The month of June was hectic. I had a lot of catching up to do with friends and cousins. I visited a friend's farm, and as he does every year, he gifted me a sack of mangoes from his orchard. One Sunday, my friend, his son, and I also trekked up Shivagange. The place was crowded, but it was still an enjoyable outing. During a visit to another friend's house, we made a trip to the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Ulsoor. The place is beautiful. The ashram is housed in a palace that was donated to the Ashram. We took a tour of the building and its peaceful surroundings.
