My dear social friends, brothers and sisters ...  Vanakkam, Namaste. Good day!. I trust everyone is doing well..  Life in USA is getting busier and busier, which is good. Recently I had an opportunity to visit Mexico. This was my first visit to Mexico. In this blog, I am going to share my experience as a fist time visitor to this country. First of all, special THANKS to my colleagues who took care of our team really well.  Kudos to them, and thankful for ever. Starting from immigration:   The queue was quite high, and it took more than 2+ hours for me to clear immigration. I was not surprised, since it takes similar time for us these days in US as well.    OK – all clear from immigration. Got into taxi, and heading towards the hotel…   I started observing Mexico City, commute behaviors and traffic pattern.   After few minutes, yes, it is very clear pattern. I could say, it is very similar to India. Not surprised too. :)...

My dear social friends, brothers and sisters ...  Vanakkam, Namaste. I trust everyone is doing well.. This blog is about latest updates on Drumstick season from my farm. I am continuing from my previous blog update about "drumstick vegetable". This month, I visited my farm and spent sometime there.     I do have around 500 trees and still trying to make it to 1000 in couple years. :) Usually we get good yielding around summer time around Southern India.  In July, August and September the temperature is consistently around 90+. You could see from below picture the number of drumstick vegetables from one tree. You could see from below picture the number of flowers, white in color, from one tree. Our soil is RED soil and you could see the plantation from below pictures. We give enough spaces between trees so that it could grow. Trees are watered through drip irrigation ways these days.  These trees take little water only.  They survived last year drought in...

Library & Library Love: A feast for brain and a place of peace for mind…

Image
My dear social friends, brothers and sisters ...  Vanakkam, Namaste. I trust everyone is doing well.. This blog is about libraries, and my personal experience in USA public libraries.   First few months in USA, many people told me about various good things about the libraries in USA. I never took that seriously, and never paid too much attention to that. Since I have seen various libraries in hometown and had a preset mind . However, one day we had to go there due to my kid’s school assignment activity. The assignment topic was library. I decided to take them to nearby “Fremont Public Library”, so that they feel about library and experience the same .   Yes, it was a stunning and amazing experience.   Ahh, no, we wasted few months already in USA. It is a public library and totally shocked by the ambience.   My kids got free membership with their school ID cards. After that, we started going regularly during every weekend.   My memory started jogging a...
