Stranded in the Amazons!

Shifted to a new place few months back...
& this place is no less than a tropical Amazon forest.. :(

I love to be in green surroundings, in fact, my previous home had a beautiful well maintained garden...
but this place is such a mess...

wildly grown...
creepers covering the edges of the house...:(
weeds eating away the soil's nutrition...



no flowers...no colour... only green...

God only knows, when the trees were given a decent trimming, when was insecticide sprayed on them, when were they given manure & when was the soil unweeded...

No... I think even God doesnt remember! ;)

Summers are ok... but rainy seasons are... :(
feels so inhospitable to even walk in the garden.

I die for some sunlight to come inside the house..
But alas!

So I prefer calling my house as a TrEE-House!


the view outside my window!


There was a time when these worms had plagued my house... they were huge, hairy(!) & scary...
I dont even know what species they are...
I asked my grandmother about them. She told me that they are generally found on creepers & wildly grown plants (Lo & Behold...as expected!) & these worms secrete a liquid, which can cause allergy to skin...
Felt so scared for my pet, Neville... :(
But now, these worms are not there anymore (phew!)...
I & Mom removed them using magazines & broom!

Yeah,I am so brave... :)

Have you seen that advertisement of HSBC bank ? a mother peeling peas and suddenly a worm from it pops out and her son takes it to a bottle | woh wala ad.
Mujhe aisa hi laga tumhara ye post padh kar, i will die to live in such a lush green place. Sabki apni pasand apni jarurat hoti hai. But nice postings and pics too. Keep posting.
