All Or None

This is one awesome song.

The power connection in my room was out the last 2 days, so not much activity online. Instead, I played a little squash, some tennis, disgusted myself over billiards, read a little Vonnegut, and generally lounged.

Last night, and I had a visitor in the tree right outside our rooms — a Common Hoopoe (the Wikipedia entry reminded me that I’d seen one of these in Haroun and the Sea of Stories). The little guy fell asleep somewhere amidst our boring photography session.

Closer look at the Hoopoe

    Say it in pure Sanskrit boss…Pakshi Guru! Oh, what a nice name for Sainath!! When we went to Mydenahalli when he was here, the others ( and ) created a gf (obviously she had to be from LJ) for him, christened her, gave her attributes…ask him about “Sarita” ! ;-)

    He blushes when you ask him. And then laughs self-consciously. Interesting … :D

    All these birdies are only found in remote corners, not in big city. Big city has other kind of birdies. :P
