Nature's blessing

If whole of India wait for something, then its the monsoon. If it fails the governments fall, farmer's lose their lives. If it exceeds it might flood the cities, drown the ripe crops. The monsoon which arrives by June is the most wonderful awesome phenomenon in Indian peninsula.

The dry parched rivers get new lease of life, the thirsty cattles get a respite from heat and they get new fresh grasses to feed on, the kids on vacation get a chance to float their new ships and play in the puddles. The monsoon is life.....

Mumbai - India's financial city

Mumbai is a city that comes in news every now and then. The financial hub , the bomb blasts,the bollywood stars, the diversity and density of population all makes it a constant reminder. The film slumdog millionaire captured the dark side of the mumbai city. Mumbai is more than that with highly posh residences and jaguar cars. This stands so close to the slum dwellings in many areas.
