Madness on wheels
Posted by: lilliandcosta on: March 30, 2009
In a hurry to get some place, who hasn’t stepped out looking to hail an auto rickshaw or an auto as it is more commonly called. These three wheel vehicles are characteristic of East and South East Asia. They are a vital means of inter city connectivity all over India and are a reliable source [...]

Mirror Mirror On The Wall,
Who Is The Best Among Us All

Lourdes Convent High School
She stood, solid, high and cold,
Yellow on brown,
The innumerable doors,
To the chapel and hall,
And the prim little parlour on the first floor corner.

Echo through the corridors.
Skittering past.
Smiles come to mind, Ms. Judith Pereira, Ms Epherem, Mrs Amita Salatry
The stern face of [...]

- Happy Women’s Day?.......... I beg your pardonIts 8th March, International Women’s DayBut she doesn’t know it.She wakes up at 6.00 a.m,like she has for the last 12 years,her mental clock and love for her family helps her up.she fills the rice into the cooker, chops up the vegetables in the yellow light of the bulb.The chickens in their coop stir, at the first break of light.the brass pot rolls down on t […]
