Pahalgam one of my favourite destinations is a world famous hill station and quite popular among tourists visiting Jammu &Kashmir , located on the banks of Lidder River at an altitude of 7200 ft. from sea level.Pahalgam is also associated with the annual Amarnath Yatra. Chandanwari (2,895 m), 16 km from Pahalgam, is the starting point of the Yatra that takes place every year in the month of July / August. Surrounded by snow clad mountains , gushing blue water of Lidder River makes it uniqueness of its own.Here are some descriptive views from my hotel window. The pictures may appear a little hazy as they were taken from inside the window but I managed to capture some beautiful moments .

While I was enjoying a view of Lidder River From My Window
And My Friends Were Waiting For Me
I Took A Notice Of The Monkeys Who Had Thronged The Place
And This One Outside My Window Was Eyeing The Butter Toast On My Table
Oh Boy , How Could I not Feed Him After The Eye Contact He Had With Me?
On Being Asked To Come Around The Other Window He Came And Waited Patiently For A Bite
What Surprised Me The Most
He scraped The Hard Dark Brown Edges Of The Toast Before Gulping Them Down - Intelligent Breed , Huh

A picture , the record of visual perception - Some of us love being pictured while few of us turn our faces away from the camera and I fall in the second category . Photography is a passion for me and once in a while I do try my hands on it but I rarely allow myself to be photographed for the very reason that I picture badly but of late I realised its just the state of mind that reflects in our pictures.and there is only #1 tip to give a good shot that has worked for me which is one must feel beautiful while posing for a photograph and there you are ! This is one of the best shots I have ever given though I have a sharper nose than it appears in the photograph but it can not stop me from saying " I feel beautiful" and now your opinion matters .

"Mood Swings " - a rapid change in mood and that's exactly what I am going through ever since I came back after a week long holiday in Kashmir Valley " The Paradise On Earth ". One of the most beautiful and memorable journeys I have ever had , packed with fun and romance with nature was indeed a lifetime experience. It took me no long to get back to normal life style once I landed back in Delhi. and as an addicted blogger would have , the first thimg I did after reaching home logged into my blogging sites ,replied to all the comments left by my readers , read a few blogs, wrote a few comments and finally when I tried to write a blog post I was at total loss of words , though my mind is loaded with stories of my experience in " The Paradise On Earth " Kashmir ,where I spent a substantial portion of my childhood and grew up without having an iota of feeling or sense that how much this mystic beauty of the valley is going to haunt me as I grow older. "The Kashmir Valley " the place where I would love to spend remaining years of my life
So we go back to "Mood Swings " I believe I was and still am in a state of nostalgia and therefore I decided to share the pictures of my own on Face Book ac and in that process I found some pictures depicting my own moods.. I certainly need to get over with my Mood Swings and start sharing some beautiful pictures of The Kashmir Valley known to be " The Paradise On Earth " in the ,meanwhile bear with me when I ask you to enjoy watching my mood swings and share your opinion with me . I found this beautiful series of pictures taken while I was busy attending the phone calls .

This is how happy I was when I checked in the House Boat until I received some business calls from my office that ultimately forced me to switch off my phone once again that had remained shut throughout while I travelled.
Queen of cocktails " Bloody Mary " also known as a hangover cure “a classic example of combining in one potion both the poison and the antidote.” A complex drink yet popular , Queen of cocktails -Bloody Mary is a vodka based drink tomato juice and spices are essential ingredients in the cocktail ,while Worcestershire sauce, piri piri sauce, Tabascos sauce are added for flavours . Virgin Mary, Bloody Shame, Bloody Virgin, or Bloody Barbara: Without alcohol ,typically with an increased volume of tomato juice, the vodka simply being omitted are the non alcohlic substitutes of the cocktail. . The Red Hammer of 1950's now known as Bloody Mary Used to be a thick; chunky drink with plenty of garnish which made it appear like a salad bar . To make the improved cocktail the grinding of blend is a must .It not only changes the texture of the drink but also makes it a more elegant pour. While you enjoy the drink I will be off to Kashmir to come back with few more interesting cocktail recipes.Before I take your leave One final note: the Bloody Mary is an early afternoon drink—those who consume it after the sun has set possess personality defects and are to be avoided. It is, however, a known antidote to the common hangover, and those who drink it in the morning are to be regarded as people of great knowledge and unerring discernment.

Sounds unreal but this is a true story when I ended up paying $15000 for a handshake
#truestory #onlinemarketing
and from the top of his lungs, voice piercing through the speakers and rumbling off the concrete floor in the Meadowlands Expo Center in New Jersey…
Tony Robbins gave the call-to-action to buy a package of his events — and the room split into two sides as if Moses parted the red sea.
I rose from my seat… similar to how I put the needle down and rose up from the ashes almost 6 years ago in that run down laundry room bathroom in one of the worst parts of town and decided to get clean and sober…
…And I walked over to the table, handed the staff member my credit card and said….
What I want to share with you today is how I’ve learned that sometimes….
I need to stretch myself to prepare for the next level of success.
As the lady finished running my card, someone said to me “We need to get you up there if you want to take a picture with Tony on the stage.”
At that moment (and really at any time throughout the event) my “ego” could have taken over and said….
“I fill events of 5,000 people too. I don’t need to go to more events.”
Or “Why would I spend $15,000 to go to Tony’s events when I can make a few calls, probably even get on the phone with Tony… and go to any of his events for free or at a discount.”
Or “I already make enough money. I don’t really need to learn anything new right now.”
Or even “I’m busy leading a team of few -thousands people…. I don’t have time.”
Instead, I decided to stretch myself to prepare for the next level.
Tony Robbins walked over to me and as we exchanged a few words, hands locked in a firm handshake — I looked out and scanned over 5,000 people in the expo center and knew in that moment that sometimes….
I need to stretch myself to prepare for the next level.
I also realized I just spent $15,000 for a handshake.
…And even if I never go to any of the events that I just bought (which I will)….
Making the decision to buy, meeting Tony on his stage and locking arms — and then looking out over the crowd…
To me – was worth the $15,000 I just spent.
So I want you to ask yourself a question:
Are you ready to get around someone that will stretch your reality and what you think is “possible”?
Are you willing to clobber your excuses?
Are you willing to be where you need to be? To spend what you need to spend? And work the way you need to work to make it happen?
And do you want to do it NOW or later?
(I think I know that answer to that)
I’ll look forward to meeting YOU on stage

If there are any related quaries please drop a message in comment box or CLICK HERE It would be a pleasure to help you . #onlinemoney#howto #affiliatemarket
If you want to do online business then you must follow the steps below
1. Build Your List (#1 Asset). No excuses. Focus on this daily.
Hire someone to setup your opt-in box if needed. Yet whatever you do, make
your email subscriber list your #1 priority. This is your NUMBER 1
asset when it comes to making money online.
You dream, fantasise of making “Push Button Money” – well, sorry to
burst your bubble it takes a little work to get there and be like me
You gotta be building your list. DAILY. If you are part of a home business,
network marketing company – do NOT build their list. You need to build yours.
(This was one of the biggest mistakes I made in my business
and it’s cost me at least $250,000+ in lost sales.)
If you need a shortcut to building your list without learning how to,
immediately – then go here to get DFY Traffic to jump start your lead generation.
2. Building an audience is faster and easier than ever before. Thanks
to email marketing and social media you can broadcast your message
to thousands of people with a single click. Anyone with an Internet
connection can now build an audience and grow their business faster
than ever before.
Start building your audience, i have an amazing group – YOU of subscribers
that i can communicate to daily, i add value to their lives, and i direct them
to whatever i want them to. Imagine that power, control and influence at
the tiips of your fingertips.
You build an audience by adding value – i spend 30mins to 90 mins each
day thinking, reflecting then pouring my heart out to write to YOU.
3. Start outsourcing early on. Delegate. Delegate. Delegate.
Don’t worry. I’m not talking about hiring a full-time VA. Not yet anyway.
But I want you to STOP doing all the stuff that you can outsource affordably
on sites like Fiverr, oDesk, Microlancer, and PeoplePerHour.com.
Graphic Design. Ebook Covers. Audio Editing. Video Editing. Tech Stuff.
Setting up Your Membership Site. Setting up Aweber. You name it. Someone
online can do it a LOT more affordably than you might think.
Don’t waste time on the stuff that doesn’t grow your business.
I practically DELEGATE every single thing, except of emailing my
newsletter readers. I write to you PERSONALLY each and every day.
4. Spend 20% of your time learning. 80% of your time DOING.
Become a PRODUCER.
Not just a CONSUMER.
OK ?
The doing part is what grows your business. And what you’ll
find is that the best way to learn about business is just
doing it. Action trumps all. Action trumps you sitting
there wasting time on silly facebook and twitter.
That being said – you should follow me on Facebook because I
Crazy – huh ? Well imagine i never did that – then look at
how much money i would have lost…
5. Growth ALWAYS lies OUTSIDE your comfort zone.
I used to hate / dislike is a better term, i used to dislike making
videos – then i realised that the more videos i make the more
money i make – to the tune of $10′s of thousands of dollars
per video…
Crazy – huh ? Well imagine i never did that – then look at
how much money i would have lost…
6. Investing In Myself More : I’ve done this from day 1 i guess,
even when i had no money, i still begged and borrowed to get there…
I love investing in myself – to attend conferences, seminars, on average
i invest to make sure i am at the top of my game, emotionally,mentally in my business and in my personal life….
See – i do, what i teach. I attend events, and if you want fast-success, you need to!!!
If you can’t afford high end events YET, then you have sources like Charlotte for the Empower Network
And the least you can do today for yourself is to grab a copy of my best selling book
” Dot Com Decoded ” for just $7 and finish it in the afternoon
That will get you started in the right direction when it comes to making money online !
7. Stop worrying about what other people think.
The only people who
are ‘liked’ by everyone are those who do nothing, say nothing,
and ultimately accomplish nothing. I’m at the point in my life where
I really couldn’t give a shit about what anyone thinks of me…
I do – say – create – think whatever i want. Don’t let those that have no
results dictate you and your future… I used to let my cousins / uncles
affect my behaviour cos they would always make fun of me when i was
trying to get rich on the internet…
If you feel like people aren’t supporting you – cut them out of your life.
Love your family, choose your friends. I am your friend.
Find / Create YOUR tribe of raving fans and serve them with massive value.
Ok – my fingers are aching from writing this to you, cos i’m a little

LYRICS
I have four-hundred-and-twenty-two friends, yet I am lonely. I speak to all of them everyday, yet none of them really know me.
The problem I have sits in the spaces between looking into their eyes or at a name on a screen. I took a step back and opened my eyes, I looked around to realise the media we call social is anything but.
When we open our computers, and it's our doors we shut. All this technology we have it's just an illusion. Community companionship a sense of inclusion yet, when you step away from this device of delusion, you awaken to see a world of confusion.
A world where we're slaves to the technology we mastered, where information gets sold by some rich greedy bastard. A world of self interest, self image, self promotion. Where we all share our best bits, but, leave out the emotion.
Were at 'almost happy' with an experience we share, but is it the same if no one is there? Be there for your friends and they'll be there too, but no one will be if a group message will do.
We edit and exaggerate, crave adulation. We pretend not to notice the social isolation. We put our words into order and turn our lives a-glistening. We don't even know if anyone is listening!
Being alone isn't a problem let me just emphasize; if you read a book, paint a picture, or do some exercise. You're being productive and present not reserved and recluse. You're being awake and attentive and putting your time to good use.
So when you're in public, and you start to feel alone. Put your hands behind your head, step away from the phone! You don't need to stare at the menu, or a your contact list. Just talk to one another, learn to coexist.
I can't stand to hear the silence of a busy commuter train when no one wants to talk for the fear of looking insane. We're becoming unsocial, it no longer satisfies to engage with one another, and look into someones eyes. We're surrounded by children, who since they were born, have watched us living like robots, who now think it's the norm.
It's not very likely you'll make worlds greatest dad, if you can't entertain a child without using an iPad. When I was a child, I'd never be home. Be out with my friends on our bikes we'd roam. I'd wear holes on my trainers, and graze up my knees. We'd build our own clubhouse, high up in the trees.
Now the parks so quiet, it gives me a chill. See no children outside and the swings hanging still. Theres no skipping, no hopscotch, no church and no steeple. We're a generation of idiots, smart phones and dumb people.
So look up from your phone, shut down display. Take in your surroundings, make the most of today. Just one real connection is all it can take, to show you the difference that being there can make.
Be there in the moment, when she gives you the look, that you remember forever as 'when love overtook'. The time she first held your hand, or first kissed your lips, the time you first disagreed and you still love her to bits.
The time you don't have to tell hundreds of what you've just done. Because you want to share this moment with just this one. The time you sell you sell your computer, so you can buy a ring, for the girl of your dreams, who is now the real thing.
The time you want to start a family, and the moment when, you first hold your little girl, and get to love again. The time she keeps you up at night, and all you want is rest. And the time you wipe away the tears as your baby flees the nest.
The time your baby girl returns, with a boy for you to hold, and the time he calls you granddad and makes you feel real old. The time you've taken all you've made, just by giving life attention. And how you're glad you didn't waste it, by looking down at some invention.
The time you hold your wife's hand, sit down beside her bed, you tell her that you love her and lay a kiss upon her head. She then whispers to you quietly as her heart gives a final beat, that she's lucky she got stopped by that lost boy in the street.
But none of these times ever happened, you never had any of this. When you're too busy looking down, you don't see the chances you miss.
So look up from your phone, shut down those displays, we have a final act existence a set number of days. Don't waste your life getting caught in the net, because when the end comes there's nothing worse than regret. I'm guilty too of being part of this machine, this digital world, we are hear but not seen.
Where we type as we talk, and we read as we chat. Where we spend hours together without making eye-contact. So don't give into a life where you follow the hype. Give people your love, don't give them your 'like'. Disconnect from the need to be heard and defined, go out into the world leave instructions behind.
Look up from your phone. Shut down that display. Stop watching this video. Live life the real way.

Is it true that post sex manners matter more to a woman than it does to a man ? I put forth this questions in a discussion on iTimes and got an overwhelming response not that many were vocal about it or came forward to share their experience but it became a hot topic but what really surprised me the most was , despite being a popular post most of the comments were simply "yes" or "no". I strongly feel although , both fore and after play equally contribute to art of love making but fore play is given much more importance than the after play is given and post sex manners do matter more to a woman than it does to a man !
According to Penny Slinger in their book "Sexual Secrets", Eastern philosophy has a poetic explanation for why men fall asleep faster than women. Woman is likened to water "slow to come to a boil and slow to cool down afterwards." Man is equated to fire, in that he is "quickly ignited and speedily extinguished."
#woman#relationships#sex
The fact post coital touch can lead to a satisfying relationship is ignored and rarely spoken about for people simply don't realise that intimate ambiance can continue after orgasm. 90% of my women friends have never had an after play ,not that they never wanted to have it but the man just rolled over and fell asleep , and the remaining 10% are the demanding women or probably got the right guys who understood the physiologic gender difference. Another factor affecting the after play is the timing of sex. If you usually have sex at night, your fatigue, in combination with the stimulation by the parasympathetic system that decreases the contractions of the heart, that reduces your energy level and causes deep feeling of relaxation especially for men . On the contrary a woman's body remains in that plateau for very long . After play is key to intimacy which leads to a stronger bond in a relationship but unfortunately ignored by most of us.Its important for one to understand sex is not all about performance but its creativity and this creativity can make sex am art that leaves a fragrance that can engulf a man and a woman for days together.The forms of after play cuddling and snuggling. , stroking of hair, massaging, and caressing just lying together, savouring the touch, sight, smell, and taste of each other can bring intense emotional satisfaction . Romantic, intimate conversation during after play can enhance the emotional aspects of sex and strengthen the bonds of the relationship. According to Kama Sutra, "When a woman is tired, she should place her forehead on that of her lover and should take rest, without disturbing the union of their sex organs. When she has rested herself, the man should turn around and begin to make love with her again. If lovers spend time playing and caressing each other at the end of their loving, then their ecstasy and confidence increase. Love-play enhances pleasure." A provoking thought yet as important as the sex is to our lives.

There are several types of rape, generally categorised by reference to the situation in which it occurs, the sex or characteristics of the victim, and/or the sex or characteristics of the perpetrator. Different types of rape include date rape,gang rape, marital rape, incestuous rape, child sexual abuse, prison rape, acquaintance rape, war rape and statutory rape among these marital rape is quite common all over the world but rarely reported in Asian and Islamic countries .Despite the pronouncement of marital rape punishable in India , though a criminal offence but we hardly see women come forward to report a marital rape .This post is inspired by one of my recently married employee , an educated girl , who is in a similar situation who's parents and in-laws instead of supporting the poor girl insist that she must give in her spouse's sexual demands to make her marriage work . And it makes me ponder " Should we not or should we speak up against marital rape ? #marital #rape #crimeagainstwomen #nirbhaya
Marital rape, also known as spousal rape, is non-consensual sex in which the perpetrator is the victim's spouse which is rarely reported in countries like India though it is a form of partner rape, of domestic violence, and of sexual abuse. Once widely condoned or ignored by law, spousal rape is now repudiated by international conventions and increasingly criminalised. Still, in many countries, spousal rape either remains legal, or is illegal but widely tolerated and accepted as a husband's prerogative.
Throughout much of the history, in most cultures, sex in marriage was considered a 'right', that could be taken by force, if 'denied'. As the concept of human rights started to develop in the 20th century, and with the arrival of second wave feminism, such views have become less widely held. The legal and social concept of marital rape, has developed, in most industrialised countries,Historically, most religions were interpreted as tolerating or ignoring forced sexual relations in marriage. Judaism has been considered an exception to this way of thinking; in Israel, in 1980, when the Israeli Supreme Court affirmed that marital rape is a crime, it was mostly religious arguments based on the Talmud that were given by the judges
Since widely spoken Nirbhaya case Indian rape laws were amended. after a committee was constituted under Justice Verna to recommend amendments to the Criminal Law so as to provide for quicker trial and enhanced punishment for criminals accused of committing sexual assault against women. The Committee submitted its report on January 23, 2013. According to the report submitted the rape in India is defined as under -
#Rape:
The Committee was of the view that rape and sexual assault are not merely crimes of passion but an expression of power. Rape should be retained as a separate offence and it should not be limited to penetration of the vagina, mouth or anus. Any non-consensual penetration of a sexual nature should be included in the definition of rape.
"The IPC differentiates between rape within marriage and outside marriage. Under the IPC sexual intercourse without consent is prohibited. However, an exception to the offence of rape exists in relation to un-consented sexual intercourse by a husband upon a wife. The Committee recommended that the exception to marital rape should be removed. Marriage should not be considered as an irrevocable consent to sexual acts. Therefore, with regard to an enquiry about whether the complainant consented to the sexual activity, the relationship between the victim and the accused should not be relevant. "
But the question remains when will women come forward barring all the pressures of society and become vocal about marital rape in countries like India ?

Ganga ,The River Ganges has several tales abandoned in her , probably each granule of sand in the river bed has something that remains undiscovered . Acoording to Hindu mythology since Ganga had descended from heaven to earth, she is also the vehicle of ascent, from earth to heaven. As the Triloka-patha-gamini, (Skt. triloka= "three worlds",patha = "road", gamini = "one who travels") of the Hindu tradition, she flows in heaven,earth, and the netherworld (as explained below ), and, consequently, is a "tirtha," or crossing point of all beings, the living as well as the dead. It is for this reason that the story of theavatarana is told at Shraddha ceremonies for the deceased in Hinduism, and Ganges water is used in Vedic rituals after death. #GANGA#THERIVERganges

In Hindu cosmology, Patala or Patal (Sanskrit: पाताल, Pātāla) denotes the seven lower regions of the universe - which are located under the earth. Patala is often translated as underworld or netherworld. Patala is composed of seven regions or lokas, the seventh and lowest of them is also called Patala or Naga-loka, the region of the Nagas. TheDanavas (demon sons of Danu), Daityas (demon sons of Diti), Yakshas and the snake-people Nagas live in the realms of Patala. According to Hindu cosmology, the universe is divided into the three worlds: Svarga (Heaven: six upper regions), Prithvi (earth) and Patala (the seven lower regions)- the underworld and netherworld.(wikipedia)

"Just The Way You Are
LYRICS
Ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhhh
[Verse 1:]
Oh, her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Yeah
I know, I know
When I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me, "Do I look okay?"
I say,
[Chorus:]
When I see your face (face, face...)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are).
Yeah
[Verse 2:]
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday,
Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfects what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say,
[Chorus:]
When I see your face (face, face...)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
And when you smile (smile, smile...)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
[Chorus:]
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
Tired of stuffy classical cocktails ? Well here is the cocktail recipe with difference from Brian Smith of Squeaky Bean’s bar at Denver whose fanciful menu includes a trio of cocktails prepared liquid-nitrogen style – a century-old cold-freeze technique . He uses liquid nitrogen to plunge the temperature of the glass to a point where even alcohol freezes once poured in. At 40 degrees below zero, the liquid nitrogen boils and evaporates, priming the glass for Smith’s pre-made concoctions, which turns into solid ice before gradually thawing.Smith’s liquid-nitrogen process allows the imbiber to essentially have two cocktails in one: A frozen one – and the original once the drink is thawed . #cocktail #thetomservo #drinks #recipe
2 oz Tequila Astral
1 oz Fresh Grapefruit juice
.5 oz Fresh Lime
.5 oz Agave Syrup
Liquid Nitrogen
Preparation
1)To prepare the cocktail glass to save it from shattering it needs to be chilled below 40 degrees
2)Rim the glass with salt before filling with liquid nitrogen to the brim. While the liquid nitrogen is settling down , shake the ingredients and strain. Ensure that the liquid nitrogen has boiled away or pour out the residue if any - now is the time to pour the cocktail into the glass. Initially you will enjoy the cocktail as a liquid but gradually it will freeze into a very velvety sorbet texture from the walls of the glass can be scooped out with a spoon.
The Last Word ,a Gin based cocktail originally developed at the Detroit Athletic Club. While the drink eventually fell out of favor, it has recently enjoyed a renewed popularity after being rediscovered as a cult hit in the Seattle area by bartender Murray Stenson during his tenure at the Zig Zag Café.

Selfies, A new way to stay ahead of your consorts all that you need to do is point the camera at yourself , smile or make a face ,look ugly or look hot , press the button and take a shot.!, If you are a gadget freak, or a social networking person , you will certainly know what a selfie means. A new phenomenon, that has taken over the new generation by storm. We donot know what kind of psychological factors drive a specific person to take a selfie and upload it to a social networking site. Everyone’s own situation is different but how good or bad it is to take a #selfie. . It has begun to worry some parents , while those who have kept up with the pace take it as passing trend. Well how good or bad is this new fad ?
A simple photograph of yourself taken by your own self with a mobile phone and shared on a networking site , is all about selfie . Once the picture is shared on the networking site it does the talking for you ! You can make a funny or an ugly face or even look at your best , its all about how you can gain attention and get as many likes .
Selfies a rage among teens. Surprisingly, a cause of concern for many parents who worry about this self-obsessive, narcissist next generation .In my opinion they are encouraging for those who by watching others share their selfies get inspired by clicking and sharing their selfies and over come their underconfidence . If you can flaunt a new outfit or your bangs or bags , over all anything about yoursef , a selfie shared on a social media site is good enough to do the talking for you !
We simply can't brand a trend 'too bad " only reflects on our inability to deal with change. Unlike the earlier generation, the younger crowd much more vocal , connected and used to e spontaneous interaction and also connected with the world.. They have a different perspective about their environment. They understand the power of digital communication and know well how to best use it to their advantage to move ahead and rise .

Dave Barry is right in saying “There's nothing wrong with enjoying looking at the surface of the ocean itself, except that when you finally see what goes on underwater,you realize that you've been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent.” But one can enjoy the vivid colours of #Haiffa #Ocean from the surface in these pictures.
“The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can't.”
