Aparna...I came across your blog recently...I am George's junior from UC and happened to check your account because I felt that you looked very familiar. Are you from Chennai?

I must admit that I am not a "plants" person but I still loved going through all your pics and totally impressed with your green thumb! : )<br /><br />I agree about the ME time too...I need that every now and then to recharge myself! : ))Annethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03310062622314467388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27998068.post-89208045452862956262013-01-24T21:04:19.371-08:002013-01-24T21:04:19.371-08:00LOL Nimue, sounds like you have a close and loving...LOL Nimue, sounds like you have a close and loving relationship with your mom though :)Aparnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06829120477564667304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27998068.post-85585031915344221652013-01-24T20:55:59.605-08:002013-01-24T20:55:59.605-08:00The first couple of times, I found it tough too Si...The first couple of times, I found it tough too Sirisha.
