One of the few things that managed to scare my otherwise very adventurous son!

Plans washed out

Our plans to visit this exhibition were washed out by the showers - which were otherwise most welcome as they cooled up the city so beautifully!

Fryday

While visiting the neighbourhood mall to meet my school friend, I found this new food stall called 'Fryday'. While the name is creative, my only reaction was 'As if we need one more of this!!'

Landmark

One of the best places to shop for books, music, movie, gifts, toys, stationary and yes, they even have a lot of kitchen stuff and gadgets!
Only that my kid gets all hyper looking at the colours and stuff around, wanting to jump off from my arms and do his 'demolition man' act - so unless I come here by myself, it's a 'get in-pick up what i want - get out' thing!
Hoping to do one long browsing session across the three floors soon.

Weekend outing

Sunset behind the Buddha statue in the middle of the Hussain Sagar Lake
Lumbini Park, Hyderabad
Boat takes you to the statue area where you are allowed ten minutes to go around and it takes you back to the park
Had a fun evening out
One of the kid-friendly outings in the city

An unusual vase

Flower shower

A most amazing sight lay in wait for us at the park this evening...gentle breeze bringing down showers of these light pink flowers that nearly covered the grass all over...as usual I had my toddler in my arms, so couldn't take a picture of the flower showers, but managed this shot as a remembrance of the pleasant evening we had. Another pic of the fallen flowers on the walk-way - any idea what tree this could be? Is this by any chance the Tabebuia impetiginosa?

Enlightened from my visit to Bangalore, this tree is Tabebuia rosea / basant rani / pink trumpet tree

Heya!

 

Finally, a movie in the movie hall - after 16 months

After singing along, dancing along to the fabulous music of Karthik Calling Karthik, I finally got to see the movie - breaking my movie hall exile!

Am so excited that I had to share this right away...

Rediscovering the simple pleasures of life sure feels good

Farhan Akhtar - I'm sure you know it, but you are superb!
