Beautiful Lantana


I captured these stunning beauties at Vizag on a terrace. They had grown wild near a tank, thanks to the birds for the seed dispersal.

This variety of Lantana is called Eggs and Ham due to the dominant yellow pink and orange hues in the flowers(hehe nice name huh!),  love the flowers but the smell of the plant is a no-no to me.

I captured Lantanas in many colors check out this link for the other flowers. Lantana camara

Floral chandelier



This picture was captured at a wedding venue in Hyderabad by my sister.

Love the way various orchids, chrysanthemums and asparagus leaves were assembled to make a lovely chandelier, they did make lovely centerpieces throughout the mandap,

Taj Mahal of Rice

Yeah! you heard it right.

Take a look.


Captured this amazing piece of art at Shilparamam, Hyderabad.

I was just blown away looking at the workman ship and the finesse of this art.

This great work was accomplished by a master crafts man called ANAND (9676653187) using rice and erolite in a duration of 6 months, tough eh!!!

Every nook and corner is made of rice, there was a replica of Eiffel tower too.

Kudos to the craftsman, btw it costs 2 lakhs INR (JUST IN CASE YOU ARE INTERESTED).

Lord's Glory



Took this picture on our way to Hyderabad from Pune.


Am very alto-phobic, so i was worried as it was my first flight, but thanks to my darling hubby who kept monitoring me....and the scary height no longer bothered me, rather the flight was a pleasant and a very wonderful first time experience.

The most awesome-st thing about the journey was that I could see the clouds in all their grandeur...at a few places they were scattered, few places like a plain which was as vast as a beautiful playground, few were rain clouds, ah...just cant stop describing their beauty(the description may seem strange but pardon me...coz this is my first time).

The moment I liked the most was when the sun was shining at its brightest and the clouds looked as if they had a golden lining around....oh!....can't stop praising The Almighty for His wonderful creation. Glory be to Him and Him alone. And this scene kept me wondering as to how the heaven would look like, when His creation could be this beautiful, then just imagine how beautiful His abode is gonna be!
