And in Banglore.. when I came..
It rained every night, every day of the year
And in the morning it was fresh!
In Dehradun, my uncle would bring us down the forest road by car and we would invariably see a leopard or tiger.
Chhaaya: Have you seen the neelikurunji.. It blooms once in twelve years?
K Rajput: Once in ten years, once in twelve years only.. the whole area turns violet!
Armyman: I remember the coffee blossoms.. But even in Assam, the bamboo blooms only once in twelve years
Neera: When I was a child I used to love reading Biggles!
