EXPERIMENTERÉ

Buddha poornima and Buddha's teaching has touched us, at some point in life.

Surviving, guess its helping us to understand how to survive this scare.   The land has been pumping heat and a lot happened in the last few months. I have been crisscrossing, states, cities, countries and nations. Suva, Nadi, Delhi, Kolkata, and then Dum Dum Cantonment to Hazra to Jodhpur Park, and now to Kalyani Ghoshpara (60 Kilometres from my house).
