Summer time Bourgainviellas

I love some of the things summer brings with it!One of them being the array of colourful flowers.Here are some cuttings from my very own garden i placed in a vase.Love the contrast against the white!!



Beautiful breakage!

I love fish bowls,not with fish in them necessarily but love to use them as glass planters.Now im not the most careful person around and have had my share of broken fish bowls,but for once good luck was on my side and this particular fish bowl broke ever so beautifully!!Have a look THE BEAUTIFUL BREAKAGE and some of the other water plants i've grown in a fish bowl!

The lil green patch!!

My lil green patch!!I love to garden,i love the greenery,i get super excited when the little seedling i've sown grown into a thriving plant that bears flowers and fruit.I also think garden is a really therapeutic and relaxing hobby.It can brighten up your home and make it come a alive in an array of colours!!

I live in Mumbai a claustrophobic,polluted,fast paced,bustling city,where we dont really have the luxury of massive lawns and gardens.Living in little matchbox houses we pay through the nose for the little space we call home.

Given the space constraints I've tried to create my own little piece of heaven

Home grown chillies

Nature's artwork

Recently i hit the sandy beaches of Goa for some good old RNR. Spent a whole day basking,well more like roasting in the sun,sipping on icy cold beer and scribbling away on my sketch pad.Nothing beats the sound of sea and the salty tingle of the sea breeze.Once i had my share of sketches and friendly chatter with the ever so friendly shack owner[who by the way lives a freaking wild life!!relaxed style]i decided to plonk my butt near a marooned boat and watch the sun set.

Feet nuzzled  in a warm and moist bed of soft sand,i saw some really quirky crab art.These little creatures in the attempt to carve a niche for themselves sure do sculpt pretty little works for art for the passerby.

A picturesque sunset was a lovely way to end the day

"Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny."-Stephen Covey


With that said here's my first thought:Sow and nurture your own little garden,let it bring you the joy,peace and happiness that makes your life,time well spent!
