Here is my response to Cee’s Black & White Challenge – toys for kids or adults . I should thank my toddler for these pictures ! 😉
Today is the ‘Festival of lights’ , DIWALI , in India. Hence ,I think it to be an apt occasion to accept one of the two rewards , bestowed upon me in the recent times – One lovely blog award , express my gratitude and spread the joy ,as Diwali is the time for sharing gifts !!!
I take this opportunity to thank Rashmi , of soul n spirit blog , for considering me deserving enough for this award. Rashmi comes across to me as a very positive and inspiring person and her blog , is a reflection of her. Her posts , exude a lot of warmth and optimism , that passes on to the reader as well. The fun element in her writings and her travel photographs , are a great way to know her and India , better. I love the way she includes the elements of Indian culture , capturing its essence through her writings and pictures.So if you haven’t already checked out her blog ,you must ,without delay 😉
Now for the rules to follow ,once nominated :
Now since I am done with the first two points ,time to move to the third , that is SEVEN FACTS ABOUT ME :
So now ,time to nominate a few favorite blogs , ( I shall not be nominating 15 right away , but shall keep adding new blogs as and when I find them ! ) though some of you may have been nominated a zillion times before or perhaps have a NO- REWARD POLICY and I completely appreciate that , but I shall still be nominating you as a token of my appreciation for you work….
As I said , will be upgrading my list soon……….And coming up a new post for my ‘PREMIO DARDOS AWARD‘…..
Till then , adieu and happy diwali to all 😀

Death is inevitable !
This fact I have known..
This ‘life’ is not ‘stable’
-the one we call ‘our own‘….
Every second is a ‘breath’ lost
every year – a candle blown
‘Mortality’ is the dreaded cost
we pay , to be as ‘humans’ born..
The day I saw my grandpa’s corpse ..
lying still before my eyes ;
That day this truth, before me dawned –
‘Every human being dies’
Some die young , some die old
A few , have time enough to plan
Some unlucky ones are never told
Others have just life ‘began’
So here is my advice to all …
‘Live life while you can’
Express your feelings, make that call……
Help someone needy , and be a good man !
