Jag's Short Stories: October 2009
http://bareekate.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Bareekate is a (sort of) pun - in Kannada. Bari is to write, baree is only, kate is a story. So, only stories and a reminder to myself that I should write stories - short stories. Saturday, 3 October 2009. To read this in .pdf. He had to start early, go to the temple, do all the cleaning, decorations and preparations for the. And carry out the. At the auspicious time. Before that, he had to have a bath. That was going to be tough today. He stooped to the. His ears were filled with. And that no goddess wo...

Bareekate is a (sort of) pun - in Kannada. Bari is to write, baree is only, kate is a story. So, only stories and a reminder to myself that I should write stories - short stories. Sunday, 28 March 2010. Once upon a time there was an itinerant merchant. He bought his wares in the city, packed them in a cloth bundle and carried it on his head from village to village. He made a meagre living. He is such a wonderful designer. If he had given ash gourd sized fruits to this tree, I would be dead!

Musings in the æther: July 2009
http://musingsinthether.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Musings in the æther. Thursday, 9 July 2009. Madikeri ಲಿ ಮಂಜು and er. poetry. ಭೂಮೀನ್ ತಬ್ಬಿದ್ ಮೋಡಿದ್ದಂಗೆ. ಬೆಳ್ಳಿ ಬಳದಿದ್ ರೋಡಿದ್ದಂಗೆ. ಸಾಫಾಗಳ್ಳ ತಿಟ್ಟಿಲ್ದಂಗೆ. ಮಡ್ಕೆರೀಲೀ ಮಂಜು! ರಾಜರತ್ನಂ. One of the best memories of my school days is listening to Mysore Ananthaswamy singing this song in the Jayanagar 8th block Ramanavami programmes. When he sang this, there was a hush and the very air around us seemed to turn cool, even though it was summer! ತುತ್ತೂರಿ. ಮಡಿಕೆರೀಲಿ. The farm is actually a coffee plantation. On t...

Musings in the æther: April 2009
http://musingsinthether.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Musings in the æther. Wednesday, 29 April 2009. Samsung NC10 and Kailasam. I am typing this post on my new Samsung NC10. OK, one of the main reasons I started this blog was to get an opportunity to crow about my new lap top. I tried extolling its virtues to my wife, who was unimpressed. My work colleagues listened politely, but I could see their eyes glazing over after the first hour. But I've got you. Hooked, dear reader! Eat your hearts out, all of you. Except people who own a MacBook. A few weekends a...

Musings in the æther: August 2009
http://musingsinthether.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Musings in the æther. Sunday, 30 August 2009. Around two years ago, I was in the Achamore gardens on the island of Gigha. I was still new to my Nikon D50, and was looking for things to photograph. Amongst other things in the unique Achamore Gardens, a bright pink flower caught my eye, and I snapped it. Looking back I now feel it was a very clumsy attempt at a "macro" or a close up photograph. Neither could I recognise a Fuchsia when I saw one. The Glasgow and District Fuchsia Society. Hope you like them&...

Musings in the æther: Tales from Saraswathipura - Dhavala, the white horse
http://musingsinthether.blogspot.com/2012/02/tales-from-saraswathipura-dhavala-white.html
Musings in the æther. Monday, 27 February 2012. Tales from Saraswathipura - Dhavala, the white horse. Which story. ajji pondered. Dhavala! Came the answer in unison. And Dhavala's story it was. My dad liked horses, ajji said, and Dhavala even more so. He was a white horse, pure white. Not a dark spot, not a blemish, the kind that the Maharajas ride. And what's more, Dhavala was the smartest horse that I have ever seen. Now, what takes me back to that day, what makes me sigh at those fond memories? Not ju...

Musings in the æther: May 2009
http://musingsinthether.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Musings in the æther. Wednesday, 6 May 2009. One day in the life of a PLAB aspirant. In 1997, I left the comfortable, well paid job I had, left the comfort of my homeland, my people and came to work in the UK. The first step in this direction was to pass PLAB. A qualifying test that foreign doctors need to pass if they intend to work in the UK. I soon found myself in East London, the home of PLABers. From the subcontinent. Several. PLAB aspirants lived there, and prepared for PLAB. And access ' PLAB.
