Easter 2012…

Homemade pancakes, fruit, mini cheesecakes served in a glass and tea. Easy but satisfactory.

“It’s impossible,” said pride. “It’s risky,” said experience. “It’s pointless,” said reason. “Give it a try,” whispered the heart.

What’s in a day. I love you everyday…

What’s in a day. I love you everyday…

What can one wish for 2012… The stock investors may go for profits from the sale of missiles. The military may think of strategic victories. The media think of rating boosts that comes with war… If we have to make a new years wish, mine is for a justly world and humanity.

Wishing you a wonderful time

I wish everybody a Holiday Season in which materialism does not dictates the success of Christmas. Hoping we stop measuring our love for each other by the value of ‘things’ we buy for them and start expressing it with sincere words and thoughts. I hope we will cut down on excessive spending, over-consuming, and wasting. 

I am hoping we’ll enjoy life’s real joys, instead of the artificial ones capitalism has made us believe in. I’m looking forward to a time in which we slow down and really listen to what dreams, hopes and fears our loved ones have. Let’s try to stop counting the pair of shoes we own and start counting our blessings. 

Wishing you a wonderful time.
