Life is all about waiting isn’t it? Waiting for a better day, a better job, a better car, a better house. You name it, we are waiting err perhaps not for Yamraj (the Hindu god of death) π The weekly photo challenge from Daily Post this week is on same topic – waiting.
βAre you ready?” Klaus asked finally.
“No,” Sunny answered.
“Me neither,” Violet said, “but if we wait until we’re ready we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives, Let’s go.β β Lemony Snicket, The Ersatz Elevator
So without making you wait any more here we go π
Waiting for daybreak. Did you notice the sun rays shooting out just like they used to when we drew the Sun during our childhood? At least I did! π
At the Golconda fort, Hyderabad waiting to be explored.
A family waiting at a station for our train to pass and theirs to arrive. Or are they waiting for a loved one to arrive? They don’t seem to have any baggage with them. But then again, who can decipher baggage by just looking at people?
These young men wait for their break to be over so that they can get back to work. π
You can’t deny these two men are waiting for us to pass π Don’t miss the lovely fields in the distance which was what I had been aiming for…
Then there are books waiting to be read – so many and so little time π¦ Hey BS say hi and thanks to you Jiji π π
Waiting for summer to pass and dine out, under the warmth of the winter Sun π
Well? What are you waiting for? Go on don’t be shy, have a bite, have the whole thing if you like, it’s the non-fattening kinds π

Thanks for visiting – have a super weekend!
One tiny single room house in the midst of nowhere – quite a reversal from the cities!
On the way back by car we were caught in a torrential blinding downpour. I thought it was the perfect way to capture the rain π
Another way of capturing rain is by focusing on puddles – can you make out how heavily it was raining?
As the rain gathered intensity, some sought shelter…
But unlike the birds, these three didn’t have any choice and hence they bore it stoically and came out squeaky clean π
After the rains – clean fresh and sparkling! Yet the monsoons which bring relief from the sweltering heat and also wrecks havoc in many parts of the country.
The flower pots are a good indicator aren’t they? And this was just after two hours of rain. Thankfully the rain eased and the water receded. I wonder what would have happened if the rains hadn’t stopped…
Sunset at Mumbai – the clouds and the sky come together in a bid to give the even uni-dimensional sky an artistic textured finish to a wonderful day.
I thought this photo was apt for the topic because of the many textures and layers to it and not just the fine work on the gopuram. And of course I couldn’t resist showing off the perfectly symmetrically branched tree π
Can you not feel the coarseness of this quaint refuge from the hot sun?
This is a section of the outer walls of the Amer fort at Jaipur which is meant to keep out the enemy. Yet there’s something beautiful and captivating about itΒ don’t you think? I wonder if they had specialists who focused on the beautification of ramparts?
Amazing whatΒ H2O can be right? π Flowing water, floating clouds or rock solid ice.
A random click of picturesque Prague. The lighter and darker shades of green, the brick roof, both grey and white clouds in a blue sky – sigh…
How could I forget these majestic beauties from Darjeeling and the unique angle – thank you Jyotsna π
Let’s move on a bit farther to Germany. My cousin sent these stunning trees. Have a look
Blue blue skies and snow clad trees also from Germany shared by Svkuki π
There’s this massive one from Dublin snapped by my sister while on an educational trip there.
A hairy one and quite unapologetic too!
Is that two trees or one? Oh what does it matter – there’s just one like you, muaahh
Green, white and blue – a sight for sore eyes don’t you think?
Rain is imminent – the clouds 
They came in other designs too!
Just the way I like it – sunny side up π
Quite perfectly framed – what do you say?
Snapped a quick pic on the way home – on the left
and on the right. I got a crick in my neck gawking at the sky. And a good thing too for I caught someone staring at me…
Any guesses who that is? π
Can you see the white longitudinal streaks? Did you think those to be marks on a dirty window pane? No! The window was wide open. Those are the thick ropes of rain – the first monsoon shower in Delhi. The gentleman in white seems to have been taken by surprise. Or perhaps he took advantage of his mom’s absence π π
Of they go in tandem and in sync, not a 
Uneven strips of stone have been coaxed into a neat orderly pattern
Even Nature falls in line just to show you the way…
And allows herself to be ruthlessly trimmed into a shapely order.
Buildings are usually made to order – be they for elephants
Or their mahouts.
Bangles for the bride are always in order – packed or worn. Quite in contrast to her life that is thrown into disorder.
Go on, choose one π
Here diverse threads and colors have been coerced into order by our very own Svkuki
While here, an unruly bunch of multi-colored petals have been tricked to give an orderly appearance by none other than the wayward and absconding Mymind ;).
But whether it is the sunrise or the
the sunset, both are
