with minimal effort.
We may meet a potential gardener today but frankly it’s an easy job
Shame about the eyesore across the road
Garden gets better

A garden takes work
Our garden provides enjoyment.
I’m sitting out in it now awaiting someone from the MCC to take away the waste.
…
It’s not only for sitting out.
It’s also provided hundreds of Mangoes for friends, family and neighbours (plus squirrels, birds including parakeets, and fruit bats) to share.
There’s still the later fruit smashing into the ground around me now. — They were too high to reach and crop.
We already know the MCC horticultural department and the commissioner from our partnership to creating Manjula’s memorial garden (see below).
We hope they can pick it up. We don’t want to see more waste dumped by the roadside.
Manjula’s Library
Somewhere to stop, read, reflect and remember.
The opportunities are not only in the library itself, but every space in and around our house offers a place for quiet reflection or when it’s not so quiet, meeting old and making new friends.
Join our family, including the birds attracted to the greenery bursting from our house, our pets… Lucie, billet-doux and
…. our garden.
Originally in pots on our roof, it’s now shifted to the park opposite with granite benches or hammocks available from the house.
Please come and enjoy.
Have we got it right? As in this article on how to nurture a personal library, “according to Cicero, if you have a library and a garden, you have everything you need.”
Manjula’s Mysore
It’s same but different….
…as it will continue to provide services to help people visiting Mysore, have a great time, through Mysore Bed and Breakfast and MyCycle Tours.
We’ll also commemorate Manjula through her gifts and now with the added extra of working with young people, to help them grow, develop and thrive..
….
Most recently we celebrated Manjula’s birth anniversary with an eventful day for visually impaired young women. Here’s our press release
We’ve helped with a young man’s education and plan to do more of that next year by supporting a young girl
We’ve also:
- sponsored meals at an ashram for older people
- sited benches in two parks in Mysore
- created a garden in the park opposite our house, we’ve always had a garden at the house but this is something else
- taken our team on holiday to the beach in Kerala
- provided almost 50 cycles as gifts to individuals and organisations
Manjula’s Mysore was our domain on the internet but we’ve now gone one step further and named the new company after the woman who made it all possible.
Manjula’s Mysore will continue to do good, reflecting Manjula’s kindness, through partnerships of NGOs, business and with our team of community volunteers.
They’re at it again
The wonderful team at Mysore City Corporation
Have kindly agreed to the extension of Manjula’s Garden in the park opposite our house.
Here’s the video I provided to make the case
Manjula gives again.
Remembering Manjula.
It’s all go..
We use any and every opportunity to recognise and remember, what would have been Manjula’s 48th Birthday is extra special.
On monday afternoon, 23rd August (postponed from Saturday due to a curfew) we have open-house for friends to drop-in for a drink and cake or sweets, to visit the garden we’ve just planted, see Manjula’s two painted portraits and have a chat.
Just in case 
the party girls get everywhere
Yet another day in the park
Creating a garden for MAnjula
There’s been two sorts of reactions to the garden which might provide some insights into people’s view of life, more later.
Another day in the park
Englishman and auto rickshaw drivers?
A day in the park
Preparing the ground for a project in the park opposite our house at Mysore Bed and Breakfast.
Satish MyCycle Director and project manager recruited the team and supervised the work without getting his hands dirty.
Even the monkeys were entertained but not by my stories.
Planting next week with the advice of Tanuja and the gardeners.
It’s all for you know who…
Me and MYCycle
