Grid

A grid is a network of lines that cross each other to form a series of squares or rectangles.

Usually, we avoid having them in our photograph but have captured these subjects in the frame. This week I get to showcase them below.

Looking at the above photos, I feel as I am behind a cage. Maybe, they think the same.

Mount Mary Church and Bandra Fair

Mount Mary Church is located on a small hill facing the ocean. It is a semi-Gothic style structure which was built over 100 years ago. Legend states that Mother Mary’s statue is much older around 16th century.

With the month of September setting in, it was Mother Mary’s birthday on September 8. The following week is the Bandra fair. With the Bandra fair beginning this week, the church and its ground have a festive look. Over thousands of devotees come to this church every year from all over the country and not just Mumbai. The duration of the fair is of 8 days which is part of the annual Feast of Our Lady of the Mount celebrations.

Monochromatic-2

Chocolate is the healthy food for the soul.

Life is like a chocolate box,

Each chocolate is like a portion of life,

Some are crunchy, some are nutty,

Some are soft, but all are delicious

Life without chocolate is too terrible to contemplate

Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty. John Ruskin

Namaste
I honor the place in you
in which the entire universe dwells.
I honor the place in you
which is of Love, and of Truth,
of Light and of Peace.
When you are in that place in you
and I am in that place in me.
We are One.
