ಪುಷ್ಪ ಪ್ರದರ್ಶನ

ಹೂವೆ ಹೂವೆ, ಹೂವೆ ಹೂವೆ,

ನಿನ್ನೀ ನಗುವಿಗೆ ಕಾರಣ ವೇನೇ ..




ಹುವಾ ರೋಜಾ ಹುವಾ, ಹುವಾ ನನ್ನ ಜೀವಾ



ಈ ಗುಲಾಬಿಯು ನಿಮಗಾಗಿ, ಇದು ಚೆಲ್ಲುವ ಪರಿಮಳ ನಿಮಗಾಗಿ

ಆಗ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಇರೊ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಸಂಕೇತ ತಾಜ್ ಅನ್ನು , ರೇಡಿಯೋ ಮಿರ್ಚಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ತಂದಿದೆ.




ವಾಃ ತಾಜ್. ಅರೆ ಆಗ್ರಾ ಇಂದ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿಗೆ ಬರೋವಾಗ ತಾಜ್ makeup ಮಾಡ್ಕೊಂಡಿದೆ.

ಇಸ್ರೊ ಇಂದ ಒಂದು rocket ಕಾಣೆ ಆಗಿದೆ ಅಂತ ಪತ್ರಿಕೇಲಿ ಓದಿದ್ದೆ.



ಅರೆ ಕಳೆದುಹೋದ rocket ಇಲ್ಲಿದೆ.


ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ ದಿನಾಚರಣೆ ಆಚರಿಸಲು ಬೆಂಗೆಳೂರಿಗೆ ಬಂದ ಹಕ್ಕಿಗಳು


ನಾವು ಹೊರಡೋಣ?

Lumbini Garden

Not Friday the 13Th but Sunday 13th of May 2007 we decided to visit Lumbini Garden near Nagavara. We started from Rajajinagar at 5.15pm and started towards Lumbini. We reached around 6pm . Garden is located on the Nagavara ring road.We were astonished to see the crowd near the entrance. I couldn't capture the crowd in the snap :-) So here is the snap of the entrance with 3 men. Thanks to flickr.com.


We managed to get the entrance ticket paying Rs30 per head and entered the Lumbini Garden/Nagavara Lake. There was a huge crowd waiting to get the ticket and enter the garden. But inside the garden rush was probably 10 times the number waiting outside. Rush reminded me of "Sirsi Marikamba fair".

Kids were happy climbing the rock and others very busy eating the snack.Surprisingly people were busy eating/watching others and not enjoying the nature. Taking "banana baji" and coffee we decided to tell nature don't feel bad we are here to watch you. You can see us relaxing sitting on chair with cup of coffee? :-) No then imagine.
We spent some time relaxing here. Sun said he is tiered and want to take rest.we said wait a minute we want to catch you in our camera. So nice of him, he posed for photo.
After having a photo session with sun we decided to explore other part of garden. There is a "Artificial Beach" but we couldn't see as there was huge crowd waiting to enter and we decided to come back one more time to see beach in Bangalore.


No Doubt its a beautiful garden but lake still stinks. Lake is not as clean as Sanky Tank in Bangalore. People are allowed to carry eatables inside the garden so more the people more dirty its going to be. Its quite a big garden now and its going to be bigger in future. One side is still under development.
Our legs started saying they need rest and giving respect to their words we started back home.

A visit to Cubbon Park

My in-laws had some work in Pensioner's office. Pensioner's office is located in Cubbon Park. Yes its inside the beautiful Cubbon Park.We started from home and drew in front of neighbours envy owner's pride "Vidhana Souda" to reach Cubbon Park.
Any time infront of Vidhana Soudha I remember my ride from Banshankari IInd stage to Cunningham road. I was getting to see the beauty of Vidhana Soudha in all
seasons. With good old memories entered Cubbon park.All the trees were looking so beautiful.That raises a question why don't we have Beautiful Tree pageant :-).

All is not well always. Same at Cubbon Park. I was disappointed to see how badly the surroundings of pensioner's office was maintained.

In-laws went to the office and I preferred to Sit below a mango tree listening to music.A person came in car , parked the car , took one book and started reading sitting below the tree.I have never tried reading sitting below a tree. I think I should try at least once to find how it feels.

My husband was exploring Cubbon park and found few were playing tennis. One of my favorite sport is tennis(I don't know to play :-(). I decided to spend rest of the time in Cubbon park watching people play tennis in bright sun.80% of the audience were in their 60s. I thought I will
have 5 or 10 minutes so preferred to stand. But One of the audience there asked me to sit by vacating the chair. It was so nice of him. I sat watching them play. I was amazed to see them play in bright Sun. First they practiced and they started playing the match. My in-laws work took good amount of time and I got to watch tennis for 45 minutes. Thanks to the person for offering me chair.

I always love walking in Cubbon Park or Lalbagh. This visit was one more memorable one.
Even though it was not as good a treat to eye as watching Federror play. But it was far better than watching our cricketers in WC :-)
