First: "Eid Mubarak" to all LGs who celebrate and honour this festival.
Happy ‘National “All is Ours” Day’ to each of you…
Hi friends,
Are you aware of “National All is Ours Day”? - after reading this post, could you express how you would love to celebrate this special day? - Thanks.
April 8th is a universal “All Is Ours Day” that is beyond religion, nation or culture - To break the monotony/busy life to express thankfulness, enjoy the world and share happiness (& what we have).
There are three ways to enjoy this special and unique day; it's a day to:
Photo #2, Caption: A scarlet Macaw captured in Kisna Nature Park, Surat (Here) - this visit was accompanied, sponsored & guided by LG @Rushabh_Sindhav; @Het_patel also gave company.
I was aware of this day and I decided to try all these three options; so I thought and concluded a plan:
Here is how I celebrated this year
1. How I expressed my gratitude?
I sat in front of the photo of my father and mother who gifted me this ‘life’ & prayed for them; they taught me how to be ‘Humble’, ‘Truthful’, ‘Helpful’ and ‘Thankful’ to all. (I was asked to add respect even to the name of my servants!).
My father was the ‘head’ of our village and also a Medical Doctor - he used to demonstrate how to treat even a beggar with integrity and respect. Also, I have extreme respect and regard for my wife’s parents - I did meditation & prayer for all.
I express my gratitude to the Almighty for the respectful regard and precious support I have received in my life, from the local and global communities.
2. How I appreciated nature and my humble collections.
I went through my collections of photos of nature (&surroundings) and enjoyed the moments I shot them; I'm submitting a few humble collections in this post:

Photo #4, Caption: The verses are engraved on 24-carat golden foil; I still remember the scene I received it. (The Translation & Support provided by Our KashifMisidia ji, Pakistan) - Translation
3. Sharing my happiness:
I called upon two of my dearest friends (our friendship started in 1974, while I was doing my 2nd PG and still continues with the same warmth) and fixed lunch with them; we had some beer and had ‘banana leaf’ Kerala Lunch - then we sat down to cherish our golden memories of long fifty years of friendship!

Photo #6, Caption: This is ‘Rumi’ - the pet of one of my friends in whose house we assembled.
Hope you all enjoyed visiting this post.
Lastly, my passion:

Thanks for visiting this post and hope you enjoyed it.

A very unusual topic but nicely presented @TravellerG
50 years of friendship and companionship is truly praiseworthy - I sincerely wish many more years are added to it 💐
All photos are excellent - can't tell which one is better than the other.
Your latest camera too seems to be quite old - at least to me 😊
So, I wonder how old the old one is 🤔

I lack words to express my gratitude for your kindness and frankness... dear @Tushar_Suradkar
🙏
Yes, I felt that this "All is Ours Day" is very suitable for our Indian Heritage...
What is your opinion, please? = To express gratitude = Annual Bali arppan like...
Hmm... well the new camera is 2023 model but severely used... and the shot was taken in my iQoo 12, portrait mode, which is extremely sharp...
And my old camera:
I used to acquire New models and then give the previous one to team members...
But, this 1999 or so model was left behind ...
Once again thanks for your immense support...
🙏❤️🤝
Humbly accept my mistake... but, now corrected...🙏🙏🙏
