Let’s Play

A Word A Week Photo Challenge: Play

How i wish i could play and play,

And never have to go away;

Here and there, jump all my way,

With my toys i wish to stay.

Math, Science, History and Geography,

Forgive me, my heart loves Photography;

Mom and Dad, I wish to explore, 

Oh! Please let me lose sight of the shore.

Round and round, i wish to fly,

Like a bird in the sky;

Earth is such a beautiful place,

Please set me free, I love to have my space.

I learned to walk holding your hand,

Now I’m grown up, please be my friend;

Play with me, I’d love to say,

I’ll make you feel young day by day.

All Grown Up

All grown up

Does it really sound great and feels good to know we are grown up? Let us find out.

When we were kids, there were several instances when we tried to imitate our elders. We fancied the life our parents, uncle and aunts used to live. We craved for the freedom to do anything and everything.

Today, as adults, we admire the life of kids. We find happiness in all the small pleasures they take. We dream of living life as a kid again. Why!!!

Because….

Kids do not know about stress. They are unaware of this complicated world. They do not know about rich or poor. They do not distinguish people on the basis of color, language, caste, creed or religion. They do not know about ego, greed, money, jealousy, hatred or competition. They understand only one language and that is the language of love.

They know how to forget and forgive. They know how to embrace someone who makes them cry.They know that a smile can make others happy. They know how to get what they want without harming others. They never try to impress but know how to express. They do not know fear. They are not bothered about others because they know how to stay busy. They know their worth. They never depend on others to be happy.

Kids explore. They experiment. They learn. They laugh. They live their life!

We feel we are all grown up. We realized this when we were gifted with a son who taught us that life is very simple. Since then, we are living life as a kid again because, we now know that no one is going to get out alive anyway.

The Peaceful Smile

IMG_0096

Here we are again sharing one of our best photographs in response to two Challenges:

Nurturing Thursday  and   A Photo a Week: Up Close and Personal 

Let us all take that step towards peace. Peace, not on Earth, but within us, in every soul. Let us all carry that innocent and sparkling smile that has the power to solve any problem. Let us not just hope for change, rather be the change! Let us empathize and not sympathize.

“One Word Photo Challenge: Cream”

The One Word Challenge: This word is Cream. The Challenge is to include image/images that best fit the theme. Here are our images.

Wonder Cream Pics
Wonder Cream Pics

Cream is a thin layer that covers the milk when allowed to stand untouched. Or Cream is a smooth and soft paste.

We tried to relate it with few wonders of the world we live in.

1. The Innocence of a Child: That innocent look wonders what this world is all about and tells us “life is so simple, relax”.

2. The Softness of Snow: The soft blanket cools the heat of the planet and maintains a climate suitable for complex life on Earth.

3. The Beauty of the Swan: The beauty endowed with elegance and grace, signifying calmness and purity of the soul.

4. The Warmth of Love: The Warmth that releases all pain and grief. Love is the shield that protects us from all evil.

What do you feel? Are they the CREAM of this world?
