Sands of time

In the sand of time I write thy name ,

In the sand of time it's you and me, 

Silly how the sand of time always slips out like a bugger,, no matter how much you try and keep it in your palm covered,, 

So do we just rush to keep ourself in... 

I think no ,, 

it's now ,, no one knows the future ,, nor can you bring back the past ,, 

it's now ,, the sand beneath your feet, the sand you feel ,, 

it's now the sand still in your palm and not the one which swiftly ran ,,, 

It's now you and me are here,, it's now ,, let's feels this sand more , let's play in it,, let it caress us with its gentle kiss,, tomorrow we won't be here,, 

but our memories will be etched in this sand forever ,,, 

Somewhere in the bylanes,, lost in the moment 

I love these vines 💚🌱🌱🌱

Sand beneath my feet ,,,, pure bliss 

You and me, always coming together as we,, etched in the sands of time --- forever ❤️

Beautiful Journeys

I have realized one thing that I love journeys more than the destination. I look forward and plan for days together for the same and I am excited to embark on my journey every single time with enthusiasm. Honestly in my heart I crave for the journey to just go on and on. Journey to me is a discovery always in progress. 

Journey is the present which I don't want to let go for the future destination. I like to enjoy it to the fullest while it lasts. To explore the hidden treasures it promises.

It's not about quickly getting to the destination, it's about exploring the journey whilst you get there.

We miss beautiful things on our way in the quest of our destination. And these moments, beauty and experiences make the entire process complete and surreal - unforgettable memories ( just like Life )

According to me - Destination is the finale, the end point of journey and journey is laid with pathways leading to innumerable possibilities and destinations. 

And isn't life itself a journey and not a destination...... With this thought I leave you to embark on many more journeys filled with numerous possibilities.. 

Very aptly said indeed -- it's about the journey and not the destination. 

One such journey --- ❤️❤️

Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it -Greg Anderson

Journeys

Journeys fascinate me more than the destination, as it's the journey that enthralles, excites, evokes the senses.

Journey is a beautiful book which opens one amusing chapter at a time with anticipation. - Bhakti 

I love to watch the changing landscape, life, people. If you see it closely, it's telling us a story. Unravelling mysteries

On one such journey from Pune to Goa. 

I love this drive, full of colours and beautiful landscapes. 

Beautiful blooms welcoming us to take this journey ... Starting it with colours. 

Mysteries behind closed doors... So many stories to tell ,, you keep wondering about what lies behind the door, when u pass them on your way. Sometimes I really want to get down and explore them , I satisfy myself with a picture most of the time. 

 

 

Travel in Style

 

Of old palaces standing still through time, witnessing many a passerby ,, quiet though now,, 

Never ending roads with green canopy.. It feels like travelling far and wild. 

Me lost in it all, just taking few moments for all of it to sink in. 

I enjoy my journeys with outfits that scream comfort and colour. Leggings are the best coupled with tunics or tees with few splashes of colour for long mystical journeys. 

Hubby dear taking a break to admire. 

Mountains filling the landscape and making it larger than life- the mighty ones 

Always awestruck at smallest wonders life has to offer💚💜

Butter Garlic Prawns

Me and hubby dear are prawn lovers. We can't get enough of them.

Whenever we are in Goa, everyday, every meal is a prawn meal indeed and we love them all with equal gusto ❤️❤️❤️ 

One of the dish that we savour is Butter Garlic Prawns, you get them anywhere (not restricted to Goa), however the magic of the Goan beaches, cozy shacks, sand beneath your feet and oh the creamy butter garlic prawns.... 

Today, I was craving for the same and TGIF, I whipped some for a nice night with some beer, Cuba Libre, prawns, candles and our favourite music 😍😍 wish all evenings were made of this magic. 

See how I whipped up this simple and easy dish. 

Butter Garlic Prawns. 

Ingredients 

Around 12-14 medium sized cleaned prawns. 

Amul Butter 

Salt to taste 

Fresh ground pepper 

Lots of finely chopped garlic (according to your taste) 

A sprig of coriander finely chopped 

Method 

Add some butter in a pan on low heat, once the butter melts, add the prawns And sauté them till nicely done.

Remove from the heat and keep aside, you don't want them to be over cooked and hard. 

Add some more butter in the pan, sauté garlic till its golden brown. Now add the prawns, add salt, pepper according to taste. Add coriander and a dash of lemon . Give it all a nice stir. Tada,, ready to be devoured. 

They were really yum.. A little prawn dance to end it on a happy note 🍤🍤🍤

Bhakti

Simple it is ..

In every aspect of my life, I like simplicity. Be it in relationships, fashion, dialogue or any other aspect.

I hate to beat around the bush to say a simple thing, I like it to keep it honest and straightforward. 

I hate to complicate relationships, I just want them to be clear. 

I do not enjoy couture or fussed fashion, I like to keep it simple and comfortable at the very best. 

I don't like my house cluttered with unwanted gadgets and plush furniture, instead I love it cozy, earthy and simple. 

I enjoy the company of people who are near and dear to me and with whom I can be myself truly. I can't indulge in socialising with a hoard of people whom I barely know and with whom I need to keep appearances. 

Thus I have come to a conclusion that I am a simpleton at heart who loves and guards her small world with all her ferocity. 

In every aspect of life, for me, indeed simple it is .... simple life

Phantomised

This weekend was movie date.

Phantom was the movie released and immediately after Bajrangi Bhaijaan, a Kabir Khan movie came with lot of expectations. 

I wish Phantom was Phantomised itself. 

Within the first half hour itself, we started regretting our decision.

The movie starts really slow and maintains the same pace throughout, it fails to strike a cord and keep the audience on the edge of their seat. 

The performance is mediocre by everyone. 

It could have been a good watch, had more research gone in it. 

It comes across as a half hearted effort in haste. There is very little material, no meat on the bone.
The plot was shaky, the plans hatched in the movie are more left to chance.

The subject raised is really good though it has already been covered in similar movies like Baby.
Patriotic movie with a good intent, how we all wish it was true.
 

Disappointed in the movie, however I can't stop humming or watching the video of Afghan Jalebi. 

 

This is what I wore for our movie date.
