Today's word is Seahorse.

"The eyesight of the seahorse is incredibly sharp, and each eye moves independently. Taken as a symbolic message of perception and awareness of those around us. When lost or confused, the seahorse suggests that we take a good look around to get a better perspective of the situations."

Walk it off

This old aunty comes walking regularly in our building.She wears sport shoes,nine yard saree and pink socks.She is insanely cute :)

“[Walking] is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside.”
― Elizabeth von Arnim, The Adventures of Elizabeth in Rügen

The wrong destination!

Please note that some months back a young man ventured into the Bannerghatta Forest and got trampled upon by an Elephant. I had that in mind when I sketched this. Please don't send your wards without proper Guides to such places howsoever adventurous they may be!

Most species of the hermit crab have soft abdomens, which are protected from predators by a salvaged empty sea snail shell, carried by the hermit crab into which its whole body can retract.   Hollow wood or stone pieces are also used by some species.

Butter Roti

An amul ad which showed 30 seconds of a just prepared roti and a blob of amul butter doing its magic. One can't help but feel like grabbing that.I tried making this from that image.

Buttering?

Looks like Butter has become the Main Dish instead of the Masala Dosa!!

Home made Butter

hope everybody knows how to make home made butter those who dont here is the recipe  http://www.vegetarian-cooking-recipes-tips.com/how-to-make-butter.html

Sinful butter

A family recipe

A large blob of fresh white butter, home-made banana jam and akki roti.  Some of my cousins still have this as a quick dessert - and forget about that cholesterol.

I'm not sure if this comes under 'butter',  - a more refined way?
