Happy Dussehra and Durga Puja

           It’s a nice long weekend, isn’t it ? Could have taken the time to go roaming in the hills somewhere, but it didn’t work out. So instead , slept late last night after listening to some old hindi songs and doing some surfing on the Iland. The “zing” is no longer there , I [...]

I’d shared with you earlier about my trip to Alwar  to meet Rajinder Singh, the Waterman, in my posts “A tribute to water”
