God or…god???

I was just reading my earlier post…and I had written the word “God”. This kindled in me a childhood memory…of me writing something…an essay perhaps where I had written “god” rather than “God” with a capital G.
My teacher had corrected i, struck out my “god” and wrote “God”…my rebellious streak which now surfaces way too [...]

Again..

Just when one crisis had passed…another seems to loom…patti is unwell again…blood in her stools…please God…let her be ok..I’m feeling so helpless…hope its some minor infection or something….
Please………..

Hail Hitler????

One in four Germans feel that the Nazi rule was not bad….that’s 25% of the population….whoa…am I missing something out here….the next thing they’d be saying is that Hitler was a hero among Germany’s Jews…..have these guys who commissioned this report check their sampling errors??? Or worse have we people totally lost it??

Racism…nah…

The media has been abuzz with reports of sections of the crowd at Baroda racially abusing Andrew Symonds…they taunted him with monkey chants and gestures.
It was abuse no doubt…but was it racist?? I really don’t think the crowd at Baroda understood the significance of Symonds’s aborginal origins…my guess is that there is no difference between [...]

A, patti and me

You’re a great thinker and a true philosopher.
You’d make a talented professor or writer.

I had written earlier about how the hailstones in Madras gave me that final push to start this blog…this was the incident, I think the first incident that caused me to think that I should write a blog…simply because it was such a sweet little thing that had happened that provided me with such amazement [...]

Visa Venkanna

There is a temple near Hyderabad where you can pray to Lord Balaji to grant you a visa..he is called “Visa Venkanna” or the giver of visas!!!
Quoting from the Geocities website:
” Whoever wants to go abroad for higher studies, employment, etc. has to first go to Chilkur and pay obeissance to the Lord and take a [...]

Five things…

…that have either altered my life or without which my life would have been extremely different and inconceivable…
1. My ICSE results…till then I was just another girl in class…a little intelligent…but nothing earth shattering…the super dooper results and my standing first catapulted me into the league of the smarties…the expectations of people initially was difficult [...]

Broken verses…

That’s the book I’m reading…is there any job in this whole wide world that involves reading all day..?
The happiest times at work was during my Industrial Training when I had finished my exams and had a month of training to kill…I had no work whatsoever and spent the entire day reading books I had downloaded [...]
