Rubber trees wearing miniskirts! This is a common scene in the rubber plantations during the rainy season.

The title enticed me to jump onto this post. 🙂 Still, I half expected something like this. 😛
Paresh: Gotcha… 🙂 😉
Beautiful sight and simile 🙂
I noticed two aspects. Miniskirts as well as a preplanned large scale exploitation attempt ! My god ! 🙂
Thulasy: Thanks…
Sheeba: “… a preplanned large scale exploitation attempt!” I am glad that you noticed… 🙂 🙂
You had me there for a moment 🙂 I totally agree with Sheeba on the exploitation part 😉
Read the last few posts today. The one about your new book took me back so many years. Ravi and Betty Karunakaran’s house bordered our school and college at Alleppey. The place was so myterious and romantic to our young hearts – the massive structure and that out of the world garden – we could only get some passing sneaks when the gates were open or from the second and third floor classrooms. Their swarovski collection I’ve heard is one of the largest in the world. It is so great of Betty that she decided to share all their treasures with the rest of the world.
Bindu: exploitation 🙂 🙂 Long time no see. Hope you are well and all is fine.
