Reflection - a haiku



By the lake I stood
Gazing at the calm waters
In which fell the moon

Clouds - a haiku



Fluffy snow white clouds
Or baby angels' laundry
Hanging out to dry?

The City of Dubai -a haiku



Where the sand dunes danced,
Now tall skyscrapers romance
The clear blue skies

How time flies!






We celebrated our Mahi's 17th birthday on 28 October. It seems like yesterday that we had just become parents of a beautiful, bouncy baby girl who looked at the world with bright, wide eyes filled with wonder....we remember the first day...the day she rolled over.... the day she sat up... crawled...took her first step...spoke her first word which of course was 'mamamamama'......17 years have passed. To-day she is a vivacious, chirpy teenager brimming with confidence and cheerfulness. These pictures are spaced out 17 years in time. From a wee little babe, she has transformed into a young woman. You can see how the parents have changed too! May God bless our dear little one and give her many more wonderful birthdays to celebrate. May God bless all the children of the world and give them happy homes and loving parents....

Five Go To Disneyland!



Hey, did you hear that? The Famous Five team is getting a twenty-first century make-over. Disney is making an animated series of the adventurous five who kept us glued to the Famous Five books in our childhood. But this time it is their descendants that are going to take us on an adventure trail. Gone are Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timmy. Enter their techno-savvy kids with laptops and mobile phones: Max, Dylan, Allie, Jo and Timmy-II.

Jo is the group's leader - she is the daughter of George and an Indian named Ravi whom she met on a mountaineering expedition in the Himalayas. Hmm...quite interesting. Could be the lead to an interesting love story between tomboy George and the conservative, orthodox Indian...

Max - the son of Julian – enjoys thrill-seeking activities including surfing. He is outgoing and athletic and has a shock of blond hair.

Dylan is Dick's son and lives in the city. He wears a hoodie and carries a laptop, video camera and mobile phone and is described as the "entrepreneur".

And Allie, the daughter of Anne has matching headband, T-shirt and wristband and is constantly on her mobile phone to her friends back home.

It is interesting to imagine that all the original Famous Five adventures would have ended differently if Julian and his team had mobile phones. The police would have been just a call away in most situations which had sent our pulses racing...
