Simplest peacock-mor (in Hindi mor means peacock)

It is a remote part of India, a small village where this little girl lives. She wakes up early and helps her mother in daily chores. By the time she reaches school she is physically tired quite a bit. But her eyes always glisten as she wants to explore every little-big thing on this earth and beyond.

Teacher’s pet she is invited to take over the class for a while. Her heart never refusing to stop jumping yet with outward calm she draws this mor (peacock), thinks teacher is going to give her very good today. She slowly begins to tell a story…

There was a kingdom with a huge garden. A pretty rajkumari (princess) lived there with her mor (peacock) friends. She was very good in studies and wanted to conquer the world with her knowledge. She wanted to study more and more and more than her parents or people of her side of the world would like to allow………

designflute thinks this drawing is mother of all peacock drawings.

green roots, utter bliss

the garden of my childhood

21/08/2007 DesignFlute 2 Comments

The numerous nuances of pink distinguish this garden from any other.

The apple tree, roses, petunias fragrant peas, pink and grey colors fight for space and crave to be picked up.

The theme is ‘The garden of my childhood ‘and Russian landscape designer Sergey Malyuchenko portrays it so beautifully.

Garden in the childhood is bright and as man grows old his garden loses colors.

Behind the fresh pink’s soft cries of pick me up there is a hidden meaning of grey as neglected garden but pink is the transitional colors on the way to renovation.

green roots, utter bliss

in search of roof garden

I wanted to do today the post about Mumbai’s (possibly) only (organic) rooftop garden. There is a certain BPT building I was in search of. But I lost my way and came back empty handed.

I was caught in traffic wheel.

I lost my way into an unplanned concrete jungle.

After inhaling fumes of pollution for hours, I am so tired I want to turn myself into this green snail and rest in my cocoon.

I am angry too so I threw some flowers randomly into this pond. And afterwords set by this next dark green pond.

It all started with a fairytale.

Into this fairytale garden.

Two of them with kids lived in this home under the greens.

In the backyards the children did their monkey jumping up and down this green rope.

He, the one with greenest thumb sits there and paints the garden. She creats it.

Remembering this she came back from her fury, nice and slow this long stem slide.

All she wanted to do is sit in this romantic courtyard.

The courtyard is surrounded with vertical green walls.

designflute boasting: among about 200 apartments complex her balcony is the greenest!

Need I say these creations are simply beautiful!

The Sweden based artist Karin Eriksson mainly works with porcelain, stoneware and terracotta earthenware.

These two signe coffee beaker and one horned cup are great fun.

Karin also has a blog called karin’s style blog. Some everyday by the roadside photos from her blog are great.

This ‘wild strawberries’ is one of them.

After a 3-day harrowing monsoon metro-city malady I want to indulge myself today.

I really like white interiors though I am Indian. Here are some great white and+ modern minimalist interiors with a deft touch of flora and green.

These four photographs are via jenniferpostdesign.com. I am so much in love with this NewYork based interior designer Jennifer Post’s white minimalist captivating capabilities.
