North and South

Travelling. Its an exciting thing, I was thinking how far north or how far south on the earths surface I have travelled so far. I don't care about East - West travel, because in my opinion East and West are relative directions, whereas for North and South, it is possible to reach a point from where everything else is South, or a point from where everything else is North. It's like Mt. Everst, from where everything else is downhill.

In my life I have managed to not touch the southern hemisphere at all, I had got this opportunity of crossing the equator to see the land 'down under', however that opportunity seems to have shatterred for the time being.

As it stands today,
the Northernmost point on the earth that I have been to is Inverness in Scotland, UK and
the Southernmost point on the earht that I have been to is Madurai, India.

Puneri Patya (boards in pune)

Pune is famous for its sign boards. Here are a few examples of the 'typical' signboards that can be found (only) in Pune.

And this one is the most brilliant....

Note : I had received these images in email, they are not mine. I am thankful to whoever has captured /created these images. I am putting it here only for everybody's amusement.

Tidying up the desk

I walked into the office today and had a little look at my desk from a third person point of view. All I could see was mess. I decided to tidy up my desk so that I can mess it up again :o

Here are the before and after pictures for you to spot the differences. (The webcam appearing on top of the screen has nothing to do with tidying up business)
