 Happy Easter

to my Dear Readers

March 30th 2024

I am in Grimsby, came from Reading two days ago. Beautiful morning 9 C, sunny and bright. Grimsby is small town, I come here so often to see my daughter, her friends and colleagues, know me well. They had a get together last night, I was also invited. It was good, I enjoyed, got couple of gifts too. 

I started my journey from Reading, from my youngest daughter's place, on 28th morning at 9.30 am. Her husband drove me and my son to King Cross station. It was great, straight forward, just one  train for two hours to Doncaster and from the same platform, for one and half hours to Grimsby town. 

It was nice of my daughter and her husband, otherwise we had to go to Woking station to Waterloo, change to tube and trains to go to King Cross, to get trains for Grimsby. Traffic in London is very unpredictable. My daughter reached home, at Reading in three hours from King Cross. 

Young generation is smart, they don't like to drive. It is very easy to get tickets, speed signs go on changing. It is difficult to keep track. Lanes are narrow, if by mistake, you enter bus lane for just a second, it will be disaster. You get sixty pounds ticket in mail. Cameras are everywhere, watching you all the time. 

Yesterday, I went to Lincoln side, in the afternoon, beautiful scenic area. It was about sunset time. Sky was full of orange hue, on the left, while on the other side, all shades of blue, looking very scenic. Lincoln is one hour drive from my daughter's place, Grimsby.

    Beautiful morning sunny and bright. No more rain. We had already more than enough of it. Grass and flowers, don't need any watering. It is 26 C, hot day.   This is weekend, I have to do my hair color. My friend invited me for afternoon tea. I will go there. It is always good to be with friends and family. We have to accept invitations, to make our day. I think, calls are sort of blessings. Signals from God for us to gather happiness. Life is nearly the same for everyone. It is all up to us, how we take it.  Try to give color to the moments in hand. Sitting idle, doing nothing, won't bring happiness. Try to be active, do something, anything you like to do. Go for walk, to look the scenery around.  Some people like outdoors, some not. They like to be indoors. Find the spot of your choice in your garden / balcony, get book / magazine of your interest, to be happy. Bird watching is beautiful. You feel great, watching them doing things, you get invo...

Nature is great

     October 29th 2024 It's a different scenario today. Cloudy morning hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his gray blanket. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today at the library. It is a day off for me. I have to make other plans to make my day. Day offs are like clean slates. We have to write our schedule to fill out the columns of the day. When we have to go to work or school, our timings are all set.  We don't have to worry about how to pass our time. We have just a couple of hours left to sort out after coming back from our workplace or school. Weekends and day offs are tricky. We need some homework to fill out our day slots. Try to make it like a combo, a mixed plate to have a taste of everything. Day offs are like blank sheets. We can write, paint, whatever we want to do, to fill out. Every day is like a container with twenty four hours of consignment. It's delivered every morning.  We have to open it and use to finish it up. It all has to ...

      October 22nd 2024 Great morning 18C. It is like summer for Canadians. Couple of more days to enjoy the outdoors.  Beautiful leaves of all colors are everywhere giving a scenic look to the atmosphere to behold and to cherish these moments. Nature is amazing. There is always something for we Humans to make our day. Take some time off from your day today to look around. You will find beauty everywhere. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you live. Don't have to plan for long trips. It is all at your doorsteps. Keep your eyes open and take a break to smell the nature around. You will get the flavor and also inner peace deep down. It will be a rare happiness all on its own. You don't have to make any payments, any investments for that. Just a time alone slot and all the transactions will be done. It works like meditation. It's 11.45, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my small tea, not coffee today. We have to change our menu too. It works something like a change...
