Chili has elaborated on the trip in his blog.

The world is too small and the life is too short.

Canarabank colony

This is where I stay. And I owe this blog for a long time for all the awesome fridays and saturdays I have had since I came here.
For those people who do not know about canarabank colony, this is a small colony situated on a top of a hill close to University campus. It is a calm place with every house (except ours) having 2 coconut trees. It has a fantasic temple. It has close to 20 people of our age and most of the older people are retired. In road number 3, everyone know me and I know more or less everyone.

Coming to the group that we are... Everyone in here has diffenrent vocational interests and academic backgrouds, yet everyone meets up on friday evenings to share the little essential of life called happiness. There is no room for feeling sad. An all guys group and mostly all single, we all look forward to fridays. People come, people go, they come back! I was out of this for 15 months (on and off) when I was onsite. This has changed nothing. Everyone still meets up, share a couple of drinks, enjoy the music, the food and the company.

I can trade anything in life for this lifestyle. During the 40 days of shabarimala, this is one of the things I miss the most - meeting up with you guys!!

There are others in the group who do not belong to the Canarabank colony. Without them too, the fridays seems dull.

I am sure none of the CB colony guys read my blog., yet this is a dedication to them and for all the good times. Rajendra Pai is going onsite. I wish he comes back, sooner or later.
The disheartening part is, there are other people too who would, in the course of 6 months, would go to different parts of the world and the group might disintegrate.

God forbid such a day!!

Buddhism - Itseems.

All beings and events, by their very nature are inconceivable and therefore unapproachable, ungraspable, unfindable, unrepresentable. Thus the awakened bodhisattva manifests spontaneously the transcendent insight known as not grasping any separate thing - the omniscient insight which is limitless, unwavering, sublime. This panoramic awakeness transcends even the widest vision of any contemplative practitioner who remains subtly self-conscious and self-involved.

The absence of the substantial creation of any form is not different from the radiantly transparent, harmonious and coherent functioning of all forms. Thus absolute openness and relative functioning are not divided. They are not two alternative dimensions, but utter simplicity. If one labels and thereby experiences this expansive simplicity as material form and personal consciousness, one is foolishly numbering and labeling that which has no multiplicity and no identity.

I certainly dont understand buddhism. It is, by its very nature, inconceivable, ununderstandable and incomprehendable. Thus a human mind manifests spontaniously -!@#$!@#$@#%@#!@$!@#$!#$!@!@#$!@#$

psycho-musical disorder

When you listen to a song, there are times when it gets stuck in your head. Do what you can; it is just not possible to pull it out of your mind. You involuntarily hum the song. You hum it aloud and hum it in your mind. You enjoy it for a couple of days, but then it gets beyond control when your mouth starts aching and you have a terrible headache. You can’t do anything about it except wait for the song to fade away from your memory.

Do you suffer from this psycho-musical disorder?
