Happy Brainstorming :)

Sometimes, we tend to overlook a smaller artistry when an enormous occasion beckons us in the form of celebratious extravaganza. The same happened when I, tagged with my family went to witness an evening of our biggest festival ‘Durga Puja’.

            Amid the huge masses that gathered at the pandal to watch the evening proceedings of the festival, there was something that caught my attention.

            It was a fabulous display of some pencil sketches (by an artist named ‘Sathi’) that made me to halt there and notice the craftsmanship and brilliant thoughts that went in the making of  such meaningful sketches straight from the enclaves of the mind.

            I took the opportunity to put my newly bought cam phone in the best of use and went on a photo-clicking spree. I stopped there to pamper my grey cells with my own insights about the thoughtful stories encrypted behind each sketches.


 So, friends! What about indulging ourselves into some interesting brainstorming blog session???

            Come on! Dive deep into the sketches below.

1.

2.3.

            Use your lateral thinking powers to grace the sketches each with a suitable title along with your own insights about each one of them.

 

            The artist’s reflections on these sketches to be updated soon in the next post once the brainstorming session ends merrily.

 

All the best friends! Make use of your grey cells to its best!

Happy brainstorming! Enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

Am I Alive???


I was

Still

A bud

Yet to be

Bloomed.

In Hands

Of my own

Admirer

I was

Ushered 

To

Doom. 


Still

I am

Alive.

With my

Petals torn

Apart,

Innocence

Smashed,

And

My soul…

Trampled!!!

Celebrating LiFe !!!



17.09.07 - One of the most beautiful days of my Life!

The day was a defining one; that marked the usher of MY WHITE WINDOW a year ago.
How can I transpire my emotions into words today on this momentous occasion of my blog's 1st Anniversary! How can I sum up all the feelings of friendship, sisterhood, appreciation from varied quarters and the generosity received as delectable garnishes in this Bloggerville!

As the sun dawned on the eastern sky in shades of crimson on the 17th SEP, I opened MY WHITE WINDOW in the jubilant usher of its first anniversary. And as the feeling sinks in, I am gripped with a sense of pride, achievement, and celebration.

The journey has been a fulfilled experience.

The blessed journey from One baby stepped autumn to another fledgling autumn, the soul searching spree with my till then undiscovered emotions, the morph of a beautiful girl into the drapes of a Poetess(a title conferred upon by a friend of mine)----------My WHITE WINDOW reflects everything that's ME.

WHITE WINDOW brought alive a world of my own, that I can build by penning down notes from my heart's strings, it gave me my sisterly friends, it gave me AN EXISTENCE, a sense of being here.
I am thankful to God and to all of you for being so wonderful and encouraging throughout, without you MY WHITE WINDOW, would never have leaped into the radiance of Bloggerville..

Also to top up this occasion and to extend my happiness horizons, I hereby announce that on this day itself my White Window is entering into a life full of marital bliss with one of its closest and dearest friends “A Rubix cube” who shares the same birthday. To read White Window’s love letter to Rubix Cube click here. Today is not an ordinary day because both the partners are celebrating their first birthday anniversary as well as their marriage ceremony. All the inhabitants of bloggerland, you all are cordially invited to this auspicious ceremony along with oodles of love and blessings. And please don’t forget to bring in gifts; after all they have created history by becoming the first ever couple of bloggerville.
Even though the actual birthday was yesterday, i decided to continue the celebrations even today for it is such a big occasion that doesn’t happen to be daily.
And on this grand occasion to celebrate three ceremonies together I have not only one guest post for you but three. So go ahead.. Read them and enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyy

So here comes my first guest post by none other than my soul-sister "Lenu Janu"...


Blogging is an art. Not in a way that you have to write and everything you write is supposed to be the art. Well, no, it is more than just writing. It is when you share your thoughts, emotions, feelings, memories and stay true to yourself and to your readers. It is when you let your own emotions impact someone else. It is when one word on the pages of your blog can change the life of someone you don’t even know.With your words you have to paint, to paint the answers to the questions everyone has in their mind. And only when you have love in your heart, wisdom will come from your soul. And someone else, as confused as you are, might get their own answers.

One year ago someone close to my heart asked to listen to the colors of her life. I didn’t know that girl back then but I am happy I do now. With her poems she opens another world, so different from the one we live in and still it is the same one. With her care and love she does her small bit of changing the world for better. She is talking to us the way not many can, like only angels do… straight from the window of her heart, the white window.

Blogging is indeed an art, but not the art of writing like many think, more like the art of understanding, motivating, caring, encouraging and the art of friendship. If you read the posts on White Window, you will learn what this art is. It is not what we say or write, it is how we do this. And during the last year, starting September 17th, 2007, the author of this blog, my dear Preetu, did it the best way. Like everyone should, straight from her loving heart.

I wish many more beautiful years to the White Window and expect more posts from this cute sweet smart-silly girl who I know wont let us down.
Happy Birthday, White Window!! :)

And here comes the much awaited love letter by the handsome hunk A RUBIX CUBE to her beautiful lass WHITE WINDOW ;)

Dearest White Window,

Happy happy birthday and also wishing US a very happy married life ahead :P. This day seems
to be the perfect time to tell you what you mean to me, and hence I grab this golden opportunity to shower as much love as I can through words…and only words.

Window, I think I should be thankful to the Haven for having introduced you to me. The first time I saw you, was on 11th of Jan 2008. How can I

forget that day dear, I was so mesmerized by your beauty…err layout :P and those beautiful words you have used for accomplishing the haiku tag. Since then we have been the best of friends…loving caring and sharing the joys, sorrows and the innermost secrets.

When did the friendship take the shape of love? Well I guess it was when you took a long break from blogging and I started missing you like something-misses-something :P. But thank god for blessing the world with Dr. Cooper who invented the cell phone through which we have never failed to remain in contact…oh those long hours we spent over the phone…I miss those days badly. Now that we are starting a new life together, I think we are no more in the need of a cell phone. So let us first say thanks and goodbye to Dr. Cooper.

You really can’t imagine the immense joy and excitement that I’ve been feeling about the fact that we are getting married to each other on the same day we both have entered into this world of blogging. I hope we will stay together to fight every storm that comes through our way.

*I LOVE YOU*

Yours and only yours forever,

The Rubix Cube

Now comes the sweetest guest post by my Angel Dadimum "Sameera"


Come rain or sunshine, blossom or storm
May the White Window always remain open
Bringing on a smile, spreading joys galore
Let there be light in this space time & again.



Happy Birthday dear White Window :)

What these three angels mean to me can never be described in mere words and I am not even trying to explain it to them out of two reasons. Firstly because I know i would fail to do so and secondly they know what they mean to me(this one is the main reason out of the two).

Thanks to each and every reader of my blog. You all are a fountain of love, support and encouragement.

Life has never been the same again since I started blogging. It helped me to discover a new and creative side of me which was waiting desperately to be explored. For the past one year “My White Window” has been there with me through every think and thin of my life. Like a best friend it has supported me. It has made me realize the very essence of life that “life is beautiful and so am I”. Yes it is my white window’s birthday today and this special post is a tribute to my "White Window".

It was a long post. thankyou all for being so kind and reading it to the end.

last but not the least here is a very old poem of mine which has always remain close to my heart,

Oh my sweet li’l window.
Alwys remain wide open
Through you I see a world
Which never existed before.
You are
my friend …my strength …my hope.
A pure reflection of my soul
You are such a shadow of mine
Which is purely eternal.
I don’t want to keep myself
Hidden from d world any more.
Through you I want to explore
The world and my soul.
And the connection in between the two.

We are mad/bad and Divvi is sweet sweet :)

"With a heart of gold and a pearly soul
You have come on this earth
To play a divine role.
The meaning of friendship
Became more deep
The seed of your love
The moment you have reaped.
You are the friendship queen
Who reins my heart
Along with Sami & Lenu
Divvu, you top the chart.
Lucky is me to know this soul divine
Blessed is me to have you in my life.
Deep from my heart I always pray for you
And today every bit of my prayer wishes
To You "

~~~***~~~

Dear Divs, I wrote this one sometime back when I promised you that my next post will be on you but due to my internet prob...was not able to do it then, so i am posting it now...

"A heart of gold and a soul of pearl
Are the possessions of this silly girl.
Sometime naughty and always cute
You can never keep this chatter box on mute.
Full of life and bubbly to the core
You always want her more and more.
If for one day only you don’t talk to her
It feels as if your life has blurred.
Always concerned she is for you
And will paint your life in every hue.
I am so lucky to have her in my life
And she is my one n only
“Shona chimpu divvu- the divine”

*****

Dearest shona Divvu. I know that you are aware of my love for you. On this lucky day these two poems are my small token of love for you. Mujhe pata hai tujhe pasand aayega. Can't post anything else re not even your chocs. Have exam tommorow. Mom will scold if I reach home late. waise bhi der to ho hi gayi hai :P

Love you dher sara my chimpuuuuuuuuuuu! May all your wishes come true.

Muahhhhhhhhhhh!

“Beauty and the Beast”

For last few months I did not blog because I was not able to write anything at all. People say that I was suffering from writer’s block. Overcoming this so called writer’s block I made a comeback and now I am writing like never before. I love writing and thus I am taking the full advantage of this peak time.

But sigh! My Airtel GPRS connection betrayed me badly…I still regret that why on earth I took this connection. Now when I am writing almost everyday and enjoying blogging again; I don’t have net connection at home.

My internet connection loves playing hide n seek with me. :(

On top of that my final exams are just around the corner and my mountain like syllabus is crackling and making all kind of strange faces at me all the time. So my mom has got another strong reason for not permitting me to have the internet connection till the time my exams are over.

“Bad luck kharab hona!” Shayad ise hi kahate hai! :(

Sorry friends for not visiting your blogs. Will try to blog and bloghopp whenever I will get the chance but chances are very low… almost nil… grrrrrrrr

May be this beautiful tag is my last post before I get my internet back. The reason for doing it is that rite now I am in my college lab so I don’t have much time to post anything else.

Sorry shona divvu. Hugggsssssss

The name of this tag is “flicker mosaic tag”. First saw it in anoops’s blog and because of its uniqueness I fell in love with it that very moment. I was so excited to have my own mosaic that I made one even before shalini tagged me. Thank god I made my mosaic before hand. Now I have got something handy/ready to post at this very crucial moment.

The rules are:
1. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
2. Using only the first page of results, and pick one image.
3. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into Big Huge Lab’s Mosaic Maker to create a mosaic of the picture answers.

The questions:
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food? right now?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. What is your favorite drink?
7. What is your dream vacation?
8. What is your favorite dessert?
9. What do you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. What is one word that describes you?
12. What is your user name?

And now... here I present my mosaic........
Wowwww! Isn’t my mosaic beautiful? … Any idea about the answers?

I tag: Sami, Lena, Divvu, Stephen, Rajesh, Jo, Kalyan, Sandhya, Rambler, Priya.

I will be back soon. Till then don’t forget my white window.

Happy blogging!

Oh wait! Are you able to relate my post and the title of it?
Yes? …wowww! But no prizes for it :D. Do let me know what have you guessed.
No? … At your own risk…Keep guessing. :P

Take care… enjoyyyyyyyy!
