Ahem. I would, first of all, like to apologize for my behavior over the weekend. I'm sure it had something to do with that tea. Rest assured, I would never behave in such a way under normal circumstances... Second of all, since the madness seems to have stopped , anyone I catch trying to take advantage of the weekend's confusion will be presented to their Head of House for punishment. That is all

Spent my day digging through memories in the mud. Not my memories... Some unfortunate person whose household full of things washed through my yard, their memories. Antique glasses, plates, jars, baubles, figurines, picture frames and more, every item caked with mud, buried in the dirt. Sad to see. I'm blessed to not have lost the same.

Mom came home from the mandatory (if able) meeting of all the employees at GISD with the information that GISD has issued the following ultimatum: All employees will return to work on Monday, October 6th...32 in two weeks and it is time I get out and find a life of my own. This may have been nature's way of kicking me out of the nest. It's time to be on my own perhaps. But where do I go from here? *sigh

I finally have internet again for what... uhm... 4 months I think so I'm going to clean-up my LJ and delete a bunch of old stuff in here. yay for tidiness!

Sandeep, Anush and I went in Karthik's jeep as Sandeep...as I should have. And yes, it did prevent me from looking for birds..I didn't shoot a single one, can you imagine that? We did, however, spot two MALABAR GREY HORNBILLS as we drove towards Bheemeshwari

But here's a pic of a flutterby that I got after I had finished documenting the event: I think that's a Chocolate Pansy, but (of course) I am not sure

Do you want a Reebok product,but lack the money for the brand, and yet want to flaunt something that will impress your (somewhat short-sighted) friends> These were being sold at a stall in Sangama...is making me tired, and I am busily posting lots of photos from the Kanakapura/Galibore and the Devarayanadurga trips to the net...will get around to the posts....oh me, I don't like a busy life...

*is up on the roof trying to fix it. He's visited his pizzeria and it's a mess. He's pissed about that and having to fix the roof so he's bitching at his journal. You can hear him hammering in the background*...leakin'. I got another roof ta fix and an entire restaurant ta clean. Fuckin' weather. Fuckin' Malnosso bastards. (You can fill in more cursing here. It gets rather creative, descriptive and nasty.

Here's my account of the Clean and Green presentation for WIPRO (does anyone remember that they were once Western India vegetable PROducts, and once sold vanaspati?)... "The very nature of voluntary work...Main Gate for Sandhya to come and pick us up, I took this not-too heartening picture of the surroundings.... So..I am looking forward to the next meeting and the next cleanup, this time with Wipro
