Hello Earthlings!! Wish you all a very happy new year 2019. I have grand plans for this place in the new year so watch out for me. I personally am returning from a long break and some self reflection and am feeling great and grateful !!

This is story of some days of my childhood when our taps ran dry and the memory never goes away. And no I am no slum dweller.. I just happen to be in any regular city in India with poor water management and distribution system. Mine was just charged with additional political issues.
