What a thing to hump..! Your study..!<br /><br /> - This chap quite certainly wants to make <span style="font-weight:bold;">friends</span>. Check out the number of occurrences of the word.<br /><br /> - And then he has a glorious moment of self-doubt.. "i want to make friends?" ??!!!<br /><br /> - What does "<span style="font-weight:bold;">aur</span>" mean in the above context? <br />Is it "or" in Hindi? If yes it doesn't make sense. <br />If its "and" in Hindi? well that doesn't make sense either. <br /><br />.........<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/999657830766335443-7694920650743164197?l=sometrekker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Srikanthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17014104929238389620noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999657830766335443.post-83271290725964427132009-01-12T12:31:00.000-08:002009-01-12T13:20:08.107-08:00<span style="font-family:georgia;">All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things.</span> <span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /> -Bobby Knight</span> <span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /><br />Like many of you, if there is one person in my life whom i</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> have never really understood, its myself. Dont run sc</span><span style="font-family:georgia;">ared now... This blog wont try to do that. But even in that incomprehendible City-market style madness one thing i have learnt to live with is that the few pounds of gray matter behind my eyes is well... restless. </span> <span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">And the last year has added the proverbial aviation fuel</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> to fire. </span> <span style="font-family:georgia;">Sample this.<br /><br />I ve gone from trekking in </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">the Himalayas to getting al</span><span style="font-family:georgia;">most bedridden by back ache. From taking pictures with borrowed snapshots to having my very own Nikon. From being sent to New York on training to being given the pink slip - Thanks to the Yankees not paying their mortgages. Come on now..!! Don't we all blame Uncle Sam for (almost..?!)all our problems. That's MY contribution.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">So there's a sample of the aviation-fuel-grade-stuff i have found myself in.</span> <span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /><br />All those events running amok in that restless brain. I</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">finally decided i ll put some on paper(yeah it comes in a "Notepad"). Now to make this kichiDi of ideas edible i have come up with this elaborate scheme of things.
