I stayed in this building for nearly 3 weeks when I had visited New York for a 3 weeks. It was a nice cozy apartment in the financial district. I walked to office which was in 60 , wall street. This building was opposite battery part where you could see joggers running nearly all time of the day. Rarely did I not see them even on weekends. You could see new jersy on the opposite shore from the park. The WTC which fell after 9 /11 and called ground zero is not far from this place . it was a touching experience to visit ground zero and to imagine that this has one of NY tallest towers and so many people working in it. The time i visited all the debris was cleared so it was just a plain ground all set for the new building to be constructed . I took the train from here to go to New Jersy.

Portulaca grandiflora (Moss-rose Purslane or Moss-rose), is a flowering plant in the family Portulacaceae, native to Argentina, southern Brazil, and Uruguay. This has been grown post monsoons in out complex at multiple places. They really add colour to the landscape.
In Bangladesh, it is called “Time Fuul”, which means “Time Flower”,
It is a small, but fast-growing annual plant growing to 30 cm tall, though usually less. Requires very less maintenance.

Gaillardia shot taken in uniworld Garden, Gurgaon, India
Gaillardia the Blanket flowers, is a genus of drought-tolerant annual and perennial plants from the sunflower family , native to North and South America. It was named after M. Gaillard de Charentonneau, an 18th-century French magistrate who was a patron of botany.
The common name refers to the inflorescence’s resemblance to brightly patterned blankets made by native Americans.

India, cattle are sacred. It is estimated that there are 1.3 billion cattle in the world today and India is has one of the largest population of these and hence is largest producers of milk world wide.
India also has a lot of stray cattle all over and thats seen on roads or like the photo you see blow which is stray cattle .

Portulaca grandiflora goes by several names – that of Portulaca, Moss Rose, Rose Moss and Sun Plant. Annual succulent from South America. These plants are short and prefer full sun in a position that will dry out between waterings. The flowers tolerate hot, dry conditions well and bear large flowers with colours white/cream, rose, orange and yellow.
Easy to grow and thrive with just a little care. These are new sown after the rain by the landscaping guys in Uniworld Garden . They really look pretty.Took this shot on a Sunday. It was too windy must try again another day , also lawn mover was in action that frightened my son.
