I’d purchased a pink Dahlia a few months back. It was such a nice dark magenta-pink. It was so attractive. There was one fully bloomed flower and 2-3 buds during purchase. The second bud also bloomed. The problem started just when the third bud was about to bloom. The potted…

I clicked this pic when I had gone to the play area inside our apartment complex. When I was trying to think of a caption, the first thing that came to mind was “Fall (the season)” But it is not fall season now, spring is right around the corner. I…

Each plant in my balcony has a story to tell. Some of failure and death, some of second chances and good yields. Today I thought of sharing about the red hibiscus. My mom had always wanted a red hibiscus plant. She likes it and it brings out her childhood memories…

Continue reading →: A short trip to the mountains
We recently went on a trip to a small hill station nearby, over the weekend. It was a quiet little place, not much crowded – not much places to see, so not much of a tourist crowd, so no traffic. Only 14 hairpin bends and we managed to climb up…

I was reading Daniel chapter 10. It mentions Daniel receiving a vision 3 weeks earlier that had troubled him greatly and he had fasted/mourned about it, for the past 3 weeks. Now he gets a vision, those around him don’t see it but they are overwhelmed with fear and they…
