Goodbye to gossiping with mom on gtalk.

We are but a collection of the experiences we have…the memories we build and the beauty we bring along!

The dried old tree

I am writing about a tree in our campus…our office is surrounded by beautiful trees,shrubs..and flowering plants on all sides.When all of them flower together…they can put a rainbow to shame!lush green lawns beckon…to walk barefoot…and sometimes the water droplets from ..the sprinkler..glisten like diamonds…demanding you to look at the beauty..so inherent in [...]
