  • The home that was! The walls and the well-ventilated rooms of this beautiful flat that bore witness to ten eventful years of our lives...in blissful joy and pain, in comfort and warmth, in hope and despair, in the blacks, the whites and the greys of our lives, in colour and sepia and every mood and emotion that one would have gone through...until, the momentous morning when I stood alone, my breath echoing my silence and masking my tears with the sole hope that the memories of this home will be etched on our hearts forever! Those gorgeous dawns and the magical dusks that we enjoyed through the seasons are now history! And just in case I never told you this before-Skygirl has lost her Sunset skies too! 😌 But, then, life brings along new beginnings and with it come new challenges and somedays we seek the comfort of familiar surroundings to help ease our pain and cushion our uncertainties and the stumbling blocks that a new setup brings. . But, new beginnings will happen because that’s the way life goes... . Adieu, my beautiful home...you will be dearly dearly missed! . #biddinggoodbye #movingforward #movinghomestressesmeout #ihategoodbyes #tenyearsgone #leavingwithmemoriesforlife #myhomeforever❤️ #missingmyoldhome #makingnewmemories #oldisgold #memories💕 #ourbeautifulhome❤️ #shiftingagain #itsthattimeinourlives #farewellhomesweethome #homesweethome🏡
  • Grateful to Life! Through every battle and the ups and the downs, I realise I’m still immature, still make mistakes and still learning the ropes! I hope there’ll come a day when I’m truly happy, contented and stop reflecting on how not to repeat my mistakes! Still gullible, still fumbling and still laughing at silly jokes as I wipe my tears, pick up the pieces and march on. Life goes on, year on year, nothing changes it seems and none the wiser, the same old me keeps going on. Grateful to life for everything, for the good times and the not so good ones because they’ve made me ‘me’, warts and all. A work in progress, but hopefully getting there, one step at a time! Grateful. Accepting. Resilient. Survivor. Deep heartfelt gratitude to Life, once again! ❤️ . . #reflections #thoughtfulmode #wednesdayvibes #wordywednesday #birthdaywisdom #anotheryearolderbutnotwiser #lifelessonslearnedthehardway #schoolofhardknocks #jugglinglife #curveballseason #ginkakuji #japantrip2019 #bestofjapan #beautifuldestinations #soulful

  • “No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.” – Lin Yutang . . As a child, I read about faraway places and my soaring imagination wove a thousand stories around them. I always dreamt of travelling far far away into another world. . Many years later, that dream comes true and here I am from an exciting whirlwind of a trip. I realise at the end of my two weeks of travel that I am no longer the same person as I was, before I set off! The journey of a thousand miles can take one deeper into introspecting on a myriad things one saw, felt and understood. It was quite an experience to be honest! . . Do follow my stories over the coming weeks where I will be sharing my beautiful journey into the Land of the Rising Sun! . #japan_vacations #mindblowingplace #tripaddicts #traveladdicts #travelgram #instatravelgram #latergram #adventurelife #mindfullife #backfromvacay #familyvacay #flightography #skyview #skylovers_clouds #família #lonelyplanet #travelphotography #travelholic #skyhighviews☁️✈️ . #travelblogger #chasinglight #passionpassport #wanderlust #joyful #happyme #bangaloreblogger

  • Every once in a while, I look back at those magical years and it gets me all misty-eyed! . . This is Mr A at age four. Kovalam beach. The kid loved playing outdoors and while on holiday, would wake us up at the wee hours, pleading to take him down to the beach with his bucket full of toys! The sun was very strong and I was a bit hesitant, but seeing him make that “sad puppy look”, just had to give in. . . While I did carry a book to read that morning, I recall putting it away and getting down on all fours to play with him. We spent the best part of the morning playing on the sand and that look of pure unadulterated joy was too priceless to let go! . . The afternoon was spent in the pool with father and son playing in the water while I tucked into my book. Our joy didn’t last very long because by evening, the kid came down with high fever and wheezing. . . For the next three days, we stayed indoors mostly, ensuring medicines, inhalers and nebulisers were taken on time, to facilitate a speedy recovery. We played board games and read stories together, pausing to rest every once in a while. . . On our last evening, the hubby and I stepped out for a walk after dusk, and since the kid felt somewhat better, he decided to enjoy a little play time at the recreation centre, much to our relief, while we had a few minutes to ourselves before heading back to the hotel. . . Little kids are hard work, but it’s all worth it. Right now, I can vouch for one thing though- they are certainly easier to handle than a teen! 😅 . . #10yearsago #memories #familyvacay #beachday #momlifeishard #happydays #momandson #familytravel #keralatrip #preschooler #joysofparenting #parentinglife #throwbackpost #familytrip #lookingbackintime #favouriteplace #kovalambeach #keralatrip #travellingwithkids #mom
  • I love skywatching. It gives me peace, and fills me with wonder.

  • “Someone I loved once, gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too was a gift.” Mary Oliver . . Would there be light without darkness?

  • “Be there for others but never leave yourself behind.” Dodinsky . . . We’ve all been raised to put others’ needs first and then look after ourselves, lest people perceive us to be selfish. So, we go on auto-pilot filling everyone else’s cup till we have nothing left for ourselves. . . Ever wondered why, in an aeroplane, they tell you to put on your seat belt first, before helping the others? . . If you’re wondering, there is a reason. Because self-care is essential to our well-being. Self-care comes from within and it nourishes and nurtures us even when we are leading busy lives, trying to balance the needs of the family along with the demands of the workplace. . **New post alert on the blog www.mysoultalks.com** . . #nurtureyourself #selfcareroutine #nourishyourself #fillyourcup #selfcarehacks #lifehacksformoms #busymomlife #selfcaregoals #pledgetofillyourcupfirst #youcandoit #everybodyneedsit #saywhynotme #healingthroughwisdom #findyourhappy #selfreminder #gettingthere #gettingitdone
  • Getting those colouring pens out after what feels like ages! 😊 . A little twist to the serenity prayer that I’ve shared in the previous post! Some days, this prayer is all that you need to get you through another day. I can tell you, it sure does, for me! . 🌸 . #myserenityprayer🙏 #ianenough #ditchthedrama #lifegoeson #lifehacks #gettingthroughit #nothingiseasyinlife #findyourpeace #lifelessonslearnedthehardway #thoughtfulmode #keepingthefaith #faithandhope #gettingbacktoshape #mindbodysouljourney #positivevibes #morningmotivation #thoughtstoponder #writerslife #writingdaily #dailyinspirations
