Care to donate any story books?

A school for the underprivileged in Bangalore would welcome your story book contribution. Their wish list on Amazon is here. A story book collection drive launched in 2009 was successful, but I wish to continue the effort.

A green carpet


My tired urban eyes loved the spread of the lush green moss all around in Ooty. There were waterfalls everywhere (perhaps it had rained recently, it does rain in Nov-Dec in these parts) and the moss was soft and thick.

"S" took several pictures --- I had not taken my camera, as we would be using hers and I love this macro shot. Why, the serenity of it all, even prompted me to pen a few lines.

Softly caressing jagged rocks
The harsh edges it smoothens out;
A spread of soft green, is on view
For the tired soul to construe;
A feeling of peace
Of being at ease;
Ah, the softness of the moss....
