modern day plague - terrorism

Category: thoughts & plans | Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2008 8:36 am

what is happening to our beautiful world? we in india are tensed because of the terrorist attack going on for the third day in mumbai. though we are far off, we feel so bad and helpless about the whole situation. what do they want? why do they hurt people? a lot of questions which may not get an answer at all. we are still waiting for the operations to end.

unwelcome guest

Category: thoughts & plans | Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2008 6:44 am

today i have towrite about the visitor in my garden.
i am not sure what time it entered into our garden, but around 3 in the afternoon on saturday, hearing a sound, i went to see if it was a stray dog. i found a large snake moving in coils. when i got a better view, it had something in its mouth, it was trying to swallow. then we could see two legs dangling, it was a frog. this is a rat snake which keeps coming in once in a while, so we are sort familiar with it. it is around 2 mts. long and must be old, it has some scar on the middle of its body. i took a few pictures of it, i hope it's ok to put them in.
it was still there at 6 pm. when and where it went off, i do not know.

caring for anthurium

Category: thoughts & plans | Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2008 6:27 am

one major job i have to is splitting and repotting anthuriums. i prefer doing it in the evenings, because it is cooler with setting sun. and my plants are doing well with the shade net housing. i am waiting for the new flowersto start.
did some pruning to the bonsais today. when i see the japanese bonsais i am not sure whether mine can be called bonsai at all. it defenitely is an amature's attempt.
some pics of how i started.

in and around the house

Category: thoughts & plans | Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2008 6:29 am

this is one of those days when i feel like doing a lot of things. getting the garden in order is one of my plans for today. there are some plants which need a lot of sun, and those that can be happy in the shade. the few roses which are in the pots are not doing very well. in our climate, they need a lot of pampering. so i thought of putting them in the ground and see how they will grow.
