Snowy Confectionary

                                                             
                                                                               
Imagine a garden full of row of bushes laden with sugar dusted lollipops and buns. Trees bearing bunches of snow white toffies and the path in the garden lined with frosty cupcakes.  Well, it is not a fairytale but my very own little backyard ! It had turned into a snowy wonderland after an overnight heavy snowfall.

The snow covered bushes made them look like dusted with icing sugar. Their thick tiny snow covered leaves resembled white creamy cookies.

Beads of snow took the form of white candies which dangled on the barren branches and fell on the ground making a gentle sound with each gush of the wind.

I gingerly stepped on the pebbles on the pathway which had become fluffy white doughnuts. As I reached the snow bird feeder stand, before me was a large cake whipped up with powdery snow  beckoning with all its glory !  


For a few moments , I simply stood in awe wishing that they were all real! I could just go and pluck them to my heart's content. 


A touch of imagination had done wonders today. The sight of a snow clad garden had taken me on a trip to a magical snowy wonderland which I had thought only existed in my childhood story books!

"As I look out of my 27th floor office window into the blue Manhattan skyline, the white and grey cold mighty looking skyscrapers appear as if they are competing to get the biggest piece of the clear blue sky. Each trying to outshine one another just like little school children jostling to get attention in front of their teacher.." "The empty chairs in my office during the lunch hour seem to be silently conversing with each other.With the winter jackets of their occupants hung on their backs, it appeared that they were relishing these moments of quiet solitude of the lunch hour" "The train haltingly chugs into the platform as a reluctant child who plods his way to the school" "Perfectly made Rotis which don't need any nudging at all to blow up are like those childhood prodigies which bloom and blossom on their own with minimum efforts."

                                                                                             It’s the month of December! The month full of Christmas festivities and holiday cheer. It was a typical cold and windy December evening yesterday when I returned home from work. As I approached my apartment I was thrilled to find a lovely sight. It felt as if a thousand twinkling stars from the heaven had descended upon the landscaped gardens surrounding our apartment. The entire complex shimmered with beautiful Christmas lights. The glittering trees which usually fade away into the darkness of the night seemed to have come alive. The twinkling lights had made the biggest tree right in the middle of the garden look like a bride adorned with exquisite j...

                 A hot September afternoon at the Big Burp Deli I went for a long awaited shopping trip to Vashi yesterday with my dad. But as the day wore on, the oppressive heat and the dust took its toll and I frantically started searching for a place to soothe our aching feet and satiate our grumbling stomachs. We came across this cafe Big Burp Deli with its all black exterior and big bold lettered name. What struck me were the cute three pots of ferns hanging against the backdrop of the glass window with white curtains giving it a look of quaint European style cafe. The charming exterior looked very inviting and we decided to go in.  A small bell on the door chimed gently as I opened the door to step in. We seated ourselves comfortably in a corner overlooking  a wall covered with vintage photographs.   The interior of the cafe was very tastefully done up with fresh paintings,soft music and multicolo...
