An evening sky of Kolkata

I could not take my eyes off  staring at the beautifully lit evening sky of Kolkata. There were clouds, a splash of nature's own color,a gentle breeze and the swinging of the trees. Its looked as if the sky had put on an evening show of color and light for us.

My Bundle of Joy

Workplace is a battlefield. Turned out to a chaos this week. Arguments, individual differences, new challenges, hiring new staff, client meetings, training and amongst them delivering the project to the client on time and with a smile.

At times, I would wonder - where did i get so much energy within me..who filled in me so much of strength to keep going.

Every day I returned home dead tired, waiting for the next moment to drop flat my bag and lay straight on the sofa ...Yes, then my maid would appear from nowhere carrying my little angel in her arms. The giggles of hers would sound so sweet. Gently she would place the baby on my chest...my words went out...

My Baby! My Sweetie! I missed u so much. And she would keep babbling on my cheeks, pulling out hair strands with her tiny fingers. I would kiss her on both cheeks and hold her tight to myself. And she would laugh, smile and uttered..Ahhh!! aa!! yaa!!. Love her!

God created her for me. My most beautiful Gift! Motherhood.

Winter evenings would be followed by giving her a light massage with Dabur Baby Massage Oil. She would smile feeling the warmth and the goodness of the oil. This oil has natural olive and almond oil . Almond oil is a rich source of Calcium, soothes muscles and Olive oil smooth-ens, brightens and nourishes the baby's skin. 

Daily massage with this oil fastens the baby’s muscle development and helps in quicker bone formation. The Oil has been tested for skin safety and contains no traces of paraffin and other harmful chemical impurities.

Its been 3 months I have been using Dabur Baby Massage Oil. Believe Me, I have seen quite a lot improvement in my baby's growth and activity. She's trying to stand on her own ...her bones look firm and stronger than before. And she is a lot more active.

My Thanks goes to Dabur Baby Massage Oil!  Brings wonders in the life of your little ones.

St. Paul's Cathedral of Kolkata

St. Paul's Cathedral looked stunningly beautiful on New Year Eve. This is an Anglican cathedral of the Church of North India  and is part of the Anglican Communion in Calcutta(now known as Kolkata). This church is associated with the Diocese of Calcutta. The tall celestial buildings with the wall clock tells historical tales of the British empire in India with Calcutta as its Capital city.

The Village Fair

Plan to share pics from this Mela (fair) that I visited in recent times. It reminded me of the fairs that my father would would take me to when I was a little girl. I hailed from a small town and these fairs were much looked forward to. 

There used to a large Merry go round contrast to the one over here. It used to be my favorite ride. Me, as 3 year old would not miss this and I would not move back when my parents tried to pull me. I had no fear of the heights it would take. My father used to be sit beside me holding me tight at times. But me, my eyes used to be wide-opened and stared indefinitely. My mother refused to accompany us in the ride. She did not held the courage and would watch us from the ground. This fair brought back memories from the past amidst the many amusement and theme parks that exist today.

And Here comes the Tinsel town for the Ladies

Below is the Balloon Shooting Arena 

As a kid I used to get this long gun with 10 pins to shoot the balloons. It used to be real fun. We felt privileged to have held a gun and went shooting, after all.

  

Watched A Play at the Theater

I always loved going for movies. However, I did not much chance of developing an admiration for theater plays until recently.

I watched PK a day before and also decided to go for the play on Macbeth in a nearby Theater the next day. I would perhaps surprise you by giving 5 more ratings to the Theater Play. It was incomparable. The lights, the sound and the one chance acts makes it a 100 percent show. There can be no re-take in a play and no mistakes are allowed.

The light-man, sound and other technicians have an important role in this all together mesmerizing effect. The play went on for around 2 hours. It was a breathe taken thing. I could not stop blinking for a while. The actors were very talented and lot of hard work was in it. Is this not called Team Work ?

The lights beautifully changed with the scenarios and made a real feel within us.

Christmas Eve 24th Dec 2014

It was lovely going out. Wonderful to see Christmas trees big and small continuously being sold out. There were Santas too. Large Santa, small Santa - whichever that fits your budget and space. And there was also a Dancing Santa to our much pleasure. Lights and lanterns were the charms of the season.

The shops were filled with people who seemed to have - less of time and more to buy. The market place looked very attractive. You just cannot not by-pass the decorative stores without walking-in. There were huge bright stary garlands, christmas lights, ornaments, tree toppers, sleige, chistmas stockings and so on. The Bakeries were doing great This Time of the Year. Simply love the irresistible Plum Cake on Christmas Eve!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Lazy Winter Morning

With a nip in the air and chilled wind blowing upon our face, there's nothing more pleasurable than to bask oneself in the early morning sun-rays. The warmth of the sun greets us with so much comfort to our stone-cold bodies. It livens up our spirits making us look forward to the day ahead with a much-needed smile on our face.

I love to sit in my wide armed chair on the terrace enjoying the bright warm sunshine while gazing at the newly blossomed flowers in the pots. The new ones mark the beginning of a new day with hopes and dreams.
