Meanwhile, over *there* ...

A quite interesting quiz about nothing in particular.

Three new poems by Arvind ( this, this, and this).

Part 2 of Arvind's story "Vladimir" (part 1 is here)

Cheers.

That is just an absolutely beautiful picture of the leaf. I dont' think I have ever come across that tree in India. Was the photo taken with a digital camera. I love how you got the leaf to be focussed and the background to be blurred.
Photography! Maybe some thing else to consider pursuing during your sabattical :-)

Thank you !! I appreciate all your interest in the website and the blogging, you've been very supportive.
Yes it was a digital camera. I didn't take any special effort, just took the photo and it came out great.

Best,
Babu

Just make sure you remember all of that when you make it big one day :-).
Couple of questions on your blog?
1. You have titled it "despoki" and have not said anywhere in your blog why so? I know why vaguely but wouldn't anyone visiting your blog wonder about that in the first place?
2. I post on another forum where they have all these cute emoticons for smile, laugh, winking, anger etc etc.
Does it cost more to use those on yours? Trivial, I know but just wondering

I'm heading off towards pennilessness and you are saying 'make it big' :-)

Re despoki -- well, sometimes a little bit of mystery is nice no ? I knew a poster who always signed as 'ov', though it had no relation to his name. People were always intrigued.

And for the last question -- I'm kindof old-school. Don't get much into fancy smileys. :-) and :-( is pretty much what I need.
