1/19 Did you know Bengaluru has a diverse collection of trees that bloom all year? When the city was planned aeons ago, the trees were chosen in such a way that when one tree ceased blooming, another tree took its place. Bengaluru's seasons are a floral symphony. 2/19 Even during the rainiest months, there is a tree that's adorned with blossoms. Apart from seasonal trees,there are perennial ones that blossom all year, filling in the tiny gaps in the flowering season. Bengaluru's air is always fragrant, hence its moniker, The Garden City.

This tweet is in memory of my father who would have celebrated his 78th birthday today. The house is the one he grew up in Amaravathipudur, near Karaikudi. While the place was always hot and dry from the red arid soil, this house a green heaven. It was self sufficient. My periappa and periamma grew their vegetables. Huge pumpkins, cabbages, beans, tomatoes, drumstick tree along with mango and jackfruit. The water from the well would feed the plants. On one side the ground would be a carpet of kanakambaram flowers.

Happy Dasara, Folks.

So this happened today. A guy came rang the bell. Asked who it was and he said courier. He gave me this packet and said cash on delivery. It was in my husband’s name. @BlrCityPolice Neither did the packet have any from address nor any barcode city stamping. Asked him which courier and he said blue dart. Asked him for the acknowledgment sheet and he said he did not have any. He asked for the packet back, asked me to collect it from the office @BlrCityPolice
