A glimpse of Strathmore

A beautiful park where the old converge to boast the many talents of their grandchildren...young parents cruising along with strollers bearing cute, chubby babies...loving pet owners taking time to walk their furry animals...

Sweaty children running amok, round and round the playground they go...parents keeping watchful eyes on their children, rushing to their aid at the slightest cry, fall, scratch or graze...

Tetris-like blocks of high-rise flats obscuring the possibility of a lovely view ...leaving you to wonder what lies beyond...

Two heads are better than one...bonding session with an older sibling...carefree housewives trading gossips...kind-hearted souls dutifully feeding the strays, unswerving in their mission...

Anxious to get home before it starts to pour again...wondering how he could have lost track of time so easily...blocking away thoughts of an impending Monday...

This is a pretty neighbourhood, and I am glad to be part of it! :)

New home

I've been staying at my new home for almost 2 weeks now. Although it hasn't been a long time, I feel really comfortable here, much more than my previous place. I've come to realise that the top qualities of a comfortable home, to me, are freedom and space. Freedom to move around and do whatever you desire without the fear of imposing on someone, and space in the form of peace and quiet to engage in my own private thoughts and my favourite activities. Here are some random pictures I took of and from my room on a rainy Saturday.

Before the storm.....

A view comes with the expense of noise. I hear the train thundering along pretty loudly when my windows are open. Takes a bit of getting used to.

Raining cats and dogs outside...carebear is cold...brrr!

The most cluttered area in my room due to insufficient storage space.

No wait...maybe not as cluttered as this?

After the rain...

Usual objects taking up space on my bed.

Night view from my room.
