Trip to Palaruvi Waterfalls in Kerala

Personal

Just came back from another memorable trip to Kerala. The trip was oriented towards visits to a few temples and religious places. In the otherwise hectic schedule, we were able to take some time out to visit the Palaruvi waterfalls near Kollam. This is a tourist destination and is about 75 Kms South of Kollam District.

Norway Spiral Light – Another UFO news

News

It seems the inquisitiveness towards the presence of aliens will never die for any human being. the latest in the addition was the “norway spiral light” as it is being called. It was some kind of a spiral light in the sky. Theories and inferences were many but the actual reason for this light is still unclear.

On Tuesday night, the Norway sky filled with a spiral rotating light that some residents said was as big as the moon. The light stops, then spins into a spiral at a quick pace, and lasted 10-12 minutes before disappearing. No one seems to have the answer as to what it is.

Tweeting tips – My new blog

Personal

My latest blog is a dream that I cherished. I was so fascinated by the world of Twitter that I had always wanted to write about it. Twitter was a wonder-website for me. I was one of the early sign-ups to Twitter and was wondering as to how will this new social marketing tool is going to beat the competition out of other tools like the Facebook and Orkut.

But defying all odds, Twitter rose like a colossus beating the competition out of everything and everyone. I was disappointed not to have used this to my benefit because I was always sitting on the fence, unable to decide if this phenomenon is going to work. So I preferred using a Facebook, or a Linked In instead of Twitter.

WordPress Wizard – Learning WordPress easily

Blogging

Wordpress WizardWordPress is the best blogging platform that I have ever seen and used. I became a fan of WordPress since the day I first used it to host my first blog at http://liveajoke.wordpress.com.

I fell in love with WordPress, so much so that I immediately knew that this was a powerful tool that I could put to use to create a range of websites and blogs. Today I author about 8 different blogs that are powered by WordPress and I also run numerous minisites on WordPress.

But, is WordPress that easy to install and maintain?

I was fined for Speeding

I was fined for Speeding

I was on my way back to home from office. I had never ever driven my car at anything above 60 KMPH and this is the speed at which I was driving that day also.

As I drove around a steep curve, I saw an interceptor in the way. I kept driving because I knew I was not overspeeding and you had to fear an interceptor only if you are over-speeding.

As I neared the interceptor, a police constable walked into the middle of the road and waved me to park the car to the road side. I was surprised. I parked my car and rolled my window down. I asked him what the problem was.

Michael Jackson’s Hair on fire Video

News

This is a previously unreleased footage of the incident that started the downfall of Michael Jackson. Jacko was so seriously injured in this accident that he just could not recover. Multiple surgeries in order to regain his appearance, followed by a spate of pain-killers destroyed a career that was at the peak when this incident happened.

A Tribute to Michael Jackson

Celebrities


Michael Jackson moonwalked into history a few days back and with him we lost one of the legend of the century. Whatever the conspiracy or, mystery surrounding his death, I know just one thing – my kids would not have an idol to worship when it comes to music.

I still cannot forget the days when I used to come back from school and would throw my bag onto the bed and switch on my tape-recorder to play the “Just beat it” hit of Jacko. His posters were all over in my room. Those were my early days into music. His foot movements and his pelvic thrusts were things that I would want to imitate but were hard to come by.

I Joined PETA..

I received this forwarded email a couple of days back. As my habit is, I would have just deleted the email, just because it had a “Fwd:” in the subject and I knew it was one of those chain emails that I hate to spend time reading. Just that one word in the subject caught my attention and I opened the email. The word was “PETA”. I knew it would be carrying some information.

My Favorite Poems

Ode to the West Wind

This is one of the best poems written by P.B.Shelley. His description of the nature and the evening in this poem is beautiful.’, ‘

I

O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn”s being,
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,

Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed

The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low,
Each like a corpse within its grave, until
Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow

My Favorite Poems

On a Poet’s Lips I Slept

P.B.Shelley has been one of my alltime favorite poets. His poems carried a touching meaning in it and was an easy read and understand. “On a Poet”s Lips I Slept” he talks about how a poet gives birth to his creations from nothing.’, ‘On a poet”s lips I slept
Dreaming like a love-adept
In the sound his breathing kept;
Nor seeks nor finds he mortal blisses,
But feeds on the aerial kisses
Of shapes that haunt thought”s wildernesses.
He will watch from dawn to gloom
The lake-reflected sun illume
The yellow bees in the ivy-bloom,
Nor heed nor see what things they be;
But from these create he can
Forms more real than living man,
Nurslings of immortality!
One of these awakened me,
And I sped to succour thee.

Nostalgia

An Onam in Kerala

It was 12th of September 2008. A day I can never forget. I was born a Keralite but had always lived in North India since birth. My upbringing was in various parts of North India and it is not uncommon for people from a state migrating to a different state in search of jobs, to forget their hometown and the culture that their basic caste followed and practiced. It was not different with me either, and I knew my culture only to the extent it was practiced in my house. Though my parents ensured that they inculcate all of these into me, we often found that we had to compromise on lot of things because something that was practiced in our culture was done differently in the culture that I was living in. But no regrets, because I feel that is where diversity comes in and diversity is what we Indians are know for.

The Companionship of the Music Box

As I spent my summer vacation this time in my native home, I was digging through the many wealth in the store room of the house to find things that were of my interest. I suddenly stumbled upon a huge box of the size of about 2 feet. As I cleaned the dust of it, I discovered that it was a radio. I couldn’t have left it there because the memories attached with that radio was much more that with anything else that I could find.
