No, that doesn't mean 50 medals, it means India's position in the medal tally in the Olympics is 50! I just read Prem's entry about this.... That reminds me of one more anecdote about my brother. The unfailingly happy boy brought home a very bad report card. One being asked why he had such low marks, he said, "But see here! I have a very high rank!" (He was 25th out of 27 children!) It was late...
I am not kidding, people are taking a comprehensive exam on this topic: 29th July 2008: Comprehensive Exam: Molecular Ecology of thePrimitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia marginata: Metapopulation Structure,Genetic Relatedness and Queen Succession And here I am, leading a blithe life...does eusocial mean being friendly in all the European countries? This post is for you, premkudva . I don't...
I made a comment on premkudva 's post without logging in, and later apologized. Prem's response to this was, "But I recognized your handwriting!" I very often hear laments about snail mail, and the art of letter-writing, having lapsed in the electronic era. "There is nothing like a hand-written letter," goes the grouse. "You don't get a sense of the individual." I disagree. I may not see...
premkudva 's post says, "the news of the delayed commercial launch of the Airbus A380, which resulted in cancellations" They should stop going to Tolouse (to louse?), France, and come to good old Bengaluru....NO delays, we are making frequent commercial trips... Send the airlines along here, Prem!
One of the fauna that kept us endlessly entertained at Devarayanadurga was the Bonnet Macaque, which we call the common monkey.... We started by seeing them with their fur aglow in the early morning light.... Even a sleepy yawn looked beautiful: The males were really enjoying grooming, and being groomed by, each other. Just look at the stance of this guy...if that isn't enjoyment...

These stamps were issued in sheetlets of 16 stamps each. After the Panchatantra stamps these were probably the next best looking...
Entry on the LJ of premkudva Sharing Kavya knows about sharing. She will share your things:-) Other day I noticed she had two candies, one was in her mouth. The other she said was for Snehakka. Then in the evening both of them were upstairs in the library, when she came running down, enquiring about the sweet she had kept for her Snehakka. She located it, and brought a pair of scissors...
Me and rythm were having an argument about the Tata car here . I started replying but the comment got so long that I decided to post an entry. Thanks to premkudva for some of the links (although I'm not sure if he agrees with me on the subject). Look, I'm not "blaming" Tata for what this car is going to do (although I do find it dishonest that Ratan Tata calls the car a "tool...
