My Guest Post at Zen-Sational Living

My friend Sheila of Zen-Sational Living invited me to guest post on her blog.  I was delighted. Always a pleasure to visit a good friend, right? Right! 

Here is my post on her blog: 

Expanding the Mind: Let’s Learn About Indian Temples!

Now, you've seen Sheila around my blog. I've known her for a long time and it feels like we've met - and that's a wonderfully warm feeling. Let me try and do justice to the amazing person that Sheila is:

• She's a fantastic writer and story teller - who gets across her points in a humorous way that you'll want to receive
• I'd rather read her blog for self-improvement than any other, because she narrates her own life events, which makes it that much easier to relate with
• She is the author of  Booyah! Spirit  and Zen-Sational Living  (Available from  The Zen Store, Amazon, Smashwords and Barnes&Noble

• When she welcomes you to her blog with "Come on in, take a load off, & relax!" that's exactly what you can do
• You can send free ecards from her blog 
• I greatly admire her for her initiative Love Rally. Please do take a look.
• Each time I receive an email alert about a new post by her, I just drop everything and rush over.
• She is very supportive - an example is this time I requested her to read an epic post I wrote for her feedback - and she responded immediately 
• I was upset - a few months ago - and cried on her shoulder and she wrote back with some superb advice, making me feel instantly better
• Sheila is my friend, and I am proud of the way our connection has blossomed
• I always feel the sensation of a huge hug when I visit her blog

Now, I would be ever so grateful if you would please, please come over to Sheila's Zen-Sational Living and appreciate her!

Thank you, dearest friends. I appreciate you very, very much. Without you, I am NOTHING.

Sundays In My City - Om Sweet Om

As Sunday approached, I was juggling with various things - work, home, friends' issues, money matters, and health. Although things are looking more transparent now than before, by no means is everything okay. Therefore, I did not go out much except to buy vegetables and other regular staples. Oh, I did venture a bit farther for Vidur's school books for the new academic year, but not so successfully since not all the books are in stock.

I did not even go out for my usual walk every day because of the health issues and instead, went up to our rather large terrace to keep those tired muscles active. Our condominium is only four floors tall - we live on the second floor and the fourth floor opens to the terrace. Here are some backyard shots, then :-)

This pic is a crazy one from my mobile phone camera - but I quite liked it

Bird on a wire 

These photos are all from my digital camera. The sky looked divine and I thought it might rain. But it did not

Two birds on a wire 

I never fail to marvel at the sunset. We get a gorgeous view from one side of our terrace and I always get excited about seeing the sunset on one side, while the moon rises on the other

Beautiful sky

Looking closer, and a little lower than the photo above, is a lovely view of these pretty flowers.

Those pretty flowers

And looking right now (yikes - vertigo!) you can see our open parking lot. There are more flats than the number of closed garages. We're lucky to have a closed garage. :-) But we don't have a car. Really. Only a scooter which I ride. Isn't nature lovely? One tree is bare while the others are nice and lush.

This guy, while his parents walked, chatting, kept running around the place and was talking to himself.  Suddenly, just as he was about to cross, he looked up and I instinctively clicked. Oh I loved his style!

I found this little guy very dude! No idea who he is

This is just outside our building's gate - the main road - there was a traffic jam thanks to some road rage out of control and people fighting on the side. Click. That's Sury's back  we're seeing marching towards the gate. 

Just outside our gate. Traffic jam. Oh yes, I know the guy on the left

And now, let us travel the world together from Unknown Mami's blog. We gotta check the itinerary first, don't we? Let us go!
