Brown Headed Gulls
Brown Headed Gulls. What a headache they had given me... not while I clicked them here, boating in Sangam at Maha-Kumbh of Allahabad. Actually, when I wanted to zero down on the particular species, every possible source kept telling me that they are brown-headed gulls. My problem was that my old clicks had no brown-heads and that goes against the common sense as well as against the naming convention of species.
After hours of search and studying many sources, I discovered that the breeding plumage makes the male head brown in an otherwise similar male and female color-scheme. What a relief that was. Now notice that the brown-headed one is a male, surrounded by two females. What luck!

3 years...
3 years to the day of my Thesis Seminar at IIMA...
These were the stickers on my desk in the FPM Lab, implying:
1. Not to disturb if I am asleep
2. except when it is a matter of food
3. as I am completely free from all the duties!
Alas! All the things come to an end
and all the good things
come to an end much too soon.

Football Philosophy with Vince Lombardi
A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall.
Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial,
hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.
People who work together will win,
whether it be against complex football defenses,
or the problems of modern society.

The Snail Philosophy
Time sometimes flies like a bird
sometimes crawls like a snail
but a man is happiest
when he does not even notice
whether it passes swiftly or slowly
- Ivan Turgenev
The spiral in a snail's shell is the same mathematically
as the spiral in the Milky Way galaxy
and it's also the same mathematically
as the spirals in our DNA.
It's the same ratio that you'll find
in very basic music
that transcends cultures all over the world.
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Pondering over Elephant
God is really only another artist.
He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat.
He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things.
Keep five yards from a carriage,
ten yards from a horse,
and a hundred yards from an elephant;
but the distance one should keep from a wicked man
cannot be measured.

कुम्हार अकेला शख्स होता है
कुम्हार अकेला शख्स होता है
जो पैदल-पुलिस के साथ
शिकारी कुत्तों की भीड़ देखकर
न तो बौखलाता है
न ही उत्तेजित होता है
हालांकि उसको पता है
उसके बनाए बर्तन
खिलौने कैमरामैन पुरुष-समूह
अंतरिक्षयात्री
अबाबील व दूसरी चिड़िया
सब-सब
मौके की तलाश में हैं
किसी अन्य ग्रह पर चले जाने के लिए
कुम्हार अकेला शख्स होता है
जो नेपथ्य में बैठी उद्घोषिका से कहता है
हम मिट्टी से और मिट्टी के रंगवाली
पृथ्वी से प्रेम करते रहेंगे ।
