Wallpaper for December- A tribute to Mumbai

This month's wallpaper is a tribute to all those people who lost their lives in the Mumbai terror attack.May their soul rest in peace.

It is a tribute to those injured in the terror attack. Those who still lie in the hospital battling for their lives and peace of mind.

It is a tribute to all the Army personnel, the Marcos and the National Security Guards who fought to save the city and the hostages. They are truly courageous.

It is a tribute to all those selfless civilians who work at the "Taj", "Oberoi and Trident" hotels ,"Leopold " Cafe, "CST" railway station and "Cama" Hospital and those who lived in "Chabad House". They saved a lot of lives, some even lost their own life whilst saving the hostages.

It is a tribute to the survivors. I pray that they feel peaceful and safe when they sleep at night.

It is a tribute to the city of Mumbai, to each and every person living here. We all have been traumatized by this attack.


In the picture above - the background signifies the terror we have faced.
There is a white candle for peace. Peace in the city. Peace for the souls. Peace for the country.
The bird Represents our right to freedom from terror, terrorism and terrorists.

So many lives lost. So many families destroyed. Will we be able to forget horror of these three days?
Mumbai was considered one of the safest cities to venture out in the night. This attack just took that feeling of safety away from me.
Mumbai has a spirit. Mumbai will bounce back. Yes, We can!
However the spirit has taken a major beating this time. :-(
Do we have any other choice? We have to bounce back.
People in Mumbai cannot AFFORD to stay at home. Living in the city is expensive. Those of us who are privileged to live in this City have to work hard so that we have enough left for ourselves after the taxes (we pay 33% of india's taxes, that's 1/3rd of all of India's taxes ) have been deducted from our income.

Does the fact that the city bounces back every time it's been hit entice more terror attacks?

I am a citizen of Mumbai.
My daily prayers now include "God bless the people of Mumbai".

A little card for my mother

The above card was presented to my mother on her birthday.
She loves to get a handmade card from me and has a huge collection of these.
Making handmade cards are great fun. They make the person you giving it to feel very special. And whats more you give them a card that is just one of a kind. :-)

Wallpaper for September

"Om" - Peace and love is the theme for this months wallpaper for me.
Me thinks if everyone in the world would concentrate on living peacefully rather than all the negativity, hatred and chaos that we come across in our everyday lives the world would be a much healthier place to live in.

You are remembered and missed..

We lost my best friend's mother to cancer this month. :(
This wallpaper is my little dedication to her. The flowers are for her.
The quote says "Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy"
You are missed Aunty!

Wallpaper for July

" Rainnnn.. Rainnnnn.. Go away.. Come again some other day!" This used to be my mantra during the rains. The gods did listen to me but send the rains back on some other day with a vengence. It rained and how!

So now I just say that the Gods are crying... :D

Hmm.. Sigh! Not that I hate the rains.. It's great that everything gets washed and looks clean as ever. . however traveling is a big disaster!
Muck and dirt everywhere! Gosh.. Just a week of heavy rains completely changes the look of the roads! And then the flooding follows...

Anyways not the rains but the thought of venturing out into the concrete amazon ( so I term it) makes me blue during the monsoons..
Hmm hope the wallpaper above brightens your rainy day! :)

Hee hee... Too much of Honey I say..

Anyways.. May was a very hectic month for me.. Professionally and personally as well.
I now have niece. Her name is Nysa and she is an angel. Adorable to the core. So when I was not working in May, I was playing the role of a doting aunt. :) She has the most gorgeous smile ever. Hee.. I am in love all over again! :)
And the above wallpaper is a kind of dedication to her.
All of us in my family are like the bee however "Nysa" is like the teddy and is in her own zone right now and her honey is "Sleep". Waiting for my sleeping beauty to grow up a little....
