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.)

Hey, hey, you don't expect that sh***y rag to both write good English AND do credible journalism, do you?

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 .

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"?

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.

Iz, I shall immediately post and post on that blog! (Like, in the next year or so) Many thanks.

Progga, the ToI is such easy meat.
