Baby

2009-07-30T04:06:00.000-07:00

You are so innocent, so tender and so lovable. Your eyes are very straight forward and filled with confidence to do something good. When I see you i forget any shortcomings of life. When i touch you i get the softness of a rose petal and when i smell you it is so intoxicating and sweet. You are a beautiful flower in our garden. You are so special. I named you avishi meaning earth and i want you to take care of this earth when you grow up.

All Things Bright And Beautiful

2008-12-08T02:17:00.000-08:00

All things bright and beautiful

All creatures great and small

All things wise and wonderful

Thy Lord God made them all

Each little flower that opens

Each little bird that sings

He made their glowing colors

He made their tiny wings

O God if you have made all creatures great and small, if you have made the glowing colors of a beautiful flower and if you have made the bird that sings and if you have made the brightly colored butterflies then O God you must be pausing for sometime to observe THESE BEAUTIFUL CREATION OF YOURS.

You are also a part of NATURE isn't it? You are in that beautiful flower, you are in that small bird who sings that beautiful song. You are inside each and every creature of this world isn't it O God? But O God i often wonder are you inside a TERRORIST. If yes how can you behave that way. If not then WHO ARE THEY? and WHY DID YOU SEND THEM TO THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD OF YOURS?

Bed Of Marigold

2008-12-04T21:38:00.000-08:00

Marigolds are very bright colored and beautiful. The extracts of these flowers can be used for making fabric dyes. These natural dyes have an edge over the chemical dyes as the chemical dyes are toxic.

This is a model of a giraffe in a park.

Symbol Of Friendship

2008-12-02T00:42:00.000-08:00

Yellow rose is considered to symbolise friendship and these flowers speak a lot. But i never gift my friends with flowers because i don't want the flowers to be plucked. I don't offer flowers to God because i don't think that God has made flowers to be plucked. Whenever my small garden bears a flower i let it remain in the plant till it dries out. Then i pluck it and put it inside the mud and in due course of time it changes into humus which nourishes my plant.

Beauty of Nature

2008-11-27T04:04:00.001-08:00

We in today's world are preoccupied with so much problems that we don't even give a glance at the amazing beauty of nature. God has made the world beautiful but we have complicated things to such a extend that we can't enjoy it.

How can we enjoy the beauty of nature when a fellow county man is in danger, when so many innocent people die . O GOD SAVE US FROM TERRORISM, POVERTY, NATURAL CALAMITIES etc etc. so that we can live in PEACE and enjoy the beautiful creation of this WORLD.

Dragon Fly

2008-11-25T20:21:00.000-08:00

From ecological point of view the dragon flies are very beneficial insects.

In the nymph stage they stay in fresh water and feed on harmful insects larvae like mosquitoes and in the adult stage they feed on insects like mosquitoes, termites , spiders etc.

If we find dragon fly nymph in a pond or any other water body we can analyse that water body is healthy as dragon fly nymph can survive only in uncontaminated freshwater.

Moreover these are very beautiful insects. It is such a good sight to see them flying. They have very nice colors and the leaves like venation in their wings are just amazing.

Please Save Water

2008-11-24T01:37:00.000-08:00

Our world is facing the problem of water crisis and many of us are trying our best in managing water by making proper use of it. We all know that WATER IS PRECIOUS and we have to save it. Each and one of us should make it a point that not a drop should go waste, isn't?

But friends I came across a lady who told me that she had opened her water tap for one month when she went out for vacation because she has to give water bill even if she is not using the water.

I WAS SHOCKED! WHAT ABOUT YOU? What would you have to say for that lady?

Happy Birthday Chacha Nehru

2008-11-13T20:59:00.000-08:00

Today is 14th November Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's Birthday. He was the first prime minister of India.

We in India lovingly call him chacha nehru. He loved children and flowers very much. According to him children are like flowers in a garden who need to be CARED, NURTURED and LOVED as they are the future and foundation of a nation.

His birthday is celebrated as CHILDREN'S DAY.

THESE ARE THE PHOTOS OF FLOWERS CAPTURED FROM THE GARDEN OF ANAND BHAWAN, THE BIRTH PLACE OF PANDIT NEHRU.

The Sun Peeking Through The Trees

2008-11-11T05:03:00.000-08:00

Our earth is still very beautiful and habitable. Only thing is we have to take care to prevent further damage. It is not a very difficult thing to plant trees. Earth is still very favourable for trees. Adequate sunlight,water and soil is still available. Lets us plant as much trees we can and nature will SMILE BACK TO US.

Small Pink Flower In The Wild

2008-11-06T02:44:00.000-08:00

I have come to this earth to make it beautiful. I am a flower of a wild plant. I am definitely a part of nature created by God and I am aware that humans are causing lot of disturbances in nature, but I love humans because they are the only ones who can praise me. They can write poetry in praise of an ordinary flower like me. Without them life is without charm. So I consider them as my own. And of course I love their babies and children and my beauty is nothing in front of a "smile" by a cute baby. So I consider them also as a part of NATURE.

Welcome

2008-11-03T02:48:00.000-08:00

A bee flies out from its hive to collect nectar. It finds a beautiful flower and settles down to collect the nectar. The flower is also benefited by this. When people leave their homes to a different state in search for livelihood, they benefit that state also apart from earning their livelihood. So as a flower welcomes a bee we should also welcome such people. God has directed us to act in that way by showing it in NATURE.

Yellow Bunch

2008-10-31T01:42:00.000-07:00

Some ants are moving all round the bunch of flowers in search of necter perhaps. They can be seen if the photo is enlarged.

Carrying The Harvest

2008-10-29T02:04:00.000-07:00

These workers are carrying the harvest on the top of their heads. We may think that it is silly job as one can take a tractor or a power tiller to do the job but these hard workers are indeed contributing by preventing pollution to a certain extent. THANKS FOR KEEPING OUR ENVIRONMENT CLEAN.

Triveni Sangam

2008-10-23T22:57:00.000-07:00

Triveni sangam is the meeting place of three rivers GANGA, YAMUNA and

SARASWATI. It is in Allahabad, India.

This place is considered very holy by the Hindus. It is believed that a dip in this river purifies one's soul as a drop of necter had fell here from the hands of God. So thousands of people come here for the holy dip. Every twelve years the famous Kumbh Mela takes place here.

Pink Water Lilies

Green Cover For The Hills

2008-10-20T05:45:00.000-07:00

The hills look so nice from a distance when covered with green vegetation. These are the perfect habitat for the wild fauna. These hills were formed by a number of reasons like collision between plates of earth crust, glacial action, volanic activity etc.

Thanks

2008-09-24T22:51:00.000-07:00

•Thank you God for the beautiful creation of this world.

Plant More Trees

2008-09-24T22:15:00.000-07:00

We should plant more and more trees to save our earth. They will remove the excess carbon dioxide and cool our atmosphere as a result of transpiration and help us from the threat of "Global Warming". We can make our earth a more beautiful place to live by planting more and more trees.

I am a common house wife still then i have a urge to plant as many trees as i can in my life time. Doesn't matter the place where i plant is mine or not. I may not reap the fruits or get any benefit but i will get a great and divine satisfaction of doing something for my earth.

Potato Plant

2008-09-23T07:40:00.000-07:00

Vegetables can be very easily grown in containers and also require minimal care. We can use our terraces and balconys to grow these plants, if we don't have space. We can use old plastic or any other container to plant. Only we have to make sure that there is good drainage. We can do this by making holes at the base of these containers.

I had just sliced a small portion of a potato with a emerging shoot and had planted in a pot. Look how healthy the plant is.

2008-09-22T22:05:00.000-07:00

My heart fills with awe when i see something beautiful in nature. God has made this world beautiful but there are some people who don't care about nature and don't even hesitate to destroy nature for their own selfish needs. God please change the mind set of those people who are making our beautiful earth unsafe.

Poles Apart But With a Single Cause

2008-09-17T21:49:00.001-07:00

We are bud and thorn of the same plant but we are very different from each other. Bud is very delicate but beautiful with a sweet smell and gives a lot of pleasure to the observer.Thorn is very rough and tough and sharp and people don't like it. But the work of both is related, one has come to give its beauty and fragrance while the other has come to guard that beauty and fragrance. Therby both of us are contributing to make our world more beautiful.

Impartial

2008-09-17T21:49:00.000-07:00

I don't distinguish you people while giving my fragrance then why do you distinguish between yourselves. We are all God's children thereby all of us are related closely. Why are you fighting with each other and losing your valuable lives? Can't we all work together like members of a single family and make our lives more peaceful.

O God please send my papa back i promise i will be a good girl. Can any body bring my papa back? I request the people who killed my papa and many others in recent bombings to bring my papa back. No no no you can't bring him back any more then why did you send him away from me then? Who will play with me? Who will bring chocolates and dolls for me? Who will take the responsibility of my studies and the most important thing who can give me the love of MY PAPA?
