HosKote Pix

These birds used to come to a garden close to our home in Bainan. So here goes my tribute to them.

These pictures were taken by Akash. He forgot to wear light color that day So instead of Akash watching birds, it was "ulta".

Nachiketa and Hoskote

Lots to write about :

So I will follow a chronological sequence.

• Ganesh : Started taking a class on Group and Rings and Fields. Great excitement. Knowledge can get you. I was always fascinated by the way Mathematicians think about abstract algebra. So this could be as well my final attempt to know about what Abel did to quintic eqn.
• Talent : And that will be Nachiketa. What I saw in Ambedkar bhavan on Saturday can only be compared to MJ in 95's MTV award performance (perception wise). I forgot all about Chandrabindoo by the time Nachiketa finished.
• Dragonfly : Went with Akash to Hoskote lake. "Hos" -> New "Kote"->fort. Totally amuzing. Nature in its Ultimate. Saw too much beautiful birds. I love them. The birds, the trees, the bell on the top of the temple, the evening breeze and the dragoflies who were shamelessly mating in hordes. We got to see a new bird (as per Akash) and damsel fly.

"There are dragonflies more like deragons and there are those who are more like flies "

• Dumbledore : Means bumblebee. I love this guy who does things in style. Oneday I am going to buy some chocolate frog cards.Fifth party is over.

"Is this whole world the Hogwarts grounds where you cant apparate or disapparate"

Fantasy

Breakfast : I will have lots of things to choose. Like we had in Kadavu or Ooty. With not so many people. Kadavu has a great location. Eating by the riverside.

Or

Perfect western breakfast with breads and omelets. I will be looking out through a big pane of glass(Yes, like K C Das in Bangalore). But then the Church street should be a small river(like Danube in Ulm). And there will be one or two news papers I will be skimming through before making it to the office wearing a tie and looking damn smart.

Cycling : After office I will go for a long ride in the mountain(God, please keep me fit till that day comes). It will be a windy road and I will reach the top.

Learning from a lonely weekend

Idea : - Think about a guy who comes back to his own city after staying in abroad for a long time. He will definitely not know Tippasandra has become one-way. Think about all the chaos he will make innocently.

Probably I am not connected to people anymore.I cant think of the problems people in my used to be world faces now. I should increase my PR I suppose.

Something for my mission statement

• Do not judge or tag people before even knowing them .
• Do not criticize anybody who is not present.
• Do not react to situation. Have patience and respond after a thought. Dont be a rash.

Lessons....

1. Dont try to achieve. Learn and implement. Achievement will come automatically.
2. May be you are not a good learner or talented or whatever. Probably what you always wanted is just the fame or the "exclusivity".
3. You might not be so talented as you think you are. Atleast that doesnt show.
4. Passion changes? Or what you do is your passion?

A perfect circular omelette

I have been trying for ages and looks like I am close to it now. I could make circular omelettes. If you are wondering whats great about it, let me tell you that this is listed in The 100 hardest things to achieve in Husband turned Cook's guide to the cooking galaxy. The key is to flip it properly and wholly. And I am doing it.
Though I hate Times of India for all the almost nude pictures they publish in their backpages(Though sometimes I drool over them), I love their literary supplement on Sunday. This time it published review of Shalimar the clown by you-know-who (I am in Goblet of fire now) and a good list of books (and one is here) from Ruskin Bond.
The FEM class was great this time. I hope to finish the homework by Thursday night(ambitous haan?).
