Navyata 2022 – A fashion parade in our neighborhood

The nine day Navratri Festival just ended for us in India and for Indians abroad. The grace and colors of Garba in Gujarat, the beauty of dolls display (Golu) in Tamil Nadu and the divinity of the Durga Puja celebrations in Bengal are the hallmark of the festivities.

Out here in Pennsylvania in the USA, while we organized and celebrated Navratri with a Golu (display of Dolls), we didn’t miss the grace, colors, beauty and divinity at all. Nature was present in its full glory.

In fact, there is a fashion parade going on right now to celebrate Navratri and welcome Diwali soon in our neighborhood. Surprised! Yes!

Navyata 2022 is happening in our neighbourhood.

Welcome to Navyata 2022 – the fashion parade of Nature.

“Astronomically I am supposed to be your Fall companion between September 22, 9:30 am to December 21, 5:02 am in Pennsylvania. Guys, why have you allowed him so early? Two is ok – you and me; three is crowd. Isn’t it?” says the Autumn on arrival of the first snow shower.

Autumn Message 3 – The Root of Communication

The root of the word ‘Communication’ is from the two Latin words – ‘Communis and communicare’ meaning sharing in common and making something in common.

But “Roots” by themselves can communicate ! Wonder how! Look at these pictures

The hands(roots) that build trees have strong nerves
Is this a monstrous turtle or the toe of a Yeti?
Accommodation and adjustments are part of life.
Networking is key for growth.
Are we looking back at our neck/head interface?

Autumn Message 2 – My Autumn Resolve – a visual monologue by Sun

In an interview done through my iPhone in mid September 2020, the Sun gave an exclusive preview of what is in His mind.

“I have been rising early all summer. I am tired of “Early to rise and late to bed”. It is now “late to rise and early to bed”. Times are changing and so too are the colors. It is time for me to relax. If you guys want, you can change your time as per my schedule” – says the Sun. Justifiably so – isn’t it?

Just getting out of the bed at 0706 hrs
Getting up after 0700 hrs is the new normal now
By the time I get my looks back, it is around 0815 hrs these days
Even around 0900 hrs, somedays I feel lazy.

Autumn Message 1 – From the Trees

“Who says that we trees have no aura ? Look at me – The Glow – Tejas (तेजस्). Isn’t it Divine? We thank our friend – Sun for this. However be aware that nothing comes free. Don’t worry. All the colors that we absorbed in the summer from Him, we will return it in the Autumn for you to enjoy. It is your turn then to,provide colors in the life of needy people in Winter. ” say the trees.

It is not just a divine glow; but a divine message. Isn’t it
