That is how it is with cats here. They just visit and rob food from the home cat and this goes on for a while and then one fine day they just disappear
I used to be bothered about this earlier but now I have accepted it and moved on.
Cats are whimsical but independent.
This is going on for months Nothing is going right specially in our garden. The trees are confused too They will flower at the wrong time, fruits just drop down. Seasonal flowers do not grow. Imagine thunder in March that has never appeared before
There is nothing we can do but just wait...
I am a chocolate foodie There is never a day that my fridge has no chocolates. Most who visit me will always get me a packet or two.

Preiti our pet dog lived for 12 years. She was a stray that walked in one fine day when she was little

It is a shallow and tapered tray where both the large and tiny birds can safely swim and have fun
I added a waterfall in the landscaped garden designed around Solitaire. This has a 2 HP motor and the water neatly gushes out making that soothing sound. We put on the motor once a week.
I was organizing a party for poor kids and I wanted to have something to create groups. I ordered for hats and decided to stick different kind of plastic flowers to create the groups. But I was not happy with the hats. Instead I cut them and created crowns.
It has been one of my interests to compose poems whenever my mind got ready for it. Here is one
Who can forget school times?

Destiny takes us we know not where

School times, classmates loads of fun

While at school I took part in many plays and always got the main role. Looking at those heroines acting in movies I wondered if I could be a success atleast in some side role but that opportunity never came by

Reaching out to the needy is something I like to do. I have a Trust and use it to render help to those in need. There is more joy in giving than receiving and that I get when I reach out to the needy?
Do you like to give or receive?
The youngsters around I notice put all their time into their jobs which kind of keeps them from the main stream of life. They will be glued to online activity, will not join the family at the dinner table, have no time for fun with the family. In other words they could I would say married to...
Planning for retirement starts years before one retiries It has mostly to do with finances and proper investment of funds that can guarantee a life long earnings.
There are many schemes and Insurance Companies in particular have schemes for such plans.
What are your retirement plans?
These days I sleep well almost 8 hours every day Probably it is due to some supplements I am taking and that could be a good side effect. That boiled egg must also be having the effect as the Net says eating a boiled egg in the evening helps induce sleep
I am happy. What about yo8u
Our trees are laden with jack fruits and I only hope we will get someone to harvest them so that they could be consumed and also sold. We have this problem of not finding anyone to harvest them

I was glued to the TV watching news on the spectacular return of the Astranauts - Sunita Williams in particular after a period of 9 months stuck in space. I saw her waving and giving a smile.
Before she gives a public appearance she will have to go through medical check ups and perhaps would...
A few years ago I kept myself busy and created several dry flower arrangements and had an exhibition of it. I was able to sell quite a few and a three star restaurant bought a few of them
A memory created.
I designed and executed the construction of Solitaire which I call my dream house We live there now which is located in a semi rural town - ideal for retirement The garden around is also designed by me that has a waterfall, a birdbath and plenty of greenery.
Not much ofa sports fan but I would like to cotribute and make my presence felt in areas where I can have a say. Life is short and my forte is meeting people off line and online and here I am sure I will meet many who will share my interests other than sports.
AI is someting that everyone talks about. It has made strides and now it has reached the layman. As for me I am not comfortable as I fee it will steal my brain and not let me think
What are your views on AI?
