No comments! And back!
This annoying MT comments spam problem is killing me! So until I can figure out how to install the MT Blacklist program, I’ve closed off my comments. I am available on email (if you look hard enough on the right hand side, you should find it somewhere)… Update: Have installed Jay Allen’s Blacklist and deleted […]
The art of being absent minded
Don’t you just hate it when you travel a long distance, arrive and then realise you forgot the most important thing you had to bring? It happened to me today. The Kodak Advantix roll that I use for my camera can only be developed at a few photo labs in the city. One of them is […]

Spent a pleasant afternoon roaming around the Fort Kochi […]

And of course, the shop vendors try their best to attract your attention and get you inside. It was fitting therefore to begin the morning with […]
The scenic route to Thekkady
Hail the Lord. No mobile network, but a decent Internet connection here in the little town of Kumily, Thekkady. Much better than the painfully slow connection at Alleppey. And we got charged at Rs 75 an hour! Enjoyed the drive from Alleppey to Thekkady yesterday. It was an extremely scenic and pleasant route as the car […]
