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".

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! :)

oops I missed May... but here's one for June! :)

I love the bee in the pic above. Had used it in the wallpaper for feb.. There it was holding an umbrella.
And now its holding honey for her honey who is thinking about his honey..
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....

Dreamz and me!

I loved the "Wizard of Oz"
Especially the song" somewhere over the rainbow" in it.. :)
Here is a quick wallpaper I created inspired by an extract from the song.
It reads " Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true"
Lots of cooling colours for this heat!

Wallpaper for April

I went for short vacation to Chandigarh. Beautiful city.. So peaceful. Hardly heard any cars honking. And amazing greenery.. Fresh, colourful flowers everywhere one went.. so pretty..
I took some pictures and the one below is my favorite of the lot.. I captioned it " Happy Happy flowers."
And I love it so much that I converted it into my wallpaper for the month. Yellow and orange seem to be the colours of the season for me.. :)

Summer time

Can you feel the heat nowadays?
I quite like it! Everyday is bright sunny day! :)
I have a twelve year old nephew. He wanted to play a colour game. He asked me to list down all the colours that I do not like on a piece of paper.
My list after about fifteen minutes was still blank. I realized that there isn't one colour that I don't like. I love some more than the others but dislike none.
Here is a wallpaper with some summer colours for you. Yellow, Orange, Red and the very bright white. Don't they all look super together? :)

Go Gurlzz!!

I am not a feminist.
However I strongly believe that power, position and age do not give anyone the rights to undermine another person. Nothing does!
Hmm.. last evening over a long walk at Carter road, me and a couple girl friends shared our collective experiences of certain episodes that we've faced in the past.
I am not saying that girls struggle more than guys because I believe that times have changed and each person gets a chance to prove themselves. So ultimately it is up to them to take it or leave it.
However there are still some people out there who belong to the old school of thoughts. These are the ones who "still" give girls grief. *roll eyes*
Hmm.. So this month I decided to hoot for Girl power..
" Go Gurlzzz ! " :)
I created the above wallpaper based on this theme. The result I say is gonna be one of my all time favorites. :)

Skulls anyone?

Skulls anyone? :)
Not that I am a big fan of skulls anymore. . . Was once upon a time.. Had a huge collection of everything skull like.. Thankfully for my parents I have gotten over that phase and moved over to much more pleasant looking things.. say like butterflies.. :P
Some people argue that butterflies are the most done thing now.. But hey .. I like them!
Anyways.. back to the skull. So someone asked me to make a tattoo design for him.. and he wanted skulls on his arms..
The above picture is the design I put together however without the background of course..
That I put in to make it look pretty for my desktop! ;)

Wah SRK Wah! ( Hindi for Wow SRK Wow!)

Hey I just saw Om Shanti Om.. Did I like it? Yes.. Will you like it? I dont know! :P
I just thought that these guys must have had a lot of fun making the film. It came through to the audience.
Anyways I like Mr Shahrukh Khan in the lover boy roles. I remember being glued to the television during his "Fauji" days. I say chaps you rock! ;)
I loved the spoof (in OSO) on himself during the award ceremony) :) If he can laugh on himself then he must be a good human being.
Anyways there is a certain drool factor in this movie. His fab abs.. Wow me thinks he looked his best in the fireman do..
Hmm so I visited the OSO website. And they have given away free posters of SRK. While I think he looks great I chose to modify the poster a little to grace my desktop!
You can get the original here www.omshantiomfilm.com.
The site warns people that sale, duplication or transfer of any material on the site is strictly prohibited.
So I am not selling it. Nor transferring it. And this one could qualify as a semi original because of the edits.
And the above picture is my version!
Ain't he an angel!!
So gals Drool all the way! ;)

Spirituality.

Spirituality, its a growing phenomenon. Its always been there. Just that everyone now wants to be spiritual. Everyone wants a bite of the pie. Not everyone knows how though.
With so many spiritual camps out there you really don't have to look so hard for finding out where you could learn how to be spiritual, how to get in touch with the light within and how to seek energy from the universe? They all teach the same thing. Only the styles differ.
The question is do we have to join one? Aren't there enough books on spirituality out there that could teach us?
Well the answer according to me is Yes and Yes.
I have some angels in my life who coax me into reading a book or two sometime. And though I really like what I read, I do not understand some of it. Or you could say my mind was not open enough to it.

Sometime back I took up the Art of living course. I don't have any earth shattering experiences (like some people who have done this course have experienced) to share however it did change a lot up things for me. All the knowledge that I earlier read in the books suddenly made more sense. And to add to it the course taught me some wonderful breathing exercises that can be really good stress busters (I can swear by this). And while we at it I must tell you that going to the class and sharing some experience with some different people helps too. And I got to meet some really great people :-)

The above picture is a wallpaper that I did inspired by spirituality.

Flutterflies..

Butterflies.. One of my favorite motives. Me thinks when God was in a mood of having some creative fun, he brought out his paint brush and splashed some colour on nature's canvas and gave it life n voila what we got were pretty pretty butterflies.
This is one of my creations dedicated to these flutterflies.
