A new Date with the Season
Confused with my title. Not to worry. I am just giving you a hint on how the nature alert you about the change of season. It is cool climate now with a bit of rain here and there. But, look closely at the surroundings. Go for a walk and look at the date palm trees. You will see that they have started flowering.
It announces the arrival of a news season. Soon, you will get to see the climate changing with the arrival of hot wind and sand storm and then straight to summer.
I always propagate a lot about this so far untapped natural resource of the UAE.
The UAE is one of the top 10 date palm cultivators in the world, with dates grown in royal palaces, private residences, public gardens and streets as well as commercial farms.
Date palms are an intrinsic part of Arab life and heritage. For thousands of years, they have provided shelter, food and other necessities, as Arab Bedouins have settled in palm oases, and made use of all parts of the tree and its fruit. Palm wood and leaves were used to build houses, fences, beams, baskets, ropes and many other useful items, while the fruit itself has been a basic staple of the Arab diet, and a main source of nutrition and energy.
Talented singer at Kagalahalli
On Shivarathri day, a special upload to promoted a talented singer I met in front of the Kagalahalli Shaneeswara temple, Bangalore.
If you happen to visit this temple, I will say, you should visit at least once, you will be able to meet him. One of his leg isprosthetic. Details about the temple and its specialities will be shared through a different post.
Lyrics of the song:
Namo bhootha Natha, namo deva deva
Namo bhaktha pala, namo divya teja (namo….)
Bhavabadrakara sada nirvikara
Namo loka pala namo naga lola
Namo parvathi vallabha neelakanta (namo…)
Sada suprakasha maha papa nasha
Kashi viswanatha daya sindhu jata
Namo parvathi vallabha neelakanta (namo…)

Day3: Nature at its best – #WorkingTogetherWorks
This is a photo from my visit to Venice when I participated in the Biennale 2014. Those who have been there will know the importance of the canal network and water transport system used for moving around. Imagine yourself rushing with all your luggage and camera equipment from your hotel to the boat station and being alerted that the canal will be closed in few minutes for the next 4 hours for a boat race. Thank god and I made it somehow and reached the other side till the railway station for my train to Milan to get the flight. Etihad had no direct flight to Venice those days.
