The moon yesterday

Well, day before yesterday actually.......we're all sitting around in the drawing room.....and mom suddenly, with this deep indrawn breath says " just look at that moon".

While these words can get evoked on most any day, and especially so on a full moon day, this moment when she said it......the vantage, and the moon were literally breathtaking. Red as red can be...that super blood moon. 

So much so, it made each of us, Dhruva, Praveen and me get up in turn and go to the balcony for that better view. In that moment it was just over the horizon, visible through her plant bushes in her balcony, and looking quite ethereal. 

And ofcourse the cameras had to come out, though they could but capture only a small part of the experience.





While the pictures above are from Praveen's phone, this one's from mine.....telling me why it's worth investing in a phone with a better camera .


And this one's from Google, just to show why the moon that evening took our breath away ..... and what we couldn't capture on our phones .


These are moments when one all over again, realizes why it's so worthwhile living in houses with a view of horizon, especially east facing horizon :)
