Thought: The world needs enlightened youth...

Its a chaotic world......getting even more tumultous with passing day...
The attention-seeking, no-brainers get million followers, and become household names.........but trailblazers like Malala fails to inspire.....
A bunch of radicalized demons hack authors, Professors and activists in South Asian countries...
Even the Western countries are stunned by violence now.........Paris, Brussels, Orlando, San Bernardino, Nice.........all of them are scarred by blood of innocent, unsuspecting folks...
So many human resource, so many dreams are lost........We knew  'life isn't fair'........but its outright unthinkable to be snatched away by savage acts of brutes...

We were watching a wildlife documentary recently......a lioness gets hold of a wildbeest calf as the scared mother runs away........the calf too young to know the lioness is its enemy, seeks comfort under the latter's fur...the lioness acknowledges and leaves, even though her den might have hungry cubs....the calf's mother comes and collects the baby.......
If a fierce predator has conscience....and human don't have....it shows a muddled brain...
Drugs, which are nothing but neural manipulators are taking control over the human compassion.....and they are spreading pandemonium...

Few drug-addicted battalions of extremists call them protectors of Islam and taint its name...
Its utterly deplorable the way youth is getting swayed and radicalized.......

Mother Earth...the revered Gaia, who sustains us in her bosom ...is and ought to be the Supreme God...if a God has to be there....not some imaginary rock/wood idols or mythological members...existence of which we are not even sure of...
In 2015, in my home country India...there was this big debate of rising 'intolerance among people'...
Why on that country only, its rising, across the globe..........
When population exceeds the carrying capacity of the world...resources deplete
Also, current corporate, business trend is fueling consumerism...
In such scenario......stress, hatred, all negative human traits  are bound to manifest....

I urge the youth to  follow humanity...........the biggest, and noblest of all religion....If practiced passionately, we don't need other religions........

Passion: My gardenscape in September..........

September...the month of transition from summer to autumn...
How does my garden react to it? Have a look...
Cucumber vines have developed tiny fruits...

My cardinal climber vine started blooming...

Also, a wild flower (coreopsis) seedling bloomed...

Kumquat fruits are conspicuously-big now...

I got some new plants for the garden............
Mandevilla 'summer romance'...also called Allamanda...

The turmeric-yellow blooms are gracing the patio...

Two succulents.......they were costly at $3 each for tiny pots...but, it is good that you can propagate them..


Begonia...


Red sage (Salvia sp.).....


I also got a root hormone (indole-3-acetic acid) ....I intend to propagate random cuttings...

Tried with some geranium, rose (3 variety) and rosemary...also, fragmented the new begonia and dipped in it...



Current state of the garden.........

I am sure in coming days, it will look nicer..now that the scorching South California sun is mellowing down..

Passion: Inexpensive amendments to garden plants......

I read in gardening blogs that the egg shells are nutritious for plants.........so I ground the dried shells and fed my plants..........


I hope, the plants will like it......

Place: Bicycling trails in Irvine.........

Orange county is known to be great for bicycling............
It has designated trails for the bicyclists........
Barely half mile from our place, the trail can be joined........It's the popular Jeffrey trail.........
The trail is bordered with lush lawn, which is dotted with beech, sycamore, oaks and myriad other native plants........some shots...











Autumnal looks...
