Shadows…

Hello World!!!

Summer festive is in its splendor in Mauritius…the sky is crystal clear and so blue…most of the times cloudless with the peaky sunshine following your every steps …



With the colorful image the landscape presents, the unbearable heat and cocky sunrays are your daily companion…



There comes the time when you dream of a refreshing oasis



with its inviting shelter and shades…




I would then imagine how it would have been if whenever I put my foot, the setting would metamorphose in a world of natural protection….



There will be alleys roofed with flowers perfuming the air with their exotic and delicate fragrance…



Walking would then be an enchantment with luxuriant mass of trees ….the summer breeze echoing through the heavy leaves before landing on you…the flowers highlighting the grace and beauty of nature…and how colorful the world can be…

How I wish that my small island was still like that…trees scattered everywhere… like sentinel guarding us…adding a magical and exotic touch ….a return to nature….

Graduating...Avec Amour....

Hello World!

This post is dedicated to two special people in my life ……



Last Tuesday was my graduation day....Since I was informed about this event I was more skeptic than being happy....skeptic in the sense that being absent from my work is like having a bomb ready to explode with full of bad surprises...

But on the eve of the graduation day....when travelling back home a feeling of happiness & enthusiasm started to bloom inside me....

Joy as I was gonna make my parents proud...

Excitement as I was going to meet (after so many months) my two friends: Ariele & Caroline...

Meeting Ari & Caro was as if we never separated....always their aura of joy & good moods floating around them...so contagious...seeing them is always the moment of exchanging our usual little gossips of ours....sharing time & moments of the good and bad moments of life....

My graduation was not only about reward...but about lot of love (amour)...

love for the parents...to see their pride and joy...

love for friends...mine especially as till now never understand how two great persons have accepted someone like me ….

my two friends who had supported me for my four years at Uni..and still here for me ....

been so long that had a really good day...

I won’t ever forget you girls and always be grateful to you...and the moments we share especially under our special tree near the cafeteria it has witnessed our start of friendship and its growth...and all our little confidence...



Thanks you girls for being you and for making my graduation a day with amour...

Retrospective: after one year of blogging....

Hello World!!!!

My first blogging anniversary...who would have believe it....

Last year at this very moment I was over-stressed, lost and worried with my dissertation...and then I got the idea of starting a blog...

At first it was for purely academic purpose as my research was on blogging itself...then I was entwined in the blogging mania....

Everything started unsuspecting...I didn’t even think about my blog identity ...I came up with Hello World which is the main heart of the blog and the main opening of my post...World referring to Gaia (Earth)...

At first I used to blog about everything....

It was then that I crafted and molded a place for my thoughts...a world where I can be myself and share the visions of how I see life ....

Things which I saw that sometimes are so difficult to say or explain in reality....today I have also found a shelter in my blog where I find a voice which echo part of myself through my writings....

Happy Blogging Anniversary to all those bloggers who happen to celebrate theirs too.......

I also thank all people who happen to drop by my blog especially my dear friends who leave daily messages on my shout box and who take the time to comment on my blog...

A big thank to you all... Really appreciate it..........

Vibrant

Hello World!
These past few days am feeling so happy….maybe it will be for a short duration but still am enjoying this feeling of blissfulness and gaiety…



It all started on Thursday when I was coming back from work and walking home….it was already dark, the sun nearly setting down…and I looked up at the sky…
I was mesmerized…how to describe this beauty of the nightfall sky…the sky was cloudless…not a single cloud at the horizon…the first stars starting to shining…and this amazing blue patterns …aqua from blue marine to a pale blue pastel….with the last rays of the sun adding a beautiful pale yellow tone…



It was then I realized that summer was already here…



The atmosphere is always more warm glowing on the mood of people…making them feel warmer and happier…the surroundings looking more striking, colorful and bright…

How not to fall in love with the vibrancy of summer and nature…

Morose

Hello World!
During these days, the weather in Mauritius was morose, cloudy with few sun rays succeeding to pave their way out of the mass to pour out some light across the grey sky…the ocean far away in the horizon…still in its pittoresque state was magnificent in its blue grey color with few tanker ships on the way to the harbor completing the picture…

Traveling back home in the afternoon is always the only rare moment when I can dream and relax…crowd of passengers/strangers crossing your path but bearing the same perplexed look of the tired person…many of them ignoring the art of beauty picture that nature is offering us…

I then think that life is so strange …. So many lives crossing yours and traveling away in a jolt of moment of the highway of life not knowing what’s waiting ahead…

Listening to my favorite tracks and gazing at the windows… I always welcome the enchanting image of the sun waving me goodbye while it’s fading away in the vast blue grey ocean… I then wonder how it would have been if I was near the grey ocean in this morose atmosphere ….

I imagine myself watching the cold ocean with its unstoppable ballet of waves….with echo of the wind playing around ….
The cold sensation of the wind gust brushing you and transcending your body reaching your soul… this chilly feeling of being cleansed out of all dirt and negativity…
Lying freely and carelessly across the grass…

I would stare at the grey sky with the few sunrays bringing out some warmth to the morose atmosphere….

Unity

Hello World!
Unity a word in itself full of meaning ,hope, dream of humanity....



My colleague told me on Thursday that she is going to celebrate Eid at her friend place...she is going to have lunch there…
I was quite amazed as she was a Hindu...
and more amazed when she told me that she had done that more than ten years ....
and I realised something....
here in Mauritius, we are firstly a multicultural island where we grow learning to live with so many ethnical and cultural differences...


we may be a small island but we should be proud of one thing:our unity...


unity in the sense that we can go beyond so many barriers and live in a relative harmony



for this week we have 2 national festivals in Mauritius:
· Eid ul-Fitr

Eid ul-Fitr often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm). Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "conclusion of the fast"; and so the holiday celebrates the conclusion of the thirty days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The first day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of the month Shawwal.

· Ganesh Chaturthi

Ganesha Chaturthi also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi is the Hindu festival of Ganesha, the elephant-headed son of Shiva and Parvati, who is believed to bestow his presence on earth for all his devotees in the duration of this festival. It is the birthday of Lord Ganesha who is widely worshiped as the god of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune.
