October Sunset at University


.........

Thick fog in Dharwad on the last morning of 2009

Morning when I woke up at 5:15 I could smell mist in air. I peeped out of the kitchen window, I could see a white haze.

These shots and the video were from our office terrace around 8:30.

That'll be Christmas

...by Thea Gilmore.

I heard this number on BBC Radio 2, it was the very first time and I fell in love with it.

Shankar Nag

...one of my favorite actors. Shankar Nag had style and taste.

I watched Ondanondu Kaladalli once on TV sometime 80s and never got a chance to see it again. I still yearn to watch it again. I watched many of his movies. Songs from the movie Geeta are classy, they are still my favorite. His Malgudi Days are just unforgettable.

Yesterday I got an email from a Kannada group with a link to Shankar Nag's last interview. It's just audio, 23 minutes ... short. Never the less, I felt great listening to a genuine Kannada Kanmani.

Brandy vs. Doctor

One of colleagues caught cold and was coughing badly. I suggested brandy in warm water. Told him to have a quarter and boost his spirits. Thoughts and ideas flow and stop at-

Down a quarter
Kick the doctor


I hope, any doctor reading this post will take it on lighter vien.
