Shopping Break...

Shopping is tiring, at times if the elders are in the clan this warrants a short break just sitting on the shop stairs for few moments like this family...

Sugarcane juice...

Summer demands coolers, and the roadside cane juice vendor get creative adding mint, lemons or ginger to the ice cooled sweet fresh sugarcane juice. The quick thirst quencher and sugar supplement to fight back the summer heat!!

Summer transition..

Its cool in the mornings and hot in the noon, the winter to summer transition is in progress, good time for a morning walk and hot coffee and noons with cold beverages!!

Aftermints!!

Knowing the varieties and range of delicacies found in the indian food that is concentrated in the IT city, the aftermints are not lagging behind, the kind of varieties it offeres makes one forget the lunch or dinner itself!! The aftermints, known as mukhwas remain the top of the list for foodies!!

Tea & Coffee...

Seasonal Beginings..

The fall is over for few trees that are quick to wear the new colors, these tender leaves are the signes of the pages turning for natures calender...

Handloom Silk..

A Hand loom exhibition of Silk varieties from all over India was organized on Palace grounds in the city, the work was worth a visit. Such exhibitions are regular events in the city helping people buy textiles from various parts of the country without having to travel. Another benefit is all under one roof thus goods are available at affordable cost due to competition!!
