In the centre of Koregaon Park in Pune lies a stretch of green which takes you to a different world. Osho Teerth Park, also known as Osho Garden, is an oasis of peace and quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle of all the restaurants and cafes Koregaon Park is famous for. A stream of turquoise water flows through the garden forming tiny pools and ponds at regular intervals before flowing ahead. Tiny bridges made of wood and stones offer visitors the delight of hopping onto the other side of the water stream. Trees, both huge and small, provide a cool shade in the afternoon sun.  Storks and egrets waddle through the shallow stream, trying to catch the tiny fish making their way about in the water.

Some trees have gigantic roots radiating outwards and spread out in all directions around the tree, like a pro

In a country where winter often feels endless, thousands still take the prediction remarkably seriously. The tradition supposedly began in 1956 after local resident Mac McKenzie invited friends to a Groundhog Day party at the town hotel. Most ignored the invitation, but a reporter from the Toronto Daily Star made the journey north expecting a genuine festival. Upon arriving, the reporter discovered there was no organised event at all and faced the prospect of returning to Toronto empty-handed to an unimpressed editor. Thinking quickly, McKenzie improvised. A fur hat was tossed into a snowbank to stand in for a groundhog, a prediction was declared, a photograph was taken, and an enduring Cana
