Things to come

I was contemplating better things ahead when I fell asleep and woke to the dream of me in a bear suit chasing a girl (accompanied by her boyfriend) in a dimly-lit NY park. God knows what that hints towards.

Did make some changes at my other blog - cms upgrade, reinstalling the skin files, some no-very-visible css changes - and hope to resurrect it. There were some visible and some back-end changes to the little set of scripts I had written back in March as a tool for publishing all my future trips. Its live and working, take a look. The gallery for the Leh trip is up; just needs approval from my side to be made public - which will be within the next 12 hours. Sample some of our earlier galleries in the meantime if you've got some time.

And while the immediate world around me is in the clutches of GRE, I've got no such ambitious plans for the future. I'll be leaving for Lucknow today. I intend to visit Kukrail, the famous Crocodile and Gharial (Fresh Water Crocodile) farm, but it would surely be bunked for the lack of any company. I plan to catch up on AS 3 in the time I'm there. The Leh trip does not die this fast.

I think they're shutting it down

They must be closing down the internet - one website at a time. That explains my increasing 404s to some of the websites. Seems that they took Elton John's request quite seriously.
Great Success!

I hope they wait a while. I was in the process of finishing my image gallery for the Leh trip. Everything's uploaded. I am working on the photograph descriptions now; they play a large part in bringing a coherency to the photo album. It'll be up soon. Until then, you can glance over at the existing saos.org {ego}trips. I phased in the new cms without any fuss. I hope I get some reviews. Yes, that means you contacting back if you like it or not.

JAI HIND!

Happy Independence Day to all the Indians out there.
India turns 60 as a free country.
A free country
I am 20+ and yet to score. Please puncture my wind pipe.

And here's something for you
You were born a free man/woman and have remained so throughout your life. What have you done this far?
Does the freedom give you any greater cause?
Or was the suppression the cause for display of strong character?

Better be under exploitation? That did give us better leaders and literature.
