MyVista-World

A hot cup of tea by the sound of rain, the smell of fresh wet sand was refreshing something within me, the quiet mist was soaking my face as I was trying to snuggle myself in the quilt. Somehow a mist-free gray hair fell over my face and preferred to float dry to tell me, yeah it's your birthday and you are, maybe, not sure, but yes, getting older now. Often, a quiet birthday brings feign of emotions. Another year goes by circling the same good and bad perplexities of life. The heap of exemplar which roles in your lives (comparisons and more comparisons), the solution is either hug-out the problems or just sit on it. A series of thoughts is catapulted in every step of our lives. I call them Ela's ELF. Each letter is focussed on something as I ponder upon what I learned. Three E's of my life is Experience, Example, and Execution. A well-read professor of mine once said "you might have more knowledge than me, but right now I have more experience than you,...

Childhood is always memorable for all of us, our family, friends, daily fun routine, school everything we want to live over and over. I grew up in a far away town, filled with people from across country, a government colony to be very precise. My roots are from the cold hills of Garhwal, but my dad's job kept us warm for good long years in the heart of Madhya Pradesh. Dad used to call it a cosmopolitan city as people from all over India were employed here. We had friends from all over the states. Dad was not much friendly but he had a very Friendly friend whom we called Mishra Uncle (in India Aunty and uncles are not subjected for relatives but mainly for neighbors and family friends). He was a very joyous person full of life and energy. In my childhood, he was the best uncle to be around but this story is about his beautiful wife, Mishra Aunty. I don't have words to subject her affection and kindness for other people and especially for me. She was a tall lady ...

To refresh our-self with some cold breeze far away from the sunshine state, we (family of three) decided to take a small tour of the Great Smoky Mountains. We shopped for some winter clothes, as this was my sons first time in the snow and being in Florida means you have to prepare mentally for some cold because here we don't have winter months we have only winter weeks. We started our journey from Tampa by Friday afternoon and drove a little over 3 hours to take a break. Tip- If you are traveling with small children I will advise to search and be prepared in advance for your stops and if you have time search for some outlet near highways or shops like IKEA, Walmart because here kids can easily stretch their legs and you can grab some snack and can freshen up too, so its a kind of win-win. After driving for 6 hours, we checked in at Marietta, GA. Next morning we had our go-to breakfast and drove straight for 4 hours to reach our first destination, Cade Cove loop at Tennessee...
