Mommy and baby, in front of our apartment (the 4 storey building at the back), Daund
Our neighbourhood church, just a minute’s walk from our apartment, on Easter Day 2012 – songs and the sermon are completely in Marathi, ...so we just hum to the tune...
Back from a short trip to Assam, and have been on overdrive ever since. That explains the break in blogging.
Ya, it’s already two years in this friggin place. Bored stiff now of sugarcane, and ...of sugarcane, what else is there in this place?? Dull life, if not for the hectic working schedule and the incessant disturbances from the ever-hungry ‘vultures’ always eyeing for a share of the pie.
Just waiting for when we can get out of this place and see something new. For the time being, here’re some pictures of our lovely life in Daund...
More pyramids of gold, actually sugarcane waste (bagasse) for fuel and making paper. Do check my post a year ago on the SAME topic - ‘
One Year of Daund’
Bullock carts, for transporting sugarcane, a nuisance to other road users, but what can we do, this is the main source of income for the area
The gaudy temple of our neighbouring village, Gopalwadi
The Siddhivinayak Temple in Siddhtek, one of the 8 Ashtavinayak Temples around Pune. Ashtavinayak means Eight Ganesh (Elephant God). There are talks that if one can visit all eight Ashtavinayak Temples within a day (and mind you they’re not near to one another), all your wishes will come true, that is if you don’t get yourself killed first trying to drive at 150kph in the treacherous country roads and tiny village roads trying to achieve that
The Bhima River beside Siddhtek, about 20km from Daund
Amrita and Karishma at the local swimming pool, Daund
Independence Day (15th August) outing at the local swimming pool, 2011
Justin and his didi (sister), on a quiet country road, Ravangaon
Anu and Karishma with the shepherds and their herds, Ravangaon
In a millet field nearby
Dressing up for the goats... what else is there to do here??
