Good Bye Girl Puthari


Puthari [2002 - 2009]

Goodbye, Pulti , my fav girl
You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
And every time that I was down
you would always come around
and get my feet back on the ground.

Goodbye, Pulti, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
With the flowers ev'rywhere.
I wish that we could both be there.

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the stars we could reach
were just starfishs on the beach.
Seasons in the sun - TerryJacks.

Cycle Dance

Here is the New Cycle. It takes 45 minutes to get to the park. While we sing 'I like to Move it Move it' from Madagascar , I have to be 'Physically fit Physically, Physically fit' to ensure that my back lasts the 45 min journey to the park.


We are learning the new moves and want to show case it on the Aug 15th Independence Day. Let us know if you folks want to join in. The Hoedown and Throwdown is available at laughingwaters.pbworks.com/hoedown

Ctrl Esc Weekend!



Mitra ensured a topsy turvey Weekend to the G Parents with a non stop , round the clock tensiontainment at Mysore. Everything went haywire- the breakfast, TV watching, Sleep , the Walk in the morning and the garden shower. The outdoor shower ended up with Mitra angry with G' Pa and refusing to talk to him. It took D'omma and few toys to get both of them across the table . Our Man is back happy muttering 'guuddi' Guuddi'

26.01.1976 - Permanent Change






I got to know of Thaatha being in Mysore - but without Basket full of Guavas', there wasn’t any Banana load or oranges. I was 4 when Jaaja left all of us. I could not understand then - but over time I realized that he would not be present to greet me at the road, no more outings in the fields, no more fetching dropped mangoes, no more checking the Hen hut when we heard the Fox cry, I can go on . My first exposure to Permanent Change.



My Mom's biggest strength had left her. A man who emphasized education to his half a dozen girl children was no more.
