That is arsenic upwind goes. As beingness goes ..... well, determination are days erstwhile I don't privation to crawl retired of furniture and would similar to marque a structure of my duvet and enactment buried nether that. But that is erstwhile Nature shows maine her 'jalwas' and pulls maine close out, making maine privation to creation and sing to the tune of 'These are a fewer of my favourite things'.

So present goes. These are a fewer of my favourite things:'

​

​

I archer the gardener who comes erstwhile a week to instrumentality a look astatine it. He informs maine that it is simply a nest. An ant nest I presume and inquire him to region it. "You privation to region it" helium asks. He informs maine that determination is an ovum successful it. Between his connection and my quality to recognize him, "Ant eggs?" I ask.

​

An egg! A BLUE egg!!! To maine it looks thing little than a aureate one!

Garden metropolis inactive retains its habitats beauteous overmuch dissimilar Chennai which has go a unfriendly metropolis for astir each species.

As you know, I person precocious built a location adjacent Maya Jaal successful Chennai wherever I installed 8 cameras for information reason. I bask listening (from the US( to the greeting birds and Sunset mundane done these cameras. It is enjoyable. Here successful the US, we are each saturated with truthful overmuch of nature.

Your snippet brought immoderate happiness aft I was bittersweet to spot CSK failing to suffice successful the hands of RCB. How did Bangalore negociate to support that predicted rainfall distant for a day? I conjecture RCB is destined to spell to the playoff.

How is the postulation successful Bangalore now? Last clip I visited Chennai, it is truly bad. When I spell to Chennai, I consciousness similar staying location astir of the time.

Am clueless astir cricket, truthful not overmuch I tin accidental to that.

The postulation successful Bangalore is arsenic atrocious arsenic usual. Despite each the beauteous highways we physique astatine breakneck speed, the roads wrong the metropolis are virtually non-existent - patches of roadworthy betwixt potholes and spine-breaking speedbreakers often installed astatine turnings is much similar it.

This astatine a junction connected the mode to work.

Somethings ne'er change.
