"Calm is all Nature as a Resting Wheel." By William Wordsworth


Calm is all nature as a resting wheel. 
The kine are couched upon the dewy grass; 
The horse alone, seen dimly as I pass, 
Is cropping audibly his later meal: 
Dark is the ground; a slumber seems to steal 
O'er vale, and mountain, and the starless sky. 
Now, in this blank of things, a harmony, 
Home-felt, and home-created, comes to heal 
That grief for which the senses still supply 
Fresh food; for only then, when memory
Is hushed, am I at rest. My Friends! restrain 
Those busy cares that would allay my pain; 
Oh! leave me to myself, nor let me feel 
The officious touch that makes me droop again.

''Rock Garden - Reduce,Reuse,Recycle''

I recently visited my uncle and cousins at ''Chandigarh'' and I must say there's a special charm of this city.it's small,green and cleaner then any metropolitan city in India.
This time I wanted to visit the very famous''Rock Garden''.it is a unique sculpture garden made by ''Nek chand' a government official who started the garden secretly in his spare time in 1957.the park has been made with everyday mundane possessions such as broken pots and bottles.he recycled these materials into his own vision of the divine kingdome of Sukrani in a gorge in a forest near Sukhna lake.it's truly splendid and a must visit if yiu happen to be in the city :) hope you like the pictures: 


''A cave room from where the Nek chand started his venture''


''A wall made only with old clay pots.nice concept and could be used to part the gardens at home''


''Cute and tiny clay-houses.I wonder if genomes and fairies live in there <3''


''there were many men made waterfalls!just amazing'' 



''This gorgeous arena is made with broken tiles and pots!''


''this men here is carrying a tray of broken teapot and cups wondering.Tea anyone? ^_^''

''Oh! and here's a bunch of statues embellished with broken glass bangles''

''haha..I guess they are missing there bicycle''

''I suppose it's Cleopatra or the queen of kingdom of Sukhrani''


''and this here is a rider on his cute pony''

I am so inspired by this whole scrape garden concept.there are many great ways we can eliminate waste and protect our environment.!I found these small clay pots lying on a terrace roof in my neighbor hood and I  painted it with acrylic colors and planted these small plants.

Some random pictures from my Journeys.I love wandering through unknown paths,walking in the woods and discovering new routes.some times I wonder if I'll die without seeing these charms nature has offered.No matter where I'll be and what I'll do,I always want to travel.

''Scott Mccloud's ZOT'' - Another Dimension in Graphic Novels







Though I have been a big fan of  Neil Gaiman's ''Sandman'' but I think Scott McCloud's ''Zot'' is the most versatile and brilliant superhero series.
Mccloud  creates such a seamless reading experience that it doesn't feel like reading but like being there.his characters are so vivid that they seem to be real and compelling.

If your a Graphic novel fan you really can't miss on this.Also visit http://scottmccloud.com
Am a big FAN!!!
