Found this little fella outside on my terrace... one cold January morning.

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies. 

Harvest Festival...

So Pongal the Harvest Festival is in full swing here and the roads are colorfully decorated with kolam patterns. 

Here is another one...

And another one... Happy Pongal, Folks!

One Step at a Time...

Saw this at the Oxford book store, a quaint little book store with a neat hangout place, where one can browse through some great looking coffee table books while sipping on cappuccino  or eating a delicious sandwich or just getting lost in an awesome piece of chocolate cake.

A poem on a plaque...

So I saw this memorial plaque at the St. George's Cathedral.... the little poem on it made me stop in my tracks. Click on the picture for a larger view.

You can find a chisel, I can find a stone. Folks will be reading these words long after we are gone...
~ George Strait (from his song Write This Down)
