Gandhi Ashram

In North Delhi there is a Gandhi Ashram near Dhakka Village near Kingsway Camp. It is nearly 2 Kms away from North Campus of Delhi University. This Ashram has been established by the India Government in the memory of Mahatama Gandhi- the father of Indian Nation.

I have gone into the campus of this Gandhi Ashram many times. Actually there is a medical dispensary inside this campus, and general public can go there to get treatment for common ailments. The patients are mostly given free medicines there. The doctor, who sits in this dispensary, is a general physician who gives very effective medicines. His medicines suits my wife very much. And she always get cured easily and quickly after taking medicines from here. So once or twice every six months, whenever my wife falls ill, we visit the Gandhi Ashram Campus.

The environment there is very peaceful.The entire campus is full of trees. There are some memorial pillars and a temple inside the campus too. So this time when I went into Gandhi Ashram I took some photographs from my Nokia 6233 camera phone.




Every year, around 2-october, exhibitions of Khadi Garments and Handicraft Goods are held inside this campus. Where Khadi manufacturers from all over India come to display and sell their products.

Yellow Flowers blooms all over Delhi

Recently I was driving my car towards Kamla Nagar in north Delhi. My wife was also with me. When we entered Banglow Road from Roop Nagar round-about, starting from near Aamitabh Banquet Hall we saw long rows of Amaltas trees on both sides of the road. They were all laden with beautiful yellow flowers. My wife likes the sight of the flowers laden Amaltas trees in their full bloom. The scene was so captivating and enchanting that I parked my car on the side of the road. I took this photograph from my cell-phone camera.

Our Labrador Dog Avis

Our Labrador Avis has now grown up to become an handsome dog. He is very naughty. He seeks our attention all the times. He loves to play chasing-game. When ever somebody in our family loves him or speaks to him, he takes this as that person's willingness to play chasing-game with him. Immediately he grabs whatever cloth is lying nearby in between his beautiful jaws and begins to run invitingly. The way he runs, taking the cloth between his jaws, is so enchanting that the person can't keep from getting seduced to play with him. Now Avis would run playfully from here to there with a loud expression of happiness in his body language and in his eyes, and the person has to run behind him pretending that he/she wants to pull out the cloth from Avis' jaws. Within a minute into this game and Avis gets so exited that he starts running very fast like a rocket from one end of the house to the other. My God! it is a sight to see the way he runs- from the sofa he runs towards the bed, and while he is still some distance away from the bed he dives in the air like a lion to land in the middle of the bed in one go, once on the bed he would make many interesting gestures to show that he is not going to let that person take the cloth from him, if the person tries to get "alarmingly" close to Avis then suddenly he hops in the air across a long distance to land on the floor some distance away from the bed, from here he excitedly runs like a cheetah toward the balcony, he reaches into the balcony in the blink of an eye, from here he takes a fast turn and almost flies toward the drawing room to again get on to the sofa... this wild running goes on for nearly 5 minutes. Then Mr Avis gets exhausted and abruptly sits on the floor somewhere. Now he would project his tongue out of his widely open mouth, and the sound of his heavy breathing signals that he now wants to relax. We immediately give him water to drink. He gulps a large amount of water and lies at a place of his choice stretching his body to the full. He goes into sleep in this posture very often to recharge his batteries to get up after around one hour to again seduce some one to play chase with him.
