Love Bug

Two female dung-beetles on the lawn one dreamy night.
The first one asked the other “So how did he actually woo you?”
Chin supported on her middle legs gently stroking her horns with the front two,
Dreamily looking at the moon she says “Those lovely eyes and a lot of bullshit”

Jewelry Enamel

Sunday evening, Balan explains the whole process of Jewellery Enamel Painting.

It seems these dull dyes go into the furnace, come out red hot, cool down to transform into these shining marvels.

After we are done with all the cakes and bakes and other goodies by Aditi we come back to the topic.

So how do you figure out how it will look when it is done?

He says, Only with acquired skill, and lot experience, you can actually visualize what it will look like.

You cannot predict easily, most dyes totally change colour when they come out of the heat.

Same with people.

Little bit of heat brings out the true colour and brilliance.

And you need loads of experience to be a good judge.

 

Apercevoir

Apercevoir: Random thoughts on a Saturday morning...:

"Most people are extremely wonderful.
The others aren't worth it."

Dachau

Sunday Evening.

Friend comes back from Germany with a bottle of Mexican Tequila.

After the second shot, cutting another lemon I ask “How come you never visited all the places in Germany. Any historical place I mean.”

“Well we were supposed to go see the Dachau Concentration Camp place but then too much work. Stayed back in office, check out these snaps”

We down three more shots each after that.

Who cares if its working day tomorrow!!!

Diggers

My favorite place for lunch used to be the last table next to the window.

There we used to sit and watch these people digging the road and the Autos and the Buses.

The diggers and the drivers synchronizing their efforts to produce maximum interruption of traffic on Langford Road and of course entertainment for us.

They would dig dig dig all the time.

Start digging from this end and before they reached the other end, started digging again from this end.

It looked so foolish.

And the worst part was that they would take to digging right in the middle of the day.

When the sun was at its worst. I am sure that kind of exposure to sun would cause some kind of permanent brain damage.

I wanted to say “Hey!!! Go sit in the shade now. You can come back and work in the evening”

I was so obsessed with watching them I would go for coffee alone, sit facing the window and watch them till they wound up for the day.

Then I thought…

What would the diggers think of people in the prime of their lives, working for ten years on the same product, sitting, staring at a tube for hours, back towards the remaining human population in the room, no physical activity, nothing to go home to, except for may be another tube.

Why they never stood there looking at me.

Realized that the glass of my building is opaque from the outside and went back to work.

Dressage

Maribashetti triumphs - Deccan Herald:
"Slash had a field day as first Aviva Bidappa and then Hrishika Basappa rode it to victory"

I once asked Charan how many years it would take for me to be good enough to participate in a Dressage.
He said "At this rate about twenty".
And I was supposed to be good with horses.

At least Slash won

Antaragni 2

Met Raghu for the second time on Friday.

My first live performance by Antaragni.

Though the band was irritated with the totally drunk, mob of an audience, it was fantastic.

ELECTIFYING is the word.

The most striking thing (Apart from the drummer in tiger vest and lungi) was the fact the, for the person who actually wrote Cocaine, Raghu is an extremely happy performer.

And he is the guy who also wrote “Mysore se aayi” the song that’s going to make him big, commercially.

But then I have been wrong about so many people, you better see the video on TV before you go out and buy the CDs.

(Expected to be out by year end)

I also wonder,

What’s with my office that that this guy actually sat and wrote and composed all these songs sitting right here in this building?
