Indian Summerset

Indian Summerset Lilium
Dropping temperature
sprinkle drop lets at night
bringing fresh flowers
to bloom at gleam.
Fresh Bud
The summer set’s in
but still remarkable at height
where ridges and mountains
moisture like fresh flower buds.

Footnote: Indian Summerset Lilium was captured in Kodaikanal, and the pastel pink flower was so pretty catching our attention and the flower bud looked just fresh like out of shower was impressive!

Dad’s health cause

The last 5 days were not so good for us since dad health was little ill due to diarrhea and low sugar sent us to deep distress and once the diarrhea comes to halt, the low sugar sent him to shivering and slightly moving condition. One entire night he was restless between the bed and restroom and next day he was seen physically so weak and was forced to check the nearest clinic for medication and drips of glucose which gathered him strength but it doesn’t last as soon the sugar level decreased.

It went down as not so worrisome but the stressed intestine at other hand began to twist and pain and along with this he was mentally upset due to his condition and felt sorrow for not helping me on routines. Mom was indeed forced to take care of me single handedly with her already wrist and heels problem, it was impossible for me being easy and mind kept thinking about his health and wishing for a quick recovery.

On Monday he visited our family doctor and only later his health condition becomes better and again he took blood test on Tuesday which showed rise in blood sugar level as he didn’t take diabetic tablets in the confuse state on health and the cause of drips of glucose. He went out only late evening for a short walking after 4 days of suffering from health disaster and I could seen him little energetic now and bright smile on his face, which I wish last forever…

He’s also suppose to take a cataract operation at the end of the summer which has put forth lot of worries and if it is not for the surgery which has been nothing these days in the medical dictionary  taking care of me had been the worrisome for the three of us. Since after the surgery dad needs at least a month of rest for getting remedy and only mom has to take care of me, the toughness ahead really push back me thinking how could we balance… even though we express our grief of how to manage it seems senseless and words of void and feels so hopeless when no response for others, the so called dear ones.

Blue Dawn

Blue Dawn
The blue dawn

Purple at noon

Pink in the evening,

A day life

With different phases

Of shades and coloring,

The dawn breaks

After cold dewdrops rain

A relief from clumsy

How glorious

The morning glory

In ocean blue color

Delights till sun hides

At the end of the day

Fades away in magenta.

Footnote:  The Blue Dawn is a common name for the flower belongs to the morning glory family and native to India, Blue dawn blooms in the morning and fades away in evening. It’s a climbing shrub commonly found in hill stations and it scrambles over fencing and woody plants. The flowers bloom in dark blue and while in noon it turn purple and evening in pink. The flower above was capture in the noon on a roadside fencing at Kodaikanal.

Window's pane

Window's pane
The moisture window glass pane by Jeevan (clicked in Kodai)
The arrival of dawn
drawn into the home
through the window's pane.

The closed windows
reflects the life outside in
through the window's pane.

The ray of sun
passes the source of light
through the window's pane

The night breaks off
silently inside the room
through the window's pane

The life wake-up inside
only begins outside the windows
which I believe strongly
even though light passes
through the window's pane.

Family vacation @ Familiar location

Kodaikanal has been my favorite place since I began visiting and falling in love with this so called princess of hills and u might be checking blog posts on it lately and early here and I was there again last week-end with my dear once for a family vacation. We went as families of four in two cars and it was completely fun and enthusiastic unlike ever cheerful, remarkable and memorable trip.

Along with our families who are close to my heart
We booked at the CSI Retreat Center Homes which is close to the Kodaikanal Lake with lake view is a treat in itself. There is couple of individual homes and suites and dormitory available to the budget and according to the number of people and we took the Yorke House dormitory on the top of the center and thus felt more individual and enjoyed the isolation provided by the undisturbed environment and away from people.

We were quite oneness and worriless being there and together provide a platform for sharing and understanding the phase of life and it was after six year we all were together on a holiday vacation that too to the same place of Kodaikanal. We always travel or go as a vacation by 6 or 7 people what our SUV can accommodate and it was very long time wish to enjoy the holiday as a group of people very close to us either.

This time we explored a not well known and road less travelled destination on the northwest of Palani Hills and it was completely heaven site with pristine environment and freshwater lake and beside the terrace farming sleeps a pretty village alike Poombarai. Not to forget the leeches that are plenty ready to suck blood with no sense and the source provide there was bliss and solace to heart and the lake view through the winding road is an unwind sight.

Almost the vacation went off through passing mist, cold and rain and every time visiting there a change wait at phase and some places remains same and what worst was the traffic that lines the winding roads. Except staying atop the hills, the traveling was worst indeed through the heavy sunshine and only for this trip we woke up as early as 3am to avoid traveling under hot sun.
