looking back, pondering over good old days

"Books" -- I don't remember when they walked into my life. As far as I remember, I developed this hobby of reading when I was in my high school (or even before that ?). Till last month I was more in to reading of just prose - novels, short stories, dramas, essays. Just for a change I thought of reading poetry and my dad suggested me to read K. S. Nissar Ahmed. And to my luck I started with the very famous poem by him "KurigaLu saar kurigaLu" -- marvelous literature. Beginning is like this -- "kurigaLu saar kurigaLu saagiddE gurugaLu" - he gives the reader a feeling of 'teasing' oneself about one's existence and the way one earns his piece of bread. I can't explain beyond this (not an expert to comment on literature :o...) - If you can understand Kannada, don't miss it read it.

Few days back when I went home, I was having a chat with my dad and sister and I was hloding the camera. A one point my dad's silvery hairs shining in the light attracted me. I took this snap when he was lisetning to my sister and he was unaware when I too this snap.

Back to work after a very long break. This is my longest break from the work since I started working. For the past full 25 days - no computer, no e-mails, no internet, no question of sitting and staring at the dumb PC monitor -- that was great and I loved it. Came back yesterday after my sister's marriage. Back to the Alien World...
