Love...life...destination

Life is like a canvas

and it's beautiful indeed 

with splashes of colour. 

Love is life. 

Love is respect and affection,
inspiration and destination.

Life is peace...

calmness of mind,

a degree of stability within

and strong sense of 

inner contentment.

 When it is simple

life is joyful.

On a designer's note...

"You don't need to make a big fuss,

just put together things

that make you happy

and that reflect you"
                             - Dan Marty, Designer. 

Hello lovelies...

Hope 2014 is treating you beautifully :)

A Big Thank You and A Huge Bear Hug...to all my folks!!:):)

For the last couple of days the atmosphere was not so pleasant on this blog !! ...You may get the whole story HERE...but at the end 'Life is a continuous process of learning'..and all such negative experiences are 'part of the game'....!

The outcome so far...the picture from my blog is still up there on the WEBSITE  (yes,in spite of my repeated write ups/ complains/ mails/ comments etc.) PLAGIARISM thrives unashamedly....!! :(

Meantime RAINBOW has managed to change it's getup...well a little bit !:) The Template has been changed, the old banner is again back here  (yes, the same picture which was conveniently stolen), ....and a few more changes here and there....and of course all the pictures are 'watermarked' from now on:)

My Frangipani Love on a beautiful summer morning...from Singapore...a few Ethnic Indian design inspirations! :)

Just drop me a few lines whether you would like these changes or not...would love to hear from you as always :)

And finally, a big Thanks to all of you!!....my family and friends, my amazing co-bloggers, gentle followers and lovely readers for your tremendous support against PLAGIARISM...for all your unconditional love and encouragement (on this blog and on Facebook)....I really really appreciate !...Thank You ALL!!...Thanks for everything!!!


Feed backs and suggestions are very much welcome on the new look of This Blog !!??:):)

Playfully with colours !!:)

Last week when everything was going wrong I  started playing with colours !!
After almost 10 years  have tried something new old !... Once upon a time which was very close to my heart ...Yes, painting!.. To be precise Jamini Roy  replica/copy !!

After my M.S. it took  a back seat ....reasons are many...well that is completely another story!!...

Now, let us come to the point...last weekend I've tried it...after a long long  time....and more or less happy with the outcome...!!:)...It was just a test run...!! All of you know that, painting needs a lot of time and patience (and am in short of both!!)....
A copy of Jamini Roy's 'Mother and Child'....which is one of my all time favourites...intentionally I've changed the colour scheme ....

Here, is the making...my humble attempt...; 



 And finally am here...

I know, I know flaws are there very much...am no expart !..

So, all my lovelies..all super talented ladies out there...please drop in your suggestions...only you can guide me! ...Would love to hear from you as always :)

At present am crazily busy..... in the middle of packing !....and my two great great helping hands (yup, our brats) are always trying to disturb  make things easy for mama dear (as usual !!:)) Would try to put up a few posts on Christmas/Holiday decor before I leave....

A Passage to India

It's mid of November... Diwali is over (though the afterglow is still there :))...Thanksgiving is coming.... and it is raining continuously in Singapore!...This tropical beauty queen is all wet...the clean roads are cleaner and the green landscapes are much greener now  :)...

Last weekend was just like that !!.....The seductress Singapore was all dressed up with flowers and colours and greens ! Though Saturday was a crazy busy day with all to-do-lists, shopping and all that....Sunday was a bit different !!....Officially Sundays are fun days if hubby is in Singapore...if he is not travelling zig-zag across the continents !!....So, when the dad and the brats were in full mood (as usual) the mom decided for a family day out at Asian Civilisation Museum.....:)

ACM  is one of the pioneering museums in the region to specialise in PAN-ASIAN cultures and civilisations...and is an integral part of the three museums of the National Museum of Singapore.

The Museum's collection centres on the material cultures of the different groups originating from China, South East Asia, South Asia and West Asia....from which the diverse ethnic groups of Singapore trace their ancestry. Today am showing a part of it's South Asian gallery (Gallery 7) and the rest will come in near future [It is impossible to cover up the whole Museum in a single post!!]....

Spread across two galleries, the South Asian collection explores the wealth of diversity in the region  through themes such as religions, science and the performing arts. South East Asia was the birthplace of two of the world's major religions: Hinduism and Buddhism. The Museum's collection of stone representations (statues and stupas and models) of the Hindu  Gods covers different regional styles and includes popular deities such as Shiva, Parvati, Vishnu, Brahma and Ganesha.....Today let us enjoy the India section...which is enriched with all these incredible stone sculptures...!!!

So, this was my weekend in a capsule!...and now am going to add this link to Patty's weekend wrap up 6.
