NOTA or no NOTA...

I feel very awkward when I’m asked which political party I support. I wonder what they would establish after I give them my favorite. Are they looking for a same pinch moment there or are they looking for a debating moment to launch their arguing skills with the political knowledge they have gathered so far? In either case I’ll be disappointing them. I don’t get into such debates anymore that lead to nothing but high pitched voices and anyway, I might just push the NOTA button. But then, the man who is contesting from our area is worth my precious vote irrespective of his party ideologies, so… who knows.

With the family issues finally settling down, I have a challenge to manage many pending matters. The challenger is yours truly and looks like exciting days are ahead, eh! *winks*
There were many people who helped me through this phase (my friends; not naming anyone). You guys made it a smooth ride. Thank you…and lots of hugs and love!

How can I let go of you without a dose of today’s photo. So, here is a photuu of one of my Gendaa-Gadrilis, exclusively from our French-window garden. Doesn’t she look happy? :D

 

Saturday Morning Guests!

I picked up Tolstoy but found myself not in a mood to have my mind occupy with any reading. I kept the book back to its place and went to the window. The multi-petal hibiscus plant was leaning towards the marigold flowers. May be they were gossiping about the new entrant, the plant with lanky stems and pretty pink flowers- I'm not sure what it's called, but it's their neighbor now.

The crape jasmine looked quite contended in its own corner beside the single petal hibiscus that looked droopy. I checked the clock; it was seven in the morning-Ah! Sleepy heads. The roses however looked fresh and happy, keen to welcome the day and have fun with the sun and the wind. I smiled as their keenness energized me.

I steered my gaze towards the Lily plants, the buds were yet to show up-mom has been waiting eagerly for them for quite sometime. I tenderly stroked the blade of one of its leaves. I was admiring nature's creation when a beautiful butterfly flew in.  It was black with golden spots on the nether of its wings. It wandered over the flowers resting in between on the curry leaf plant. I recognized it; Common Mormon.

A voice interrupted my experience, it said, "Beta, time for your shower" and thus my Saturday morning tryst with nature came to an end.

Psst… there are two common Mormon caterpillars on our curry leaf plant now.

  Today, I just didn't have anything else to write about so thought would bore you with this piece.

P. S.: I lost a follower today even before publishing this post. Looks like my previous post had it's side effects.
