corner view: water


i saw gigantic water drops stuck in a glass window
capturing life in its reflections

empty your mind, be formless, be shapeless-like water. now you pour water into a cup it becomes the cup, you pour water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you pour it in the teacup, it becomes the teacup. now water can flow or it can crash. be water my friend.

free your mind

weekend wanderings: spontaneity

husband and i are spontaneous beings. we feel caged by routine and run as far away from it as possible. living for the moment and making the most of it while it lasts: has been our mantra for life. no planned excursions, no planned dates, no valentines day forced confessions of love, no gifts when they are expected the most. nope, nothing of the sort.

so this sunday inspite of lack of sleep, extreme tiredness and exhaustion, somehow the happenings of our day unfolded itself quite beautifully. we had a plan. we dropped little N at his grandparents in the morning, i had a round of meetings which i managed by gulping down a sugarless, dark, grande and then we had planned to go home and sleep through the rest of the evening.

but as we got closer to home, the chaotic view of the city with its jagged skyline and meandering streets looked so very inviting that a detour seemed totally reasonable. the rest of the evening we walked around, laughed, cracked jokes, laughed some more, window shopped, discovered some interesting neighborhoods and simply spent some unplanned, spontaneous time together.

who needs sleep when their is a life to be lived!

corner view: souvenir

Last week i joined corner view courtesy of spain daily and this is my first take at it.
My favorite souvenir from Toronto would be the congestion at Kensington market, where cars fight the narrowness of the streets and pedestrians mock at the drivers. A sort of free will prevails amongst the people, who cross the streets as they like, sing on the streets and entertain passerbys. where you can enjoy the best burritos in the world!



In its proximity is China Town, my all time favorite, where you can find anything and everything under the sky. Where the shops pour out onto the sidewalks, where the smell of fish pervades the atmosphere and the whole street is like eye candy.

and high fashion casually walks by...


Yes, this for me is a typical souvenir of Toronto. You can find more corner views from around the world and their souvenirs at spain daily.
