I am afraid that decades of life have not been able to take away my somewhat simplistic view of religions and co-existence...

| Road Inspection, and Theatre... |
[Dec. 16th, 2007|12:42 am] |
As part of the ongoing struggle to prevent our esteemed government from razing trees to make broader roads, four of us went down Kasturba Road, that abuts Cubbon Park, today. It was a wonderful walk in one sense, because starting from the Karunashraya at the corner,
( for some more pictures of Kasturba Road, click here )
Tomorrow we take our huntin'-shootin'-fishin' guest to Galibore, to show him a forest and a river where huntin', shootin' and fishin' (except for catch-and-release) are NOT permitted!
However, because of his interests, our guest is excellent at spotting birds...so he's going to be a great help in whatever photography KM and I do tomorrow!
Have a great Sunday, everyone...I love my life and I wish everyone were as happy as I am... |

And a couple of images from the trip:
That was a view of the wooden planks leading to my cottage...
And while on the subject of "my cottage", here's the view of the Bhadra Dam catchment area that I had from there:
A lovely trip, though just for a day... |

And here's a picture that has no religious overtones at all, but still speaks of festivity and happiness!
Loved the sight of them flapping in the rain-laden breeze... |

I think documents to do with driving should have the concerned person's blood group, and also have provision for a ICE no..(In Case of Emergency contact number)...I have written to the Regional Transport Authority and am waiting to see what would come of it.... |

| Two lovely sights in the sky |
[Sep. 26th, 2007|05:06 am] |
Yesterday, a few of us who write for Metroblogs were interviewed by Channel V for a program they are shooting across 8 cities.
Of course I took my little camera along...but apart from the very interesting evening, I saw what I call the smallest rainbow:
And within a few minutes, the nearly full moon was scudding through the clouds...
I am still feeling miserable for many reasons, but sights such as these really lift my spirits...the best things in life ARE sometimes free!
I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the other Metrobloggers, and will be writing about Janet, who plants trees for free...thought of ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) rohan_kini when I met her. |

Here's my metblogs post about the aftermath of the Ganesha festival:
http://bangalore.metblogs.com/archives/2007/09/aftermath_of_the_festival.phtml
Today I had a verbal slanging match with someone. As I walked out of the coffee shop near my home, I watched a very well-dressed, well-heeled man walk in...and spit twice on the road. I asked him why on earth he needed to spit on the road when he just had to walk a few more steps and spit in the washbasin in the eatery. I was soundly abused for my words, and walked away with the words "idiot" and worse, ringing in my ears. Short of getting into a worse argument with that guy...I couldn't do anything more. He had no qualms about abusing me loudly.
I can at least understand when a vegetable seller or a pushcart man spits on the road, but these "educated" heroes who first spit, and then abuse people who point it out to them...I could SPIT on THEM. I really could. |
