Hangover. Of rains and the weather in Bangalore. The water tables are rising and maybe some good people and organizations are harvesting the rain water. To add to it, the fury of the Sun from this year’s summer is long gone. That washed look on the roads and the greenery all around makes my heart … More Gratitude List – July 2016
