these days...

I have been spending a lot of time in my sun-soaked terrace...the summer solstice which was a couple of days back has been blessing us with some long bright days~

With balmy weather in Bangalore, here are some season's treasures and morning photographs that I clicked with a cup of chai in one hand...

Frangipanis pose and lure me with their intoxicating fragrance...

The hose-pipe coils itself around my feet...

Tulsi ( Holy Basil) seeds that have been hiding under the soil suddenly sprout green leaves after the rains...

...so does the Ficus.

Chameli ( A very fragrant Jasmine) is in season.

Some collected here for offering to the Gods in my pooja shrine.

In my garden there is a large place for sentiment.

My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams.

The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful.

Enjoy your day~

inscribed on my heart...

Once more my mind wanders off to Ladakh, probably because these tibetian chants have been playing on my laptop all day long...

While in Ladakh apart from the sublime fluttering flags seen everywhere, we came across some inscriptions on smooth round rocks and stones. We learnt that these are 'Mani stones' on which 'Om Mani Padme Hum'~ the universal mantra of Avalokiteshvara is inscribed.

These stones are regarded very sacred.

What a beautiful way of remembering Him.

Have a great day!

The Red River

I was introduced to The Red River , an organization based in North East India by Kakoli Das (one of the founders) a few weeks back and I loved their home and lifestyle products.

The Red River acts as a medium between the weavers from the North East and the markets, that will help them with sustainable income.

Have a look at some of their amazing collections of cushions~

These designs have been inspired by the weaving patterns of river bank settler community - the Misings (or the Miris)

Bright weaves and threadwork...

Stunning collection designed with re-purposed fabric swatches...

Varnasi-inspired bling embellishments on the cushions...

Here are their other very interesting home furnishings~
