Aftereffects of festive season

Festive season is always followed by illness season!

This is my status update on facebook.

Do you agree or disagree with me?

After rains.......!

After rains, I saw these two slow moving creatures.

Can you identify them? :)

Worry about my marriage????

“Can I talk to Chandrika?” The voice from other side asked.

“Yes, speaking!” I replied.

“Myself ………., your college time friend.” She said. “Wow! We are talking after 8 long years."

“Hmmm…….” I could only utter although once she was my best friend. But she cheated me just for a job as my merit was better.

“Where are you these days?” She asked excitedly.

“In Gurgaon.” I replied as coldly as possible.

“I am also working in Gurgaon and staying at Delhi with my husband and son. How many kids do you have?”

“I am single.”

“Do you know how I get married?”

“No” I was not at all interested in hearing her story yet she was keenly interested in telling.

“My brother came to know about Mr. ‘G” who was a lawyer by profession and had a hobby to help others. My brother told him about me. He expressed his worries that despite my educational qualifications, my richness and my beautiful figure I was not getting married. Mr. ‘G’ asked him to bring my nighty that I wore previous night without washing. Next time when my brother visited him, after smelling my nighty Mr. ‘G’ said that in my childhood days, my friend’s mother out of jealousy for me as I stood first in my class and her daughter could not beat me, gave me something wrong to eat whose side effects were resulting in my late marriage. Surprisingly he even correctly told the name of my that school time friend.”

“Hmm..” I was feeling bored of all these cooked up stories.

“Mr. ‘G’ told me do some prayers and charged me Rs. 7000/-. He correctly told the time of my marriage to be held. And I got married exactly on that date. Are you listening?”

“Ya.”

“Recently he told me that I will buy a house. Although I had no money still because of his blessings and prayers I bought a house in Faridabad. You must also visit him once for your marriage.”

Do you think she has become an agent of Mr. ‘G’ or she is really feeling concerned for me?

Thodo dance

On this wall, Thodo dance is depicted. (This picture is taken at Solan, Himachal Pradesh.) In this dance, archery, bows and arrows are used.

Dear readers, have you ever seen any such dance act in which weaponry is used?

Creativity is infectious!

"Wow! Chandrika, greenery at your entrance looks beautiful." My next door neighbor commented on seeing these flower pots for the first time.
"Creativity is infectious! I get this infection from you!!" I replied as she always decorated her entrance creatively.

Have you ever get this type of infection? 

Coconut ladoos with a surprise inside!

On the occasion of Rakshabandhan (A day on which sisters tie rakhi, a decorative thread on their brothers' hand and serve sweets to them whereas in return they receive gifts from their brothers), I prepared these simple and delicious coconut ladoos with a surprise inside them.

Any guess what could be the surprise?

An evening at Taj Hotel!

I was invited for dinner at Taj Palace Hotel, New Delhi. It was more of a high party then a business meeting. After some business related discussions, dinner was served. Although there was wide range of cuisines but on my plate there was only a few slices of guava and water melon. And no alcohol.

Its me simple! Its my 550th post! :)

GOD stands up?

I was doing my prayers in a temple. And I was about to move then a person, stranger to me said "You must listen to me! It is beneficial for you!!"
Out of respect, I stayed to hear him. He stopped two more persons of different age groups in the similar manner.
"When one bows his head before GOD like this." While narrating, he put his head on the slab in front of the deity. And the priest put his hands on deity's feet and then on his head, showering GOD's blessings on him.
"Then only GOD stands up to shower blessings to us. And when GOD stands up what else one wants."

Do you think it is a spiritual teaching or a mere stupid joke? 

Romance on chandelier!

What a beautifully painted ceiling and walls! And Pigeons are romancing!!

An artistic place they have selected for romancing. Haven't they?

Adventurous goat

This goat was standing on near about 12 feet high wall. How did it reach there without using these steps? 

Eco-friendly art work

While my trip to Jaipur, I clicked these pics of eco-friendly art work in which metal is molded to give different shapes. I liked them very much.

Dear readers, can you recognize all of them?
