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...

Everything Over The Moon: June 2011
http://everythingoverthemoon.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Everything Over The Moon. Everything Under the Sun? Or Over the Moon? Saturday, June 25, 2011. Day 03 - Gangtok. The next day started with a good omen. As soon as we got up, had a bath and went out to the dining room for breakfast, we saw Mount. Kanchenjunga. There it was in all its glory, right in front of the dining room door. After clicking photos and eating breakfast, we left for Gangtok, the main destination of our trip. Mount Kanchenjunga from The Swiss Hotel. See my picasa web album. We got up, go...

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&...

Hallucinations!: Scatter-brainedness and the "joys" of packing
http://nychthemeron.blogspot.com/2015/06/scatter-brainedness-and-joys-of-packing.html
Sunday, June 21, 2015. Scatter-brainedness and the "joys" of packing. This last week, I have taken scatter-brainedness to an entirely new level. I'm doing something when something else needs my attention. I leave the first thing and start the second, and then the third thing asks for me, and so on, and by the end of an hour, I'm left with ten unfinished tasks. My friend recommends making lists of everything. But I make lists, don't find them when I need them, and then spot them at the oddest places.

Hallucinations!: In which Puttachi doesn't make me look very good.
http://nychthemeron.blogspot.com/2015/06/in-which-puttachi-doesnt-make-me-look.html
Monday, June 15, 2015. In which Puttachi doesn't make me look very good. I'm lying down in the afternoon, more for some quiet time than anything else. I hear Puttachi walking towards my room, and I close my eyes, pretending to be asleep. I know you are not asleep! Me: (opening eyes) How did you know? She: If you'd been really asleep, your mouth would have been slightly open! I was telling Puttachi stories of my hostel-life. She: I wish there were pictures. Me: Oh there are. I'll show you. Me: Yeah, why?

Hallucinations!: A month completed.
http://nychthemeron.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-month-completed.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. No, homesickness hasn't hit me. Yet. I've been driving everywhere with S next to me. I drove on the freeway too. Yay! We've been having lots of people over for meals. Making new friends. Didn't know a single neighbour until there was a fire alarm in the complex (false alarm). Met my neighbours :). Yet to meet the loads of friends and relatives who live in the Bay Area. Yes, little chance we will miss Indian anywhere in the world. And I repeat that. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

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. Wednesday, 23 September 2009. DVG, A N Murthy Rao, Charlie Brown and a fly in the er. ointment. That should be the longest title of any of my blogs so far). ನಂಬದಿರ್ದನು ತಂದೆ, ನಂಬಿದನು ಪ್ರಹ್ಲಾದ. ನಂಬಿಯುಂ ನಂಬದಿರುವಿಬ್ಬಂದಿ ನೀನು. ಕಂಬದಿನೋ ಬಿಂಬದಿನೋ ಮೋಕ್ಷವವರಿಂಗಾಯ್ತು. ಸಿಂಬಳದಿ ನೊಣ ನೀನು - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ. ಡಿ. ವಿ. ಜಿ. ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮನ.
