Useless trivia about me – Part deux…translates as: I couldn’t think of what to blog about today ;)


I get a high when I finish performing a piece and somebody in the audience involuntarily lets out a “Wow !” (happened twice in day-before-yesterday’s show *blushes*)

I have no idea what is ‘PTT’ that I see in my cell phone. (I tell you, I am technologically challenged!)

I am mortally afraid of cows and buffaloes (for a very valid reason).

Sometimes, I act out scenes from plays or movies, the way I’d want to do them, in front of the mirror when alone at home.

I am addicted to buying books…well, not addicted really, but it takes immense effort on my part not to buy more books.

I love to sing loudly while driving my bike.

I usually can't leave a bookstore without at least one book, it's against my nature, LOL! ;-)

Used to be true of me too...till the time I discovered that we have more books than all other possessions taken together :) In fact when we move houses, the movers regard us as freaks when they find out that 80% of the boxes contain books ! So I have to take extreme measures not to buy anymore :)

‘Geographically challenged’

I laughed my guts out while reading this . Then I had another bout of laughter thinking of all the incidents that happen with me. For a long time now I have known that I am, what I like to call, ‘geographically challenged’ :) Situation 1 - If I go inside a building (happens mostly with residential buildings), then after I exit the lift (elevator) or come down the stairs, I cannot quickly locate the gate ! Situation 2 - If I am inside a building, I will routinely point in wrong directions to indicate places outside the building. Situation 3 - I am presently at office. I have come here from home. Now I have to go to some place where I have always gone from home and never from office. What do I do ? I go home first and from there I go to that place. It doesn’t matter if it is a longer distance or takes more time. I have to do this, because simply have no mechanism to re-align my mental map to my present location ! Situation 4 - Another thing is that if I have come to your place in

The balance of nature

The Japan earthquake and tsunami managed to bring tears to my eyes. It is terrible to see the amount of damage …to humans, to property, to the landscape…to lives…and it will take ages to restore some sense of normalcy. Life as they knew it before this disaster is lost forever for all the affected people…those who are still alive. :( Call me weird or naïve or stupid or un-informed or anything, but I really believe that we humans have managed to bring things to such a level where Nature has to act to restore the balance. How else does one explain the rise in the frequency of natural disasters and the increased intensity of the damage they cause each time they occur ? The uncontrolled population increase over the centuries itself has been responsible in robbing the Earth of its natural resources. Add to it the greed of humans…we can’t take just as much as we need…we have to take more and hoard. We don’t think of preservation, of regeneration or of repaying what was taken. We cross the
