Only you’d know

“Marry me within seven days, or lose the chance forever”.

The Big Fat Indian Wedding

Indian weddings are bigger carnivals than any other festival celebrated here. Décor and attire is lavish, not just elegant.

Escapism

I wonder what peeling the earth will reveal -stormy depths -emotions paling into insignificance   -unseen calm belittling mammoth peace efforts -our pride in humanity melting in co-existence   yet I move away – as lessons follow me afraid of being dwarfed by Earth -my magnificence unpricked https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2019/03/12/photo-challenge-254/
