Happy flowers-moking!

I was away not just from blogging but emails, computer and pretty much everything.
I was driven up the wall by the red tapism and mismanagement in our education system (just like this sofa).
I was running all the while (one month +) for my daughter’s admission in a good college in her chosen stream. Period!
Even IF I had time I could not have been able to open the computer let alone blog as I was too tense all the time!
Thank God that I have come out sane from this!
And my daughter eventually got admission where she wanted!

Out of many bitter lessons learnt I want to mention just one.
Our education system does not think that internet and simple phone are marvellous inventions – time saving devices. Instead people belonging to this field think their stature would go down if they ever answer by phone or put some info on net!
I don’t want to say sorry for my absence but definitely want to say thank you all that came regularly to my blog and commented. Wrote to me showing concern via mails or via comments.
I especially want to thank Maryam, Geetha, Oorie, Palak and Niharika.
I also want to welcome newbies on my blog who wrote to me but I could not answer them!
Will write to you all soon.

Do I want to write big words about child labour like bonded labour, child trafficking, hazardous conditions and lost childhood in long hours!
No.
Do I want to give big statistics for child labour – like an estimation of 167 to 250 million child labour worldwide!
No.
Do I want to say that India has about 17 million child labour!
No.
I am unable to see a Child Labour as Separate Identity from his poor family. It’s a Child-Labour-family and not just a child labour! A child contributes about 34% to 37% of household income.
Am I not against child labour?
I Am Completely Against Child Labour.
But I am looking for Real Social Equality Solutions and not just laws and days and campaigns so that we can eradiate child labour from roots.

Warning no 1: if your jaws drop and mouth open then do not blame me!
Warning no 2: if you want to run right away to these stunning locales in New Zealand then don’t tell me I didn’t warn you enough!
Warning no 3: I am hooked and have been to their website 5 times already clicking each & every photo all over again!
Warning no 4: these are awards-winning firm’s visually stunning, extremely modern houses – a 360° X 1000 times views!
Fearon Hay Architects is a New Zealand based firm.
For their stark modern aesthetics, I want to dub them as ‘Maharajas’ of modern minimal architecture!
Every corner of these houses is linked to its landscape. Large living areas, internal courtyards, endless verandahs, open plan bathroom, extensive decks and patio spaces, natural grey plaster walls and merging of indoor and outdoor living spaces with slide away systems to open the house to the opulence of views and abundant light make these spaces simple, magnificent and dreamy!

Mix some cross stitch, some ikat, some ancient calligraphy and Aztec architecture on a wall and you have this stunning artwork façade!
This unusual crafted exterior look belongs to Shatto Recreation Center designed by Steven Ehrlich Architects in collaboration with artist Ed Moses.
Shatto Center’s architecture in itself is interesting enough but what holds my interest more is its designer façade!
Center’s north and south elevations are animated with abstract patterns of split-faced, sandstone coloured red bricks and glazed black concrete blocks.
