My last post here; the chronicles have shifted to wordpress, which is why I've not bothered to change the rather bizarre colour combo on this template :)
So à bientôt and see you at

About Me

A snake-charmer and his noseless wife,
snake in hand, walk carefully
trying to read omens for a son's wedding
but they meet head-on a noseless woman
and her snake-charming husband,
and cry "The omens are bad!"
His own wife has no nose;
there's a snake in his hand.
What shall I call such fools
who do not know themselves
and see only the others,
O lord of the meeting rivers!
(vacana by Basavanna. from Speaking of Siva translated by A.K Ramanujan)

I’d rather be a forest than a street,
I’d rather feel the earth beneath my feet.
Would I lay down my life to save my brother? No, but I would to save two brothers or eight cousins.
(J.B.S Haldane)

Le Jaberoque
Il brilgue: les tôves lubricilleux
Se gyrent en vrillant dans le guave,
Enmîmés sont les gouge bosqueux,
Et le mômerade hosgrave.
(French translation of Jabberwocky from the Annotated Alice)
