Srivalli of Cooking 4 All Seasons has organised a fundraiser to help and get some urgent medical help for Lakshmi, a 28-year old mother of two in Chennai, India. Details about the fundraiser can be found HERE. Lakshmi has coronary heart disease and needs an operation immediately. Right now after Valli has organised this fundraiser, she has been hospitalised and I cannot imagine the plight of her and her family. My heart goes out for her.

August has been quite a month, I was off from work for couple of weeks followed each and every olympic medal event. Its been a relaxing time off even when the weather tried to dampen our spirits.

As its Noel’s summer holidays, his friends came for a sleepover, partying in between as I quietly celebrated my –th Birthday and ssshhh… I know what you all are wondering but I am not going to say ok!!! Now before you all draw your own conclusions let me take your thoughts n eyes to my clicks for Jai n Bee.

I bought these organic grapefruits the other week for Click Event and selected these 3 pictures. I had fun clicking and can’t wait for next month’s event.

I am sending the first picture over to the event. I liked the lovely colors enhancing the red grapefruit in the foreground.
