Knots-and-What-nots !: January 2010
http://knots-and-what-nots.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 20, 2010. Was very shaken after this. How difficult it is to prove intention! All that the world sees is action, and it is so difficult to prove one's innocence! She might well be a kleptomaniac! In fact, some days back on the bus, I heard this programme on a stupid radio channel, where the RJ was asking viewers who have shoplifted to call and tell how they did it, and she was giving away gift vouchers to the callers! I would have thought that the "caught shoplifter" was one such girl!

Friday, July 29, 2011. You would urge me to have yet another cup of tea and more biscuits while I chatted with Aajoba and tried my hand at reading the Marathi paper. Tuesday, July 19, 2011. The summer of 2011 [Vamsee shall smile at this :P] shall be remembered for lot of things - our first summer since Indu left for the US, Gaya3 giving her colloquium, lots of ups and downs at my home, etc etc; but the sweetest memories of this summer will be of the mangoes. We started with the sweet-sour Rasapuri. In th...

http://knots-and-what-nots.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Independence day - the day we celebrate our freedom from tyrant British rulers, the day we sing praises of the innumerable known and unknown people who struggled and even, lost their lives for our country. This Independence day , I wish for. Freedom - from communal and regional riots. Freedom - from miscreants who go under the garb of moral police. Freedom - from the rampant corruption that is plaguing the country. Freedom - from inefficient Governance. View my complete profile.

Knots-and-What-nots !: Satyam bruuyat, priyam bruuyat
http://knots-and-what-nots.blogspot.com/2012/09/satyam-bruuyat-priyam-bruuyat.html
Thursday, September 27, 2012. Satyam bruuyat, priyam bruuyat. Satyam bruyat priyam bruyat na bruyat satyam apriyam. Priyam ca nanrutam bruyat esha dharmah sanatanah. Speak truth in such a way that it should be pleasing to others. Never speak truth, which is unpleasant to others. Never speak untruth, which might be pleasant. This is the path of eternal morality, sanatana dharma. I wonder how oncologists do this job daily, of meeting people and telling them the whole truth. True, the dilemma of how to say ...

Knots-and-What-nots !: True anti-corruption comes from within.
http://knots-and-what-nots.blogspot.com/2011/08/true-anti-corruption-comes-from-within.html
Friday, August 26, 2011. True anti-corruption comes from within. When Shri Anna Hazare started his protests against corruption, the Middle class joined in with gusto, as this seemed to them to be the one way out of this evil that plagued them regularly. In the TOI, there were several reports and quotes by these people who claimed they had to pay bribes so often. Who is to decide the degree or the severity of the act and decide what is OK and what is not? The great Gordon Gekko once said,. 1 about the aut...

Wednesday, October 28, 2009. The left panel is taken from a 1980 strip; the right is from a 1990 strip.]. Was reading about Garfield on Wiki. They speak about how the Garfield appearance changed over years, as is seen in the panels above. The description given is - ". The appearance of Garfield was probably the most notable; he underwent a "Darwinian evolution" in which he began walking on his hind legs, "slimmed down", and "stopped looking [.] through squinty little eyes".

Knots-and-What-nots !: April 2012
http://knots-and-what-nots.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 26, 2012. The calm after the storm. We had welcome rains in Bangalore yesterday - well, welcomed by all but the spectators of the IPL match at Chinnaswamy, I guess! The showers soaked the parched earth and soothed the fevered minds of people. It rained through the night, as the people slept fitfully to the lullaby of the pitter-patter rain drops. As Robert Browning would say -. THE year 's at the spring,. And day 's at the morn;. Morning 's at seven;. The hill-side 's dew-pearl'd;.
