Friday, April 28, 2006. आग की भीख. A great poem by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar and one of my favourites (out of the few that I have read). If you care to read this blog, chances are that I know you and in that case it is quite probable that I have shown you this poem already - but felt like posting about it anyway! घास उड़ना चाहती है. और अकुलाती है,. मगर उसकी जड़ें धरती में. बेतरह गड़ी हुईं हैं।. इसलिए हवा के साथ. वह उड़ नहीं पाती है।. दिनकर (कुंजी). इसलिए तलवार टूटे, अश्व घायल. आग की भीख. धुँधली...कोई म...

Sunday, July 29, 2007. The Pacific Film Archive at Berkeley is having a film program on Abbas Kiorastami. These days. Kiorastami is an Iranian director who apparently. Has a reputation for making great movies with very simple themes and experimenting with different new techniques. I watched "Where is the friend's home? The program has quite a few films, but I am really curious about "Ten". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Saturday, January 30, 2010. जिजीविषा. मेरी खिड़की के झरोखे से इक सूखी टहनी दिखती है,. सर्द हवा. झोकों से अकेली जूझती हुई।. कभी बर्फ़ की चादर अोढ़े, कभी ठंडी धूप में ठिठुरते हुए,. कहीं उसे खुद पर दया तो न अाती होगी? अब तो कमबख्त पत्तों ने भी साथ छोड़ दिया है।. उस ठंडी निर्दय आंधी में कहीं वो सहम तो न जाती होगी? पर हफ़्तों से देखता हूँ, हार तो नहीं मानी इसने।. टहनी छोटी ही सही, जीवट तो बहुत है! टहनी मेरी ओर झुक कर, कुछ मुस्कुराकर बोली -. Its amazing.nice thought.:). Bahut hi badhiya dost!

http://madhurt.blogspot.com/2006/10/conference-workshop-and-rock-show.html
Wednesday, October 25, 2006. Conference, workshop and a rock show. I am currently in LA attending a workshop. At IPAM. This is right after attending FOCS. In Berkeley. FOCS was accompanied by a "Rock Show" organized by people from the Berkeley theory group. It is not everyday that you find your professors singing smells like teen spirit. With the word cocaine of course replaced by the more appropriate caffeine) . Here's a picture of Dick Karp. A more detailed account of the concert.

Saturday, May 26, 2007. When the protector destroys! Ok this dramatic title is to point to point out this bug. In the latest update of Symantec Antivirus. It thinks that two files necessary to windows are viruses and goes ahead to delete them, resulting in a windows crash and the feared "blue screen of death" (saying that a memory dump has been saved). Finally, if you found that boring, here's a video of "Indian Superman" to atone for it:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). When the protector destroys!

Monday, July 17, 2006. Indians are not to read blogs. The Indian government apparently decided. To block access to blogspot.com, geocities and a few other domains. Since blogger.com is still accesible, people can post blogs but not read them. Way to go! Wednesday, July 05, 2006. Went to the (American) Independence Day celebrations at Oakland. It is more like a day long picnic with large number of people, food, music and fireworks. I ate the food and photographed the rest. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
