The joy of sharing.....

I am not sure whether everybody believes in the "joy of sharing"...but these girls from Pune, whom I happened to meet during a conference in Chennai, certainly do...
I had reached there after a 48-h train journey and was famished...
And the savories they produced! Leave the foods, the gesture was enough to quench my hunger...

Trip to Sambalpur, Odisha...

Sambalpur University , Odisha is one of my many Alma mater...
Almost a decade ago, I pursued here my Masters studies.
Few years back, I needed to be there and during the stint, took these pictures....

The statue of poet Gangadhar Meher, after whose name is the University was christened...


Life Science Department.....for two years, it was my temple..

Holarrhena antidysnterica, a medicinal plant that grows luxuriantly in the semi-arid climate of that region...the clusters of flowers create a pretty sight in rainy season..

Butea monosperma (palash), another versatile plant in that region...it looks really stunning in spring when intense orange-colored flowers bloom...

A cheap yet delicious street-food..

My mother is buying mangoes from a vendor...
