Happy New Year from “The ABODE MOUNT ABU”




Christmas Morning Mount Abu


I’m looking forward to an exciting year 2010 meeting old class mates and friends who have not been in touch over a decade or so.
I from the Abode would like to wish you a fabulous and stress free 2010. I have a ton of things planned and plan on keeping all informed on events and information on this unique hill station Mount Abu that I reside in. I’ll keep all informed of new features on Abu as they unfold throughout the year. This year I believe is the Chinese year of the Tiger. Tigers in Abu became history when Abu was under the rule of the English and the elite Rajputs that once ruled this place.  I plan to muster a group of Abu volunteers to save the Jungle Cock of Abu from disappearing altogether (like the Tigers) to the poachers who serve those in positions to pay for these beautiful jungle fowls. It’s been ages since I last laid eyes on these feathered beauties. I have roamed almost every nook and corner of Abu on the lookout for them but have only discovered that they have become a subject of looking for the fabled Golden Fleece.
In the mean time I would like to hear from you on suggestions of topics that would make this a better place to take a look at  in the coming future.
