Happy things.


Just close your eyes. Now.
What do you hear? What do you see? What do you feel?

* Mango trees are sprouting blooms.
* Big fat barbets are singing again.
* Some more
Malai Kulfis.
* Memories of last summer come flooding back.
* The heady fragrance of ripe juicy Mangoes.
* Corner House's
'Fig and Honey' or maybe 'Vanilla Choco Chip' ice cream.
* Glasses of
Nimboo Pani with Kala namak are guzzled in litres.
* Time for my special smoothies.
* Dreaming of summer vacations,
hey wait, I am not in school anymore.
* Flip Flops.
* Fresh flowers on the dining table.
* Change those bedspreads to pastels or floral prints.
* Fruit custard and jelly!(Childhood memories)
* Sunrays are brightening different corners.
* The roads seemed empty yesterday afternoon.
* Love green signals.
* The purple of the jacaranda trees dot the lanes.

What do you hear? What do you see? What do you feel?

the slowly getting warmer breeze thawing me
sunlight being more intense and reaching into sleepy dark corners
children in shorts and tanks
a skip in everyone's step
birds and bird calls
ice-pops and ice-pop induced stained little mouths and lips
playing outside
sitting on the porch and slurping something/anything chilled
sunsets at 8:00pm
walks, long walks

d- The brackets are custom made..it's very simple and can be replicated by any welder/carpenter.

Mallika's room is still not done. Will definitely share once we are through:-)

Sharanya- You have water lilies at home? Wow!

Nat- Welcome to my blog:-)

Vineeta- LOL:-)


Sapna, Chandan, Anil- Thanks:-))

what i meant was where did you get the angle supports for the brackets. (the brass / wrought iron / whatever metal ones). i have some myself, but since i could'nt get nice angle supports i got the brackets bolted into the walls. i wanted something similar but the hardware stores i went to had ugly gold coloured angles with elaborate designs.
