• Bali Diaries 3 – From Gilli to Seminyak

  

  It was a 2 hour drive from Padang Bai port  to Seminyak; 50 kms of farm land and black sand beaches. After the boat ride from Gilli to Padang Bai, we were more than grateful for the little pleasures offered, one of which was the air-conditioner in the car that took us to our destination.…

• A Day in Pelling…A Day of Bonding

  

  On the 28th of December, we awoke in Pelling, well rested and warm, thanks to the heater provided by the hotel, that deluded us into believing that the weather in Pelling was better than Gangtok. ‘Better’ as in warmer.

  Carpe Diem weekend-meditation #6 Kamishibai challenge:   Today’s challenge was to write a Haibun in which we had to use the Haiku provided by Chèvrefeuille. A Haibun involves writing a haiku and prose.  Kamishibai (紙芝居), literally “paper drama”, is a form of storytelling that originated in Japanese Buddhist temples in the 12th century, where monks used emakimono…

• Carpe Diem #1253 : A Thousand Candles

  

  Seeing the picture provided today as part of Carpe-Diem challenge, brought back a vivid memory of a little girl I had seen on the street, in Hoi An, Vietnam. Have posted a picture of her (at the end), though not as clear as the one provided in the challenge. Seeing the picture will help you…
