Dehradun hills seem to be made of very porous material. Whenever we have plenty of rains, the hills begin handing it out in the form of little streams springing up everywhere. This one is called 'Nalapani' and is a source of fresh water throughout the year, unfortunately the stream is captured at the source and confined to a water tank except for monsoons when no one can keep it imprisoned.
Here it is enjoying its new found freedom and eager to meet the mighty Ganges, where all streams and rivulets draining the east side of Dehradun end up.
goodmrng rakeshbhai,
ReplyDeletecorrect said,in monsoon nobody needs precious commodity called water...
everybody wants when there is scarcity not when there is excess supply...
wat a irony of life :(
@Jaggubhai
ReplyDeleteGood Morning!
Yeah!
It rains so much here that I have to miss the morning walks at least twice a week. But I like rains.
I guess you get twice our quota in Mangalore!
yes,rakeshbhai,good to hear that u miss mrng walks becoz of rains..if no rains then all vegetables cost us a bomb...LOL..tats y i pray for more rains..so that i can eat more veggies than fish..

ha ha rakeshbhai,,, mmm this sounds different :D
ReplyDeletenicephotograph. nice location. nice rain. nice stream.
one would be jealous of you,that you step out to this kind of scenerio ...
Hi mok!
ReplyDeleteThat standard terminology of addressing each other is borrowed from vfmdirect (it sure makes us all sound like mumbai's dons.) :)
Rains have stopped now and the weather has turned out to be even better. Bright sunshine and cold mornings - one has to wear a windcheater on the bike. This rivulet has very little water left now, would be dry by the end of this month.
The surroundings are real good here, they make up for the lack of opportunities in a small city (small by Indian standards, many countries participating in CWG are one tenth of the size of Dehradun by population!)
wow, such a lovely shot. Pity I've been writing my idiotic novels instead of taking a vacation to Dehradun! One of you guys will have to come to Pune! My lease runs out in Nov hope the stupid landlord extends it. I have a guest room here and can show you the city!
ReplyDeleteWhy, what happened to your plans of building a house at no. 666?
ReplyDeleteI would come running to Pune (Nobody invites an unemployed guy these days!), only problem is that you may get saddled with a guest worst than the landlord. :))
uma,
ReplyDeletepls leave your address here or by mail,u will have queue of visitors to your house.(jaggu being the first!!)
rakeshbhai,
ReplyDeleteu r right abt "Nobody invites an unemployed guy these days"...from my experience ... LOLOLOLLLLL

ReplyDeleteHi mokbhai (welcome to the don brotherhood!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your shipload of greetings! The one about bank a/c statement is very alluring.
Wishing you a Joyous Diwali and a new year crackling with crisp bank notes (1000 and above!).
:)

Hi Rakeshbhai ...
ReplyDeleteWish You and Family a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Dear r m,
ReplyDeleteWish You & Your Family a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year ...2011 ...
Thanks mokbhai(!!!) and mynac. Wishing you a Very Happy, Prosperous (stinking rich!) new year!
ReplyDeleteHope you guys will invite me on your next holidays in Hawaii (remember I have a principle of not accepting any invitation unless accompanied by a return business class air-ticket - I have never heard of the maxim "beggars are not choosers"!)
:))
Dear r m,
ReplyDeleteWe are deciding our first get together in this year for planning for the same.Just got your "return business class air-ticket"wish cum request cum demand cum order :)),so I will strongly put it on table.Last time also the "business class air-ticket" was the hot topic(& not the destination) & became a moot point later & so only the entire trip was postponed but this time as you are with me I am going to put it on strongly.:))
Have a joyful,laughing year along with prosperity.
with regards.
Dear mynac
ReplyDeleteJourney is always more important than the destination, that is why life is so much more interesting than death (which is merely the expiry of a contract!)
:))
Warm regards.
wow, what a lucky man, remaining frozen in time ...
ReplyDelete:D
Hi mo h
ReplyDeleteI am like Kumbhkaran who blogged once in six months! But you are doing even better by ignoring my last post and going to the earlier one. :)
