good afternoon rmbhai,
ReplyDeleterain always reminds of me of childhood days...when we cant go outside for play..and have to be content with sitting inside looking outside.
also..how life changed after coming of cable tv...mom had to literally push us out to play...i being biggest lazy bones of them all...
ReplyDeleteJaggubhai:
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon! How is weather in your part of Karnataka?
Yeah! Rainy days were full of boredom in the childhood. The only good thing was the occasional school holiday due to rains but that was hardly once in the whole season in Dehradun - it used to rain so much here that only a cloudburst could get us a holiday!
good evening rmbhai,
ReplyDeletein mangalore,rain has stopped from 2 days..but before..it was raining..i thought finally my dream owning a yatch by homeside was coming true...lo behold...rain stopped suddenly...looks like operators at work again just like mkt..playing with jaggu :( :)
oops..i ate my words.. its .it was raining heavily cats and dogs running for cover..
ReplyDeletehere too we used to get holidays in school if there was heavy rains...funniest part was..we wud know it was holiday after reaching school...and kids will return to homes only in evening after rain had stopped...
Here also the same thing happened, rainy day was announced only when we reached the school but that added to the fun. Ours was a 3 km walk to the school and we had to cross a seasonal river (now it has become a dirty nallah.) Invariably when ever the schools declared holiday the river used to get swollen making it impossible to cross on feet on the way back home - more fun - we crossed the river on trucks loaded with stones (only heavily loaded trucks could cross the river)!
ReplyDeleteyes,tat y i like hill station(for weather) but always i get bored easily after while..so wat vast expanse of water i good for me atleast..hoping someday i get the message(stamped Visa) in a bottle from Arab/gulf country.
ReplyDeletei remember one gets...huge round beautiful stones near base of himalayas(which now people use it as therapeutic value)..we too bought huge amount of them in my childhood...now they are used paper weight and weights on top of utensils..HAA HAA...
since they have beautiful colors on them...i lost most of the stones...few of them are worth 15-20 years journey they survived till now.. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah! There are a lot of rounded stones lying around on the banks of most rivers here but we hardly notice that. Instead we gather sea shells when we go down south! I remember my folks buying all kind of things made from sea shells on their trip to Kanya Kumari and Rameshwaram. Since those shells were not properly cleaned they used to stink a lot in Dehradun's humid weather!
ReplyDeletegood mrng rmbhai,
ReplyDeleteyeah,u r right,
we too had huge collection of sea shells,those sea shells which we buy from roadside stink a lot...we threw most of them over time...since they get discolored becoz of temperature and other elements...
only few of them properly cleaned still remains proud in our showcase reminding us abt journeys to wonderful temple towns(madurai..here silk sarees as memento,rameswaram and kanyakumari)...LOL
rm!!! u maketh my day!!!
ReplyDeleteI've loved the extended rainy season in Pune...but the dam is still only 55% full.
ReplyDeleteThat is the advantage we have got in Dehradun. When it rains here the dams get filled and overflow in UP, Bihar and West Bengal!

ReplyDeleterm, the brahmakamals blossomed again, several of them. it was beautiful. what about yours?
ReplyDeleteHere they blossomed in august & early septemeber. We got two installments of more than half a dozen flowers!
ReplyDeletelovely! We had another burst to bloom just a few days ago
ReplyDeleteWow! They blossom for just one night but that night is just theirs. The fragrance is good enough to launch a perfume brand, shall we call it fbk (false brahm-kamal)?!
ReplyDeleteyep we can call it that! sorry for late reply rm.
ReplyDeleteDer aye - durast aye :)
ReplyDeleteHow are you? Dehradun kaisa hai aaj kal? I shifted to a new house, now have to depend on cybercafes as there is no reliable broadband service. but overall, enjoying the privacy. missed you.
ReplyDeleteHi Uma
ReplyDeleteI chatted on yahoo with Jaggubhai in January, missed your sharp comments!
Life is perfect here. The weather is just too good these days - warm in the day and nights are cool.
Naya ghar mubarak ho!
Please keep in touch.
I will! do write to me on gmail whenever u and genius have a moment
ReplyDeleteuma01666@gmail.com,
Oh sure Uma! I have got so many moments free that you may get a mail barrage!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is real and natural..... good ol' rains !! Cheers !!
ReplyDeleteThanks Navnit! Even undeserved praise is lapped with both hands here.
ReplyDelete:)
Send some rain here!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, late request, we had some last week. Next time, I'll make sure that some of the cloud are diverted to Pune. :)
ReplyDeleteif it is out of your window [the realone] it would be neighbours [our] envy owners pride ...
ReplyDeleteso green, so hazy, so cool looking, and the rain ...
good place,
:)
@mok
ReplyDeleteThat one was taken from the verandah of my BIL's govt. accomodation. Now he has built his own house which is even better though the greenery part is missing. But that is more than made up by the view of hills all around.
green are missing in doon, then its climate change for sure, pachuri or otherwise ...
ReplyDelete:)
lovely place, we the cityites can only see in tv or your blog
and, matching great blog too. now we got another platform set on natures showroom.
was going thro the earlier ones too, some very cultured goog blogparticipants here RM, nice place. Agree with your afternoon thoughts on the surprise, yes.
Have gained even more respect for the participants.
:)
weekend i am going to explore doon going thro your older posts.
ReplyDeleteArmchair travel? That is a wonderful habit, but you may go to better places here:
ReplyDeletehttp://almoraboy.blogspot.com/
Enjoy your trip to Himalayas!
RM, whats happening up above, !!!
ReplyDeleteThe greens are becoming brownie points ...
Sorry, I did'nt get the meaning of above remark?
ReplyDeleteI just saw some photos of Almora site, and was surprised to see less less green, and more brown patches,
ReplyDeletekind of shocking ...
That may be because of the season, the hills do turn brown during summers.
ReplyDeleteBut I have not seen the blog lately, Prashant may have added new pages.
so, our hills remain fresh as it used to be ....
ReplyDeletethen fine...
coz, one look it was a bit shocking.
we on the plains think up our northern hills like what we see europe landscape [weather and lushness], thats why.

hei, RM, think you have Unsubscribed to Comments here are something ...!
ReplyDelete:)
Hi mok
ReplyDeleteExcept for this last comment which came on a sunday, all the other comments i thought were from OJN! They appeared amidst a shower of messages from OJN. :)
I hope you had good sleep over the weekend. Have a great time.
ahh ,, good ..
ReplyDeletethought by mistake you unsubscribed
:)
Is it possible to get the background to comments changed from person to person - like set of people allotted a different bg color ?
howz the bg frame done ? [i dont know the procedure]
I learnt that from googling! And don't remember the procedure, just kept the page in front of me and carried out the modifications one by one!
ReplyDeleteNo you can't make the background in different color for everyone. You can pick different background only for the owner (i guess they call it author) and all other (commoner's) will have one. Feudalism at its best. :)
here is one link:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.best2know.info/2010/06/highlight-author-comment-in-blogspot.html
I suppose you were certified right, GoogleXpert :)
ReplyDeleteWe got many authors unlike other blogs ... so each may be eligible for their own background [as if they dont have any now, is another issue :)
You are right! We don't have any common man or woman. :)
ReplyDeleteso it may work,
ReplyDeleteto each in his own color
like rangoli :)
RM,
ReplyDeletei checked the box colors,
it will work only for that post's author.
meaning the no no to commoners.
so did not proceed on that.
@mok
ReplyDeleteBut that makes sense. Only an author is supposed to be able to explain his/her post to the commoners, so only the post's author's comments need to stand out in a multi-author blog.
truji, gruji,
ReplyDeletebut i thought though one cheeky one creates the comments post,
the rainbow authors can have rainbow bg i thought :)
@mok
ReplyDeleteThe idea was good, rainbow blogs in monsoon season!
Do you jump straight to PC from bed?
:))
huh,
ReplyDeletethat was a dive from PC to bed :)

Dear Mynac
ReplyDeleteThanks for your appreciative comments. Would reply in Hindi over the weekend at leisure. :)
Good morning RM!
ReplyDeleteWanted to be the first one today to wish!
Ab toh naya video post kardo...itna bhi aalas acha nahi
As we experiencing rains these day you can get hold of your camera again
:))
Good Morning Anuj!
ReplyDeleteSomebody did me a favor by stealing my digital camera! Now I have only the old manual FM10 which was used in the days when i was a bit less lazy. :)
But I'll find a solution, I'll steal a photograph from my nephew's collection and post. Where there is a will, there is a way!
goodmorning RM,
ReplyDeletedo whatever, we wont inform the nephew :) till you get good photos.
have a nice weekend!
@mok
ReplyDeleteYou are a good accomplice, will take you along on my next burglary mission.
:)
RM,
