To another year

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself." 

~ Neil Gaiman

Wishing you and yours a wonderful 2014. 

May you find love and sunshine wherever you go. 

Farewell September

"September: it was the most beautiful of words, he'd always felt, evoking orange flowers, swallows and regret."

~ Alexander Theroux

Come October and it will all be about spreading the joy - puja and its colourful air, glittering diyas and aromatic sweets, fat pumpkins and lovely pies. 
And yes, bucket-loads of bright chrysanthemums and smiles galore.
