Colors of Joy

After returning back from holidays it does take some time to set in to the routines back. I arrived on Saturday early morning and as much as I enjoyed the place, I was also feeling good to be back home. I was missing my bed and food the most. It's always uncomfortable for me to sleep on hotel beds, theirs pillows are extra soft and even their mattresses. I am used to a hard pillow and mattress, that's comfortable for me, so the soft ones do not give me comfortable sleep. For food I was craving for my home food, I had asked my cook to prepare a nice Prawns Pulao yesterday, which she did and I relished it so much, like I was eating after ages.....hehe. Turkish food is very good, its mostly different types of Kebabs, but then I was bored after a couple of meals and I needed my Indian flavors, which I could not find there. Anyways but then travelling is also important so then these things take a back seat, and during travelling by end of the day I am so tired that even if the bedding is not very comfortable I fall asleep and food there is no choice but to have.

After reaching home, yesterday it was all about unpacking and laundry, there is so much laundry and I have been doing it in parts, managed to complete most of it. Even a 10 days break from home feels like I was gone for a long time. Honestly I am still having the holiday hangover and I guess it will take 2 to 3 days more to get out of it. Though there was not much time difference, but the travel was exhausting. From morning till night we were outdoors, walking a minimum of 7 to 10 kms daily.

Today going a little slow, I just want to share some flower beauty of Istanbul. Winter is almost getting over and there is not much color in the city yet but some of the areas still have the beauty of flowers which I captured.
