Chasing The Snow

It was a fine weekend morning. Got up bit late. The normal schedule of calling Ani remained as usual. Simply moved the hotel curtains to gaze at the opposite garden. But what welcomed my eyes was the snowing. Grabbed the jacket and the camera, then ran out to click the pictures. Took the below video instead.


I was walking in the snow while shooting this video. The tiny snow particles hit my face and it felt wonderful. Chasing the snow is great...

When The Earth Turned White

Just being in the snow and enjoying the fall was a dream for me. More or less like how I enjoy the rain. It was a weekend. I didn't know what to do that weekend. I have seen the place before. Almost all the nook and corners. So there wasn't any interest to even walk outside.

The first channel on the TV was the weather forecast. And they told that it is going to snow. I looked out the window. No sign of snow and chuckled the sadness out of my face. 

Then it was the evening. Got tired of being inside the hotel room. Located the nearest Indian restaurant and walked towards it.

And then it happened. From nowhere it began to snow. The tiny white particles came settling down. I watched it with wonder and excitement. And lot many people joined with me. It was the best snowfall in my life. All those places which I though I've already seen, turned into a magical white places. It was beautiful, covered in white...



These were the first group of people who were enjoying the snow fall. They were throwing snow balls at everybody around them, even at the vehicles (crazy!!!). They even threw one to me too. Look closer in the above picture. You can spot the snow ball in mid-flight towards me :) That was awesome...



I did make some snow balls and enjoyed my crafting skills. And I did miss Ani joining the fun.




Walked couple of miles enjoying the snow covered terrain. Those places looked very different that I have seen them before.

Out In The Garden

Another weekend in Scotland. A quiet one. Apart from some official catch-ups, didn't have any special plans for the day. Said NO to the room service for the second time. 

Thought of taking a walk in the garden near by. Dressed up in the jacket and muffler and walked out of the hotel. There was a wedding event happening at the hotel, all happy people around.


Grabbed a coffee and walked into the garden. Well, it was pretty quiet there too. Apart from one guy who was feeding the pigeons and squirrels close to the entrance. He was quite enjoying the sharing. 


It was windy and pretty cold out there. Sun was trying to peek out of the clouds in vain. But I did enjoy the walk. Fresh air and clear mind is precious. 


I've been to this place before, but everything is changed with the season. I had to tell to myself that its the very same place. Where are those flowers which were there?


Just followed the path where it lead, took different directions at the cross roads and it was really fun to walk around. Only difference - no sweating. I was still shivering.












Another blessed weekend!

Another Week Away From Home

It is another week in Scotland, far far away from home. It was indeed tough to pursue this travel. If you ask me whether I miss my dear ones, the answer is a bold 'YES'. Eagerly awaiting for them to join me. Still I got my dear ones back there. All is for good and that is what I want to believe.

Everyone has a reason for making decisions. The only one I wanted was to make a decision in agreement with my Jesus. Things were fuzzy at times even though the plans will not happen, however the situations turned in favor, with far more blessings embedded.

Walking Is A Big Deal

Finally the walking milestone came to pass. We were anxious about this event, but as God is in control, things happens on time :)
