I challenged myself to take pictures of a sunrise in the middle of the road.. while I didn’t technically take these pictures from the middle of the road :) .. I did take them from the roadside.

Sri stopped by to check on Virat yesterday along with his family and I thought I should try out this tip. The effect was amazing.

Ugadhi is the an important festival in South India and is essentially the celebration of the begenning of a new year (yep.. new year in April :) ). One of the specialities of Ugadhi in Andhra Pradesh is something called “Ugadhi Pachadi”. It is a mixture of 6 ingredients (Neem Flower, Jaggery, Red Pepper, Green Mango, Salt and Tamarind) which designate the different “tastes” of life (bitter, sweet, hot, salty, tangy etc).

I haven’t been able to celebrate Ugadhi with my family for more than 10 years. So it was a special occasion. And mom went all the way to make it even more memorable. Here are some pictures.

I woke up early and took some pictures. Here is one showing my car (nearly drowned in snow :) ) with snow around it for some prospective

Here’s another showing how much snow we had to dig through on the footpaths to walk around
