The Little Ways the World Works.

I would generally write to you each Friday so my newsletters can insinuate a freshness to the already beaten-up week. So your weekend can seem a little more liven up. So you may start another week in much love with ordinary life. Yet, I chose to write to you so soon this time because sometimes the ordinary can simply choose to be ultra extraordinary. And I want to cherish that with you.

We are almost at the end of May and summers still appear to play hide and seek with clouds in the playground. This is not what we expect from the month of May in the ‘Delhi-ness of our ordinary lives.’ We expect horrible, thirst-wrenching heat, and air cons to start humming impeccably. We dread the heat of June so much that May is kind of a teaser so we brace ourselves to walk into a furnace of fire.

Though instead of full blast furnace feeling we are seeing unusually cool summers. From mild showers to drizzles now and then; to slight humidity and then periodic cool breeze is how the usually burning summers are turning extraordinarily unusual!

I am not certain how June‘ll be yet I can certainly keep my eyes glistening up in awe and wonderment so as to catch the ordinary leading towards the extraordinary.

To Reflect: Makoto Azuma a flower artist and the world’s first botanical sculptor from Japan who makes the usual flower show into a spectacular unusual extraordinaire’. He transforms the standard flower shows into a show stop; for which you may ponder that how much capacity we possess to bring amazement in our lives. Find his spectacular work here.

As the weather creates his own love stories, we are sure that life can be pretty fine because fiery furnaces can suddenly cool down. These are the little ways the world works.

Leaving you with my little artwork to keep you going this week:

Something that I drew at random to seek wonderment.

Have a wonderful week, infused with wonderment, awe, and faith that things change for good!
