Greener Pastures

On the busiest part of 80 Feet Road, a commercial complex houses a college named Green Mountain. Heights of wishful thinking?

We are live!! It's been a flurry of activities for the last 48 hours and it feels odd that everything is finally over. The project has seen so many people come and go, we were like a huge family from Japan to Bangalore, it's been great teamwork and big learning for all of us. Such opportunities are rare to come by and I wish we could all meet together and celebrate. Not going to happen, though.

I fell in love with the old house of the Alvas when I attended the Kola. It seems nobody lives in that house on a regular basis. In fact, none of my present generation of Alvas lives in that place itself, the matriarchs who own the house have either passed away or are old and live with their children and somebody is appointed to keep the place in good shape for some ceremonies. Some parts of that house reminded me of my grandparents' place of old, which is razed down now. I'm grateful that the Alva house still stands majestically.
