Good karma of the day

Managed to rescue a baby kite, fed egg with a ink dropper. The prospects are not
good. Wildlife rescue guys will pick him up later in the day.
[Update] WRRC (http://www.wrrcbangalore.org/) Bangalore rescued this guy. He is a tad beat up but he is gonna be okay! Hope he grows up into a fine fella. :)

Herzog brings 20,000-year-old art to life

CNN news item...

Oh what I would not give to go to this cave and admire the paintings but I think it makes so much sense to not make it a tourist destination and ruin it. If I get a chance I intend to watch the 3D movie.

Don't you think it is fascinating to think that 20,000 years back a bunch of guys might have decided on a lazy afternoon to draw something without having a clue that 20,000 years later it would have an audience.

Who is dead again? (Thanks Vinay!) :)

Came across a funny tweet

"I can now reassure the world that Osama Bin Laden is NOT hiding in Pakistan now" :)

Osama is dead

Just heard that Osama Bin Laden is dead in a CIA op. When I passed this information to my friend the first thing she asked was "So, is terrorism over or this is the beginning?". I truly hope this is the end of terrorism that has plagued the world for the past decade or so. Way too many innocents have lost their lives in this madness. I personally don't consider any issue (religious, political, idealogical etc) worth killing women and children.

iMac

I happened to visit Apple store yesterday. It truly is an exciting experience to see the wonderful gadgets. I lovingly eyed the iMac. I wished I had the money to plonk down and buy one right away and take it home. I suspect my wife would have me spayed if I did have the money and ended up buying this baby! ;)

The specs I liked is below but at Rs. 1.25 lacs it is hopelessly beyond reach for me.
