No matter how seasons change with time…..
Happiness or sorrow what may it brings….
Nothing could stop me…I will grow, I will shine

This lovely pink flower hanging on the fence caught my eyes when I was just passing by....

Nothing eluded me....

Trail of light outside the window....

After a heavy shower of rain everything became silent. I just had a look outside from my window and observed these beautiful lights sparkling in darkness.

I wandered lonely as a cloud ...




I wandered lonely as a cloud ...
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils...

life is bizarre....

life is bizarre,
the more bizarre it gets, the more interesting it is.....
The only way to approach it is
to make yourself some popcorn and enjoy the show.....

Only as high as I reach....


originally uploaded by Snehal.....

Only as high as I reach can I grow,
only as far as I seek can I go,
only as deep as I look can I see,
only as much as I dream can I be....

The dream was always running ahead of me..

The dream was always running ahead of me.
To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it,
that was the miracle....

Deep into that darkness.....


originally uploaded by Snehal.....

Deep into that darkness peering,
long I stood there, wondering,
fearing, doubting,
dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before....

As fragrance abides in the flower

As reflection is within the mirror,
So does your Lord abide within you,
Why search for him without?”

but to add color to my sunset sky.....

laughter without sorrow, sun without rain...
but He did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears, and light for the way....

Holi! The Festival of colors and joy

This sacred bonfire is set on the previous night of Holi celebration. We believe that it burns all the evil from the world and revives life. The festival is celebrated with colors and chaos on next day

Marigolds....

These delicate blue flowers were creeping over the fence. They were looking simply stunning in subtle morning light like a group of young friends smiling and talking before starting their day :)

Beauty... is the shadow of God on the universe...

This snap was taken when I went for the photowalk first time with my dslr and so the snap is really special to me :)

God's own mysterious spotlight.....

This was shot in Nagzira wildlife sanctuary. Sunlight coming through the dense trees was looking mysterious and amazingly beautiful. Just tried to capture the beauty of nature with my small cam

when you smile so bright.....

I love the bright red color of these Shevanti flowers. I shot it with Nikon P&S where no manual settings were possible still the bokeh came out so beautifully. I love the beauty of this snap

Mist...all over the water!, originally uploaded by Snehal.....

The snap was taken in Ozar which is one of the Ashtvinayaka. It was chilled morning and we were just crossing this lake. It was awesomely beautiful with mist all over and with perfect reflection of a tree on the water. Could not stop myself from stopping by and taking a snap

This was taken on occasion of my cousin's wedding. We have a custom that bride wears green bangles in wedding and there is a small ceremony when all the married women in a family put on new bangles.
The shot was taken with my Nikon point and shoot camera. The snap also has Date stamp so it always reminds me the time I enjoyed with all my cousins on December of 2007 :)
