After much delay, I finally scanned a lot of dad's old pictures. To set them out in a place deserving enough, I have started a new blog for it. I'm going to try to dig dad's brain for the stories behind the pictures.

As I passed through mhow recently, I saw a huge banyan tree cut down, but still blocking almost the whole road. It was night and I couldn't click any pictures, but I did wonder what the story behind it was.
Dev tells us the story.
"...I was in Malwa Market getting some pages xeroxed at Inder Photo Copy when the electricity failed. I felt very irritated. But when Lalit, who works there, told me that the banyan tree on Main Street had fallen I felt very sad. I took a visit there and I could see it leaning precariously. The local authorities had arrived and were busy ensuring that it did not crash to the ground and cause loss of life and property. The temple at the foot of the tree had developed cracks..."Read more at devkumarsblogs.blogspot...

Found this neat description of the Indian weightloss system.
"Dear sir,I am taking this opportunity to write and thank you for your recommendation of the Indian Weightloss System - Home Version (Australian Release).As suggested I successfully located and ingested the virus and within a couple of hours I was alternating between sitting and bending over the bowl every 20mins or so.This continued for a good six hours until i was passing and expelling what could only be described as good quality synthetic motor oil.I then went to the hospital as I believed the process may have been continuing incorrectly. They informed me that I also needed two units of Intravenous Drip (V2) for Indian Weightloss System to work correctly.Once these had been administered I ventured home and spent the next two days not eating and whilst the bending over had ceased (which I realised will affect the affectiveness of the system) the sitting down did not cease until last night.As a consequence I feel like a wine cask bag with a hole in it and quite tired from lack of sustainence, but believe I may have lost a few kilos.All in all a satisfactory outcome. Please advise me of any further products you have available.Many thanks,Eugene. "Read more at thorntree.lonelyplanet....
