Wondrous Daze: December 2012

http://wondrousdaze.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

As real as fantasy, as illusionary as reality. Monday, December 17, 2012. Readings: Ralph Waldo Emerson. After reading John Updike. S autobiography, I picked up a book from another. And author from Harvard (but I go rather backwards in time, Updike is fairly contemporary). Ralph Waldo Emerson's writings hint at an extraordinary lifetime of journal-keeping. You may have read his witticisms here and there (. For example, “Build a better mouse. And the world will find a path to your door”),. I usually do no...

Wondrous Daze: March 2013

http://wondrousdaze.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

As real as fantasy, as illusionary as reality. Saturday, March 30, 2013. Blooms that Signal End of Winters. January to March in Delhi. After several years. This deserves a post. The bark contains tannic acid, which is great for skin burns (not that I tried it). Then you have semul pillows from this silk-cotton tree (which are comfy, I testify). Anyhow, more about the trees below. Bet you've noticed the beautiful tree:. So, a bit later in the year they will have huge pod like fruits, which fall down with ...

Wondrous Daze: April 2013

http://wondrousdaze.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

As real as fantasy, as illusionary as reality. Saturday, April 06, 2013. Reflections on Attending a recent National Conference for Women Leaders. Natural Difference Exists in the Way Think or Are Conditioned to Think.So Let's Move on. I noticed, at unlike the conferences I 've attended before, the organisers made a conscious effort to have majority of women speakers ( yes, sometimes things have to be stated. What was discussed (in-short):. The key themes were around. Why should women be treated different...

Wondrous Daze: February 2013

http://wondrousdaze.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

As real as fantasy, as illusionary as reality. Saturday, February 23, 2013. The Fault in Our Stars: Book Review. So, just when I was getting lost in humdrum, I was rescued by the author John Green and Shakespeare (who wrote the philosophical underpinning of this book-. 8220;The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves”). However, what happens if that fault is not ours, but of a biological curse like cancer? There is angst, there is passion, excitement, and feeling of uncertainty in love...

Be the change you want to see" - Mahatma Gandhi. Istanbul - A trip to remember! Went to Istanbul last month as part of a dealers trip to turkey. Had a really great time. Just capturing some highlights of the same here. Day 2 - A day devoted to exploring Istanbul's ancient architecture. We drove to Sultanhamet (Old City) and learnt about the Roman and Ottoman empires that ruled. Went back by one hour from that night for daylight savings. Towels to biscuits to turkish delights(again! Which also happens to ...

Be the change you want to see" - Mahatma Gandhi. A time to celebrate, A time to get inspired. A twitter post I saw today went thus – “Just to put a perspective to the Indian Olympic performance - 6 medals from 1984-2008 and 6 in 2012”. Forward – PPP and other models are being discussed. All this might not translate into anything tangible but at least it’s a start. There are a lot of challenges there but this post is not about that. BTW, Mary is my new favorite sportsperson - Sorry Saina! L U and E. I hur...

Be the change you want to see" - Mahatma Gandhi. You know Valentine’s Day is near when. The normal stationery shop you visit is suddenly full of ‘You are the one for me’ cards and heart-shaped gifts. Your newspaper comes with special ‘love’ supplements. The news channels run breaking news as “One crore red roses sold in February”. Shopping malls run all sorts of Ms. And Mr. contests. A lot of (otherwise idle) bloggers write some silly post on it. 8221; “Yeah! Links to this post. The year that was. Since ...
