Life in Technicolor

It's a warm Sunday afternoon in April. Most people are indoors, snoozing after a heavy Sunday lunch. Oscar sleeps on , in the cool verandah, swishing at flies, maybe in his dreams, cause I see none. The pigeon nesting in the attic, is cooing softly. It's been about half an hour and she goes on. Almost like a snore- rising and falling. The big Gulmohar tree across the road, is full in bloom, swishing merrily in the warm April breeze. The ground below is beautifully adorned with red & yellow petals. Reminding the passersby of the beautiful yesterday that was.  The afternoon is so still that even the squirrel on the mango tree is nowhere to be seen. Sunday lunches are always heavy, ending with sweet ripe mangoes. It's understood that one has to save some space for the juicy mangoes. You aren't allowed to refuse!

So, since the past few days, I've had too many things on my mind. Too many to keep a tab of them, myself! Hence the wordcloud.  I used a cool internet application to depict all of it on my mind. And I've still missed many such as writing, presentations, blog, events etc.

Like any other lover of books, I usually avoid giving away my books. I donate some every year, but there are hundred others, which I like to re-read. Till a few days, I was in a dilemma over this as the shelf had literally no space to accommodate any more books & every other space had been eaten up too. It was then that I heard about BoxMySpace while browsing the internet.  The box used for storage Boxmyspace is a simple and secure storage solution which helps people store their unwanted stuff and clear up space in their home and office.

Lately, I've been shopping online quite frequently. The e-bug finally bit me! I used to shop for big ticket electronic items earlier as well, but this time, I bought clothes, FMCG items & fresh fruits online. Various reasons for this. The sweltering heat forbade me from stepping outside except for office. I'm always lazy to shop & wait till the need becomes super urgent No time- though this item appears repeatedly on my list throughout the year 

“50 % off”- says a huge billboard on the Western Express Highway in Mumbai. Placed at an important & busy traffic light juncture, it definitely attracts innumerable eye balls in a day. I’m sure all of us at least once has responded to such an advertisement luring us to visit that store and make a purchase.
