Despite wind and snow in the northern hemisphere, December is a very romantic time of year. There’s nothing better than snuggling up to a loved one in front of a crackling fireplace or cuddling in bed under a heavy quilt. But it can also be a very sad and lonely time for many people. Reach out to forgotten friends and relatives. Smile at a stranger. Visit a nursing home and cheer somebody up. Donate food and toys to the needy. And don’t forget our pet friends! Animal shelters appreciate donations of dog and cat food. This truly can be the best time of the year!

कशीदाकारी / Embroidery  – Kaushal Kishore

 

दिल रहता है छुपा अंदर किसी कोने में,

सुरक्षित और अछूता,

समय की निशानियों से मुक्त…

लेकिन खुले चेहरे पर,

गुजरते समय की

शीतल और गर्म हवाएं,

छोड़ जाती हैं पीछे कशीदाकारी अपनी,

झूर्रियों के रूप में…

🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡🪡

The heart lies hidden deep within, 

shielded and untouched, 

free from the traces of time… 

But, on the open face, 

the gentle and warm breezes 

of the passing years, 

leave their embroidery behind, 

in the form of wrinkles…

.
