stars

I found this on the web but not sure who wrote it......

We don't need words
said the stars 
we shine silently
together 
for centuries 



So beautifully put.

I love birds

During the trip to Rajasthan I took few photographs of birds . Here are some.You will see a lot of pigeons..=) There were also a lot of peacocks around the roads and house. But i couldn't get any photos of them. 







A Bird came down the Walk –
He did not know I saw –
He bit an Angleworm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw,

And then he drank a Dew
From a convenient Grass –
And then hopped sidewise to the Wall
To let a Beetle pass –

He glanced with rapid eyes
That hurried all abroad –
They looked like frightened Beads, I thought –
He stirred his Velvet Head

Like one in danger, Cautious,
I offered him a Crumb
And he unrolled his feathers
And rowed him softer home –


Than Oars divide the Ocean,
Too silver for a seam –
Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon
Leap, plashless as they swim.

poem by Emily Dickinson 

Rajasthan

Over the winter holiday me and my family did a road trip to Rajasthan. Rajasthan mean land of the kings and I could see why it's called that..there were lots of kingdoms there. This is a state in India which is located in the north west. We travelled from Delhi to Ajmer and stayed the night, next day we drove to Jodhpur and the next day to Jaisalmer which is the farthest away from Delhi. This was an adventure as we did  not book any hotels and didn't know the way. Used GPS to find places. So much fun.
Here are some glimpses of the place.










Thar Desert in Jaisalmer. Such a beautiful place. Finally rest of the family say a desert. Check....

Happy New Year- 2014

This is a year to fly. To live in freedom of who I am . To see the bigger picture. Time to fly.
