Old is Gold!

Memories. 

A snapshot of life-events. 

Sometimes, forgotten in the sands of time. 

Sometimes, gulped by monstrous storms. 

Sometimes, hidden in a treasure-box - waiting to be re-discovered one day....

I too have a sweet memory. A timeless memory, still alive! In fact, the witness... of togetherness... an analog wrist watch!

An analog wrist watch. It has many strong competitors - digital wrist watch, pulse rate wrist watch, mobile-cum-wrist watch... and the list goes on! Eventually, they are all add-ons to the original! The beauty lies in how three hands and a dozen numbers communicate throughout the day, for days... till the battery needs a change! It is in the journey of these three hands, that we witness the various plays of life, with varying roles! With each role comes a different personality and a new you! But what remains inside, is the ORIGINAL you! And YOU are different!

My analog wrist watch was a wonderful gift on a wonderful life-event. Its factory-made bands kept changing, but the clock remains the same! There was a point when I realized that the band can be unique, not like the crowd of factory-made! "How about some hand-made stuff?", I thought. That's when I put on my thinking hats to design what would best go with a symbol of memory. MY memory.

A band with beads or a band with charms? Wow! Choices to make already! Eventually, the whole process is another memory, which would be my constant companion, whatever the time!

A timeless memory

A set of three with a story!

Black. 
Absence of light.
Absence of colour.
Absence of motion.

The sense of vision at a complete halt.

A gentle breeze gives a tingling feeling of goosebumps. Complete silence broken by the rustle of leaves. A burst of moonlight as the clouds part ways like a layer of curtains. Darkness broken... giving way to a hidden mystery in the twilight.

Twinkling stars with unique stories, brighten up the sky with a dash of glamour and life. A pale palette of colours unfolding its way making each object evident.

Two birds. Exact opposites. Same species.

A colourful, handsome peacock. A gorgeous, white peahen. Seated, on trees suiting their persona. Taking a breathtaking view of the moon, a magic unfolds...

OM sweet home!

Marigold. Radiating vibrant visual and aromatic energy. A spring season welcome with the very first bloom in my balcony garden. What a beautiful sight!

Days passed.

Two, three, four....  The plant looked like a polka dot pattern! Nature is truly an inspiration!

Days passed.

A pest attack. The plant started losing its life. Disaster.

Days passed.

A sprout. From the very first dried marigold that fell in the soil. A Hope. Happiness.

Nature has its own ways of healing.

This inspired a creation. Radiating a positive energy. OM sweet home.
