The New Arrival..

Everyone packed their needy items like their towel, soap, shampoo. I was ready with a Meera cheeyakkai box (or Shikkai (Acacia Concinna).. a herbal powder for cleansing hair). Since it was a falls bath, I thought that it would be better if I do a good oil massage for my hair... After bath, it will be more shiny.. But all are ready with their package.

My hair is ready for the Erumai chavadi ...

It made me more curious to grow it with utmost care. And I didn't know that it spreads wider as growing. thought that it will bloom with the same size stem.. So when I saw it growing wider and blooming with multi colors, that bigger area of multi color tiny flowers made me so excited. And, yes.. of course, It's my very own plant and it gave me a feel like I made it to bloom so beautifully.. (All praise to God.. I was a little ignorant girl then.. ) The plants had now already grown with an area of 17 cm dia with more branches from 4 or 5 single stems of length 5 cm initially.. T...
