Random thoughts

1) It's become a ritual of sorts for me to tune into FM as I drive to my lab and back ! The MJs do a fabulous job, and sometimes I even end up wishing the drive had been longer, though its no fun driving in Blore traffic !:) And its fun to sing along too with no one within hearing range :-)

2) I've been using the gmail calendar for the last few months, and now I'm surprised I waited so long to start using it ! I guess that's partly cos I'm suspicious of all these million apps floating around that I can manage perfectly well without !  But the calendar is cool ! If you didn't already  know, you can configure it to send sms or email reminders for free . I think its also very good for things like reminding you to renew your driving license ten years from now :P

3) The weather in Bangalore, and particularly on campus, is very pleasant these days, and I head out on a long walk now and then just for fun :-)

4) A malapropism I overheard recently - " My brother studies in an anonymous school "!! :-) He meant autonomous of course !

I once read awed as a wed and matted as mated. Embarrassing.

Google Calender is especially awesome when you schedule stuff way ahead of time.

Oh and the wrong reading was embarrassing because I was reading for an audience (mike and all).

Many calendar users here !
Rafiki - That must've been embarrassing ! I'm sure I too would've done such things but can't recall them right now :-)

Yes, behind the wheel is my second fav singing spot, the first undebatably being the shower :-)

I am vicariously enjoying your campus, in this one and also in the one before, where you talked about the rainy days.

Ha ha ! I only sing when I'm behind the wheel :-) The campus is a beautiful place:-)
