Monday blues on Tuesday afternoon


The Times of India reports (Sunday 26th August) that the Marwari Sabha felicitated Arvind Singh Mewar, the ancestor of Maharana Pratap. Longevity!

A search for Victoria Falls on Google Earth produces Victoria Falls, Georgia, USA. You thought the Middle Kingdom was a fantastic conceit?

And listening to the Moody Blues’ When the tide comes in while driving to office, on a cloudy morning with the breeze feathering the waters, is NOT a good idea. Puts paid to work. (Especially when I view this video and reminisce on a walk along that same route some years ago. Lousy version, though.)

  3. I noticed that too. What more do you expect from TOI? the sky's too much JAP. I look out of my 4th story office window and see wide swathe of vivid blue peppered with multicoloured rhombuses ( rhombi??) and I'm lost .

  6. This is when you need to ask, "boli ki, boyesh ta barti, na komti?"
    Did I tell you that I once woke up to TOI (Bangalore) headlines that proclaimed, "Marital Law Declared in East Timor"?

  7. Anansi, should we move on to 70s rock now?

    KM, I don't expect EITHER, actually

    Lungs, I was in Delhi. And grey.

    Opaline, you're blowing your cover.

    Mike, I'll pass.

    Progga, the ToI is such easy meat.
