Quo Vadis ?

This where I am (other than being here), this September…

I am reading:

• Open Secrets – India’s Intelligence unveiled by Maloy Krishna Dhar
• Shotokan's secret – The hidden truth behind Karate's fighting origin by Dr.Bruce Clayton
  
• Too Loud, Too Bright, Too Fast, Too Tight by Sharon Heller

I am listening to:

• My wife, as always…
• Byrds, Kadri Gopalnath on the CD Changer (Turn, Turn, Turn – both lyrically and musically is just a great song)
• Old Tamil Songs, PF, Eagles, S&G in my car
• Bruce S, Enigma etc on the PC (if I ever get around to sit at my desk)

I am amused by:

• People who are amused that Lalu has been invited to IIM, having pigeon-hole’d him
• This picture joke that someone sent me
• How we argue D/L method is a useless one when India loses one on that

I am amazed by (or I'm humbled by):

• The creativity in the blog-land
• The complexity of creating a new business

I am frustrated by:

• Being part of Bangalore’s traffic problem – I’m going with the flow (eh ?)
  
• Having to temporarily suspend Karate due to injury and having to opt for poor substitute (running)
• The complexity of creating a new business

I am intrigued by and drawn to:

• The mysticism of oriental martial arts
  
• The economic opportunity in India
  
• The complexity of creating a new business

I am impressed by:

• New breed of Tamil directors who experiment themes that aren’t black and white and dwelve in wide spectrum of grey (saw பட்டியல், திருட்டு பையலே, தலைநகரம் recently)
• Vijay’s comic timing in கில்லி (reminded me of Rajni in தம்பிக்கு எந்த ஊரு)

I am still impressed by (continue to be):

• Dravid’s Technique and his level-headed approach
• Watching US Open and
Wimbledon, Federer’s brilliance, even when he is struggling (make that quadruple-y impressed)
