Hi
how are u all doing,i am reading many books these days , as i get lot of time to pamper myself on such extravaganzes ------- oh i have used this word only to emphasize our life styles--- women have all the responsibilites ------ looking after kids ,cooking exotic dishes for the family,maintaining households,shopping,looking after themselves !!!! (hey is'nt it funny ?), watching soap-opras on TV,doing jobs,maintaining social relationships,and so on and so forth.And reading books is a real luxury so i am indulging in this, these days.I usually like to read biography.We learn from experiences of others ,there is a popular saying ---- "wise learn from the experience of others and fools learn from their own experience".I am not trying to say that i am wise but i enjoy learning from other's lives.One learns about a very interesting trait of our personality i.e --------- HUMAN RELATIONSHIP----.
Talking about human relationships, it is a very interesting and thought provoking topic .We all have families ,let me show you photo of my immidiate family:-
so you have to guess as to who am i. There are 2 photos .But now i have to go, so write later.

"The Fall" "Flower Clock"
hi folks
Today i am in a mood to share my thoughts with you all,........... what i have observed during my stay in USA can be summarised in one word ------" nature is just beautiful"-------- God has given us every thing in plenty but we humanbeings keep on abusing the "nature".It is more so in urban areas.When we move to natural surrondings we encounter ,beautiful forests--------- trees laden with colorful leaves------- oh let me tell you I am talking about ------ " Fall "------ of east coast right now i am at NJ .When i go for my morning walks I feel that a sheet of all colors has been spread in the parks , rite under the mighty trees.we cannot see even an inch of earth,it is so full of multy-colored spread of leaves.I had heard of "Fall -colors" but never observed these.
This photo is of Niagra fall ,so is'nt it just beautiful -------- clock of flowers---------- i will add more photoes some other time.
so let's me say good bye
