Another month . None of our regulars surfaced since two months

 Junes here, the Monsoon clouds are around, Kerala has started getting rains in abundance,  Bangalore has been treated to some unprecedented showers and development woes...Coonoor is not far behind but the dams are still to fill up.. ...Do we have more bloggers coming in or only the faithful five keeping the blog rolling? Teddy our original Blog Master has deserted the Blog...
   

 Another Stanite does us proud again, T Swathi Sree who cracked the civil services exams last year with 126th Rank and allotted IRS has again cracked the exams this year as the state Topper ranking 42nd in all India Merit. Congrats Swathi Sree
