Packing Mesh

2014-01-13T21:49:00.006+05:30

I, being a photography enthusiast who likes to travel, usually reads backpacker guides and articles from ww web searching for tips and tricks, looking for backpack contents and ways of organising them.
I have read tonnes of articles on uses of packing cubes and compression sacs for packing things in your backpack.
While agreeing to the uses of all these, one thing that I found to be useful and cheap was never given its due place in backpacking world, named Packing Mesh.

Yes, it is the small plastic net which is used to pack onions in supermarkets.
They are absolutely cheap, free of cost if you buy vegetables from big stores, and a wonderful packing and organising material for a backpacker.
While it will not give the tight packing ability of compression sacs or easy organisation of cubes, the virtual costless nature against 200Rs(3-4$) for packing cube and may be 10 times costlier compression sacs, gives it a potential to become an important item in backpacker essentials especially for students and travellers with low budget.

A question awaiting answer...

2013-12-10T10:46:00.004+05:30

A decision making question. All those who read should comment your answers. Please!!!

You are working in an institution which has a provision to give you paid leave for education. But you have to execute a bond for this leave that you will rejoin immediately after course and will not resign before 3 years of service after education.
The bond condition you can see that is of good faith that if we pay you during leave you have to pay us back with added knowledge you get through education.
If you violate bond you will have to repay salary of the period with interest.
After education, you feel you can contribute better to society in some other ways. What will you do?
1. Wait for three years to get over and resign.
2. Resign and pay the penalty.
3. Work for an year. Then take a payless leave for 2 yeers and then resign after completion of bond period. Now use excuse of 3 year as an argument not to pay back.
4. Other options...

What will you choose (including any other suggestions you can find.)?
Why?
Explain the options and decision in detail.

Eid Mubarak

And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast."

Eid-Ul-Adha, The 'Festival of Sacrifice' to commemorate the willingness of Abraham to Sacrifice his son in the path of righteousness...

Let us remember the greatness of his mind by being willing to sacrifice what we consider dear, what we consider most precious for us, in the path of righteousness, for the greater good of society and mankind.

The Royal Cat

2011-11-06T00:20:00.003+05:30

The cat that strayed away, looking at me as if challenging me for a duel

This is one of my first pictures of last year. Nothing much to say about this. I saw him walking through the corridor to the courtyard, I wanted to click and aimed, he moved away slowly to the corner where we have kept all unwanted things. I aimed again and he looked at me like asking a question. I clicked... I dedicated it to my friend Asweela because we were talking about cats two days before.

And These are Facebook Comments I got.... Much of Cat-Talk ;)

You, Balcony Beats, Hari Lal, Sachin Somasundaran and 9 others like this.

  07 February at 07:04 ·
- Srinivas Panicker Kodiyath
  well Asweela, can't help it......i started to hate pets more as i came here...with stupid students around attention seeking through their affection to cats and dogs,rearing more and more of these pampered creatures worthy of a mass culling anytime...
  i am in a jungle, where one has to fight to all these things to find a clean place to sit and have a snack peacefully...added to it there are monkeys and birds attacking from above....
  
  that stray cat he clicked gave a momentary shift in the perspectives...

നഷ്ടസ്വപ്‌നങ്ങള്‍

2008-06-25T10:09:00.003+05:30

പറയാതെ പോയ പ്രണയത്തിന്റെ
ആദ്യാക്ഷരങ്ങള്‍ നിനക്കായി കുറിക്കട്ടെ
അറിയാതെ പോയ നിന്റെ
നിശ്വാസങ്ങള്‍ക്ക് വേണ്ടി
എന്റെ സ്നേഹം ചവിട്ടിത്തേച്ചു
കടന്നു പോയ കാലത്തിനും,
നിനക്കും,
പിന്നെ ഓര്‍മകളില്‍ അവശേഷിക്കാത്ത
നഷ്ടസ്വപ്നങ്ങള്‍ക്കും വേണ്ടി
എനിക്കവസാനമായി പറയാനുള്ളത്
ഈ ചീന്തുകടലാസ്സില്‍ ഞാന്‍ കുറിക്കട്ടെ
കാലം ബാക്കി വെക്കാത്ത മുറിപ്പാടുകള്‍ക്കും
മുകളില്‍,
അവശേഷിക്കുന്ന ബോധത്തിന്റെ
നേര്‍ത്ത തലങ്ങളില്‍
ഞാന്‍ പാടട്ടെ
എന്റെ പ്രണയവും, നീയും,
മാത്രമറിയുന്ന ഒരു ഗാനം
പറയാതെ പോയ പ്രണയത്തിന്റെ
ആദ്യാക്ഷരങ്ങള്‍ നിനക്കായി കുറിക്കട്ടെ
എന്റെ പകലുകള്‍ക്കും രാത്രികള്‍ക്കുമിടയില്‍
സ്നേഹത്തിന്റെ നേര്‍ത്ത മൂടുപടമായി
നീ മാത്രം ഓര്‍മകളില്‍ ശേഷിക്കെ
രാത്രിയുടെ ഈ അവസാനയാമത്തില്‍
എനിക്ക് പാടാനും പറയാനും
ബാക്കിയായി,
ഒരു പിടി സ്വപ്‌നങ്ങള്‍ മാത്രം
എന്റെ നഷ്ടസ്വപ്നങ്ങള്‍ക്ക് ...
പറയാതെ പോയ പ്രണയത്തിന്റെ
ആദ്യാക്ഷരങ്ങള്‍ നിനക്കായി കുറിക്കട്ടെ

Annyan - The Stranger

2007-02-22T23:22:00.004+05:30

I am a stranger amongst all
Stranger between the friends
Cause I speak
And they dont want to hear
cause I remind
What they wants to forget
I keep telling them
To remember the Ways
To remember the steps
All those things
From the forgotten past
Past that paved way
To this bright present
They sayIt is called 'present'
Because it is a gift
But I told themIt is not a gift,
It is the outcomeOf heavy toil,
Done by those travelled before
Toils, you dont want to remeber
It cost wealth for some
It cost health for some
And life for yet another
Yes, I am the stranger
Who remembers all those
Strange things forgotten
Yes I am the fool
Who cannot go
Familiar ways of happy world.

അന്യന്‍
ആദ്യം നാട്ടുകാര്‍
ഒരല്‍പം അകന്നു നിന്നു
മുന്‍പ് കാണാത്ത പോലെ
ഞാനെന്താ അന്യനോ?
നീയാരാ ഞങ്ങളെ നന്നാക്കാന്‍
എന്ന് കുട്ടുകാര്‍
നന്ദി മറന്നിരിക്കുന്നു
ഞാനവര്‍ക്ക്‌ 'അന്യനാ'വുന്നോ ?
സമൂഹത്തെ നന്നാക്കാന്‍ ഇറങ്ങാതെ
നിനക്ക് സ്വന്തം കാര്യം നോക്കിക്കുടെ
എന്ന് പ്രണയിനി
അവള്‍ക്കും ഞാന്‍ 'അന്യനാ'വുന്നു
നിന്റെ ആദര്‍ശങ്ങളില്‍ നിന്നു
പ്രവൃത്തികള്‍ ഒരുപാടകലുന്നു എന്ന് മനസാക്ഷി
ഒരു ഞെട്ടലോടെ ഞാനറിഞ്ഞു
എനിക്കും ഞാന്‍ 'അന്യനാ'യിരിക്കുന്നു
