Flying bike !




















Bike... flying... No... Just a showroom display !

Trees and Accidents




















The 'tree lovers' all over the world must be very sad. But the 'bus passengers' at Vellayambalam ( Trivandrum) are very happy.
Our City Corporation is quite funny (.. ayyo.. is that the right word ? ) . They made a bus-bay two years back. But no bus ever stopped here. There were three huge trees. Last week, they have cut them. Look at the left overs.




















Another scene of the 'kill' . But please see the trap to kill ! A wide road, and no divider. An electric post at the middle. Speeding vehicles can hit the post any moment ! Some Policeman understood it, and he put a few red pegs there. Let's all pray ... nothing happens there.


Guarding KWA
















Kerala Water Authority - our 'jala daatavu' - is great.. really !
Look here... they have a water tap for display (a very old type they say !). And look.. who is guarding it !

Invader from the lost lands !




















Hey....someone walking up the car ?




















Oh... No... someone so tall ? Must be an invader from the lost lands !

Summer Cool




















It's summer .. and very hot. But under the red hot sun... yet so cool !
A scene right in front of the Railway Station, Trivandrum.

Who'll rule us ?













































Elections were very very hot ..! But election results must be hotter ..!
Here is a scene, before 8AM, from a Counting Centre (at Cotton Hill school, Trivandrum). Everyone is patiently waiting for the bell ... 8 AM, to start counting.

But that's not my point here is. Who'll rule us ? We, (not so) poor Indians ! Forecasts say, there won't be a lion. The only way is to manage by alliances of tiger, leopard, wolf, fox, elephant, and ...?

In the absence of a Lion , over the last few years, we saw how the Tiger and the Wolf ruled the country. Now ? I think it would be better if the Tiger and the Leopard form an alliance... and rule all of us (poor animals). Afterall, anything is possible in our country. So, why not make it a try ? Tiger, ... Leopard, ... are you both listening ?

{
I know, this is not necessary for you . However, here are the Stars in this story :-
Tiger : Congress
Leopard : BJP
Wolf : CPM
Elephant : BSP
Fox : SP ?
Lion : No cast

Shankar - Architect of relationships

Who is an architect ? Simply put, one who creates or builds buildings !
But for G.Shankar, the word 'architect' is insufficient to define him. He is certainly much more than a conventional 'architect'. He builds buildings and homes, right. But he also makes lasting relationships. That's what he is an architect for !


Maadhavikutty















I am very sad. One of my most favourite persons .. Maadhavikutty ... is sick. Paper report says, she is in a hospital, at Pune (where she lives now ), and is not responding to medicines.

I pray for her immediate recovery and good health. I wish many more beautiful stories and poems come from her.
Kamalaaa... we all love you ! We all pray for you.
