Let’s take a Chai break

Let’s take a Chai break

Handle with care

Spread the colours of joy around,Wipe away tears, bring more smiles.Make memories, cherish them all along,Be a champion through troubles and trials.

What you don’t know

What you don’t know

Nature

Nature

A beautiful day,To walk nature’s way!And a journey now awaits me.The sun and rain, they play,Hear,hear,hear they say,There are wonders you’re yet to see. The wind begins to blow,The dainty flowers now bow,As if they are in prayer.I can hear the birds sing,Their song a merry ring,Mesmerized, I just stare. The many hues and shades,The leaves, the grass blades,Each has a charm of its own.A […]
