This weekend is perhaps dedicated for the rains, a slight drizzle continues keeping the trees wet and streets bit empty and the coziness pushing many to stay indoors.... today's morning walk was lonely....

Bandh Today!

The roads are breathing easy the traffic dropping significantly due to the Statewide state sponsored bandh the roads are taking a break from daily routine and I am sure city will breath easy!!

Forest Fire blooms...

In my neighborhood I am surrounded by many forest fire trees and this is just like an indicator of changing season for me, this being the sixth bloom I see in the city reminds me of the time i spent around and the seasonal clock ticking the years away~

Roadside..

I see this cart almost since last five years, quitely standing in a corner, selling hot tea and cigarettes and some munches, a good provider of quick breaks to commuters and passers by...

Morning Walks

Resumed my morning walk after a two week break due to work travel, early morning this busy 12th Main has a clam and quieter look and provides a pleasure walk before sun heats up the city again and trafic starts buliding up...

Neighbourhood walk...

The summer colors of Tabebuia are so beautiful, the entire tree is loaded with just flowers and lays a carpet on the street below, the house owners who preserved these roadside trees get to see this wonderful treat in the morning, noon and evening...walking around is great!!

Carlton Towers Fire...

Last weeks disasator when a major fire breakout in this iconic building called "Carlton Towers" on HAL airport road that took toll on 9 lives and left many injured. The top two floors where the most damage happends, after three dasy the building still wears ghostly looks of the shattered windows...

Friends, Gossips, Ice-Creams, Ciggies …

While catching up with friends seems to have a new combi, an ice candy in one hand and cigarette in another, discovered by this group. These youngsters are mingling on a lazy evening leaning on a wrongly parked car owned by one of them. There are many quieter roads in neighborhoods with small coffee shops or darshinis surrounding which such groups can be seen in evenings, late noon’s and entire day on weekends…

Conversations…

Life is all about conversations, a roadside catching up between friends reminds me such several occasions when you meet your friend/buddy unexpected and pullover and park your bike / cycle / moped taking out few moments together even when the topics don’t matter!!

Pick one!!

The fresh fruits & vegatables are neatly stacked in a small local vegetable shop in my neighbourhood. The good arrive early mornign and are arranged neatly in the shelf before fisrt customers arrive, this is one incentive we get reaching early enough…

Foggy Tales…

Last two days specially the Sunday morning was very foogy, the city pulled this dense fog blanket and made the morning very cold yet beautiful….
