you beckon me...- post no. 13- blog marathon

-
Long winding roads
tall, towering trees
snow clad mountains
hot piping tea

Long walks and long conversations
running around
swinging on the swings
lazing on the grass

Bright full moon peeping through the apple tree
green apples shining bright and beautiful
soft music and soul food
gurgling river, ravishing nature
mountains you beckon me....

    This poem reminds me of my grandparents place. Just got to replace the apples with mangoes and wipe off the snow.

    We could see a mountain called Kanaga mala from my grandparents home in chalakudy.

    As usual a lovely poem evoking many memories

    is there such a place in Chalakkudy? vow! I would look for it next time I am there, sure. Thanks for the info.
    I wrote it based on my visit to Manali, it was a beautiful place and there was really this huge moon peeping through the umpteen apple trees on the hotel lawns where we were having our dinner in the open, it was surreal.

In search of the prefect 'Yeast'..... post no. 2

-
Apart from the blogathon that I have jumped into there is another very important issue (!) which has been circling inside my head for long and hold your breath, it is about getting hold of a good yeast (!!) So that I can venture into bread baking..which I had been longing to do  for so long.   This search for a good yeast has been going on for so long that I have tried at least 4 to 5 types of yeast till now, I brought a pack from kerala store in Delhi,  then when I went to Kerala I brought two packs from a bakery thinking that the kind of stuff they have at their shop, definitely they must be selling  good yeast and was excited about trying it out.. then I brought packs from different bakeries in  Delhi.. to cut a long story short... none.. yes... NONE of the yeast ever worked.  During this Diwali I wanted to bake cinnamon rolls  and started imagining the joy of my children when they will be eating the perfect, melt in mouth cinnamon rolls made by their great Mom … but a

Love for lanterns...post no. 16

    Image courtesy : Internet.  M y love for lanterns stem from my childhood memories. Lanterns are an integral part of that memory because we lived in a house in a small town in Kerala, this place had no electricity at that time, but we never ever actually felt the lack of it.   The dim light of the rustic lantern which we kept on the ‘poomukham’ (or raised verandah in English) shall remain fresh in my memory forever. We studied under that light, we prayed and played pranks on each other under that light.   Those lanterns and the luminous light emanating from it was witness to some of  the bestest years of my life.   These are some images which I heart, including the header of my blog,  also I have a small collection of miniature lanterns with me.    This mini post is dedicated to my love for lanterns.
