Spotted at a coffee shop in a train station. Somewhere in #London . Some messages make you think. Others bring out a smile. Yet others get you to do both!

Perhaps it’s the ambience. Or perhaps it is the weather. Maybe the coffee. Or simply, the simple yet profound meaning in the message.

Spring and autumn are the most dramatic seasons of them all. Creation, destruction and change do a dance that makes it imperative to take note. For every season presents itself with a beauty that is raw and true.
And it makes wonder about the dances that we do in our lives too.

His board says ‘For a trip to Australia ’. He has three buckets of soap water and small paraphernalia to create bubbles in the air.
The children are ecstatic about it. The parents bring out their smiles and cameras. Which of course is ultimate indication of approval!
Standing at Trafalgar Square I train my gaze on the guy who does it all. I wonder if he will get to Australia, blowing bubbles in the air. But he has already taken scores of kids over the moon.

For that reason, I wish him well. Hope he does get to Australia.

The National Gallery is impressive from many angles. If you love art, you can go there any number of times and still keep discovering something anew.
Occasionally if you look at the ceiling as you enter, this is what you will see.

Trafalgar Square. King George IV and Horatio Nelson tower over. There are four sculpted lions that guard, at the base of Nelson’s column.
Cast in bronze that was melted from the canons aboard Spanish and French ships of war!
This place reeks history.

“A throne is only a bench covered in Velvet” -So said Napoleon.

Sitting at this park bench and soaking in the expanse of London green made me feel like a king. Sans velvet.
Ah, the clarity that quiet moments bring are well worth a Kingdom strong.

London. A rich hue of yellow, brown and patches of green grab the eye.
There has been bright sunshine all through the day. And then we were told that ‘Day light saving time’ kicks in today. That is one hour less.
Well, you win some and you lose some!
