Haavina Dweshaaa.........

Had been to a morning walk to a park in Sadashivanagar. This is generally my routine during the weekends..The only source of some exercise to this wearing body! :-) Everytime Vinay, my friend and myself used to go for a walk, we used to spot a couple of snakes in the drains of the park. There are 2 young ones and an adult snake in the park. So we decided that we will try our stint at getting some NatGeo kind of pictures! Here are the ones that we could catch...









Vinay has an eye for creatures like snakes! He is the snake man of our gang!! After developing interest in photography, I too have started appreciating things like flowers, their colours, animals, insects, repltiles!! :-) Now we have a common dream..to become a NatGeo photographer and explore the jungles of Africa and South America.. Its really a dream job. Even though there are many risks involved in this kind of job, you will be pursuing what interests you the most! It would be great if someones reading this blog could sponsor a nice DSLR to "upcoming" and "budding" photographers like us! ;-)

Maduve Maduve Maduve......

Its maduve season now...Lotsa people getting married. We are almost coming to an end of the season. I might have attended atleast aroung 8-10 maduves of friends in the past 2-3 months!! Its my cousin's maduve tomorrow....habbada vaatavarana in our house.. Actually there arent much preparations that are required from the Groom's side...So me doing the labour class physical labour, the one that I am used to in office! :-P

For the first time, yesterday I had been to a beauty parlour! :-D Got a "skin polisher" facial massage done! It too around 2 hours for the "beauty therapy"! :-D He applied around 4-5 types of creams! One for sun tan, another for under-eye circles, couple more for dry skin and polishing and a Multani Mitti face pack!! Oh God! I cant believe I am saying/writing these things!! :-)) Seems like a slow but sure transition to a metro-sexual male!!??!! hehehe

Its been a enjoyable experience this week. Had taken the entire week off for the preparations. Good break from work! Now its again back to work from this week! I am cutting short this blog, as my mother is pounding me with curses for not attending the Sathayanarayana pooja thats going on right now!! tata

Kalla NatWAR..Even doDD kaLLru Congress!!

The whole Natwar Singh episode has got me wondering whether politics is only about opportunism! Natwar Singh is beyond doubt a party in the oil for food scam. So is the Congress party! Now look at the way Congress has deserted Natwar! :-) Of course not without any reason did they suspend him...But opportunism takes the front seat in all the transactions in politics. As soon as Congress suspended him, he shot back saying that its the first time that a PM is ruling the nation without even winning the Municipality elections!! Even though I have enormous respect for the PM as a person (dont mistake it to b Project Manager!!)..for the contributions he has made to the Indian economy, I will still consider him as a weak PM for the simple reason that not many of his decisions are actually made by him!

The most funny part about this whole episode is Natwar has found "friends" in the BJP and SP!!! :-)) He is now spending more time with these party people! Yashwant Sinha hiself has told today that there are no permanent foes/friends in politics. Does that ring a bell?

The way in which the Pathak committee has composed its report too is questionable. The report has said that Natwar Singh was a beneficiary. But no trace can be found to any money deposited to any of his accounts!! Also, Congress has been exonerated of being a non contractual beneficiary!! :-)) Is that believable??? Can anybody believe that??? hahahaha. Its like saying..A hungry lion killed a deer and didnt eat it! I am sure that there was a compromise that was worked out before the report was made. In the larger interests of the Congress party, it has not been named as a beneficiary. Natwar has been indicted in the scam with the compromise that no money was traced to him. others who were actually indicted as being financial beneficiaries, Andaleeb Sehgal and Aditya Khanna are not noticeable. Somebody is found guilty. The prominent people who were charged are indicted by the report but not completely. The main party is let off. In the end its pleased everyone! How neat!! ain't it?? Congress is the mother of all corruption!! Everyone knows that. And to close out chapters like these....nobody needs to teach them! :-) Its like saying "Sooryange torchaa" ??

When will such things reduce????????
