Listening to my favorite music
Enjoying the evening air
A coffee sip
Am I lonely or Alone ?
Neither
I am with myself 💃
☕
Dedicated to my mother on her Birthday
The video I did today because she was like ocean……
Watching the vastness
Waves playing with the shore
Running to and fro
Orchestrating the music
Here I am standing on the sidelines
Remembering her fragrance
Searching for her spirit somewhere
What was she an ocean of love ?
Or the free flowing wind ?
May be both
The spring in her walk
Relentless will to survive
She lived every moment
With enthusiasm of a child
Watching ebb and flow
I long to hide myself in her arms
Merge into her embrace
Hidden from preying eyes
In her life she was never a coward
The why she left without a goodbye?
These Whys would haunt me until the end
Yes I miss her all the time
Then again find her in the realms of my being
What really am I ?
Truth is ……
Her essence left behind
Today’s sun majestic in setting so was she, Sun would come back tomorrow but she left once for all

Sun and moon at their zenith
Dare you to choose best ?

Evening trail…..
Sun to clouds to rain
Witnessing the nature
Humbled and grateful
Sun behind the clouds
Then sea meeting clouds
Trees reflecting in rain water
I a mute and blessed spectator 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻

Childhood love☕

Today I was watching a video showing how to make cappuccino at home. My favorite coffee
.
By the time it finished I was transported back couple of decades, when we used to beat a spoon or two of Nescafe coffee powder with sugar in a big bowl till it was almost light brown covering the whole bowl. Then a spoon of creamy mix into hot milk and water and the coffee TREAT was ready. Yester years – Beated coffee Today’s – Cappuccino
Today it cost AED 14 (Dubai currency) minimum, that time it was labour of love💕☕ and passing the bowl to everyone present to get the best color.
A little early evening….
I am hypnotized by the Sunsets
Every evening I eagerly await
For the Nature to paint the Sky
Enchanting are the result
Every evening
Today’s Sunset
Leaving pink hue

Witnessing…..
How could I resist to share today evening marvel
The Crescent
The Star
The setting Sun
Perfect Symphony
Silently by the shore
Only heart could hear
Gratitude once again🙏🏻
