Unveil the Other Side

Interesting are the natural mirrors we find around. A pond or a lake is a best example for one such natural mirror. They reflect and at the same time enhance the natural beauty. The capture here does not do enough justice to what I saw bare eyes. However the theme demands a reflection and  here is mine.

Its time for Bangalore Flower-show . With less than a week for the Republic Day celebrations, Botanical Garden - Lal Bagh, Bangalore's pride is brimming with bright colors and lovely flowers. The uniqueness and the creativity is mainly what that gets me here, show after show. Eiffel tower made of a mix of Deep-Red and pearl white roses is a visual treat. To mark 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda a life-like statue carved out of stone is placed amidst the flowers in the glass house. A simple set-up of the famous Ooty Garden that infuse the flower-power magic in shades of bright yellow, orange to pale green , blue to deep red is one thing I did get attracted to. A Giant Barbie Doll [Giant in the real sense] stands right up in the middle of the glass house. She is covered with a floral dress made of Red anthuriums and White roses/carnations . A fresh morning stroll coupled with a bit of DSLR exploring made my weekend a great one. ...

It was the penultimate day of 2012. I was not sure if the Annual cake show that is held every year in Bangalore was still on. I did not want to miss it not that they are exquisite or extra ordinary but I love the imagination of the innovators/creators. The zeal and enthusiasm for baking has been part of my life now. Bake a cake has become my mantra lately. So the journey began. Late in the afternoon after a quick cup of coffee, I jumped into my favorite pair of salwar kameez , favorite because it helps me bend, stretch and capture pictures the way I need them to be. It was the last day of the show and I had expected a huge crowd , long queues. On reaching the venue I noticed that the crowd was not bad though. It was a warm evening and a day before new years eve. Guess that may be a reason many opted to stay back home.Happily planning for the Big event - Welcoming 2013.   As I walked past the entry I saw a hu...

Here is another comic strip coming your way. Please bear with this one till I find something really interesting to write about.

The Christmas and New year celebrations at office lasted for about 2 weeks ranging from activities like volleyball, Box cricket to fun stalls and a fancy dress competition. The most hilarious fancy dress group themed up with " Back to School" . As the name denotes in itself we had age old jokes put forth by the students and the principal. I could not resist but put them on a comic strip . Here are the comic strips. Hope the new year fills in more smiles in your lives and make you live younger with each passing year.

Wishing all you there a very happy new year 2013. Each year brings a lot of memories with it. Hope the year passing by has left you with lots to cherish and let the one beginning in a few hours bring in all joy and happiness. The only reason people hold on to memories is because memories are the only thing that don't change when everything else does. This is my 200th post . So there is a second reason to cheer for. Happy reading and bearing with my nonsensical posts as well.:)
