Manjula’s favourite
Together with her roses
It was always fun in July anticipating the day it would bloom
There would be a build up over a week trying to guess which one evening we would leave the house to be hit by its amazing aroma which drew us to the beautiful one-night-only complexity.
Please sir, I can’t leave before Manjula’s favourite flower blossoms. More later on this epic story
Meanwhile SB leaves for a court. — a different one.
Our new home… where we’ve brought twenty years of memories.
Our memory wall
Our portraits of MAnjula.
Our sponsor
Typical weekend.
Florian reaches 50, young and very young people visit the library, go shopping and share lunch.
A relief from Bangalore… ?
I expect it is a relief to escape the traffic.
Ashish came on one of his timely (they always are) visits. He’s a best example of how friends introduce us to new friends, originally brought to us by Anna, this time he kindly introduces to another new friend — Nesan
It’s one of the great benefits of sharing our home.
As usual laden with gifts and treating us all. He stocks us up with an incredible range of goodies.
Luka was overcome with excitement,
After our visit to the Nursery for garden additions.
We joke about getting away from Bangalore but we all value the change, so perhaps it’s time for a holiday once the court thing is resolved.
Fact is the traffic is getting too much in Mysore!
Glowing
Garden at 179
Spot the odd one’s out
A park that MAnjula and I loved.
We’d be ‘young’ lovers here walking, resting, being attentive and present for each other.
It’s now a short cycle ride from no 179
Here, I’m just opposite what might have been the first all India radio broadcaster.
These pics do not show the park at its best but I’m resting!
Who’s the very young guy who dive bombed my photo?
I’m not old, right? Or so I keep getting told by those who care.
Centre of Gravity
Chandrika and Mani collected Kaveri to go to school this morning.
Beforehand we had a conversation about ‘centre of gravity’ and how more people on two wheeler makes it less stable.
I do worry that we’re not careful enough.
Cycle to school
Kaveri suggested we cycle to school. So after a ‘dry run’ on Sunday and a potential wet one yesterday we finally launched today.
We’ve cycled together for over three years and she was confident cycling before we met but it’s provided an opportunity to improve our safe cycling.
Between this and pillion on my Enfield like me, she’s pointing out all the reckless incorrect road behaviour.
That’s my girl
