this and that .........front park
....foggy cold mornings,beautiful and still, the fog hung
around most of the day.......I thought it made the garden look quite
fairytale-like.....
....the sun eventually came out late in the day, I love late afternoon light, it was a gorgeous day.
Fabric basket
several uses: made
with my salwar suit
Hello
friends, as I said I lost my dear
mom this month. I used to do something every minute ……….I can ..of course to
keep me busy .otherwise I got lost in the memories of my mom…………I did some jobs ……
I’ll
show you later on …….. and
Posting to this. Here the basket to show
to get what I want.
In this case guava’s in this basket.
Two
things encountered:
Our front yard is not very large, where the we the residents keep the plant in the corner,keep our scooter, motorcycle, keep some chairs and table to sit in the sun ,lay charpoy to dry our grains etc.etc..
Yesterday cleaning my back yard and kitchen island the stand of the fridge and a big tub ended up being withdrawn from the list.
We took the fridge stand to place the tub with plants in it.
There they have been for many weeks.
Kisses with all my love.
Front Park
Every morning while going for walking in the Ekta park (a big park 1km away from our house) I usually took pictures of the park(adjacent our house) these are some of them
Today too on the way to walk, I had stopped to take these two pictures. There are hundreds and hundreds of trees being planted around the parks. If you are the one who know me since a few years back, you might be knowing “I have a dream for the parks to be filled with the trees, I want the colonies around the parks to be filled with trees, I want the city to also look green
Today walking around on the jogging track, I felt tearful, as I saw all the tracks in the park being planted with trees.(do you notice the symbolism and metaphor of planting a tree?).As I stopped to take the pictures, I wanted to get in the park and actually trans plant my Champa which I think my pot is too small for this plant to nurture. I can’t wait until it will develop into a big tree there, with its large branches and green leaves swaying the air, giving shadow to the jogging tracks and the smell of flowers like heavan.
I feel so humbled to sleep tonight and know that probably over a thousand trees were planted in my city today. You may find this rather ridiculous of me, but every tree planted for me gives a meaning of growth, of hope, of security. Every tree, to me, is a sign of the people’s dedication to the development of this nation, it symbolizes optimism and aspiration. More importantly, it shows the way we think of tomorrow. We are a nation where Trees are a national asset.
All pictures are taken by me only, I apologize if they aren’t clear. It’s basically daily life in my city captured by the lens of my Samsung mobile with a 3.2 mega pixels.I am intended to buy a digital camera very soon.

Knitting at the dawn,Weather this month
Here I am knitted my shawl that was
up on needles since 2011.
else in the house – knitting a lacy shawl. I’m feeling as though getting
up early to knit this lace is the best thing that I could be doing right at
this moment.
sitting here in the quiet knitting it is connecting me to the WHY. Why do
I love this craft so much?
here in the early dawn light knitting this simple project and meditate a little
bit. Soak up some quiet, get my hands moving in the dance that they love
so much. Later I’ll go to morning walk and get the rest of me moving, but
for right now – this is enough.
piece will need to be stopped, I’ll need to think about a little bit of math while
doing its edgings for two long sides and to make
pretty tussles for the narrow sides.
Knit knit – yo yo. Knit knit – yo yo .

fog due to icing rain at Hisar the previous day |
I’m up early today – before anyone
Even though it’s just simple lace –
Today I love it because I can sit
Eventually, my lace-knit rectangular
But for now- it’s so simple.
There’s a joy in my chest.
Weather this month
In late January 2014, an intense cold surge
swept across northern India, bringing bitterly cold weather to Hisar. The
minimum temperature at the Observatory on 24 January was only 3.1 degrees, the
lowest record since 1957. Very rare phenomena of cold and icing winds with ice pellets also occurred
in Hisar that day, attracted a lot of interest from the media and the public,
especially on different types of winter precipitation. There were quite some
discussions on "mix of rain and ice pellets" and "mix of rain
and small ice balls".

MOM
I lost my mom and best friend on 9th
of this year THE 2014. My dad had died seven years before and I missed him but
stayed strong for mum. I know she was in her eighties but she was doing good.
When she went into hospital in April 2013 (here and here
) i never crossed my mind i would lose
her, after 15 days the Dr said she was well enough to come home. I had
everything ready for her. Made her bedroom at our home where she would stay.
Since then I was nurse to my mom. I had to help her for everything she needed
for life. Although
after hospitalization her health had deteriorated I never once thought she was
dying. I feel so guilty and stupid for not knowing. She had cold before
she went back to her beloved home. I was feeding her and kissed her and said i
loved her. During gulping a spoon full of some gruel for lunch she passed away in front of me. My
world crashed. I have two grown up children, and a cute niece living with me. But all of them are younger ones. What and how could I carry on without my mum
by my side?
14 days has gone on but I am no better. I think about her constantly and miss her every hour of every day. Each day I cry. I will never get over it. I try to move on but she was the lady who would hug me, kiss me and tell me it will be ok.
