Sun's just abt set on an exciting 'n immensely rejuvenating 7-day trip at my ancestral home in rural M'lore!...'twas eventful all right....saw nature at her very best (uh, am always saying that!), witnessed some amazing sunsets, captured the first few moments of some new lives unfolding - Sonu brought out Amba and the Russian Chinchilla quite unexpectedly popped out four brand new 'uns...'Course u don't know what am gibbering abt !!!!....well, the former refers to the revered ('n quintessential) house-cow which gave birth to a bewitchingly beautiful calf and the latter to a Rabbit breed which delivered a spanking new litter of l'il ones on the penultimate day of my stay there (talk abt good timing!)
Still sorting out all the pics...for the time-being, chk out the good 'ol sun-set from the top of the solitary light-house tower at Kaup Beach,M'lore (er...with my silhouette thrown in for good measure ;-))

M'lored !!!!

Yup, me off to Mangalore(my 'native place' or namma ooru,as we say in my lingo!)....the land of coconuts,neer dosas and.....hang on, the rest can wait until am back next week!
WATCH this space !!!

Dark Clouds cover the canvas, blocking out the last vestiges of a glorious sunset & wipe the slate clean..........Even This Shall Pass Away!

Even the pallid Mithi river(yup! the same waste water body that engulfed suburban bombay last year) glows a serene golden, basking in the sunset!

hmm...how many shades here ? see if u can find that 'merawala
pink/purple'

Thot i'll start off with a post-sunset view of the passionate Mumbai skyline!........its fascinating to watch the play of Clouds and their myriad colours (none of 'em their own!)...Clouds just reflect wotever's happening around 'em(now am not getting philosophical here, but isn't this terrific- to be in equilibrium at all times, just 'reflect' wotever comes at u, whoever throws it at u!) ...in this case, the dark orange glow of the dipping Sun!
