In full bloom....

I am seriously tempted to use our Blogdost Nitin Rai's stunning images as gigantic posters! He shot them in Portland at the Farmer's Market.... and when I saw them, I felt instantly upbeat. I love the many varieties of Hibiscus I grow myself. Each new bloom becomes an offering to my Ganpati,

Last night, after the grand Parikrma function at the Taj Land's End, I noticed several unwanted bouquets lying in a corner. The roses were perfect - yellow and red. I brought mine home and asked Arundhati to photograph them in the slanted, golden evening light. I presented another bouquet to my grand-daughter Anasuya Devi... but she preferred her new baby strolley!

Tonight, I am taking my girls out to dinner at our favourite restaurant, Wasabi. What a day! Dosas for lunch and Black Cod for dinner.
