Someone is talking via me. Friday, September 30, 2005. There cannot be any method to bring back the worldview that I held when I was a kid. I always knew I was from one particular community, but I could never be able to differentiate myself from anyone else in the country. The issue was mu. Not applicable. And then the edifices fell one by one. And here are the symbolic events that did it. I asked. "Because you are a jat sikh and we stick together.". Their parents were also our teachers! And that is the ...

Someone is talking via me. Thursday, June 01, 2006. A Thailand - in a pack. Pattaya, just 1 degree of Thailand. The plane landed early early morning in Bangkok and all of us who smoked went straight for those tobacoo corners. This was the first time I had a proper visa in my passport, otherwise full of triangular 'thai visa on arrival" ink stamps. I always hated people travelling in groups, but here I was doing the same. Well, soon I found that the lady was not going to make my life any easier. She s...

Someone is talking via me. Sunday, May 21, 2006. All's quiet but the minds whirring . The mind, like a fan inside a calm hut. Just keeps running. Its been a long time since I posted anything and I am afraid I must have lost my readers - the few I may have had. It’s like I have to either cool down or warm up. Delhi, India Gate: From where power flows. This is where happiness flows from. Fish Curry - South style. Madurai Meenakshi Temple again. Basically, I fear their barbaric nature - one aimed at owning ...

Someone is talking via me. Friday, November 25, 2005. Busy, busy, busy. The last week and more I have been busy, busy, busy. Very busy. So, busy that I did not have a chance to be embarrased by my last post. I have had one event after another to manage and many of them falling over each other. Another thing has happened. A bunch of around 7 dogs have found home in front of my gate! In a way I like this trust. Something, which in this very busy period helps me slow down. Posted by trangam at 9:01 AM.

Someone is talking via me. Tuesday, January 24, 2006. The Big Banyan Tree. This is just the beggining of the Big Banyan tree sprawled over 3-4 acres. 400 years old. A full view needs a special camera I guess or an aerial shot. Today was a tiring but nice day. Had to drive down out of Bangalore towards Mysore, for work. And on the way we decided to drop in an pay our respects to the Big Banyan Tree and its really something - and really big. And its all spread around like a huge intricate umberella. There ...

Someone is talking via me. Sunday, October 30, 2005. Where did you sleep last night? Pics taken from the exhibition at 1 Shanthi Road. In an earlier blog. I remarked how, inspite the useless conditions many of us Indians live in. many still show a heart. Well, I just mentioned it in a few words, but yesterday I found a person who has lived it through! And she is not even Indian. Now, I am no 'artist' ( should I be? Instead, I first went picked a drink for myself, munched on the snacks. And then I returne...

Someone is talking via me. Saturday, February 25, 2006. A month of silence and some comfort. Its exactly a month since I touched my blog. And I think my few visitors must have given up on me? I travelled for approximately 20 days and came back with a fever the day I landed and the day India discovered the Bird Flu virus! So, I live with fever and some cough and reach office. But suddenly there is a sudden sense of peace in being unwell. If not the fever, my mind is restless and pacing and I want everythi...

Someone is talking via me. Wednesday, July 19, 2006. India blocks Blogs. But leaves the mind to wander. There is probably no better news for companies such as blogger if they are seeking greater participation from Indians! India has blocked blogs. ( or is it better to say Government of India? Or the Indian ISPs? Sounds odd to me. So, why do I say its good news for companies like Blogger? Let me tell you there is a good side to this! Now, they do. Now, more and more bloggers will seek such blogs, visit th...

Someone is talking via me. Tuesday, March 14, 2006. Holi - the thanda (cool) festival. P icture picked from. Holi is a big festival in India and really enjoyable. Its all water and colours all day long. Pretty similar to Songkran in its style. Its a spring festival . Also the Hindu New year for many. Its also connects with the legend of the duel between King of demons - Hiranyakashipu. His son, but also the devotee of Lord Vishnu - Prahlad. You can actually see a recipe of this drink at this site. Someon...
