We went to a mango farm at Chintamani, Kolar.
What did we see but lovely large green and sour raw mangoes, that we ate all day long indeed.... as the house favourite when it comes to rhymes- Karadi rhyme goes
Oh what fun we had.
Anush's first hand touch of a beetle or whatever this beautiful crawly thing is-
Anush's first hand touch of a beetle or whatever this beautiful crawly thing is-
Aditi's first at an orchard-
Also saw cashewnut tree, the hard outer fruit that we place at Ganesh Chaturti, jack fruit trees, broom stick plants and even a lovely dry basket like flower.
BTW on our way back, we noticed that the Parabhat circus has left town.

And the Mangalore Mishap is just so sad. I was in that very airport a couple of weeks ago and had commented to my colleague on the hill like airport which makes you feel a rush, since you can see the valley and the drop, if the craft misses.....

Oooh those red bugs are called velvet poochies ( what , you were expecting the scientific name ?) . I remember we used to collect them in Hyderabad by the dozens and "grow" them in glass jars with mud in it .
- the red bug is scary....looks so artificially red!!!
Anush is quite brave - she let the beetle stay on her hand for he snap!
minka
haha
gayatri
no it really did not seem scary
uma
she held it much longer- wanted to bring it home as a pet as well!!
navy and I r hardly cool folks that way-
anush picked it up due to Navy's friend who coaxed her to- he happens to own the orchard as well....
The pic of Aditi is so yummy!!! She's a doll!
You have made my mouth water! Will be going to Russel market next week for raw mangoes to make pickle.
