Music:	The Divine Comedy.

I know you've tried
I know you've cried
I know you've died a little inside, but...

Baby you could be famous

You could see your marble face all around
Baby you could be famous
If you could just get out of this town
Just get out of this town now

Baby you could be famous
You could sell the world a new look and sound
Baby you could be famous
If you could just get out of this town
Just get out of this town now

You sold your soul to rock 'n' roll
Gave up control
But here's your loophole:

You are the queen of every scene
You are the king of everything

Subject:	in motion!
Time:	9:32 pm.
Mood:	calm.
Music:	thumri: Baajuband khola khola jai.

Captured in motion, and slotted into a photo frame. Beautiful it might be, is still not home. Suddenly the thought of moving has brought back new ideas, expressions, anxieties. Nothing to look back, apart from some stair-case conversations, few droplets of rain, pinch of madness and pink earrings. Did I miss that baajuband, oh yes that too. As beautiful as the soft shoulder of wearer, who left it.

Subject:	Blogging, is it the mammoth killer
Time:	10:44 pm.

Few weeks back JAM, Mumbai based magazine carried a article examining the claims in the ads of IIPM. Few bloggers syndicated the article. Recently they have been issued notice by IIPM legal cell.

What makes the whole issue funny, is the shoddy way in which these institutes deal with online media, where they are masters of offline.

So do we finally have the disruptive technology in sphere of media. Breaking the hegemony of media conglomerates. Or we are just pawns for bigger online mammoths to come. Only time can tell.

Do read Guarav's post on the issue.

Every conversation with a friend, leaves me with curiosity to know more. Hebbar Iyengar, a small community of brahmins in south of India who speak a mix of Kannada, Tamil and Sanskrit. Some peculiar customs, some familiarity of face structure. There origins, how they relate to Ramanujam and Visishtadvaita, is Publius Enigma left to solve.
