the secret of happiness
Recently a Brazilian in Orkut wrote a message to me saying that her friend had exactly the same kind of picture as me, with some text on it, and asked me what the text written above my picture was.

some ideas about the Mahabharatha
I’m no authority on all this, I’m just summarising what I’ve so far learnt and understood from various sources. I think the Mahabharatha can be seen at many different levels. At one level, its a story – someone kills someone, someone takes an oath to not do that, someone plots against someone, someone else sticks…

interview with a poet
[post contains kannada] This was a real gem on sampada… at first I had a [totally baseless] assumption that the interview might be about politics or something (and boring)… (The writeup says: “ಸಿರಿಸಂಪಿಗೆಯ ಕವಿ ಚಂದà³à²°à²¶à³‡à²–ರ ಕಂಬಾರರನà³à²¨à³ ಕನà³à²¨à²¡à²¿à²—ರಿಗೆ ಪರಿಚಯಿಸà³à²µ ಅಗತà³à²¯à²µà²¿à²²à³à²².” – ಆದರೆ ನನà³à²¨à²‚ತ ಮà³à² à³à² ಾಲà³à²°à³‚ ಇರà³à²¤à³à²¤à²¾à²°à³† ಸà³à²µà²¾à²®à²¿ – ನನಗೆ ಗೊತà³à²¤à²¿à²°à³à²²à²¿à²²à³à²²… 😳 ) …but anyway… the podcasted interview…

ninety-nine percent?
Haven’t watched this movie, but it seems to be a nice one – atleast based on this dialogue I came across today – which by itself alone says a lot: John Hobbes: You take any cop on the force, cream or no, ninety-nine percent of the time they’re doing their job, aren’t they? Jonesy: Ninety-nine…
