      It would nice if we could do away with the word verification. The words are hard to decipher and sometimes it is irritating to get the combination right. :(

      Please excuse me for writing this in the comment section, just my humble suggestion :)

      Thanks a lot Arti and I am happy that you brought it to my knowledge that one has to verify while commenting in my blog..I too find it irritating and thought that my blog is free from it..But i was ignorant of this..I will rectify it..

    Ah, my city!!

    Victoria Memorial is ever so beautiful, partially because of the city it belongs to, isn't it?
