What is special about today?

-



Today morning when I woke up there was a question raised about what was so special today. I happened to wake up early to see the pre sunrise horizon with the stars still shining and when the sheaths of dark night are uncovered to shed some light.
It looked quite mesmerizing and took some cool pictures while sipping a hot cup of tea. It always fills me with so much energy when I relish the early morning air.









The sun was shining in full glory as I rode the bus to work. I could see the bright red and pink hues of color of the fall colors adorning mother nature like a bride. Along the way I also could see the peak of my favourite Mt. Rainier still snow covered but beautiful in the morning light and feel like giving a bear hug to it.

It’s my habit of enjoying the ride to Seattle every day, the scenery looks different every day. Today as we crossed the floating bridge the water was like a sheet of silk so smooth and shining enhancing the effect.  I feel the water is always an indicator of how the weather for rest of the day is going to be.

I observed many things today. I could see a lone guitarist strumming his guitar alone in the morning ..the houses with their decks extending to edge of the lake..i saw people setting their coffee tables near the ledge .. I could see the pigeons playing around along the freeway. I saw three pigeons playing and was following their activity for few minutes. felt like the Banala sistersJ…two of them crossed over and moved forward. One of them stayed back on one corner..just like me…but then it flew over and joined rest of them in time so that they could all be together. This was a clear indicator for me that its time to go back home soon.

On the whole I feel every day is special and we should make the best use of what we have and take it forward to live every moment. Although on the work front it might get a bit boring its important that we keep learning for there is always something new to learnJ

This is my FIRST Blog and i never thought i would start with such a topic. But i think its worth a read..so sit back and Enjoy:-)... Life is such a wonderful teacher that teaches us a whole variety of lessons although with a complete mix of emotions. No matter how hard we try there is always a perfect timing where all things fall in place just like the various pieces of a puzzle. Today there was a simple but mysterious experience which I came across. It so happened that I had to make a few payments that was important and to be closed at the earliest. Normally I manage my finance by allocating them appropriately before hand along with some additional reserve.But today I had exactly the amount that was required for the payment and no additional reserve. I kept on thinking about how to manage in case any unexpected expense comes before me. A most unexplainable incident happened exactly at this moment of my though...

On a Rainy day

On a Rainy day, the morning seems so grey With rain drops playing a new tune as they spray Making the birds sing a new song that makes me sway Enjoying the music to start a new day On a Rainy day, as I walk along the shaded way With a canopy of trees sheltering the wild flowers as they play Amidst the cool breeze, I see the reflection of the scene above in full display Making me feel like I’m walking among the clouds far far away On a Rainy day, as I sip my coffee watching nature’s play Cleaning the lush green leaves and spraying the flowers so bright To bring out the True Colors within making me feel so light Reminding me to enjoy every moment Life brings in Like a little bird’s First flight. -        Nirmala B.J

PARIS…Part One A place of beauty, architectural marvels, fantastic cuisines, unique pieces of art, choicest place of many great artists is in short the place PARIS . Its my pleasure to share my experience of visiting the city of Paris. I had been to Paris during the Christmas vacation. It was a most awaited trip filled with all enthusiasm and interest. I took a train from Baden, Switzerland to Basel. I had to travel via a TGV which was also a first time for me. With some initial hiccups and a journey of almost 5 hours I reached Gare’ De Est station in Paris. I was received by my friend who was to join me in my trip. After having a small dose of coffee we took the network of sub way trains to reach our destination Gare’ De Lyon wherein I had booked the accommodation in Hotel Lyon Bastille. It was my second stinct with the subway metros and tube stations after the one in London. It brought many pleasant memories of my visit to London some time ago. The subway metros are all well connecte...
