The Gift of Nature

The lush green trees

They stand tall and proud

The almond shaped leaves

They whisper, they swish with the music of the winds

The fragrance of wet mud

It’s earthy, it’s rustic

The mighty tides of the sea

They go high; they go low, just like various phases of life

The sound of chirping birds

It’s happy, it’s melodious

The colourful flowers

Blushing pink, calm lavender and radiant yellow

They are vibrant; they are effervescent, never failing to bring a smile on the face

Such is the beauty of Mother Nature

This precious gift should not be wasted but be embraced

A feeling of peace is what one gets when he/she is close to nature. A very common example that each one of us must have experienced is that a tree’s cool shade always brings respite on a hot summer day. Walking at the beach or on the grass bare feet is unique and incomparable to a walk on the road with the shoes on. The gift of nature is very special and thanks to my parents who have inculcated in me a sense befriending that gift from the early days.

mane tale

The song Bad Day by Daniel Powter is usually on my mind and my lips when I face the “mane” crisis (read: a bad hair day). Most of us face the “crazy hair” problem at least twice a week if not more. An unruly mane can turn your life into your worst nightmare. 

happy realisation

I was about to turn 24 when my parents started looking for an eligible match for me. Like every single girl I was enjoying a carefree life and was reluctant to give in to the idea of marriage; however I said yes thinking that it will take at least one year to find the right match for me (you know how these things take time). Little did I know that when things are meant to happen they can happen in less than a month’s time.

zoya the explorer

BANG! BANG! BANG!

zoya opened her eyes while still laying in bed. she stared at the damp ceiling for a few seconds to come back to her senses from the deep silent peaceful slumber. the moment she reconciled her thoughts she heard the door bang again.

my most beautiful woman

i look fat. i have a crooked nose. my thighs are so big. my lips are huge. this post will not be enough when it comes to counting peripheral imperfections. but then the question is: who is perfect? and the answer: none of us. no matter how pretty the world thinks we are, we will still find an imperfection in ourselves.

the point here is that we will never be satisfied with how we look. it is very important for us to understand the difference between looks and personality. you might come across as the best person in the room even though you might not be the most beautiful one in there. external beauty is secondary, the real beauty lies in what you do. the real charm is reflected through your deeds, through your work and kind of person you are at heart.

creating happy travellers

a holiday or a vacation to me is not just about the place you visit. it is an overall experience that starts from planning the trip (deciding the dates, choosing the destination, the mode of transport and the accommodation) continues through the journey you make, carries on while enjoying quality time with the loved ones and ends finally once you reach back home. when i read about the "creating happy travellers" contest on indiblogger, i knew just the right place on this planet to create that sort of an experience;dehradun.
