseen
Move away from all the havocs
Snuggle in the silence of nature
I have been going through my gallery searching for a meaningful photo to submit for this week’s photo challenge and got stuck into this capture.
All those who search for the hidden meaning inside this image, I would like to suggest you to read the following poem!
They stood there divided by the river
Struggling hard to be together
Stretching its branches in full length
Leaning towards to feel the touch
Still they feel they are one soul
With the bridge connecting them
Villains are there in all love stories
Here river turned to be one
Still they waited days and months
For that precious moment to come
When their soul and body be one
And remain together forever…
Hey friends,
Here is my entry towards the Weekly Photo Challenge – Rounded
As always I am here with a capture from nature. If you look around you carefully, you can see numerous God created curves and rounds like perfectly shaped trees, curved mountains, the cluster of clouds in the sky and much more.
Though I had many captures of curved roads and other manmade structures, I made my mind to present this before you as I won’t be satisfied from within if I take one of those.
Standing on the hilltop where I grew
Looking down at the life below
The world beneath is full of colours
Smudged into numerous shapes
All I could see is hasty movements
Running straight without deviations
Sailing in vigor in the stream of time
Still the shore is just an imagination
You may say I am looking at the life
Sadly I say I couldn’t see any life…
Hey Friends,
This is my entry towards the Weekly Photo Challenge – Glow
Waves kissed by rays of sun
covering their blushing face
Eager to hold him close
His touch is all she need
Dancing around in glee
winking at the jealous sand
Splashing loudly on rocks
That is how I express myself
awaiting for that moment
when he dives into my arms
why they call it sunset
its moment of togetherness
You call me small mountains
Am I really small?
Come near and look at me
I am a mighty giant
My tone is dull, dark and black
Its not my fault
Sea and sky flashing shades
Clouds are no less
Come near and look at me
I am not less than any
Decieved by eyes and distance
I am less noticed
Games are played by illusion
Made me less obvious

Hey all,
Here I am back after a long break. I was on a vacation in Mauritius. You can see my posts on my blog soon. As of now I am here with my capture on Weekly Photo Challenge – Pedestrian.
I have been checking my gallery for an apt image on specified theme. If you have been following my blog, you might have understood by now that I am fond of nature than human life. When all the posts in the category showed human pedestrians on different places, I wanted to gently remind all my friends that there is a category of living beings who are pedestrians throughout their life.
These are a group of pedestrians I came across in Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai.
We are children of nature
Walking never tire us
When you go in vehicles
We are carried by our legs
When you ignore nature
We see their beauty
When obesity invades you
We enjoy healthy life
When you search for peace
We have it abundantly
When you mock at us
We mock at you back
When you die of illness
We face a natural death
We are proud of our life
We are the pedestrians…
I believe it is lucky to have people in your life who love you unconditionally, not expecting any favours in return, not calculating the amount of care you get back, not worried whether the other person love you the same way. In this world, where even parent’s love for their children is conditional it’s difficult to expect anyone else will do that.
When I scroll through the news headlines about mass killings, terrorism, religious riots, I wonder where humanity vanished. Is there still kindness, compassion and love in this world?
Looking at these monkeys I realised love and affection has not died totally. You can still feel it around you. Why dont humans learn from these animals. Are they portraying an example in front of us? To live a better life? To keep aside your negative human traits of jealousy, ego, anger, frustration and be happy?
I have been watching what they are doing for a while. Both of them have their babies clinging on to them. They were picking lice from each other, pampering and patting the other one’s baby. They were sitting there showering love on each other. This was an interesting sight which was actually an eye-opener too for me. They are just two she-monkeys. Still the care they show, how they pamper the other one’s baby is something we should learn from them.
When days are dark and cruel
Shadows dancing around us
Threatening to take our life
We hold on to each other
Our love brings rays of light
To brighten the darkest tunnel
Shove away evils around us
Unveiling the beauty of heart…
Pamper | The Daily Post
A house is an embodiment of lot of things. It is not just a shelter. It is the love amongst people who live in there, It is the result of our hardwork, It is the place we always want to be at the end of the day, whether we are out on our job or on vacation.
Is it just us humans who work hard to make home? I always used to wonder when I see the construction process of buildings; about the effort the workers, starting from drawing the plan till the final enhancements and furnishings. Did you ever thought friends how the animals and birds around us built their houses?
When we look around, we see pretty little nests of birds made from twigs to the small pits of ants, crabs and so on. How many of you appreciate the effort put by them? See this leaf house made by ants. The perfect symmetrical folding, the conical design and overall the elegance is worth appreciating. Hats off to those cute little souls and their excellent craftsmanship! I couldn’t stop myself from sharing this with you all. Have a nice day friends😊
Welcome to my beautiful home
Tailored with lot of hardwork
It keeps us safe under its roof
When Rain and wind compete
Isn’t ours a pretty little house
Incomparable to yours though
Its all we have to protect us
When all seasons play its part…
