RAINS RAINS *****

The much awaited rains are here in Mumbai, I love this season there a certain feeling of well being , I am more relaxed and more at ease when it rains outside...
Here are the pictures i clicked from my apartment window...


This was how it actually looked like when the sky was overcast with thick water laden clouds (this is the actual picture).
Two minutes later it started pouring and  then cleared a bit the light outside was clearer This was around 6.00 in the evening so time for sun set , I wanted all of you to get a clearer picture and so I  changed the mode of my digital camera , changed it to night vision so that you all could see the exterior better than in the first picture...





Here you can see our society swimming pool...

BUTTERFLY ON MY WINDOW SILL****

Nature has its own beauty . Nature has so much to offer and you can see it everywhere in gods creation , in birds, animals and all the amazing things around us.
I love colours and so i always look out for colours in nature and when i  find them i capture them in my camera which i would view myself , but now blogs have been instrumental in helping me share this with you
 Yesterday morning as i finished my morning tea which i usually have on my window sill , i went to keep my mug in the sink and returned back to my place to just relax for sometime before my daily routine would take over my time and mind power(Haha...) I can think well only when i am alone and  silent.
I saw this beautiful butterfly who had just settled on my sill and was looking so beautiful that i was awestruck...
Look at the perfect colour combination and look at the spots!!!!!!!!. Can any of us create such a wonderful creature... 
doesnt it look like a cloth is wrapped around the back of the insect...

MID-MORNING TEA SEAT****

All my friends must be wondering what does the title of the post mean right?
Well let me tell you I have 2 cups of tea in the morning, One early in the morning after I wake up and the second during mid-morning after my household duties are half done...
I love to sit with a hot cup of tea or a nice cup of filter coffee, I normally sit on my window-sill and look at the society compound where i can see the swimming pool and the kids play area.


We stay in apartments ,so what we see all over is mostly high rise buildings , so a little greenery or water here and there is always welcome...


But the best part of the morning is sitting with my tea cup and reading  a interior magazine like BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS, OR A COUNTRY LIVING...
It gives me great pleasure to just sit there looking up in the sky and thinking of the things that i would love to do and how i would like my days to be and what I could have done etc etc...


This is the best part of my morning schedule , most of the remaining time i spend either cooking or cleaning...
