The Purple Mango Tree
http://purplemangotree.blogspot.com
My blog celebrates people I've met, places I've been, voices I've heard and faces I've seen.
My blog is also about my thoughts and my reflections on the universe in general and my universe in particular.
Actually, my blog is about whatever I want to write about on a particular day--fiction, poetry, travelogue, philosophy, humour--and that's not an exhaustive list!
