If you do something good, help doing good each day, months, years after years, some things will definitely grow larger than you, someday.

This is my jackfruit plant, I germinated from the seed. Of the fruit that I enjoyed eating few days back. The stemp have come strong and long. I will be shifting the plant to an open space for it to grow more and wild and so that it starts giving back fruits.

I will giveaway extra samplings, if any one interested. With the hope, to spread happiness and doing good each day.

When you try your best, but dont succeed, when you get what you want, but not what you need. When you feel so tired , but you cant sleep.
Stuck in reverse. - coldplay (fix you)

Everyday defeat is important.

I remember my childhood days of clinging to the gate and swinging. Climbing and jumping from over the gate. Kicking , anchoring , knocking. Opening it for known stranger without fear. The gate is also a threshold, I step out to a different world everyday and Step in to the feeling, called home. At night my father makes sure the gate is locked, the utmost idea of safeguarding us. The gate always watched us play, allowed the passer by a glimpse inside. The gate became an interface of exchange of letters, gifts and food to the needy.

It opens and accepts all, does not discriminate.

It stands still against all odds, let's the wind pass by.

But that is not it , the gate fails itself each day. 'Neither side of a door knows what's on the other side of it. Except when it is open , when it is not even a door ' - jack Myers (Doorway)

Getting up, crossing the threshold isn't enough. Hope, pray, love isn't enough. We even may not be us, while failing. We may want everything but may not find us in everything.

Now, I kind of like the idea failing each day. It introduces one side of me, leaving me curious about the other side of me...

Surrender to nature

20/07/2020

From friendships to affairs, from small talks to big laughters, from future plans to memories, from singing a song to sketching the view, from silently observing to loudly thinking, from birds chirping to moon rising, from soiree to dawn, all things at the Terrace. All things at Soiree.

I have often called attention to the fact that walking through the streets is a different experience. Right and left, top and bottom the house facades, every key, every lock, every window or the door carried the imprint of the person who had made it.
Impressions really define the liking, approach and personality of the person.

St. Joseph church - a wonderful place hidden amidst the busy market. The chuch holds a special place in my heart.

Urban lifestyles for many have become about how effeciently time is managed and spent. Venturing out and how ? Has been the key thought in the minds of individuals. Apparently the choice to walk the neighborhood was sought , which resulted the decline in the vehicle dependency. The decision was governed by -

sense of time - shorter distances aspired.
comfort - walkable surfaces and comforting environments.
and health - physical activity and visual simulations.

Though in most of our cities parameters of comfort and health are compromised or ignored. One desirable example I came across recently which holds true to all the three elements does encourage walking and is the most ideal for all our cities.
- Footpath by municipal corporation.
