ALISHA ASKS 006

Alisha asked me yesterday why some people cut the hair on the top of their head but leave only some at the side and the back.

"Is it a Punjabi style ?" she asked. [ She was referring to balding people ]

Dussehra [ Light over darkness ]


Darkness [ evil = ignorance ] is merely the absence of light., shine light to dispel darkness. – Shakti Gawain.
To be seized of and possessed by a creative impulse so strong and powerful that it surpasses the vessel that contains it. And that what it goes on to produce is something so fantastic that it serves to be a source of inspiration for generations after that.

Such is what I want the purpose of my life to be. Such are my thoughts on inspiration and life’s purpose [ while listening to Alison Moyet – Love letters, and my inspiration to make a music VDO to that. ]

KG WISDOM 04

It is in the nature of TRUTH to be rooted in subjectivity and thus self-contradictory. It follows that no such thing as a "Universal Truth" can exist.

The School Re-Union

There are places I remember
all my life,
Though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain.

[ Beatles - In My Life ]

I attended a school mates re-union in the last week of July. About 50 of us from different parts if India / the globe, met up at the Alma Mater in Pune, and spent a good part of 3 days catching-up with each other, reminiscing, and basically becoming kids once more.
The official term for ex-students at Bishops is “Old Boys”, and that should tell you something.

We had a terrific time as we met up with old teachers, our ex-principal & his wife who was the head mistress. Played basket ball / volley ball with the present kids, who seemed like bachhas compared to when we were at school. But then all guys feel that way I guess.

20 years is a long time to catch up; but what made it easier is that most of us could pick up where we left off last.

PAPIKONDA RE-VISITED

Papikonda is a wild life sanctuary which starts in the foothills of the Eastern Ghats, and runs right along the leg of it, as it feeds the mighty Godavari river.

We made a trip there once more, as I had wanted Deepa & the kids to also experience it.
We had a great time, although we all got pretty exhausted by the end of it.

here are some pics.
