Lokesh took Shaji and I out into the Haryana countryside on Monday (Sunday night in Waterloo). Shaji is looking for land to build a new orphanage with a boy's house and a girl's house. We looked at some places closer to Gurgaon, where these beautiful country homes were. The one had a swimming pool and this pond with Lillies. The other was on 6 acres with citrus trees and a pair of peacocks on the roof. The roof is about as high as a peacock can fly. Vinay pointed one out on top of a cell-phone tower once, which would be their absolute flight ceiling.
