Three's A Charm ... #BarAThon

I am taking part in the Blog-A-Rhythm Bar-a-thon challenge. The theme can be anything that requires grit and endurance, but not necessarily fitness related. And there are daily prompts. 

So my theme is simple, it's a blogging marathon about things to do with me in pictures, starting at one and ending at seven.

Today's prompt is Three's A Crowd, but instead I'm going to write on Three's A Charm.

I saw these Christmas ornaments going at a throwaway price last Christmas. I really didn't know what they would look like when I bought them, but I was intrigued and since they were so cheap I thought I would pick them up and check them out. 

These run on solar power and their battery life is very short, a couple of hours at best. So on a cloudy day, they pretty much stay unlit. 

But when the sun's out and the battery is charged up, they are a delight to look at in the dark. They sit on my window sill and I love looking at them.

In this case three is not a crowd, instead it's a charm!

Have you ever bought something with little expectation but turned out quite delightful? Share in the comments.

Lights is the word for L #SixWordSaturday #ABCWednesday

Daytime and lights on - wasted electricity

These pictures were taken from the bus on my way to work in the morning a few days ago at approximately 8.00am. 

Couldn't help notice the lights on. Such a waste of electricity.

This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Light"

So here are my "Light" pics

Lights at the Bronx Zoo New York
It was a very cold day and we didn't get to see many animals but the lights were amazing. It was well worth a visit to the zoo just to see the lights.

Disney Lights, Los Angeles.
We were at Disneyland just a week before Christmas and the lights were awesome. And even though it bucketed down that day (oh yes it rains at Disney too), the lights were so beautiful, they just lifted our spirits.

City Lights, Mumbai, India.
This was taken from my uncle's place. Fabulous views from his apartment. We watched the fireworks at New Year's Eve unfortunately didn't take those pics. I think some moments you have to enjoy without a camera.

The Festival of Lights

October 26 2011 Indians all over the world celebrate Diwali the festival of lights.

Diwali signifies the end of a year and the beginning of a new one, the end of any darkness in our lives and the hope of bright and happy days. Hence the lighting of the lamps or diyas.

Some Indian communities celebrate the day after Diwali as the New Year.

So here's wishing all of you a very Happy Diwali and a Happy New Year or Sal Mubarak (sal = year, mubarak = auspicious blessings).

Wish you all peace, love, good health, prosperity and joy.

Here are my Diwali lights

The Mirage, Las Vegas

The Mirage was our hotel in Las Vegas. It is a beautiful hotel.

Lots of things to do at the Mirage (other than the casino) - the tigers, the secret garden, the dolphins, the volcano.

Here are some pics of the Mirage

Caesars Palace, Las Vegas

The Caesars Palace is named after the Roman General Julius Caesar to evoke thoughts of royalty.

It's a grand hotel. The ceiling simulates the sky - an interesting feature.

Bellagio, Las Vegas

The Bellagio is based on the Lake Como resort of Bellagio in Italy.

The Christmas decorations were beautiful and the ceiling was quite amazing.

And the fountains set to music were so much fun to watch. The day we were there, they danced to "Hey Big Spender".

Here are some of my pics.

Luxor, Las Vegas

Las Vegas is such a fun city. Over the next few days I'll post some of my pics from Las Vegas.

And I'll start with The Luxor.

It's the closest I've been to the pyramids. (The real thing is of course on my places to see list).

The Luxor looks pretty grand from the outside but the inside is quite eerie.

An interesting fact about the Luxor (taken from wikipedia): The tip of the pyramid contains a fixed position spotlight that points directly upward and is claimed to be the brightest beam in the world.
