The moon is down

A telecope , a friend and some crazy wee morning hours ....

On graduation

This day relenting God
Hath placed within my hand
A wondrous thing; and God
Be praised. At his command,

Seeking the secret pictures
With toil and shedding tears,
I find thy cunning structures,
O plasma pervading the equator.

I know this little ending
A myriad hours has brought,
O Defense, where is thy sting?
Thy victory, O phoebe?

post-latex reading

Here I am reading my previous blogs and all that screams out is the misplaced/missing spacing between words. Its funny how latexing affects the way u read, atleast temporarily.

Try it out,its fun!

Am finally updating my blog, because I NEEDED to post this in somewhere personal. So I am finding million ways to postpone writing my thesis and am coming up with better excuses each day. Today,I chanced upon a great tool by google, SketchUp (http://sketchup.google.com/). It's probably been around for quite a while but i chanced on it only when i found some amazing 3 d models at http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ , decided to give it a try, this is my piece of art here ,
For those who don't know, this is a traditional game known by different names in different parts of India -called Pallankuzhi in tamilnadu. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallankuzhi). I tried to copy this one from a picture on google image :) (http://www.boloji.com/environment/49.jpg) .

Bottomline: Google SketchUp is fun, thesis writing is not!
