Hi Velu. Even though we have factored the net as part of our lives, blog entries like yours do take one's breath away. You passed Main Street Mhow at night. You saw the fallen tree and you wondered about it. Did a google search take you to my blog entry. Whatever I am enjoying this awesome experience, and I must say that it is nice discovering your blog.
Regards
Dev
