Pretty Picture of the Week

Jan 3, 2016 | Photography, Weekly Wonders

They say a picture speaks a thousand words.

I think sometimes, it may go well beyond that, especially if the picture triggers off an avalanche of beautiful memories and takes you off on a trip down memory lane.

Pykara Lake, Ooty, India

This is the beautiful Pykara Lake in Ooty, a quaint hill station in India; which is where I did my MBA from.

It is quite a long, steep walk to reach the Lake. The picture was taken from a mobile phone, about 10 years back, and still manages to make me nostalgic about the amazing time I have spent there.

It is with great thought that I chose this picture, to be this week’s as well as the last Pretty Picture of the Week.

One, because as we start a new journey, it’s great to reflect on past memories. With this picture, I hope to make you go down memory lane and make you nostalgic about your school or college days.

Two, because, as promised in The  Year That Was!, I’d like to announce the end of Weekly Wonders features, and this would be the best picture to do it with.

I hope you enjoyed viewing my Pretty Pictures as much as I did sharing them with you.

    It’s so amazing how visiting a place from your past can bring back a flood of memories as if they had only happened yesterday! And what a perfect spot for that “flood” metaphor, too!

    Lol. Interesting way to get responses, “telepathic systems are down.” You’re a witty a engaging writer. People are drawn to your words, because they feel your honesty in your writing. Maybe it’s telepathy after all. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Pool Shenanigans

I'm a water person. I spend hours taking pictures of water - whether it be a small water fountain or of waves crashing over the rocks or even tiny raindrops on the window. I even learnt swimming just so I could sit and play in the pool for hours on end. This picture...

Life is a narrow road, isn't it? It is full of difficult choices, steep falls, sharp twists and yet we manoeuvre through them all - sometimes through sheer grit and determination; sometimes through the support of family and friends. Being too philosophical, aren't I?...
