Declaration

To Whomsoever It May Concern



This is an official declaration to state that I fail to understand women anymore. I cannot understand what they want, what they need, what they do not want and how to deal with them.

I fail to understand my sister, my mom and all other girls I know.

I would have liked to say I didn't care, but I do.

I'd like to say I can do something about it, but I can't. (For a variety of reasons)

Since I have declared that much, I might as well go on to say this to all women who care to read the following:

If what I say or do hurts you, I didn't mean it.

If it helped you, that is always my intention.

Any inconvenience caused is deeply regretted!
(more than you'd imagine - again for a variety of reasons).

Yours Faithfully,

Kunal Sadanand Yadwadkar

Opinions......

Ah! This one's after a long long time!

Over some time I've noticed that people always have opinons.

And what is more, I've noticed people are more eager to tell you their opinions when they feel something's wrong about you. Some almost seem to enjoy telling you that. " Oh.. what? That's dumb man! That's like the most stupid thing anyone's ever done! Blah blah blah.... " And here's the clincher: It's almost always unsolicited!!!

Oh, but you'll hardly ever find anyone telling you about how in their opinion you were right in doing something. Especially when things aren't going your way.

Forgive my rant though. I don't mean to complain. That's just how people are. Can't change that. Guess what I can change is myself. I need to decide how much importance I need to attach to self appointed judges....... But now, now, it's not that easy to change is it??

Nip, tuck, and on a roll

Very well written I must say! What do you think?

Colours of the sky

I had recently been to my farmhouse near Agalambe village, Pune. These are some shots of the evening sky as seen from my house - at different times of course - through my lens.

1+1=24

Yeah well I had a dream last night which was just as illogical as the title of this post... if dreams are ever logical..'cos I don't remember a single one which made sense.

Anyhow this one probably went a bit too far, and I couldn't help but laugh at the stupidity of my dreams (yes... now even my dreams are stupid! sigh! ).

I dreamt I was invited to dinner at a certain Mr. X's house. Well apart from the fact that I went to this Mr. X's house bang in the middle of the day (for a dinner, and yes he was expecting me..), this was not really the guy who'd invited me. Of course I didn't care (yes a ounce of logic here... as long as the food's there, who cares where you've landed up?).

Apparently Mr. X had also invited Mr. Y to dinner (and yes he too was amazingly dumb and came in the afternoon... looks like this was an epidemic), and yes (surprise, surprise!) Mr. Y's face and name didn't corroborate.
The food was great (yes...even in my dreams...food is something I can't compromise on :-) ).


Next, Mr. Y is seen talking to Mr. X, saying "You know the kind of work you do is of the type of systems which are characterised by the equation sum(Az^n) = 0; which is why I think Kunal is ideal for your kind of work"

huh??? what was that? I was upset, distressed..no.. appalled at that kind of a dream. I mean people my age normally dream of half naked girls on a beach, but even allowing for me having spent a large part of my life in India (and a fractional part in VIT), this was appalling to say the least!

Obviously something is wrong. I guess I should take these Pune roads (well...... that's what they call them anyway.) less seriously. What say?

Any Freuds in there??

At the waterfall

A photo essay

Following are the pictures of my trip to Fort William in Scotland.

Hope you like them, although err um I was pretty stupid and couldn't figure out a way to club these pics as a single post...well... whatever!

Oh yes, just to compensate for my extra bit of stupidity, do view these pictures from bottom to top. That way the captions would make more sense :-) (sheepish smile)

Just before we left the lodge 

My dad at the shore of yet another loch 

Self explanatory 

Some lucky people had this view in their dining room window! 

My try at a silouette (is that spelt right?)... not bad huh for an automatic? 

Wallpaper again 

On the summit! 

This is definitely not sunny! 

I'm happy!
