Mysore: Sunset

Paradise Not Lost: I live in paradise. My little town has four palaces, five beautiful lakes and no traffic jam! The only time you'll have to stop your car is to make way for the cattle crossing the road. There are no malls and multiplexes and life revolves generally around lots of cups of by-two coffee. It still smells of earth when it rains for the first time and winters are chilly. People are OK and we also have lots of foreigners wanting to learn yoga or do something else. People still gossip about who's having an affair with who else and wearing tight clothes is still scandalous. There are snake charmers on the road and the ones with home made coconut shell violins trying to sell them to you as if they are exotic. We do get many kinds of Biryanis and dabelis and vada-pavs. God bless my already blessed city.
