And each time singer-actor Hardy Sandhu would poke a finger to his eyes to show them that they are for real. As real as his thoughtful songs are, as real has his acting debut!

So far so great

One season,many moods
There is inspiration in every bit of the first shower. Nature's muse that is a call to the creative-the poet with his words, the painter with his canvas and the musician with his notes. The monsoon chapter takes you to larger than life clouds, the beautiful browns reflected in the earth and vast lands refreshed by the annual spell of rain. How else would you explain the season? Throw in a paper boat made during carefree playful days. How else?

Cutting edge
The monsoon will be weak, but any prediction of showers is welcome news for the gardeners. One thing more, it is not necessary that there is rain all the time and then only the garden will be happy. What matters more is the humidity level, which should go up. At the same time, the temperature should not be more or that becomes conducive for the build-up of disease spores. The time is not suitable for putting bulbs as at times in an effort to get early bloom, the gardeners or commercial growers put gladiolus bulbs in the soil. Due to high humidity and high temperature, there is almost complete damage due to pathogens.
