@Home

Tree of Prosperity

Search, swirl, dive with zero fear,
We collect twigs and grass,
Flying miles everyday, 
We return to the same path.

Every tiny bit of sweat,
Every cell of tired feet,
Sings a soft lullaby,
On glowing signs of our street.

Blessed under the roof,
With family sitting by our side,
In the warmth of our abode,
Our happiness strides.

Amidst the cacophony we roam.
But...
Settling, retiring, cherishing @home.

We all love our homes and we make an extra effort to decorate it. My friends Priti and Shashank from kwikdeko.com gifted me this beautiful wall sticker (picture above), which they prefer calling wall decals. It's easy to use, causes no damage to the walls and is priced quite reasonably. It  adds style, elegance and character to the room. I loved the one they gifted me but you can find variety of designs for each of your rooms on their website. Thanks Priti and Shashank!

  18. Hi Saru, blissful to return to our abodes may not be always from cacophony to calmness, even in a tower of babels we find solace as home is where the heart is!!!

  19. I have been travelling a lot lately, but no matter where you go in the world, nothing beats the feeling of coming back home.

    Flying miles everyday,
    We return to the same path.

    No matter where our legs take us, we are walking back the same path always! But again, home is home only when love is found, peace lives.

    On a different note, so many of your posts to read!
