The festival of lights and colors

This was how Deepawali was this time too. Lots of people, fun, food (yeah, yeah! :-p), lights and colors. :-)

Visited the Innovative Film City near Bidadi. General timepass place, very expensive though. Liked the Ripley's Believe it or not Museum the best. Mirror Maze was fun too.

Tried my hands at Rangoli after a long long time too! :-)

After the evening prayers

The Rangoli ( a tad unsymmetrical) :-D

Weekend - The end or the start?

Got a forward in an official mailer list today.

This article is very old (August 91 - the page states), but is relevant even today!
It talks about work, leisure; how the week-end came to exist and how it evolved over time. Makes a very nice read, albeit lengthy.

Josh and I were talking on similar lines last weekend about this whole concept of doing 'something' (read going out, watching movies etc.) during weekends. I was for the cause , of course!
