My Paradise - 6/52

                               I don't exactly remember when I started to like reading, but I still remember a time when I said that I don't like reading. Is it the boredom that got me interest in reading? May be. For as far as I remember, music has always been my love. I always found great pleasure in listening to good music. And who would hate sinfully delicious chocolate? One can hardly come across people who don't like chocolate. And, all the three together, has always made me feel like in paradise, however bad or boring life is. And if this combo has a beach backdrop, that's it. I can get lost for days in the sounds of the serene waters and the blues of the beautiful skies. I haven't been reading or listening or eating good chocolate too, for a while. I really hope to spend some valuable time in my paradise, some time soon.
                               Here is my entry for this week's theme - "My Paradise"


Noise - 5/52

                               When I saw other kids, I always used to feel that they make a lot of noise. And I used to wonder why their parents are not irritated the way I am. My tiny sunshine makes a lot of noise too, though not as much as those irritating kids. And some other people might feel that she makes noise, just the way I thought. But to me, that is love. That is how she shows her love on me. When she is asleep, and the noise is heard nowhere, it feels empty. And I really miss her. Crazy is it?!
                                My entry for this week's theme - "Noise" - Noise to others, Love to me!


Joy - 4/52

                                 There might be so many things in life that seem to give joy. But nothing gives as much joy as your own baby. And watching your own baby's joy is much more joyful. I absolutely love this precious moment. My entry for this week's theme - "Joy"





Imperfection - 3/52

                         I did not post my pictures for 5 weeks?!! I sometimes wonder why I cannot find time. It takes only a couple of minutes. But then I have to find answers to so many questions to own those couple minutes. I do not know if it is the fear of finding the right answers, or the fear of my answers being wrong, I hold back myself from facing the questions all together. Life never seems perfect. I sometimes wonder if I should leave the imperfect things as is, and look for the perfect ones, or just try and accept the beauty of imperfection. Can imperfection be beautiful?? I wonder... But am sure, there are some things that make imperfect - Perfectly perfect. And she is one such perfect things I have in my life, who can make any imperfection very perfect.
                         I recently found a project 52, and I thought I can take the theme announced in it, each week. I joined 2 weeks late, so I thought I will just pick a topic from the previous weeks, and from next week on, go with their topic. So, here is my entry for the theme 'Imperfection'. I am completely in love with this picture, which is imperfect and yet perfectly lovable.



Also, week 3 of the blog is 'Inside'. And I wanted to go with kaleidoscope again. Here is my entry for it. Looks much better than my previous picture of kaleidoscope.

Colors of Life - 2/52

"Life is like an ever-shifting Kaleidoscope - a slight change, and all patterns alter." - Sharon Salzberg


                             Patterns keep changing in life. Though I am afraid of change, and cannot easily embrace it, life would definitely be very boring without a change. A slight change, changes all patterns in life. But just like in the case of a kaleidoscope, they still are beautiful, if you have an eye for beauty. Though beauty is not inevitable as in the kaleidoscope.
                             I somehow have a liking for Kaleidoscope. I remember one of my friends, kind of promising me, to make a kaleidoscope for me. But he never made it! DH recently got me one. And the picture of the week, is through my kaleidoscope. 
                             I understood that it is easy to capture the view from something like a kaleidoscope, using a cell phone camera, rather than a normal digital camera. So, I used my touch pad to take this picture. Will try to post some pictures I took with digi-cam too.

Tiny Little Piece of Heaven - 1/52

                        
              Here I am, with my first picture-first week. I wanted to start with the picture of my lucky charm. Yes, she has been my, OUR lucky charm. The gift we got from the heaven. The only someone who can love us unconditionally. Yes, I said that. 
              According to me, 
It's not the spouse, who loves you unconditionally 
             For ... (s)he dislikes you, once, at the least
It's not the siblings, who love you unconditionally,
             For ... they judge you, in the act of balancing the families 
It's not even the parents, who love you unconditionally,
             For, they too can misunderstand your actions
It's only your own baby, who loves you unconditionally,
             For, she is the only one who thinks you love her unconditionally
                                    

And this one is for HER...
I never knew I could love someone,
As much as I love You
I never thought I would find someone,
Who could take my breath away
I never knew I would find someone,
Who loves me for what I am
I never thought I would find someone,
Who could love me as much as you do!
Sweet Heart, No one will ever know the strength of MY love for you. 
After all, you are the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside.

Love,
Mom
