Flowers bloom
And likewise,
Everything has turned beautiful
All around me...

My new house
Is like a flower in bloom...
I touch it
And it opens up
Into secrets and mysteries
Yet to be built up
In its walls and cabinets
In its corners and drawers
In the pictures yet to be hung
In the mirrors reflecting...

I am revelling in it
And it talks to me.

We are very busy
Preparing for reno
Of our old new house
And I am loving it!

Then comes the vacation-
We will see new countries
In Europe
And I am immensely excited!

Then we go to India
Meet relatives, friends
Exchange news...
It is that warm feeling...

Then we come back
And move into
Our new home
And be with you all
Once again...

Can life
Be better than this?

What are your rainbows?

Days are sweet
With an interplay
Of sun and clouds...

Nights are beautiful
With the super moon
And moonlight...

TV is disturbing
But music is soothing.
Listen to more music.

Winter is approaching
But there is Christmas
At its wake!
So stay cheerful!

We have travels in front of us...
Feeling excited about it
But will miss home
And all of you...

But I will only be gone for a month.
So let us rock on!

The sun did come up bright today
After the dark election
And we did go grocery shopping...

Though it rained
The immediate day
Next to the announcement
Of the results...
God was sad too...

The baton has been passed on
And let us see
How well he runs...

Be alert
And keep smiling
The world is not
Coming to an end...

Be ready to voice your opinions
On whatever happens
Now onwards...
Do not cry.

God is listening
And everything
Will gradually
Turn okay.

The painting thing
Did not happen
And I was in tears...

Life goes on
You have to try harder...

Have not been able to
Resume my biking lessons
After the fall
And I am feeling bad about it...

Life goes on
You have to try harder...

The days are so beautiful
You simply have to smile
And think of the good things
That are also happening...

You have to smile
And acknowledge
That God is working full time...

And keep moving on!

Today is a day
Full of expectations-
I am expecting news
Regarding my paintings...!

My singing
Is going on okay
So is my writing,
As you know...

Life is full
And will be fuller
Come December
When we will get possession
Of our new house...

I am overcoming
Hurts and obstacles...

God did drop
That flower petal
On my head!

Life is going on
At its usual pace

With great promises
Of a golden future
The foundations of which
Are getting laid...

Some near ones arriving
To start the process
Flowers blooming in hordes
In my garden...

The days sunny,happy,
And me excited at times,
And content at others!

Has the storm passed over?
