Dear Manoshi

At the outset please excuse me for not addressing you as Dr.Manoshi since in my opinion it sounds like a professional address where as this mail of mine is on/from the level of an un-initiated and ignorant mesomasai of yours who is more adapt in tightening nuts and bolts and the like. But remember-every person has a creative and poetic corner in his heart and brain----for some who are gifted- they are large and for others they are small and tiny.
Talking about ANDHI-it revived some memories when we were in a Govt. Flat in R K Puram-and as and when an Andhi comes it was asight to behold--how much of dust and sand it blew in and we will say that the whole of Rajasthan Desert is getting depleted of sand. Then came buildings and buildings all around and this andhi phenomena is gone. Like that this dry heart used to wake up once or twice.

Being professionally a Doctor going around with a hanging stethoscope and the like-when did you carve out time to observe these beauties of nature!

I have walked across these silver oaks for about 7 or 8 x 365 days by now-but have failed to observe such finer things nor have I been able to listen to their whispers of the leaves of these trees as you have and thus mentioned in your article.
AS I was typing this mail-the electricity failed as always. But I did not want my chain of thoughts to be disturbed. Antony(our servant boy)helped me to get the mini-computer to the study room and I got it working by plugging into the INVERTER OUTPUT SOCKET.
Do send me such nice little stories of yours as and when possible. I do not know all these BLOGOSPHERE-ATMOSPHERE AND THE .LIKE---- Send me via E-Mail if possible. Blessings-Mohanty Uncle
