Water is also calming. Especially the sea. Yes, I’m quite aware that this is not the sea though, haha. But it’s not always that I get to see other bodies of of water that’s not the sea. Perhaps one thing I miss the most since my school days is seeing the sea everyday. . . . This was taken in Orissa or Odisha, last December. Pictures here is a Tulsi plant, a common feature in most Hindu households (that’s what the media tells us at least). My colleagues told me that most of the time it’s sent down generations and most carry it forward as a result of have been exposed to the tradition since their childhood. . . . Google tells me that according to scriptures, Tulsi is believed to be Lord Vishnu’s consort and the plant in a household can invite good luck and prosperity and in some cases, predict the future as well. Who knew!
But can we spend some time talking about water scarcity? It’s not #WorldWaterDay I know, but we don’t have to wait till such a day to talk about these things. . . This was taken in Afghanistan. Yes, I was there on work, nothing illegal or shady and let’s leave it at that 😀 This picture was also taken while we were at dinner, outdoors. Apparently, in Kabul at least, it’s pretty common to have wet/dry seasons or summer/winter seasons - I’m not sure which really. . . But Afghanistan among other things, has a serious water problem. Nearly two-thirds of their water flows into neighbouring Pakistan and Turkmenistan and the country has to make special provisions to rehabilitate their irrigation systems. It’s an uncommon sight to see people drink table water. It’s bottled water, everywhere. It’s also a single brand of bottled water too. It’s not something me as a Sri Lankan can neither agree too (the single use plastic situation) nor relate to (the lack of access to clean water). But we still try to save water, whether it is when washing your vegetables or washing your car. . . . Also, pools are pretty cool, especially at night with a string of lights hanging over it’s head.
I’m doing something different this time. Instead of posting three pictures at once and stressing myself over writing captions and what not, I thought stretching them out would be a better idea, you know what I mean? 😀 . . Speaking of ideas and other things, have you ever been fascinated by nature? For me I think it’s sunsets, sunrises and water bodies. Maybe it’s glorious views too. More on that later though. . . I’m not a water baby though, don’t get me wrong. I can neither swim nor float to save my life. In fact I don’t even stay in the water for too long because I get a cold coz of my phlegm and then go a sneezathon. . . Regardless though, water still does fascinate me very much. From it’s seemingly calmness to the actual depth of what’s inside. From it’s ability to stay afloat and still despite what’s going on it the world and most importantly being able to unleash it all when shit gets real.
Lonely purple flowers by the beach. . . . @rebelinpurple think all these purple flowers must make you happy. . . . #thinksunny #vsco #lategram #india #puri #odisha #iphone #vscocam #vscodaily #instagood #travel #travelgram #picoftheday #wander #wanderlust #flowers #worktrip #beach #purple
When @tashi84 and I thought we were the prettiest flowers amidst the rest 💁🏽‍♀️ . . . Also thank heavens for self-timers and mini-tripods. Imagine telling someone to take this picture of us. . . . #thinksunny #vsco #lategram #srilanka #iphone #vscocam #vscodaily #instagood #travel #travelgram #picoftheday #wander #wanderlust #flowers #bluelotus #waterlily #holiday #polonnaruwa #ruins
I’m not going to lie. I am not really half the gardener @sabina16 is. Watering plants and pulling out weeds is as far as it goes. . . But taking pictures of flowers is something I seem to enjoy. Here is my grid of three of water lilies / blue lotuses. . . . . . . . . #thinksunny #vsco #lategram #srilanka #iphone #vscocam #vscodaily #instagood #travel #travelgram #picoftheday #wander #wanderlust #flowers #bluelotus #waterlily #holiday #hotel
