Two little birds sitting on a wire, ‘obviously’ sparring….
I am closer to the sky
Then they tiff….. one turns away
I am not talking to you
And then there is a serious Ego Problem — they both look the other way…
I am not apologising first.…
And then they both flew away in different directions …..

When we got the house a year ago… the plan was for a garden. Not just a garden with flowering plants, but also fruits, veggies and spices….. mom and dad joked about growing grass – as their retirement plan…… at least I think it was a joke….
Nangargaon in Lonavala is normally beautiful….. but, come winter it just blooms with various colours…
The neighbourhood – Nangargaon, LonavalaÂ
Our garden was planted with bougainvillea …. which is abundant around the place… and Mr.Rokade (the gardner) had planted banana, lemon, papaya, mogra, kadipatta and tulsi….
My garden….. the first plant ever planted….
A couple of weeks ago, when we went to Lonavala, we went off an got some plants from the nursery…. we granted ourselves Rs.250 each and could buy what we wanted…. irrespective of what the others had purchased…..We came back with some lovely flowering plants…..
There are more… but i am afraid that this will look like a florists’ blog…. nothing wrong with that except that I don’t know the name of most of the flowers…. which is why the pics get exotic names like morning glory and orange swirl…. etc

The old premier taxis in mumbai are on their way out. many of them are ancient, and falling apart. their owners still drive them as though they were in a F1 race, and there was no other traffic around. Now who will get into an argument with someone who doesn’t mind their car getting bashed.

Yesterday, was the day when most of Mumbai was out saying bye bye to Ganpati. The little home Ganpati’s had their joyous send offs. 
Accompanied by band baja, and scores of bad dancers, the Ganpati’s wove their way through the streets of Mumbai to the sea, where they will be immersed. 
Families, devotees, and just fun loving citizens turned up to have fun, mauj and masti.. on a day that has come to taken on carnival like proportions. 
And what is amazing about this festival, more than any other religious festival ….. is the tenderness and absolute love with which people observe it. IT has gone beyond rituals and rites…. and into something where ‘God’ has become a personal friend, child, ….someone for whom people have affection and fondness, not fear and compulsion. 
A word of praise for the Mumbai Traffic Police …. once again the men in Khaki, kept the traffic unjammed, ensured that no one got stuck…. and all in all the good humour and cheer was maintained. Yesterday, I was in the area between Khar & Juhu – attending a baithak ….. it took me all of 40 minutes…. that is despite seeing 52 large Ganpati’s going for immersion. Pudcha Varshi… Laukar Ya…. you are already being missed
