Yesterday, we began our little garden ( note the adjective) Anush volunteered to pour water and promptly went up to the kitchen and fetched mineral water in her little glass saying "water for plants to drink, amma"
I explained that they did not need mineral water just normal tap water would do ! ( in India tap water is not always potable) Then she used the mug and very " gently" watered the plants.
Ode gallery was the discovery of this weekend- tucked inside Neelankarai off ECR ( behind Mars software I think) rather expensive and VERY poor on service in the food section, especially with a hungry hubby and impatient kiddo in tow. It is lovely in terms of the collection of paintings, curios, home decor etc from South India, Indonesia and maybe Sri Lanka. A must visit if you wish to splurge on your home. I picked up a buddha face and Salem/ Thanjavur stretched leather picture frames. If interested, pics later in corners of my home.

Watering in my home means splashing water and trying skating. BTW, have you been to Ahana - he book store near Ashram school ? They have a glass covered stream running through the shop with lil fish in it !!!! And the shop has so many river references and themes to it ! nice

we have also just started a very little garden (note the adjectives).
thanks all and it has been raining each evening since we got the plants so not much need for watering yet!!
