Who says life is not a bed of roses?

For me it was...on that delightful day!

Location: Mainau Island ,Germany

Of all flowers as the king
you have been acknowledged for ages,
giving every imagination a wing
to pen down never ending pages!

Your fiery red for love - the cause of many a unity,
Your chaste white for innocence and purity,
Your pink for happiness,the yellow for friendship & gaiety!

To me it is just marvelling at Nature's complex simplicity,
taking me back to fairy-like childhood days
of 'the Beast and the Beauty'!

Of Contrasts

Black against the pure white marble.
Reminiscent of life?

It is the chaste,clear & pure white which has given the evil, dark & deep black its rightful place. 

Traffic Signals Jammed

When I was at a place where not only are the Traffic Signals jammed but whole life permanently boils down to 'Red Lights'


Location: De Wallen, the largest and best-known red-light district in Amsterdam, a major tourist attraction!

Description: Narrow streets,thousands of people of all ages, all kinds of groups - children,old people, couples,groups of girls and ofcourse men, hundreds of sex shops, theatres, coffee shops perhaps selling marijuana and more, by far the most crowded and stuffed place witnessed in Europe ( I bet if everyone was to be queued up here the glorious 'Eiffel' would be put to shame), and the rather naive 20 year old totally totally amazed and bewildered by the tourism, business and hype created...thoughts and more thoughts...and only the sense of pity and hope for a scarlet cord to their rescue some day or some night...
