praise

Thought behind the thought:

Recently designjatra completed two hundred quotes. We were really humbled by the response we got from our members. Everyone lauded us on our work and told us how designjatra has brought beauty and happiness to their everyday lives. The time to take stock has come and we need to seriously think about how we are going to move to the next logical step in adding value to the blog. Though the praise has literally put us on cloud nine we need to stop, think and analyze at this point as to what should be our destination and chart our journey towards it. Two hundred is not where we stop, it is a milestone that eggs us on. So many more miles to go and many more miles to come.

About the Art:

The northern lights are a unique phenomenon. An aurora is a natural display of light in the sky that is truly spectacular. It gets its name from the Latin word aurora, meaning "sunrise" or the Roman goddess of dawn. This phenomenon is mainly seen in the high latitude of the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Auroras are caused by charged electrons and protons. When they are entering the atmosphere from above ionisation occurs and due to the excitation of atmospheric constituents optical emissions are created. The resultant is an amazing light show that leaves one spell bound. Nature truly is the greatest artist and when she puts on the show all we can do is watch in awe.
