A Necklace with character

In the Sun, the Mondaynoon Eternal Love Teardrop Swarovski Elements Crystal Pendant in Olive shines its green sparkles on your hand, if it gets closer to the necklace. The necklace is closer to a choker length than a princess one. There's some variable length to the chain.The chain has tiny twisted links with flat stations at about every digit length. My favourite part of this pendant is the bail. It has two twirls, thicker than the necklace with white stones embedded into it. The necklace loops through the bigger twirl, while the smaller twirl overhang is wrapped onto the pendant.Part of the twirl is left plain which heightens the texture of the embedded part. Overall, the solidness of the tear drop pendant is set well against the fluidity of the twirl and the links of the chain.

The girl wants to pull a
wagon cart
her mom thinks too heavy
for her

I am waiting for her
to figure how to
pull out
the upright handle

There seemed an
indentation for a
finger grip
may be that is it

In few minutes
she pulled the
handle by herself
and pulled the cart
away

out of the zoo
where
a girl was standing
not walking
not waiting to leave
even after closing time
She didnt want to leave
so she didnt want to budge

Aquamarine

According to the Smithsonian, Aquamarine has the same origins as Emerald, its the minerals that are in it, that gives them their different colours.


Yesterday, the Moon was golden and big. I have always approached this from west and on foot. Last night we drove towards it from the east. With each pole we passed, it seemed like there was one main pole, where we would stop seeing it, but it kept bouncing pole after pole.

We are going to the Zoo

We went to the Phoenix Zoo today. I have been there other times, volunteering at some of the exhibits - Monkey Village, Koala Exhibit, cleaning up Oryx Display.

Even though most of the animals are familiar ones, what struck me about the animals was their behaviour. Today we saw a rhino take a leak, it was powerful but when science kicks in, the say is that larger animals dont take any longer to leak. The rhino went back to chowing the grass. And then it moved on to the other part of its station. It did seem interesting to see what a Rhino does the whole day. It did seem like we caught all the other animals at their sleeping time.

We saw a lion sleep on the side with one of its legs up in the air. looks like armadillos do sleep with their legs up in the air. the tiger exhibit was quiet with the Sumatran tiger sleeping somewhere at the bottom of the raised exhibit. Once you get a closer look, you can still see, though lying seemingly dead, its huge. A Mandrill too took to the bed, but the baboons were busy grooming.

A Mom Orangutan surprised everybody standing spatchcocked against the glass and then took a blanket and covered herself in it. Maybe she was feeding the baby or putting her to bed.

I had seen adult komodo before, this time it was a young Komodo on exhibit. The adult was not out in the open as its too cold.

As a kid, every afternoon, looking up at the hige blobs of white in the sky, I used to think.. Cotton.. And in this book the view from space of the clouds, still they look the same.. Cotton.

pamper the Baby

Bassinet is such a short time stage, a couple of months. So it seems like a pack n playard with bassinet will just be fine for the job. But Summer Infant Soothe and Sleep Bassinet is too adorable to begin with. When I held the motor it seemed like it had a jiggly thing in it. later I realised this is how the soother gets its mojo of gently rocking and vibrating the bassinet. And along with it are soothing classical music, gurgling water, bird sounds and womb sounds (reminds me of ultra sound). The canopy doesnt hold well in place.

Housewarming Gift

My wife's boss brought us candles for housewarming and said that in it is Korean tradition to present something that burns.
My husband then added that in Indian tradition, a father should not gift his daughter anything related to fire, for marriage.
In Korean, if you are married, it means you met your spouse 10000 ties, in previous life?

Portrait of a Superman

On a red velvet sheet
a man's head in pencil

and where his arm should be
is a reptile in pencil on white
its tail being his palm side

make a Superman's
side profile
with his power
suffusing the whole

Bubble finger

Suddenly a quarter of the room
had soap bubbles
With so many in the air
I became a child
like all the other twos
I held my finger tips so
the bubbles would stick

Once that achieved
I tried transferring it
to other kids, but
the bubbles didnt survive

Then came stacking the bubbles
one on another
I counted till ten.

I didnt realise that unsent letters could be so much fun. The Twitter feeds and the lists are funny.
The author's replies to the conversation heard as a third party listener is a two-tier privilege to the reader.
If the authors neighbies are so dumb, I am surprised how he hasnt moved. I still didnt get how the author has become a better person. And if the author has decoded the female brain then the next book should be 'What girls want?'.

The Unimaginable

3 and 1/2 stars
I was very intrigued by the story. I never read a romance that takes place abroad for the characters. And to think of the heroine trying to save herself, who doesnt want to be in that place.
The setting of a foreign land and the shores add up for a catchy tale. The main characters emotional baggage is well portrayed. Another supporting character too is well sketched while the traditional romance novels dont leave the focus from the main characters. The most striking thing about the book is the adventure and the risk that it involves , which adds the texture of things going awry.
The book is way too long for a romance novel. Its not going to be a quick stress buster like a Harlequin or M&B. But the length also gave the author a chance to flesh out her characters to know them more than superficially.
