A stone a day- Stone #19(last)

And thus we come to the end
Each day a small effort to seek anew
A beautiful moment etched in stone
To make a pathway, strong and sinew

PS : Regular programming will continue shortly.

A stone a day- Stone #18

Stone for today is a peek-a-boo picture our trip to Chozha kingdom this past December- we stayed at this resort in Kumbakonam built in Chettinad style and true to the style, Athangudi tiles just could not be left out.

PS : A more detailed trip report toh banta hai! When normal programming begins...

A stone a day- Stone #17

As foot muscles flex and toes stretch
The warmth of lotion follows
A cool splash of water
And then 'A Oui bit of red'
Adds just the right dash of color

PS : I think its just unfair a pedicure has to be doused in socks and boots through winter months!

A stone a day- Stone #16

I sit in silence, plowing through my day job
As thunder-snow becomes a rare guest
Two squirrels merrily chase around on the deck
A burst of visual delight at times of house-arrest

A stone a day- Stone #15

For today, what would say it best would be these pictures, saves me a thousand words each.

A stone a day- Stone #14

For today, I decided to revisit the definition of a small stone which I've been throwing for about 2 weeks now and so it goes : "A small stone is a polished moment of paying proper attention."

Today I plan to pay proper attention to my readers - so here's something for the select few who read me - what brings you to my blog and what makes you come back(if at all you do)?

A stone a day- Stone #13

Stone for today would be this video, a song I've been hooked onto for the past couple of days. I read somewhere that this is the new anthem for Star Plus as part of their rebranding efforts called an 'ode to the woman'.



PS : This music has been composed by Vishal Bharadwaj

A stone a day- Stone #12

Music, movies, books and 'angry birds' on the iPhone help tide through
The oober cold spell that has enveloped the north-east coast(brrrrrrrrrrr!)

PS : Its really really really cold outside.

A stone a day- Stone #11

'What's your favorite food?' was the cue and set just the right mood
Vada Pav and Bhel Puri, just can't go wrong with Mumbai street food!

A stone a day- Stone #10

Dhobi Ghat(movie): defn:
Artsy; real, hence raw;
Juxtaposition of Mumbai vignettes against four characters spread across different class barriers
You'll either love the movie or hate it; either way you'll definitely have an opinion of it.
Don't go expecting a cliched and definitive storyline.
Prateik Babbar is brilliant and is the shining star in the movie, he's done his mother proud!

A stone a day- Stone #9

Ever been at the crossroads of a weekend around the corner
And having a stacked reading cart, knowing not what to start with?
Yes, that's where you can find me this weekend.

A stone a day- Stone #8

As I went to bed last night, a bright big full moon bade me goodnight
Peeping through my bedroom window with a cheery wave and a brilliant smile!

A stone a day- Stone #7

On my work table, idly lies an easel, varying sizes of canvas, tubes of brilliant hues
They playfully beckon me to join them in a game, a game of color splash!

A stone a day- Stone #6

The King's Speech : Brilliantly made with crisp dialogues, a very British sensibility played by master craftsmen
Based on speech therapy and certainly a must-watch!

A stone a day- Stone #5

Shoebox(n) - brimming with postcards, greetings, souvenir photos from travels,
Hand-written notes from friend's children...a treasure trove of love and sweet memories.

A stone a day- Stone #4

Sunday, the midpoint of a long weekend flexes its muscles
Empty but filled with limitless possibilities, what an oxymoron- this!

A stone a day - Stone#3

My favorite time of the week- Saturday mornings; the rhythm of a routine
Coffee, music, some lazy reading enveloped in the silence that pervades within and around

A stone a day- Stone #2

Ah, the comforting feel of cool crisp pages of an engrossing book
While inside the warmth of a comforter, one dark winter night.

A stone a day- Stone #1

Oh the joy and possibilities in a bag of fresh, green, luscious avocados...this week this mint is coated with avocado overdose.

Footnote : Many thanks to NM for giving me this little nudge with her latest post and link to the small stone concept...learn more about it here and here.

PS : Happy New Year All and here's to a river, a sea, an ocean full of small stones.
