This is so funny, I can totally relate to this. Some people just don't understand that you don't wanna hear them!

The song that introduced me to KoC. Feel the mighty music !!

This was loooong overdue. I always thought of posting something about the Ahmedabad traffic. Below is a slow motion video for the uninitiated, 'cause they'll die of a heart attack if they see a regular motion video. I've been driving a Kinetic Honda for 3 years in this city. The traffic was never good to begin with, and I've seen it getting worse in 3 years. It's not limited to speed demons on bikes. Regular people like you and me - they drive on the wrong side, honk like a wedding orchestra, drive zigzag on a straight road. Bicyclers ride parallel to each other instead of behind each other, blocking half the road. The helmet rule, which was supposed to be a boon, has turned into a hazard because Amdavadis believe that you're supposed to wear a helmet only when you approach a traffic signal, and take it off after you've moved ahead. Bikers and other 2-wheel drivers wear and remove their helmets while driving. A couple of number plates of speed demons - G...

It's amazing in how many places, and how many kinds of places you can find examples of Automatic writing. The best place to search is Google of course. But there are many hidden corners where you'll find the beast lurking. One place to check is your junk/spam mail folder. Yes, there is a risk of getting viruses, but if you are able to turn off the graphics the risk is greatly reduced. But the risk is still there. So if you are ready to take a slight risk, you can see some really amazing examples of automatic writing. Try opening spam mails with deliberately non-specific subject lines. The subject lines are also small examples of automatic writing that you actually won't recognize as automatic. You can safely skip the ones that change the spelling of their products to get throught the spam filter. Try it and let me know if you have any success in finding anything. Meanwhile I'll be checking my junk folder more often :)

I bought these 2 CDs on Sunday -

I couldn't find this photo on the net (I downloaded it from the net). So I just uploaded this from my computer and am using it in the profile. I just love this photo, coz it shows more of his wooly hat and beard than his face. Actually those are the things that are his trademarks. You won't recognize him if he was without his hat and shaved !! What more I like about the photo is the psychedelic feel to it. It is not very much like his music, but also not very unlike it. It has rich colours. I just think it's a great photo. I don't know whether it's a publicity still taken by a professional photographer or a casual one taken by an news photographer. It looks more like a professional one to me.
