I saw this picture when I was browsing in the net. After that I desided I will never waste food what ever be the taste of it. And how previlaged I am and thank god for it.

Davinci Code

Leonardo Davinci -MonaLisa

Davinci code- I recently reread the book and still I could not keep the book down after reading through the first few pages .Unfortunately I have not seen the movie based on the book. This book made me look at the painting from a different angle. Earlier I had not noticed in detail what is there in the back ground or the difference in levels or the bridge in the painting.

I didn’t know any thing about Holi Grail before I read the book. Now after I read it and checked on the painting “The Last supper”. The Apostle John actually has feminine looks and is wearing inverted colour dress than that of jesus (Red & Blue) .There is a clear “V” between both of them. And there is no holi gail in the painting

Before this one the stories which gave different version of history and I actually believed that it must have happened that way was a “Malayalam” movie by name “Oru vadakan veeragatha”. Then again the book on Taj Mahal and its history by Mr Oak. Here he says Taj as captured and converted by Shahjahan.

What a shame to the name of the organization.” Satyam” becoming “Asatyam”. Unfortunately I also bought some shares of the company thinking that this is not going to fall. Falsifying the financial statement of a company listed in the stock market should be treated at par with a criminal offence. You are playing with some else money.

It is not possible that the audit firm did not get the whim of the gaping holes in the system. All are equal partners in the crime. Is the end of India’s IT bubble? Hope it is not .And on top of it the person who is responsible for it Mr Ramalingam is absconding. Nobody knows where he is? This happens only in India. I just hope they ban the Audit firm.
What about the employees .In this time of recession will they be able to find another one. I just hope that they will. And also hope this episode will not create a chain reaction of sort and many more skeletons come tumbling out of cupboard

A year gone by

So much happened in the year I don’t know what to comment upon. It brought to us despair and hope. The major events are

Ø The economic down fall –Directly or indirectly it has affected all. But it has been a blessing in disguise for some. The fuel prices have come down. Realty sector have started looking “Real”.
Ø The Mumbai terror attack- It brought to us the gaping holes in the system. The unprepared ness was visible. For a change the people were not ready to accept it.
Ø Successful Chandrayan launch. India’s first unmanned mission to moon.
Ø Nano is launched. TATAs one lakh car.
Ø US to get the First African American President.
Ø India gets a gold medal at Olympics.


I spent the exact time of the beginning of New Year running after my son who suddenly decided that he needs to dance on the adult dance floor rather than the children’s area .And rest of the evening (night) was spend in getting the two kids to sit at a table and have their dinner. By the time things wound up it was 2 ‘O’ clock. So now I know the whole year ahead is going to be this way.

As usual I also have made some resolutions. This year again it is to loose some weight. Every year I decide the same and at the end of it the” net gain” is more than what was expected. I wish my savings portfolio follow my weight route. I will definitely improve my cooking. After my sisters visit to our place my husband has not stopped nagging about my cooking capabilities. He now doesn’t listen to my excuse that since I am working I don’t have time for trying out new dishes. He says your sis is also working but she manages to do it.


HAPPY NEW YEAR
