A visit to my mini farm 🚜

A good harvest of mangoes 🥭 this summer. My gardener was very helpful in the harvest. 

Just a good harvest of drumsticks

A pretty cool 😎 dining 🍽 place

Visit to Angamaly

Attended a church festival in Angamaly.

Impressive decoration. 

Watching my car's innards

Lifted up the hood to have a peek at the engine and insides of my new AGS WagonR car 🚗.

Looks a little complicated compared to my earlier WagonR. 

Visit to Kalady: at a retreat center

Frequent aeroplanes ✈️ taking off nearby. The Kochi airport is close. Fun taking snaps of planes from close range. 

The periyar river. 

Pretty cosy place. ✨️ 

Greens and trees 🌳. Plenty of it.

Enjoyed. 

Visit to rural Kerala

🥸 A large ash gourd hanging from a tree, nutmeg fruits within reach, and plenty of papaya fruits. Folks here build large homes 🏡. 

Flowers 💐 rain lilies

Flowers 💐 in my garden

Flowers 💐 are perhaps the best evidence of a Creator. 😊

Times of India: Coronavirus: If your mask doesn't pass these three tests, it is not helping.

Lush green grass

Our children's park has a cool green carpet of grass. Wild beauty. 

A surprise visitor

This tortoise arrived at our house the other day. Sadly we had to chase it away. 

Greens in my garden

Sharpening knives the old way

This guy came carrying his tools past our home. For a small fee he gets down to work. 

My-garden

It's November 2019. And these are the sights and smells of flowers and vegetations here.

Balsam flowers a plenty. You plant one of those and within a month they are all over the place. 

Drumstick tree with flowers. Even the flowers and leaves are edible. 

Hibiscus adds to the fun. 

The next energy revolution has begun

The next energy revolution is new wave solar energy- cheaper and super efficient.

How to reset the Epson L110 printer after refilling ink

After I had filled or refilled my epson L110 printer it kept showing empty ink tanks with
the red light of low ink glowing despite all efforts.

Perhaps the best advise I received from a blog is as follows:
1. switch off the printer.
2. Load a paper into the paper tray.
3. Press the ON and PAPER FEED or LOW INK button (both are 2 halves of the same button) simultaneously for 15 seconds.
4. Now release the pressure from both buttons simultaneously.
5. The ON button should be the one to keep blinking whilst the red LOW INK buttons stops blinking or glowing.
6. Now press the PAPER FEED button to feed paper.
Test printing is done and problem is solved.

New age farmers in India

Interesting article in the New Indian Express. Gives an insight into a new movement taking place in India's cities and villages with city dwellers and well paid professionals migrating to farming with little knowledge but plenty of determination.

Personally I too have always wanted to dabble in growing essential vegetables and hence my special interest in this new phenomenon. After all, deep inside man is nothing but dust charged with energy from the sun and a soul to control this being.
