Indeed, difficult times behind us. Challenges lay ahead. I wish us all the energy, intelligence and optimism to discover our potential.
The picture on the post looks so much like pooja...initially i thought that finally u have made a sketch pooja..Was wondering at the colors though...
A Happy New Year to both of you,,,Lets pray for a Better tommorrow.
Meraj, tere mooh mein ghee shakkar!
for those who need an interpretation:
Translated that means "may your words come true"
translitterated that means "may your mouth be filled with all things sweet (ghee and sugar)"
2008 was a great year - it was personally one of my best, doubt very much if 2009 will top it, but hope it does:-)
Hi,
thats a very beautiful painting...hope to c it in your living room the next time i am there.
NEW YEARS GREETINGS HAVE BECOME JUST A RITUALS FOR MANY AND A MEANS TO CELEBRATE AND MERRY MAKING.I DONOT ADD ANY IMPORTANCE TO THIS DAY ALL DAYS ARE EQUALLY GOOD IF YOU ARE SARISFIED WITH YOUR PRESEN SITUATION
ilegirl,
thanks for adding to my hopes.
Saman,
the girl indeed looks like Pooja
Pooja,
like the usage of this phrase and its explanation
smiling one,
personally speaking, 2008 was a great year for me as well. but the many severe situations in the world, from economic to political, to terrorism troubles me and makes me wish for a world without all this.
Masroor,
unfortunately the painting has already been sold. why dont you paint it for me and bring it with you next time. would love to put it up on my wall.
also, fundamentally i agree with you on what you say about New year and other such days. but, sometimes its good to use such days to take a stock of things, to wish for a better tomorrow, to catch up with friends, to have a healthy conversation, to feel good about ourselves.
sometimes, certain rituals are good!
meraj,
I agree that rituals some time make you refresh although for a time being but still it gives you energy.in that sense a new year festivity is a process of rejuvanition
masroor
Masroor, Thats so very true...Thats the crust of any celebration for that matter..
on the contrary meraj, it's adversity that brings out the best in everyone, not fortune.
I wonder why the girl in the painting is facing the wall...
The burst of colour in the flowers looks beautiful!
Thats the beauty of the painting pooja..thats what makes it so very charming, intruguing n special..
hmmm i guess you are right..:)
girls are beautiful by default and these are flowers for new year.
wishing all a peaceful and glorious tomorrow.
cheers!!!!
smiling one,
adversity does bring out the best in some but not everyone.
pooja,
perhaps the girl is writing a new year wish on the wall :)
ALien,
thanks for dropping by and hope all is going great at your end.
cheers!
