Those Fresh Crisp enticing Carrots





Very often one finds carrots for sale in roadside stalls.

And sometimes one can see the process by which they get 'market-ready'.

Dhobi Ghat




This arrangement seems unique. I've never seen a similar one anywhere else so far.
Built by the British, it should be 100 years old at least say the dhobis who still use it. They remember their grandfathers using the dhobi ghat. Its maintained by the Municipality - hence the pristine condition.They pay a tax to use it and it remains exclusive to the old families.
Maybe the place where our clothes get 'dry-cleaned' :-)

The Road Less Travelled



Two Roads diverged...

A september Morning

September is the 'Second season' at Ooty. And today, the 1st started with off with a fine morning. The air was not too cold but crisp and the freshness of all the greens renewed by recent rains was invigorating.


At 7.30 a.m. I was at the Breeks stadium . A few brisk souls were out exercising while the frost steamed into the air as the sun came up.

Lone Rose

Roses are not my favorite flower really. But to have one grow in my own garden, makes it very special.
