790_window

Today's topic is window.
It has nothing to do with Bill gates ;)
Every morning, we wake up & open the window curtains to let the Sunlight in.
Then look out at the view available, some of us are lucky to have our own gardens.
Others have to be happy with the borrowed view i.e the neighbours garden. 
But most of us have to be happy looking at the neighbours house!
Whatever the view, we are grateful for the Sunshine!
Let us draw the view from our favourite window.

A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
Walt Whitman 

Bad weather always looks worse through a window.
Tom Lehrer 


My house borders horse farms, and I can look out my window and see the horses and the new colts. It's really peaceful.
Queen Latifah 


I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.

Today's topic is boat.

Every time we visit a lake, river or the sea, we are tempted to take a boat ride! What is it that makes us want to do this? Let us explore & find out why we love boat rides.

This rhyme is so profound!
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

788_Post!


788_Post office

Today's topic is Post office.

It's new year, how many cards did you send to wish your near & dear ones & how many did you receive? How many letters did you write in 2013? How many times did you visit the post office? I know, technology has brought the World closer, now you don't have to wait for a week to get a reply from another continent, it is instant! But the fun of writing on onion paper, putting it in an envelope, having it weighed, buying a stamp, sticking it & posting it! What fun! So let us get all nostalgic & share our post office experience here!

Did you know that India has the most number of post offices than any other country! (over 1,20,000 post offices).

Today's topic is Fruit bowl.

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?
Albert Einstein

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
Aristotle 

Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.

Today's topic is Arches.

All experience is an arch, to build upon.
Henry Adams 

Behind the proscenium arch, you can't always hear what people in the audience are saying.
Billy Connolly 

Why do you speak to me of the stones? It is only the arch that matters to me.
Kublai Khan 

Without stones there is no arch.
Marco Polo 

Back of every creation, supporting it like an arch, is faith. Enthusiasm is nothing: it comes and goes. But if one believes, then miracles occur.
Henry Miller

2014 is already a day old. Let us take positive steps into this new year!

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.
Confucius 

A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.
William Arthur Ward 

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
Heraclitus 

Who tracks the steps of glory to the grave?
Lord Byron 


Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps, down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision.
Ayn Rand
