Pularkala sundara swapnam

The Easter Mass got over at 5:30 am. The dawn was already breaking when we were returned home. The kitchen got busy with the Lent-breaker beef stew and palappam. I happened to find the camera which had a blow by blow report of how our Easter chicken got to the table. Appalled at the unethical "lensmanship", I stepped out into the cool morning air to capture the beautiful day of Resurrection and new hope. It had rained on Good Saturday, quenching the summer heat and washing off the dust from the foliage.



The jasmines before ammachi claimed them to decorate the crucifix, and the pictures of Our Lady and Alphonsamma in the prayer room.



The bounty of jaathikkas (nutmegs) that burgeon in appachan and ammachi’s dreams.




Seasons come, seasons go…. serenely flows the canal.




Guess this is how people having more than one social network account would look like :P…




A moldy old electric post that stands in the farm.


“Calvin”…”Hobbes” has the camera..:P


In hope of more April showers.
