In Mumbai…………………….. Loved to see this 1 paper 6 pair of eyes glued to it……………………

On a beautiful day, at the most beautiful location of Lonavla……………………………..

This pic I clicked within the campus of my office. A water bottle on top of water extinguisher…………….

It is always darkest just before the Day dawneth…………

THE SILHOUETTE

I wake and wipe the sleep from my eyes
Through blurred vision I see your silhouette
Standing in the open balcony doorway
Soft tufts of hair bouncing in the breeze
Morning sunlight glimmers
Off the bulge of your chest
casting even larger shadows
on the bedroom floor.
I stretch and rise, and sitting tall in my bed
Feeling the gentle morning breeze caress my face
While songbirds sing their morning serenade
Your scent fills my senses
Oh how it lights my soul with desire
How I long for you to hold me
How I need to feel your touch
How I need to hear your voice calling out my name
While gentle arms hold me close to your beating heart
I step from my bed
And turn to face the world
Anticipating the delight
Of yet another glimpse of your form
But the door stands vacant
Curtains blowing soft and free in the breeze
How empty is my heart, how lonely is my soul
For these shadows, these illusions of you
Now swept away without a sound
Are those I hold only in memory
Gathered long before you and I did part
Lost forever except deep within my heart.

Location is Bandhavgarh Jungle of Madhya Pradesh in March………. The tree is a victim of Killer Viper Tree. The specialty of Killer Viper tree is, it kills trees by climbing on them. It’s a villain of jungle & green world.

 Wow! Mouthwatering “Rassagulla’s”. There is this particular place called “PAHALA” In Orissa where they prepare amazing rassagulla. Anyone who has ever got a chance to travel from Cuttack to Bhubaneswar must have at least once stopped to have it….. To know the difference in taste between the generally available rassagula’s & this one you will have to have it once…………

This is one of those pictures which I clicked on my trip to the Fort in Bandhavgarh. In this picture the cave is the nest of Serpent Eagle and there is a newborn inside. The guide provided us with quite a lot of information about the nature of this bird Since they are scavengers they help in cleaning the jungle of all the rotten and dead stuff without delay. The first few days of the young ones after hatching are spent under the protection of the parents. The feathers start appearing after 21 days. By one month, almost the whole body of the chicks gets covered with feathers and they are able to stand independently. The first flight is taken only after crossing two months of age. Crested Serpent Eagle is a solitary creature, found occupying the same territorial boundaries for years.

Rose Blush

Blush, Rose, blush,
a tingle at my tender touch.
The passion and desire are much too much,
blush, Rose, blush.

Our first date was more than I ever dreamed,
the flash of teeth and brilliant smile.
By dessert, your green eyes sparkle at my guile,
and my doubts about you’re wanting me were eased.

Blush, Rose, blush,
a tingle at my tender touch,
The passion and desire are much too much,
blush, Rose, Blush.

Hand in hand, as we walk though the night,
a sure feeling that this is right.
so strong and sure, the thought,
that you could be the one… maybe not?

Blush, Rose, blush,
a tingle at my tender touch.
The passion and desire are much too much,
blush, Rose, blush.

Time passes and the feeling grows,
I confess the love from my heart, I know.
Barriers down, my soul exposed, released,
the pent up passion is finally eased.

Blush, Rose, Blush,
A tingle at my tender touch,
The passion and desire are much, too much,
Blush, Rose, blush,

Blush, Rose, blush,
I tingle at your tender touch.
The passion and desire are not too much,
blush, Rose, blush.

A droplet of rain
On the shoulder of the wind
Is lost in a big desert
A droplet with no wishes
Why no grass why no trees

He has God in his watery heart
Talking to him all the time
No water no food
I want none of them I’ll prove

He starts crying
And then
His tears water the ground
And the first flower grows

Something that only a red heart can hear
Is coming down to the desert
Droplet heard it with his heart

A droplet falls in his hand
O, its raining
Thank you my only God
Soon the grass grow
And a bird song is loud

A little village
Full of big wishes
No need to wish
Just want it
From the bottom of your heart
