Our first house in Sydney. A very helping Indian lady agreed to take us as house guests on the request of a friend of my cousin's. Long trail really. It's amazing how you find people and develop new friends. The Living area The House   Kitchen and Dining Bedroom    Backyard

Been busy for a while and haven't been able to take a break. That's when you remember earlier breaks and trips you had made and the best times you have had. For me best times have been all my trips to konkan. I Love everything about konkan. The wonderfully fresh sea food, the serene beaches, the greenery and the ghats and rivers. Just awesome ... all of it. Sharing few of my pics from my favorite konkan trips ... day dreaming of being there already .. :)

This is a snap of the river Godavari in Nasik. This snap was taken just a few days after the monsoons started this year. The waters look so calm and serene. Sitting on the banks and eating 'peru' and 'bhutta' is a wonderful experience.

These are some snaps of different flowers which I had captured at different times.  Orchids are known for their beauty. These flowers wilt very slowly. We had kept them at our house for almost 3 weeks. You only need to keep changing the water in the vase and they remain as fresh as ever.  Roses always make for a pretty picture. The flower of Love, peace, friendship and many things ..  Probably the most popular flower in the world ...  These are tuberose or 'Nishigandha', my favorite flower for obvious reasons ... :D .. ;) ;) They smell so good and these too can be kept for about a week before the finally wilt away.

Spring is here and my terrace garden seems to be blooming to welcome the new year ... :) Could not stop sharing this lovely pics from my garden .... I loved these colors so much, I've set this pic as wallpaper on my phone...

I have this lovely hibiscus plant in my terrace garden which is in blooms almost through out the year. Strangely, a few weeks back, although it had flowers at the top, the branches were loosing all their leaves. They turned yellow and started dropping one by one. It reached a point that the plant had no leaves at all and I was worried that it may be dying .... Then suddenly last week, i caught these shoots coming from the nodes of the barren branches. The plant is turning green again .... its spring time!!

I've always loved capturing events or in general any nice nature or urban scene I come across. Over years I've collected a wide range of snaps which I would love to show around .. :) Let me start by posting one of my sunrise snap. This snap was captured a couple of weeks back when I was travelling to Pune on my way back from my hometown Nasik. We started really early in the morning to avoid traffic and reach Pune in time for office. We were lucky to catch the rising sun, welcoming the day ... :)  

Recently going through my collection of snaps came across this beautiful photos which I had captured while in UK. It was fall time and these snaps were captured in a park. The leave are changing colors and are in different stages giving the trees a very colorful look. Summers in Europe may be a more joyful time but I would vote for fall as the most beautiful time of the year. Sharing a few lovely snaps here ...
