The week in pictures

It is surprising that even amid the daily commuting

and working and celebrations

I found time to take pictures for the monthly challenge.

Spontaneous and as and when I remembered the prompts

but I did take pictures.

The only handy tool that I had was my mobile

(I cannot carry fancy cameras to my work place

and I have not had the time to charge the batteries either)

so please bear with me the results.

10th April, 2012 : Prompt - Cold

The Ice cube tray ... 

Refrigerator is the first thing that strikes me as cold

Not that we are finding much use of it till now

(and it is mid-April already)

it is still cold outside ... chilly, rainy and windy

Cold also reminds me of the annual ritual of preserving the peas for their affordable use in summers

Steamed, boiled and stacked away in zip-lock bags in the freezer ... we are ready to face the summers

11th April, 2012 : Prompt - Where you ate breakfast

My bedroom

Not a great idea

but I have my breakfasts early these days

and it sounds cold to eat alone in the dining room

So, my bedroom is the safest and coziest place

12th April, 2012 : Prompt - Stairs

The idea struck me en-route to office and I clicked it from the window seat of the bus I was travelling in.

The bus having halted here, further improved my chances.

But originally I had wanted to do the spiral stairs of my own home for this prompt.

May be some other time ...

13th April, 2012 : Prompt - Something you found

This morning I found another packet of books waiting for me

So that my closet now looks something like this ...

Who said teaching is easy ... trust me being a student was far better ...

Last year, I found this belt for myself at a thrift store.

I was visiting my relatives and I had forgotten to carry my belt with me.

At the time when I bought it, I had hoped it would last me as long as the trip ...

But it has been a year now and it is still going good.

So, I guess economy shopping also works sometimes (only sometimes).

14th April, 2012 : Prompt - How you feel today

I have just the thing I need for this prompt -

Harjas (my elder nephew) likes this art of mine - has not allowed me to discard the paper in waste.

 I know I am going to be surprised with a replica of this drawing soon.

Hope you had an exciting week as well.

Happy and Merry Sunday.
