Any Singampallis straying into Bangalore henceforth will have an additional point to visit as part of the city tour. Last weekend, Poonam and I had participated in a tree planting drive organized by an Eco group. The spot where the trees were being planted was Lal Bagh, which I thought was a bit like giving money to a rich man.
We had gone prepared to bend our backs and plant a good number of saplings, but it turned out that there were more volunteers than saplings. Big-wigs like Kris (current CEO of Infosys) were there to be part of the event, so I got to say hello to the man who runs my company at Lal Bagh- which was funny given that both of us have frequented the same campus every day for the last 3 years and not met so far.
At the end of the session, we did plant one sapling and marked the spot. Hope to see it as a full blown tree in a few years...and all visitors can enjoy this excellent park while we show them the tree of our labours!

Hi Swathi, we are both well. We missed you when Lavi, Harika and Mrudula came over here...but next time you have a big holiday break, you must definitely come over to Bangalore with Amma and Naanna. We will show you a lot of things than just the tree...ask Lavanya :)
