There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.

I must say sorry for not posting any photos for the past 10 days. The contributors were busy and we were unable to get any good pics. I surely hope we dont lay-off again. I have been thinking of some changes to the running of the cult and we will soon see them implemented. Till then, cya and happy clicking.....

And Kailesh is a new contributor, I will add him to the contributor's list as soon as possible.

The troubles of the young are soon over; they leave no external mark. If you wound the tree in its youth the bark will quickly cover the gash; but when the tree is very old, peeling the bark off, and looking carefully, you will see the scar there still. All that is buried is not dead.

An anthill increases by accumulation. Medicine is consumed by distribution. That which is feared lessens by association. This is the thing to understand.

This photo technically should not be here...but the photo looked too good not to share with all the visitors of the blog.

This photo was NOT modified or post processed by me...and I think it is a original . Thanks to Srinidhi who sent me this photo.
