I Missed Bloggyland!

Hey my dear friends
I am back!!! After a long break...
I missed being here...in bloggy land. I missed art and the wonderful artists, poems and stories and the fabulous narrators. I am back to gobble up all that I missed :)
I had a great time visiting my homeland...my parents, relatives, friends and the family. It was great fun and am still suffering from the hangover!
Hope to come up with artwork soon...
Meanwhile this is a glimpse of my vacation...


My Ispiration, my teacher from the Upper Primary; Kantha Mam, whom I went to meet in Bangalore after 15 years!!!

King Mahabali and Vamanan paying a visit to our colony on the occasion of Onam (our Harvest Festival)

My daughter Anoushka (Krishna) enjoying the Monsoon.
A railway gate....I can't find such a one here in Dubai:)

On the way to Thrissur.

Palakkad-Thrissur highway.
'Ra' Temple under construction in Antar Manasa, Bangalore. First of it's kind.
Antar Manasa, a wholly out of the world place. You could just sit there for hours and hours.

A blooming sight!

Sorry! Took a while to welcome you back. Been keeping busy behind your back. Planning a trip to Bangalore myself. Have loadsa friends there. I shifted to Bombay last month. Liking it here a lot. :)

The pics are lovely, though meditation and I are definitely not made for each other. :D
