New haircut-courtesy my eight year old niece




Just the other day, Eshana my 8 yr old niece who is madly in love with Hannah Montana...suggested I have a haircut like that...Armed with a badge of Miley Cyrus, I dared to have one not quite the same but similar.....shes happy with the results....while taking this snap she wanted the fringe to be over the eye.....:)not quite so.........well i asked her advice and i got it! simple.....I am satisfied with the end result....At 8 she is already a teen......and at 39 I am also a teen...
so it matches......we argue, we sulk, we do homework together, we sing, we dance,
we fight over whos going to use the pc, and we babysit each other....oops I mean I babysit her.
She sees through my mock anger when she misbehaves.....my smile starts and she catches me...Bua she shouts...and giggles and I melt like chocolate on a hot day:)
Nisbat is infectious.......just cannot be away from it.

Just an hour's drive from Panchkula, is a place called Morni Hills....THis picture is of the adventure park there....opposite TIKKAR lake.....lovely picturesque place and so near to the city....Another world out there!haryana Tourism has developed a camp site out there for picnics and it is well maintained....I was pretty impressed....
Boating, trekking, rock climbing can be arranged here for groups.
Eco friendly is the order of the day!

Pounta Sahib

Situated on the banks of river Yamuna, Pounta Sahib Gurudwara was an intrinsic experience for me last month. I stayed inside for 2 days.....langar....kirtan....yamuna.....what else could i have wanted....

Nearby is the Kirpal Shila gurudwara where the rock on which Gurujee meditated around 300 yrs ago still is worshipped......a serene place......delicious langar and jaljeera!

Thanks to a friend, I just happened to discover Pounta Sahib and got a peek into more of my root culture-Sikhism.......Guru Gobind Singh jee used to have a KAVI DARBAR in the olden days....still held every full moon night.....

Back in Chandigarh today I just close my eyes and am transported back to Pounta Sahib!
