Some time ago, saw Life is Beautiful again. One of the puzzles Roberto asks: What is it: The more there is of it, the less you can see it.

a tribute to a gentleman

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

We lived in a joint family, and all my cousins – though they’re all settled abroad (mostly US) now, are like my own brothers and sisters, and our bond has remained intact over time. Was awakened to the news on Saturday that my cousin brother Dinesh, hardly 41 – has expired in a fatal car […]

procession at Malleswaram

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

Procession at Malleswaram 18th Cross Ganesha temple this evening (TN Seetharam was a special guest though as I was watching the procession, didn’t go near the dias where I could’ve probably seen him).

a little goldfish

Friday, February 23rd, 2007

A short (around 30 seconds) video taken with the mobile (Motorola V3i) while waiting in a lounge a few days ago.

Some of my best friends are smokers and I’ve had long conversations with them […]

[Had written this earlier, but could not post] I was quite curious about what the fuss was all about (I liked an article in the newspaper that said that true lovers would do on Valentine’s day what they’d do on any other day!) Googled to discover that St. Valentine was a great saint of pure […]

off late…

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

Off late I just haven’t been able to make the time for blogging – it seems surprisingly elusive! I have a lot of things in queue but somehow the queue is just becoming longer! Also I’m trying to be more of a reader nowadays than a writer, and have been reading other’s blogs/comments (many that […]

interesting comparison of West and East

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

I found this brilliant post by Suresh really funny and at the same time some serious food for thought! More people have heart attacks on Sunday in the West than on any other day The West is sun-oriented — too much activity. People are driving themselves mad with their activity. Too much speed — everything […]
