Every time I visit any Church, I remember this song [might be because of all those college days :)],

"Lord make me an instrument
An instrument of worship
I lift up my hands in Your name
Lord make me an instrument
An instrument of worship
I lift up my hands in Your name

I sing to you a love song
A love song of worship
I'll lift up my hands in Your name..."

Now, my thanks to Amu for accompanying and the guidance... :)

Note : The last few snaps are from a garden. The pics were taken using Sony DSC-W70(7.2MP, 3x optical zoom).

I was all excited attending the house warming ceremony of my relative. And the motive behind posting this was cooking the traditional way than usage of stove... Check it out.

This wonderful trip has filled joy in all our hearts. It took 3 hrs to travel from Chennai to Thiruvannamalai and the route picked was from Tambaram. It is one of the 5 element(pancha bhootha) temples of Lord Shiva which represents fire. After the darshan of Arunachaleswarar, Unnamulaiyaal and other deities in Thiruvannamalai, we headed towards Sri Mahalakshmi Golden Temple in Sripuram, Vellore. Here, to reach the main deity, we need to walk through the star shaped pathway, reading the thoughtful quotes displayed on either side and enjoying the beauty around. It's worth visiting this place as we can experience peace or mental calmness. For temple pics, click over here.

About Surendrapuri, you can know more once you click here.
Do read, it will be interesting... Photography was not allowed inside else would have shot more...

In this memorable trip to Kerala, it was wonderful experiencing "Our Mother Nature". Just enjoyed and captured every moment of our stay. We covered,

Thrissur(Guruvayoor Temple, Athirapally Waterfalls) --> Munnar    --> Thekkady --> Alleppey --> Trivendrum(Sri Anantha Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Padmanabhapuram Palace) --> Kanyakumari.
Hope you all enjoyed these few snapshots... [:)]

I would like to share all the pics that has been a collection since months to till date. It includes Floor drawings and colorings, Sun Rays, Hand-made Ganeshji, Ganesh Chathurthi, and Dussera offerings. To know the details, scroll over the picture.

These snaps were taken at National Air Force Museum, Dayton, Ohio, USA. This post was saved as draft for a long time and now sharing them with you all.

Enjoyed every moment in Andaman Islands, India. Lived in Port Blair for 5 days visiting :

Day 1 : Cellular Jail and Sound and Light Show. [Due to flight journey on the first half of the day from Chennai to Andaman]
Day 2 : North Bay Island and Ross Island
Day 3 : Wandoor Beach, Chidiya tapu or Bird Rock(Sunset View). Instead of Chidiya tapu, you can prefer Havelock Island for both Sunset and Sunrise View. It was closed due to our President's arrival.
Day 4 : Chathom Island, Corbyn Cove Beach, Zoo, Science Museum, Shopping
Day 5 : Baratang Island [Mud Volcano, Original Limestone Cave]

Included snapshots of all these and few of Mahabalipuram, Chennai too.

I just wanted to share few jokes that I went through. Really funny...

LAWYER: "Now, would you please tell the Jury the truth - why did you shoot your husband with a bow and arrow?"
Defendant: "I didn't want to wake the children."

'Have you forgotten that you owe me 50 dollars.'
'No, not yet. Give me time, and I will.'

Teacher(answering the telephone): 'you say Ajay has a bad cold and cant come to school! Who is this speaking?'
Voice(with assumed hoarseness): 'This is my father.'

An industrialist removed his two sons from a mission school. He gave this reason - The school teaches them to be honest and I want them to go into business and industry.

A newly married couple reached an air-travel booking counter and asked the clerk incharge: 'Is it safe to travel by your company's aeroplane?'
'Ofcourse! If it wasn't safe,would we be using the fly-now-pay-later plan?'
