Happy Diwali

Well, A Diwali every year cant be all that happy. So I started to think of places where Diwali wont be that big. And as usual, I came up with Mcleodganj. I seem to think that McLeodganj is the place where everything is ok with the world. And thats where I will be, this Diwali, and alone at that. Maybe, I will get some good pics and since Subodh wont give me his EOS any longer, its back to scanning pics taken with my old faithful OM-1 SLR.
But to keep everyone enetertained and piqued, some pictures that I took over the past couple of days.
I must also place on record, the fresh whiff of air that has recently blown through the department and has dusted off most dusty brains. May the good times roll yet.....


Our very own Sydney and Swapnil, I wished this would have been a much better pic, certainly as good as it deserved to be. Maybe I will ask them both to pose when I am better prepared.


I love this picture...just that ...enough said. I could probably write a story just looking at it. I love Chicken, though I dont eat em any longer.


Locomotion: I generally dislike taking pictures like this, but as I was getting my cycle repaired I saw this scene unfold and I knew that this was a picture waiting to be taken. There are so many modes of transport here.

A funny cartoon I came across while looking for stuff for my genetics of addiction seminar. What a drag, what a field day.

Because I wont be here this weekend, the next edition of heights of similarity, book cover will have to wait for some time. And to all those so inclined, Happy Diwali.

Election Results

The ARD elections are over and I must admit, to my surprise we lost. However, I suppose what cannot be cured has to be endured. So, best of luck to those who made it.

The loser's bench


Will post some other pictures tomorrow. Rather tired tonight.
However, another picture taken at a rock show attended tonight, featuring Parikrama.

Elections ARD

The ARD elections are around the corner, the perfidious panels are back in full force. Me, I am in a dilemma. What way should I go. Anyways, some pics from the going ons today. Plus the speed of the pic upload is so sucky tonite that I almost did not do this.

The two panels meet while campaigning...dont go by the smiles. Daggers drawn...fight to the finish.

Me and that's the horns of the dilemma...



Let this be a fair fight.....may the best man win...
