Flora virus against Coronavirus in my garden
The last winter (2019-20) was so mild that all my geraniums outside survived beautifully and were in full blossom much earlier than usual. The entire lot of panicky human beings is scared of climate warming but not all other living beings. Others adjust themselves to vagaries of nature while humans fight it. The tulip bulbs…

Buddha’s Rock in Kenya
Buddha’s Rock in Kenya (Posted on 20 August 2017) In March 2015 I first set my eyes on the world renowned stunningly shining Golden Rock in Myanmar (Burma).

They survived because they matched their requirements with the conditions around them. Those who transgressed what Nature provided had to look for another environment or they…
