The Migration

Witnessed this bi-annual migration yesterday from my living room. These nomads, probably native to Rajasthan, can be seen moving from one location to another once during the onset of summers, and again when the winters start.


Their belongings aren't many.... both the children and their cots fit in very well on the donkey's back. But you have to see the number of sheep that they take around with themselves! What the picture shows is just nothing. They had a huge herd that seemed to go on and on. Certainly not a sight that you can hope to see in a big city!

Meanwhile we are also contemplating a migration. Sometimes the time comes when you just have to let go, and go with the flow instead. So while there aren't any decisions yet, the thought is definitely in our heads. Let us see what Time makes of it....

Eco-Friendly Diwali

We celebrated an eco-friendly Diwali this year with no crackers.


Not that it made us inhale any less smoke, given that we had neighbours who went berserk! But our decorations were all kept natural and floral...


Including the pooja decorations.


After all it is the festival of lights....


Not one of sound and pollution!


Hope better sense prevails next year.
