On a stroll around Ann Arbor downtown, you might meet the Michael Jackson guy in the 'graffitti alley' next to Michigan theater. He does some really cool dance moves! Here, he is seen adjusting his boom box and selecting the next MJ song to dance to.

Mystery of mysteries, water and air are right there before us in the sea. Every time I view the sea, I feel a calming sense of security, as if visiting my ancestral home; I embark on a voyage of seeing.

Drying

2009-03-28T20:59:00.001-04:00

Amma does not dry her sarees under the sun. The colors might fade too fast. So, they are wrung and hung out in the shade. If it rains very hard, then it is our study room. I find it bizarre that drying your washed clothes out in the sun is frowned upon in some parts of the USA (including where I live).
