If winter comes, can spring be far behind? With my limited knowledge of weather conditions in different countries I don’t know whether it is a mid-summer or fall or whatever it is, right now. In some parts of India, the change of weather could be predicted without much strain, though it is hide and seek …

Have some patience, man!
After a prolonged, “Hide and Seek”, right from early morning, the Sun seemed to lift the curtain for a while, much to the pleasure of some of us, who have been waiting for a breakthrough. Till then, nothing was visible in certain areas. :Have some patience an”, I said to myself but the long-awaited brightness …
Early morning or late evening?
It was bright and sunny. But it was difficult to predict whether it was morning or evening… yesterday or today! Even the birds could not make their presence felt. There were some people on the road but it was difficult to say whether they were on evening walk or morning walk. Anyway, I had just …
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
When the weather is unfavorable, one is reluctant to go out for walk. Even a short distance appears to be a Herculean task! But, the other day we managed to overcome the reluctance mainly because it was a trip to a temple and the short distance was not by walking but in a taxi cab! …
The King of Kings!
The sun was at ‘His’ best… All smiles and warm. One wondered whether ‘He’ was taking advantage of the “cycle gap” between dark clouds which have been active all along. Anyway, ‘Whoever’ was powerful at that time, I was enjoying the warmth of the sun and tempted to go out for a brisk walk. Of …

The other day, it was a huge, multi colored arch, maybe the biggest rainbow I have ever seen but slowly it disappeared and the sky was all-set for a heavy down-pour, though what followed was a hide and seek! This afternoon, the sky held a huge, wide-open black umbrella which was a clear indication that …
Venerable Co-existance
Urbanization, invariably, results in construction of new houses in rural areas or even in agricultural lands available in urban areas.

Anyway, even now, …
To Live and Let Live!
“Buildings, buildings everywhere but not even a nest to live”, the birds seemed to shout in their own sing-song voice. Oh bird, I do sympathise with you guys for the loss of your age-old properties spread all over the world but, as I look around the lovely park, the man-made buildings and your shelters are …
Peaceful Co-existence
‘Old order changeth, yielding place to new…†The poet who wrote these lines would have taken into account the rapid changes that were taking place ever since stone age and the human capacity to bring about such changes but it is doubtful whether he would have foreseen the rapid unbelievable changes during the past 10 …
How about a playful hide and seek
“I am the monarch of all I survey…” “Uhm… I know the rest of those immortal lines… you need not repeat them here. Right now, you are the lord of fowl and brute… You can even add… and those majestic trees and the vast sky. But, don’t you think that you are, in fact, highlighting …
