A school time song suddenly remembered

Janmabhoomi janani prithvi ka mor mukut chandan santarani (2)

(A para that cannot be remembered)

Dhig dhig mein indra jal
Navras mein aatma bal
Pushpit aanchal rasaal
Nandan ki sarani
Sarani (3)
Sarani (3)

Book: My heart is an idiot

I was not sure if I would like this book. Surprisingly, started liking it - finished half of it.

Book: Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda

I read this book a long time back. But it stays fresh in my mind. I love the story and most important of it, the author stayed true to the story and has not shown India as other authors with Indian lineage usually do.

I keep checking online book stores to check if any other book of hers is released. Just now checked Flipkart, nothing except 'Secret Daughter'.

Sweet potato plant

One of the sweet potatoes started to grow into a plant with two very tiny leaves. Wanted to give it support in its growth. So asked my kind friend if she could share her small garden area for this tiny plant. She was more than happy to do that. In a week's time, the plant grew quick amazingly ( check the picture ) . Guess it was the love. :-) we are very thrilled.
