sun, sand and the calm...

We are just back from a long weekend trip to coastal karnataka.
Lovely vacation with ~

* trips to the local temples
* lazying around in our tents
* long walks on the beaches
* collecting shells & pebbles
* building sand castles with my daughter
* watching the sunset
* the warm waves beating against my feet
* sweet fragrance of the cashew fruit
* rendezvous with the fisherwoman
* playing ball with the two very friendly labradors. All these simple activities put things back in perspective. Making grand plans for the future, the stress of daily city life just melts away and what remains is NOW. Just enjoying the present...

Colour, Smell & Taste.

A Melon is a delight to the senses. The sweet smell of musk melon, the refreshing taste and the colour is a great way to start the day.We are off for the long weekend of Ugadi festival. Will see you next week. Enjoy Summer!

:::Summer is here:::

*Mornings are beautiful.

*The cuckoos have started clearing their throats.

*Washed clothes come back crisp after drying out in the sun.

*Melons have started flooding the markets.

*The schools are going to close for summer vacations in few weeks time.
