I spent my early childhood (until Class 3) in a small place called Chickaballapur. Unlike the present day, parents used to send their children to school by themselves. Many fears that exist today - of safety - didn’t rankle them much then. I remember going to school by myself from Class I. And, while going to school (many times, with friends ( Read more... )

'Chickaballapur' sounds familiar. Where is it?

The butterfly on the purple flower is facing the wrong direction or it has some covert ways of getting to the nectar :P

We have an abundance of these yellow coloured butterflies (I just found out that the species are called Sulfurs) http://www.butterflyutopia.com/BIG/140.jpg . I love watching them. When they are flying about, all you see is the bright blob of yellow floating past your vision and on to the green leaves. They look great on a sunny day. Nice pictures.

You finally put up a picture of yourself. It's funny how people look so different from how we imagine them to be from their online profiles. But then now that I think about it, I can't even remember what exactly I was expecting. heh.

Chickaballapur is on the border of Karnataka-Andhra. It's now a district by itself. Earlier, it was a part of the Kolar district.

I guess the butterfly's trying to find its way inside :)

Stumbled upon you from subtle_blues's journal.

Love the imagery in your writing. I have not read your earlier posts, so dunno if it's a regular feature, but for now, yay! :)

The first three pics are flutter-by's on the Indian Daisy. I remember vividly some rather shocking but educational bits of my childhood that involve this plant. Incredible healing powers! From deep gashes, to epidermal scratches.. Even near amputation.. These plants used to grow everywhere.. Now we only find them in small patches, skulking around drains and forgotten crannies.

It's numbing to see how we've changed our planet.

Hey, Thanks for your comment.

I don't know if it's numbing to see how we've changed the planet, but we've grown numb regarding the changes.
