The Land Of Many Colours

India, the land of many colours - diverse landscape, culture, cuisine, festivals & attire contribute to this.

As we approach the festival of colours/Holi, I would like to present my beautiful, colourful country each day through my vibrant pics.

Today I present to you the multi coloured turbans of Rajasthan (a state in North West India) - a symbol of prestige, pride & status for the lovely people of Rajasthan.

See you soon 🤗

The Blue Pottery

The Blue Pottery or the only form of pottery which is not made from clay. Yes, you heard that right. It's a stone based pottery. The name 'Blue Pottery' comes from cobalt blue dye used to colour the pottery.

A traditional craft of Jaipur of Central Asian origin. It is believed to have originated in China and then spread to Turkey & even Netherlands.

The Persian art of blue pottery came to Jaipur from Persia (as the name suggests) & Afganistan. It was brought to India during the Mughal period via Kashmir.

This pottery is made from an Egyptian paste by mixing quartz stone powder, powered glass, multani mitti/Fuller's earth, borax, gum & water.

Beautiful items like tiles, door knobs, pots, vases, plates, lamps are produced. The biggest advantage of this pottery is that it doesn't develop cracks; it is hygienic & is quite suitable for daily use. In recent times more colours like green, turquoise, yellow etc are being used.

In fact I can never get bored of travelling to the Pink City of India over & over again, just to to get a glimpse of those gorgeous blue creations. The colour blue makes me smile every time.

At The Crossroads Of Life

Well, I somehow find myself standing at a crossroad every other day - indecisive & lost without the internet, roadmap; all alone in a strange land.

Many a times I feel like running back to where I started. Standing there all confused is not easy. It requires courage, determination, faith & lots of positivity to stay focused and move forward in a new direction.

But then that is way better than trudging along the same path year after year complaining & cribbing; for taking that new path or a sudden turn in our lives will teach us to explore, discover, experiment and reach new heights.

Afterall, the best view comes after the hardest climb. Agree?

I Want To Break Free

I want to break free from the daily routine; from the mundane life; from staying indoors & staying safe; from Covid.

Would love to flap my wings; travel far & wide; take risks; lose myself in the wilderness; fear nothing; dream often; create some precious memories & leave my footprints 👣 in the sands of time.

See you soon 🤗

CHAI KAHANI/THE STORY OF TEA

This is one such magical drink which will warm you up if you feel cold; cool you down if you feel warm; add to your happiness if you are happy; cheer you up if you are sad.

At A Tea Parlour in Hyderabad, India

You guessed it right - tea is just not a beverage; it is an emotion that rules every mood, house, office, canteen, occasion - be it a condolence meet; someone's marriage; kitty party; spicy gossip; breakup; proposal or a get together.

Mint Tea

Masala Chai/Spiced Tea with Samosa (Triangular Pastry)

Whatever be the tea we are consuming (spiced or mint tea), meetings do become warmer & conversations juicer. Agree?

So, till we meet again on Friday over a cup of tea from yet another destination, keep smiling & see you soon 🤗
