Shyamala annavarapu We too accumulated a lot of books because we like to buy rather than borrow from libraries. I really like this idea of little free libraries that you mentioned. Unfortunately we don't have places like that where we live.

Shyamala annavarapu Your garden looks beautiful!We had a garden in our home too but we shifted base a few years back. The garden has been neglected after that. It broke my heart to see all the grass dried up when I last visited the place.

Shyamala annavarapu @Marcyaz I don't know about actual war time as I was born after the war ended. What I remember is about early 60s. Times have changed since then and children find it hard to believe that things could have been so difficult.
