Raji's Ramblings: December 2013
http://rajirules.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 18 December 2013. Nothing works as well as flattery. I fall for it, flatly, each time. Some weeks ago I had this lovely comment on my latest (then). I enjoy your pics and words alike. Thought I will express it this way.". Pleased with this remark, I took a peek at the link. And was delighted to see that Aparna had seen fit to pass. On to me an award, which had been passed on to her from a blogger, in turn to be shared with ten other bloggers. The award is the Liebster award. Thank you, Aparna.

Seventh Chords: June 2012
http://seventhchords.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
The Journal of an Indian Tea Planter's Wife. Wednesday, June 20, 2012. Today an interesting creature happened to be passing by and stopped for a while outside the jali kamra. It looks like something out of Harry Potter, with the two serpent heads at the wing tips! Young Aruna, who works in the bungalow, was very happy to pose for the pictures. Links to this post.

Memories and Musings II - Life in Pondicherry: THREE WEDDINGS
http://lifeinpondicherry.blogspot.com/2011/09/three-weddings.html
Memories and Musings II - Life in Pondicherry. Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Continued from last post. Rajesh's wedding at Trichur. In the midst of mentally planning as to who would be ready to escort me to Chicago, I received a wedding invitation from Chitra (the daughter of my husband’s brother Viswanathan) informing me her sons were getting married in April this year; the eldest son Rajesh, on the second at Trichur; and Kartik, the younger one on the 17. A wedding in the family and that too in Trichur,...

Raji's Ramblings: December 2011
http://rajirules.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 13 December 2011. GOING BANANAS.OVER BANANAS. I never thought I could get so excited over a bunch of bananas. It is a commonplace fruit, a part of our daily diet, and one we see everyday in various shapes and sizes, at home and in the shops. So why this elation over these tiny ones, barely longer than my fingers! Because they came from our own front yard. Remarked that it looked like a lush tropical garden. Sadly, no pictures exist of those days. Chandrasekar is from the rural areas and came to.

Memories and Musings II - Life in Pondicherry: THE LUSCIOUS LITCHI
http://lifeinpondicherry.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-luscious-litchi_29.html
Memories and Musings II - Life in Pondicherry. Sunday, July 29, 2012. The fruit laden tree. The tree after the fruits were gone. Then there are are palm trees, peepul trees and a large rain tree. Two of the palm trees have money plants creeping over their trunks, with leaves as big as elephants ears. Tall the palm trees may be, but because of this, they look dwarfed when compared to other trees. The fruit laden branches. I don’t know. Delicious.Maiji Aunty, I love Litchies, so do my wife and daughter...

Raji's Ramblings: June 2013
http://rajirules.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 25 June 2013. It was supposed to be the best view we could have of the midsummer night's moon as it rose, closest to the earth than any other day this year. It was a pleasant day, and we packed a picnic dinner, and off we went to Magnuson Park to catch the moon. There were too many clouds, however, and we missed the moon, but in the west was a glorious kaleidoscope of shifting clouds, catching the brilliant hues of the evening sun at nine o'clock. All set to dine. Links to this post. Picture Win...
