Blogging Marathon is back. This time i was a little late in replying to Srivalli to join this marathon and missed the first group but she was kind enough to start a second group for marathoners who will start their blogging from today to 10th of this month. I have chosen RICE VARIETIES as my theme.I start this marathon with capsicum rice.
