PADE Day 6 Layer

Welcome to Day 6 of PADE

We have had fun filled first 5 days of PADE, looking forward to more!

Theme for today is “Layer”

"Years of  rust,

Layers on layers

I wonder what your story is"

This photograph is of a "Cave at Petra".....Each layer represents untold stories,untouched experiences that we can only guess. There are times when you would want nature to talk and not talk. I wish these layers could talk, so I could see the unfold of centuries old tales but at the same time I do not want them to not talk, I do not want the mystery to solve!

Theme for today is “Distance”

Here is my interpretation;

(C) Juztamom

“The more I walk

the longer is the distance

Mirage in a desert”

This photograph was taken at the heart of Judean Desert Israel....A look at it and you would realise the force of the nature. It’s huge; it’s deep, the distance endless. The image reminds me of our endless journey, the race to cover the distance and the mirage called lif e

PADE Day 2 "Books"

Welcome to Day 2 of PADE. Thank you for the warm welcome on Day 1.

The theme for today is “Books”

Here is my interpretation of the theme.

This is a photograph of “Bhagwat geeta”. It was gifted to me 9 years back by my mother when I was moving out of the house. She handed it to me and told me

“"nainam chindanti shastrani
nainam dahati pavakah
na chainam kledayanty apo
na sosayati marutah"

(Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 23) 

"Sri Krishna said: The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind."

She passed on a valuable lesson, to never change your soul, your core, your values. I held it close to my heart and promised her to always remain true to my heart, true to myself. Since then I have read it so many times..have read so many verses and the surprising thing is...each verse can be interpreted in so many different ways. In a way it has answers to all the questions.

We look forward to visiting you all and seeing your interpretation of the theme! We will be announcing the "Shutterbug of the day" for Alone very shortly.

Theme for tomorrow is "Candles"

PADE Day 1 "Alone"

A very warm welcome to the first day of PADE. 

The theme for Day 1 is Alone.

Here is my interpretation of the theme

(C) Juz A Mum

"Hands held

Tears wiped

Sorrows exchanged

Smiles swapped

United in love

Alone but not alone"

This photograph was taken at an NGO for girls near my home. A place marked with innumerable painful stories and inexpressible laughters.

We look forward to visiting you all and seeing your interpretation of the theme!

Memories

Late night chats, tucked in with you

Nothing to plan, nothing to worry,

Endless words, incessant chatter

Relentless gossips and inaudible laughters

You spoke I gasped, I spoke you grinned

You cried I wept, I sobbed you cried

Hands held together, nothing left unsaid

Hearts conjoined, tucked in the bed

The hidden signals, the veiled curses,

Your nose twist, my invisible wink, our rolling of eyes

Neighbourhood Romeos, my whistles, our sprints and our lies

Getting caught, getting punished, their shouts and sighs

Our promise to never do it again

And then doing it again

Never ending fun, never ending lessons

Memories of adolescence

Countless days

Countless nights

Countless moments with you

"Dedicated to my sweetheart sis...My best friend for life"

Unveiling the themes for PADE

We will be doing themes in the order 1 -31. You are welcome to do it with us and leave your post links in the linky tool below each post for the challenge starting 1st July.

We’ll announce the “Shutterbug of the day” everyday from the entries we receive through the linky tool each day. 

From those 31 Shutterbugs, we’ll select one “Ace Shutterbug” in the end of July.

You also have the option to do the challenge in any order.

Photo a day experiment PADE!

“A picture is a secret about a secret, the more it tells you the less you know.”-Diane A

A fellow blogger and friend Ritu KT and I, thought it would be fun to challenge ourselves by capturing special moments of each day for a month. But as we are bloggers at heart, we decided to share our journey with our readers. And what's the better way to do so than to co-host a 31-day Photo Challenge?!

PADE (Photo A Day Experiment)!

It is a 31 day photo challenge wherein each participant will post an image according to the theme of the day

What are the points to remember?

• Have a valid blog
• Grab the participant (I'm part of PADE) badge shared above and display on your blog
• A banner with all 31 themes will be available on this post shortly
• Check out the themes for each day and make sure to click a photo related to the theme (an archived image also can be used)
• There are no rules on interpretation of themes, you can be creative and interpret the theme as per your understanding
• You can select any theme of the 31 themes and use it but doing it in order per day will ensure that hosts will visit your blog and you stand a chance to be the Shutterbug of the Day and at the end of the month - Ace Shutterbug!
• Share the photograph on your blog
• Submit your blog entry link through the linky tool embedded below this post so that we can evaluate all the entries once the day is over. Multiple entries on same day are not allowed. (The link will be visible only during the month of July)
• Each entry should have a line at the end of the post saying – "This post is my entry for the PADE conducted by “Just a mom” or “ Things to rave about”
