The Riot of Colours at the Flower Show, Lalbagh, Bangalore

                    Lalbagh was one of my favourite spots in Bangalore, not just for its greenery and the foral clock, but because it's pretty close to the MTR restaurant. I was there in mid- January, and it was just in time for the flower show. My schedule was packed ( I was eager to catch up with a lot of friends), so I was not too sure whether I'd visit the place at all. I managed to be there for the morning walk, but the catch was that one could see the beauty of the show in its famed Glass House only from outside- the show would open only at 9:30 a.m. I could not do much justice in identifying the plants, but I'm sure you'd enjoy the beauty of the flowers.......

The Eiffel Tower could be seen from all sides, but I could watch the mermaid only from one side.

  Dollar Bahu

                   Sudha Murty

Penguin Books India, 2007, 142 pp, Rs. 175/-

          My reading of Sudha Murty was intermittent.  It all changed when a friend ‘flipkart’ed a copy of her latest book, ‘The Day I Stopped Drinking Milk’.  I ordered all her available books and read them, but will summarize only three novels.  This is the first one.
