Soul Companion

Hope U guys got correct, I want to write something about Rex, My darling husband....Its nearly seven wonderful years of our relationship, We have crossed many ups n downs, But still we walk hand in hand...I have to say that I'm proud of him. I have never even given him a card expressing love, he doesn't like it, he often says its other people's emotion...Now by writing this I feel to convey my emotions to him.

Rex, is not only a husband to me, He is my guardian, only friend I have, my teacher, my kiddo, my hatred, my bliss...my passion everything, he falls in all part of my thought. Then, one wise thing, I have done in my whole life is marrying this sweet hearted person.

Love is an emotional intellectual energy which drive all persons, U may think emotion is less than intellectual, but its not true. Intellect can know pieces of life, Emotion knows wholeness of life. Yes I'm feeling the wholeness now... And my devotion as a wife has increased.

Love is a sweet emotional energy of nature binding chemically. Thou, after, all chemical reaction's satisfied and with no demands, The Oneness we share is eternal...In English we quote as Falling in Love is significant, they don't mean standing r climbing...falling is some part of u, go and accomodate other, which is a good thing , somebody there to catch u whenever u fall...this best thing is happening to us all time...Rex, In many ways we have different dimensions, but still we weave to one other very well. After all proforma, our relationship has entered a new level.

There is no compulsiveness in our relationship. When we think all about ourself, there is no beauty in the marriage, U think for me and I think for you makes our relationship a miracle.

Whether it may be Prem Jousha, Greek music, Long drive without destination u enjoy as much I do. This feeling we share is ineffable. I Love you to my death....

A Date on a Rainy Saturday Afternoon

Isn't it intresting,the tittle...Uhhh you may think a date!!! for a maried woman? Yeah, A date not with XX or XY chromosomes. Its with coffee and the shop. Monmouth Coffee Company, this is the shop I'm talking about. These days Markets became more fascinating for me, to watch new faces in the foreign land. Hmm..thats how I came across this shop.Last friday I googled about markets in London, Borough market was quiet intresting cause, its centuries old and deals about foods from all around the world. When deep inside my search, every article regarding it mentioned about this coffee shop. So I made a note to visit it. Reached London after the congestion hours of saturday,maybe around half pass two.

Set beneath the railway tracks with Victorian-style warehouse roof, the finest food market took my mind to a confused state. I didn't know what I'm in search of. Wandered the lanes of the Green Market, the food smell there, was not soothing me,coz of my vegeteranism. This led me to walk the opposite side of the market. There I saw the sign of Monmouth Coffee. It sensed me imediately that, coffee was need of an hour. I walked straightly to the shop...queue was quite long. Waited for my turn to the till, looking the menu board for the coffee to my taste, Read filter coffee with latte on the board,Hmm the degree coffee back at home,the aroma of the coffee made me to close my eyes for a second. I sensed my presence with a voice of a worker from the barista, with a paper cup and a marker in hand. All of the sudden I didn't realize what was she asking me...Ahh she was getting my order and noted in the cup...Remember how they take order in the busy restaurants, That happened here too, for a coffee.

Got my cuppa coffee and found a place to sit in the center of the hall. Took a first sip, with the smell of roasted beans in the air, the atmosphere was enchating. The bitterness of the filter coffee and light taste of brown sugar....hmm felt like...I didnt know how it felt, u will feel the same when u taste one here.

In the middle of buzzing sound of chit chatters, I saw an observer marking a sketch, lovers with intimate talks...it took me to an other era. Hmm for sure I enjoyed. Rex was not there with me during this visit. So again I entered the shop within some 20 minutes, this time I wanted Rex to feel the same.

Market closes by 5P.M, so hurried inside to take a glance.There is a shop which sell Ostrich meat and eggs. Amazed to see the shop. As it was over crowded couldn't able to take a snap. Wandered again the gastro lane and had some Brownies with walnut and a custard tart. Just take a look of some photgraphs of the stalls in the market.


Its was an end of other beautiful day. Before leaving the market went to the coffee shop to continue my date. Had a cappuccino.With the brown sugar sprinkled over it, every sip and lick felt like heaven. I'm not a coffee expert, but the smooth consistency of the foam lathered on the top, sweetness of the milk and the bitterness of the coffeee it felt like innocent and pure. Twilght entered the sky...My date has turned to Love.....

Uno,Columbia Market

Its three months me came to UK, I wanna visit Tower Bridge from my childhood, Finally made it last week, after two failed efforts of viewing Tower bridge by night. Actually, viewed it in the evening after a visit to Columbia Market. The market was full of energy, lovely spring air with smell of the flowers and lots of sunshine. I like watching people, so this place entertained me very well. Buzziling with the crowd on The Mothers day weekend, I got involved with my camera, may be amateur...but thriving to capture the best. The shops were amazing, little expensive compared to India. After walking the lane twice, squeezing through the crowd,purchased some flowering pots to my garden. Irish music in the air, enjoyed spanish tortillas with peppers for the lunch. Hmm..show u some photographs of the market...

The performers were amazing, I nearly enjoyed it for an hour. The crowd's involvement made the performers to give a good music. There was an observer like me who made a beautiful sketch of the scene.

It was only afternoon, the market is upto 2.30pm, So again dashed into the Crowd to make some last minute purchase. Prices were low coz of the closing time, finally picked some cactus and a beautiful Orchid.On the way back out, found an other singer whose feel, filled the place so romantic. There were some suprise instruments accompanying the song from windows above the shops, which made the show more intresting.



Ohh!!! the market journey finally came to an end with beautiful memories of vibrant colour and sound. As me and Rex didn't feel to go home, we headed our mission to Tower bridge. This time we suceeded finding a carpark near the tower bridge. We walked with memories of Rex last trip to the bridge. To me, a first time visitor it was an awesome experience to catch the bridge opening for a cruise.

Its was nearing six in the evening, we didn't feel going home, Passion to the city and photography drived us to view The Big Ben, and The london Eye. With the lights on, it was a terrific view of the Thames. With the energy from the Pancakes near the bridge, we were shooting some amazing stills till half pass eight.

The quest came to an end and we reached home back to Luton, with some Symphony music in the radio and the cherished memories.
