Falls down slowly,
seeps into the ground
isn’t just flowing water,
won’t stop until your brain is found….

Acid…..Acid Rain…..

Such was my state of mind, when I quit blogging. One thing after another kept smashing into me like a hurricane. Things aren’t normal even now, but now I know, the only way to become normal is to try to “be normal”. And what’s better than a new home to rejuvenate you. So, here it is. My shiny, flowery, and over-all feel-good blawg is back for your bouquets and brick-bats. Most of the things have been migrated from my old blog http://iamhuman.blogspot.com minus a few paining posts, plus not all the posts are tagged, categorized yet. Will do that gradually. Blogs shall be added back to the blogroll after some cutting-shutting. The theme is also be polished around the corners. Just getting the hang of this cool thing-a-magic that wordpress is.

Not just this, I’ve also given shape to an old desire – to have my own tech blog. Head over to My Technophilic Musings.
Thats it for today. Hope to see you back here soon.

This holi was one of the ebst ever for me…Why? cuz I spent it on the banks of ganga in rishikesh. It was an eventful weekend as we (around 30 ppl in all) celebrated an extended holi with white water rafting (2 sessions of 28 km and 24 km respectively), body surfing, cliff jumping, mountain climbing, rappling, kayaking, beach volley ball, etc…
The rafting part was especially adrenalin pumping. It was just an amazing experience as we passed over thrilling rapids like “The Wall”, “Daniel’s dip”, “3 Blind Mice”, “Crossfire”, etc…And when are boat filpped over the crossfire and I went under the water for about 5 seconds in the raging rapid, it was one hell of a feeling…..it seemed as if I had spent an eternity coming towards the light….
Most of the time we all were body surfing in the water instead of being on the raft…
I also climbed a mountain and though I didnt feel it at the time, my hands were shaking when I came down finally and I just coudn’t move my forearms, such was the stress that one had to put on the fore arms…
And the standing under the waterfall was so kewl, it felt like someone was massaging my back and head (albeit with hammers instead of hands)…
All in all, it was one great trip….
Neways, enuff abt the trip, I’ve my visa interview tomorrow, so wish me luck….
