Aussie Sunday

Father and son, happy to be together.

Reserved Forest! Prashanth was a little put off when I said it was not a patch .on the Ooty sholas. The trees look rather young dont they and the whole effect like Mudumalai

The beautiful beautiful view from Bald Hill... the seas are so greeny blue!And a special road goes along the coastline for many miles.. its fabulous.

Typical granma

Nice to hear....

Hi kalu... nice to hear about Sydney... enjoy to the core and forget about calories.. cos u can walk and drain them..try to post some pics..

Australia!

HI Everyone

Am in Sydney finally. And getting into the groove of life abroad. No worrying about water, hot and cold, electricity, gas, broadband...
This is genteel suburbia with broad roads, nice looking houses, quiet and peace, pavements, treelined streets, supermarkets all around within walking distance, bus station, railway station.. library closeby.
This is an ethnic neighbourhood and I myself am a little tired of seeing Indian faces.. not that they acknowledge you in any way.
The variety in the supermarkets is a little stunning and disconcerting. Too much of choice.
Prices are oh my.. I have to learn to think in dollars and not in rupees.
China is a great leveller in making the world flat and a little smaller.Most things are made there and seem to be sold cheaper in India.

The new vehicle here is the pram// everywhere and used in doubles/triples and as a shopping basket. Advaith being indian born refuses to sit in it for more than 15 min... but we are slowly getting better.

Days are long too with the sun setting at 8 p.m. really can't keep time with the sun.

ah yes the desserts.. enjoying them and the chocs..
pics sometime

Deepavali

Manged to find a profile of Surya.

Lamp painting, mehindi and Uthra and her friends dancing to some song....

Deepavali in Vancouver

Interesting Info :Of the 40 plus people there, other than Vishy and myself there was only one other person who was Tamil and only the 3 of us celebrate Diwali.
