Flowers at God's Window #Graskop #SA #PhotoYatra #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends,

Flowers are lovely and there is nothing that beats them in terms of giving the divine pleasure to the eyes and the heart. They are truly a gift from nature and we shall continue to take their photos and share with the world. 

Why do people and governments make parks and botanical gardens? 

It's always to bring pleasure to human beings in terms of fragrance, beauty, symmetry and asymmetry, design, and colors of the best gifts of nature. Each country spends a huge amount of money to maintain these beautiful gifts of nature and there are jobs assigned to create and take care of the garden. 

But that doesn't mean flowers will survive where they are taken care of, at the God's Window there is no gardener in view but the flowers survive in their natural habitat without the disturbance of human hands. 

Nature has it the way of taking care of human beings and flowers are something that brings happiness to the minds of people who needs hope, they are presented to the sick and needy to wish him to get well soon, they are presented to the dead to pay homage, they are presented to the partners for the representation of the love towards each other. 

God's Window is a beautiful place to spend a few hours in the evenings and morning amidst nature and the view to live for. They have a tropical rainforest walk which is around 100meters and it is really great to walk through to reach God's Window. All photos are taken by Aashish Rai using Nikon D7000 and an 18-105mm kit lens. 

Namaste!!!

A Secret Admirer Wink @PilanesbergNP #PhotoYatra #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends, 

I know I am smart and got looks too and above all I am charming but then I never expected that it will have some effects on the animals at Pilanesburg National Park, Near Suncity, South Africa. Let's go further into the park and check if she is an admirer or it was just a flirt. 

The place is 200km away from Johannesburg and there are several gates to enter the park after getting a day visitor's pass. Generally the gates times are from 6 am to 6 pm but changes every season by thirty minutes or so. The ticket prices are affordable as adults pay R80 and kids R30 and if you are driving an SUV it will cost you R40 more. Bakubeng Gate is the most preferred gate but you can also enter using Kwa-Maritane Gate or Manyane Gate. 

The animal is shying away from the camera and in Pilanesberg National Park you will find a range of animals. From the Big 5 namely Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Wild Beast and Rhino the park has it all. I have been to this place for a day trip many times from Johannesburg, South Africa. Suncity, as you know, is famous for the resort where Miss World and other events happen from time to time. 

Pilanesberg National Park offers several lookout points, small and big dams, waterholes, picnic spots, and braai areas. There are several 3-5 star lodges and resorts covering the several gates of the park and there is an airport in case you want to take a 30 minutes flight from Johannesburg to the park. A lot of other animals will be showcased in more posts coming soon. 

Namaste!!!

Reflecting Your True Self #PhotoYatra #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends,

Reflecting to see what's inside of the universe is generally shown in the sci-fi movies where they try to find the new dimensions available and how to travel far and wide to the same. 

Sometimes you do visit someplace where you definitely need to see for the signs that all points towards reflecting inside of us and identify what is our true potential. 

I am working on looking inside of me and always keep on checking my behavior at the end of the day to reflect on all the decisions, gossips and actions I took and what I could have done and handled better. 

We might say that we are busy and one day when we will be free we will check what's happening inside of us. But the main part is that as we go ahead in our lives our reflections are part of ourselves and that's why you see a lot of journals and books on journalling are coming to make you aware of these daily reflections. As we move further, do reflect and comment on what journaling method you are getting the best output from. Don't forget to realize your potential, my friends. 

All photos are taken using Nikon D7000 at Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden, Roodepoort, Johannesburg, South Africa. 

Namaste!!!

Photo Walk - Gardens of the Nature 7 #TheLifesWay #PhotoYatra

Hi Guys, 

It's time of revivals and resurrections and so is my Photo Walk series coming back to life again as I saw my camera SD cards full of new flowers and pictures taken using Samsung NX300 Mirrorless camera. All these photos are taken in one of my friend's garden during a kid's birthday party.

The beauty is in white Rose and the soft yellow glow inside brings out the effect we all have in our soul shining bright inside all of us.

The Pink Rose makes it more poetic and brings all the colors of love and passion in our lives. It's random and choatic symmetry and so is life to live with and enjoy.

Changing colors towards Red and what is created is truly painting on the canvas. The chaos of the changing seasons is bringing everyone to run around but a single look on me can bring the peace you want in life.

And once again it's time to remain open and learn from all sides and directions and from everyone worth listening to. We need to be all receptive for the universe to grant us our wishes and dreams.

Thanks once again to the White Rose buds transforming into an angel like flower. Every change brings in a new hope that something great is in store for us. I too wish all of you to accept changes and be grateful each day of your life and enjoy your life on Planet Earth!

Cheers!!!

Photo Walk - Gardens of the Nature 6

Hi Guys,

Amazing are the colors of nature and I love it a lot. I visited Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden in Roodepoort, Johanesburg and came across some of the beautiful creations of nature. Check them on facebook


Stay Together to bring beauty all around you.

So what if it's a day, I can create a twinkling effect right in full sunshine!

Blood is all around in Game of Thrones and so am I, full of color!

The Power of One - I want world peace and a uniformity all around to treat everyone as one!

I am omnidirectional and collecting all the negativity to convert it into Smiles, joy and laughter!

The moon shining bright amongst the twinkling stars and so can you! The yellow represents the SOUL that is the living force for all of us to shine brighter and brighter!

Every moment is great when you are one with nature! Do go and take a walk in a park near you and enjoy the beauty! 

Cheers!!!

Photo Walk - Gardens of the Nature 5

Hi Guys,

Nature is so unique and brings in a lot of satisfaction to the heart if you open your eyes to it. I enjoyed a lot of it as my room was just next to the back garden in London. Some of these snaps were taken when Roses were in full bloom in there. I really enjoyed watching them grow and they also brings in a lot of fragrance in the air. 

A bunch of them together filling in the colors of the rainbow. A bouquet of these when presented together can bring SMILES to anyone & anywhere in the world.

The unique symmetry of the flowers and it's whole build makes you wonder the design capabilities that nature has. Even Burj Khalifa design is inspired by a flower which is also mentioned on it's wikipedia page.

Leaving you all with the though of fresh rains on the rose leaves and the several memories that strikes your heart and brains at the same time. Everyone will have a memory that they will remember seeing the fresh dew drops on the flowers.

Keep enjoying nature and I hope that I will be able to capture more soon here in Johannesburg.

Cheers!!!

Photo Walk - Gardens of the Nature 2

Hi Guys,

In continuation of the series, some other flowers that I came across and really makes the world a beautiful place. 

 If you have ever visited any garden then it’s the first thing that we notice. 

The sight of looking at a lot of flowers in full bloom really makes our heart happy and grateful.

I feel hopeful that no matter what’s our present state of life, we too are going to have a great time sooner than later. 

 With every passing day, a little bud inside all of us is growing into a flower bringing the best out of us. 

Cheers!!!

Moments of Silence

Hi Guys,

Silence is required for a lot of moments, before a moment and after a moment and it speak volumes about us. It helps us find the right points of our lives, where we feel stressed out. It brings in fresh thoughts where we find that power to overtake whatever lies ahead of us. It’s also about the time where we seek to enjoy our own company. These moments or time spent will remain cherished in our memories forever and ever.

We all need some moments of silence before we barge on to something that requires our full focus and attention. The bird seems to be focusing on its next seed of grain for its survival. We all need to survive in this big corporate world and with all the noises around us, we do need to catch on some of these moments of silence to keep ourselves ready for the attack. I am on it guys…don't disturb :-)

Cheers!!!
