There are some features (e.g. comments, rating etc.) that I have turned off as i did not wanted them as part of my theme.

I am still working on the theme to include these features in the next release.

With the onset of monsoon in Pune, it was the right time to capture the beautiful golden skies.

So, as promised, sharing some of my experiments :)

Had an amazing experience this weekend at Karjat where we, as a team, volunteered for Habitat for Humanity foundation. Considering we were on a team outing, this was an excellent team building exercise where teams from Hyderabad, Chennai and Pune help build houses for the poor (people below the poverty line).

We started our journey on Friday morning. The bus was to pick us up at 8.30 am but it was delayed as other guys travelling from Hyderabad reached late. Our accommodation was handled by Prakruti Farms which is 80kms drive from Mumbai. The place is surrounded by hills and beautiful landscaped gardens. We relaxed ourselves at the farm and immediately headed for the site visit to a village. The village was a site to see. I had never seen a village so beautiful, so pure and so clean, surrounded by picturesque landscapes and skyscapes. The villagers were very welcoming. One of my collegue Debabrata mentioned during our team interaction that in our normal life, the poeple from far off villages come to city and builds houses for us, but this one was a different experience. This time around, the guys from the city were going to the villages to build houses for the poor.

I must say, the village was so clean with no filth around. It looked as if it was some kind of a set erected for some film shooting. I also had some opportunity to try my hands on photography and was quite happy with the results.

In all, it was a wonderful experience. My sincere thanks to Habitat for making villages a better place to live.
