The quotation that impressed me [displayed in my garden] "The best place to seek God is in a garden. You can dig for Him there." - Bernard Shaw. Click on India for basic information about our country. I invite you to know a bit about Mysore , the city where I have lived all along. I'M A MYSOREAN! In one of his articles in the local daily, STAR OF MYSORE Mr.T.S.Nagaraj, goes on to say a few things in such a way that I just loved - they are so very apt: "Don't ever underestimate the Mysorean, who generally appears contemplative and self-effacing. You will take some time to realize his wit and wisdom, which unfolds slowly and unobtrusively - majjigeyolagina benneyanthe - like butter emerges from buttermilk. There is an unintended artistic expression by the people even in seemingly ordinary matters. "To the Mysorean, coffee is booze. He is very particular about its quality. The test of good coffee is that the guest sitting in the hall should savour its elevating aroma from the kitchen, ahead of the housewife walking up to him with a cupful. Talking about cofee is also a convenient opening gambit for most casual chats, don't be amused if instead of saying 'good evening' to you when you meet an acquaintance on the road, he says "coffee aayithe?", meaning "have you had your coffee?". It does not matter even if you have just had your dinner!" VISIT MY GARDEN BLOG HERE Some pictures of Life in Mysore are here in my album. My motto: BE GOOD, DO GOOD, BE SIMPLE, BE HONEST, BE NATURAL AND JUST BE YOURSELF
