Owl on my balcony!

My obsession with owls and photography continues. Here is a picture of one of my favourite diffusers at home. I tried my hand at a little bokeh effect. 

Home Sweet Home

Some new things I added to the living room of my house recently.

Happy Gudi Padwa (New Year)

Today is 'Gudi Padwa', the Marathi New Year. This day is celebrated on Shuddha Pratipada, the first day in the Hindu month of Chaitra (March-April). Festivities of Gudi Padwa lasts for three and a half days. The word 'padwa' means the end of one harvesting season and beginning of another. According to Brahma Purana, Gudi Padwa is the day on which universe was created by Lord Brahma and Satyug began.

The photograph is of the building of our new flat in Gurgaon. I thought ushering in the New Year with the photo of the new home would be a good idea.

A Happy Gudi Padwa (New Year) to all!

Laxmi Narayan Temple

This is the Laxmi Narayan Temple, walking distance from my house. This is the first place that most guests coming from outside Delhi to my place, want to visit. Its easy being a host if such a beautiful temple is located at the vicinity. I could click only the building since photography is banned inside the temple. Visiting temples is something that Indians do at all possible occasions. I will soon be taking Akshat, my younger brother to this wonderful temple as he is on the threshold of giving one of the most important exams of his life.. the 10th standard boards. Please wish him all the luck.

“Home is an invention on which no one has yet improved.”

I prescribe to the quote with all my heart. This is a little peak into my home. This is the Ganesh Idol that sits pretty in one corner of my living room. Some flowers and a big greeting card that I had given my mother on her 50th birthday.

I must confess that I am posting a photo of my favourite corner in the house... because I have run out of my bank of Delhi photos and work at the moment is keeping me away from seeing my lovely city in daylight.

Would hope to appease my boss soon to remedy the situation at the earliest. Till then home you get to spend more time at home as compared to poor lil me. :-)
