Mein, meri biwi aur... woh!

I wake up sharp at 6am and get ready quickly.

6.40, I’m outside the house with my camera as I wait for Anitha (my wife). It’s time for our usual morning walk. She comes out leisurely. After a short time of walking she complains that I’m too fast. I slow down trying to hide my impatient excitement! Anitha is talking something but my mind is elsewhere.

I remember the day, five days ago when I first saw her during our morning walk. I had noticed her beauty accidentally when she had come close to us. And what a beauty she was! She looked great in yellow and brown, with some green sprinkled here and there.

We had reached the spot where I usually find her. With no clue of her whereabouts I look around. She is not to be seen anywhere. I’m now walking slowly. Anitha turns towards me suspiciously. Looking at some tiny lavender flowers I say ‘Ah... why don’t you walk for sometime in the football ground as I try to focus these flowers in the manual mode’. She gives an expression that says ‘somethings-fishy-here’! Luckily for me she walks on.
While I try focusing my lens on the flowers I keep my ears vigilant for her seductive sounds! I look at my watch, 7.20; she has to be here soon! I’m becoming increasingly impatient.

Just when the flowers are in focus, Anitha who has come up right behind me for some unknown reason shrieks ‘Wow... what a beauty she is..!!’, even Anitha is smitten by her beauty! I hush Anitha as I focus my camera on the beauty.....

Check her out here...

  1. S/he is beautiful indeed.

    The quad coloured bird feeding on flower seeds is wonderful. White, light yellow, light grey, and dark grey colours against the green and purple flower backdrop makes the bird look magical.

    By the way, where is this walkway? If it is near your home, I am thrilled to see such a natural wonder in your "backyard". It is good that Bangalore still has retained such a natural wonder in spite of 7.2 million people.
