Tsunami Strikes

None would have imagined that a peaceful Sabbath day would morph into something comparable to the End of Days. The magnitude of destruction caused by the Tsunami was devastating. The worst-hit states were Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. The slums that were once infamously located along the coastline of Chennai were at the the receiving end of Mother Nature's fury. We can only pray and hope that the after-shocks dont cause any more damage.

The following links might be useful. They detail whats needed, where they are needed, the available channels etc.,

Salsa Days

Was filled with a sudden nostagic feeling of my Salsa days. Learning Salsa/Jive/Merengue was one of the outrageous things that I ever did. That Latin Dancing is seductive - is an understatement of the first order. I used to look forward to those fun-filled and embarrasing salsa lessons. But all the embarrassment was soft pedalled by the fact that eveyone in my batch had two left feet when it came to dancing. Well, getting the steps wrong was always a blessing in disguise ... you would then have the gorgeous instructor pesonally attending to you !!!

Sigh ..... those were the days of moonshine.

Coimbatore - Will the balloon go up ?

I read this article which sounds quite encouraging. If at all Coimbatore manages to become the IT hub, I would definitely opt to move out of Bangalore. I wish this all this hoopla turns into something more tangible. I see that land rates have been skyrocketing in CBE (Coimbatore) in the recent past. This is the latest straw in the wind. Hope Coimbatored joins Bangalored in the dictionary soon.

Poor Visitor count

Everyday, I dutifully check out the visitor count to my blog. Pathetically low !!!!. Only a couple of my friends keep visiting this site. People are yet to discover these powerful ramblings of this genius (yes, thatz me !!!). My last resort will be to check out these sites that offer to increase the traffic onto one's website.

Stooping to such levels

The things these IT guys do !!!!! I find it attrocious even to think of such an idea. They are making a total mockery of match-making.

Why ???

Why is it easy to put on weight, but not to lose it ?
Why is it easy to destroy things, but not to create them ?
Why is it easy to hurt others, but not to forgive them ?
Why is it easy to preach, but not to follow ?
Why is it easy to spend, but not to earn ?
Why is it easy to ridicule others, but not be ridiculed ?
Why is it easy to hate, but not to love ?
Why is it easy to forget, but not to remember ?
Why is it easy to hide, but not to confide ?
Why is it easy to be afraid, but not to be brave ?
Why is it easy to be in SUN, but not in IBM ?
