-Still nappy bound but wanted to grow up to be a swashbuckling, eye patch wearing pirate. -kindergarten: got his thrills from scaring girls with live tadpoles, insects, bugs. Basically anything that had 6 legs, was slimy and crawled. - 10, deported to one of the most (best) known boarding schools in India. -Became infamous for playing a mean game of soccer,squash,hockey... has a prized scar just below the knee to prove it. Not to forget whacking most no. of heads in after-dark pillow fights. - 16, an ''outstanding'' sqaush player. Won the north zone championship (SRAI) without hiting a single shot. Incidentally became better known for beating everybody when it came to guzzling the max no. of cold drinks, which were available for free to all the participants. - Remembers how close he felt to God when bungee jumping down a mother-of-all gorges. - Assisted the chemistry teacher in an experiment which resulted in a loud explosion and lot of smoke. (..fortunate teacher, cuz nterest in pure sciences soon waned) - 17, was often chided for making the young army officers (Lts. & Capt.s) in the local cantonment squash club huff -n- puff during friendlies. - College, ragged a fellow class mate on the first day pretending to be his senior. Also recalls fondly the constant bickering with the kranky librarian 'cuz of late- returns, fines, present generation and other such petty issues. Finds equally hard to wipe off that smirk when thinks of all those 'philosophy- life- universe' discourses dispensed over evening <i>chai</i>. - At present, schmoozing with software techies and searching for that sweet spot where technology & business meet. Took this yoolde doodle snap on a bobbing raft - one hand on the clicker, other holding for dear life. venue - some coastal village one & half hr hitch-hiking distance away from my digs.

Great write up. If the Doors of eternity were unlocked, everything would appear as it is - Infinitely. It is my understanding the the band was inspired by this line. (Penned by Aldous Huxley). Once again, beautiful review.

Don't you think so many parallels can be drawn between Swades and Gandhi? Both were successful abroad, both returned home, both incorporated the 'travel' element -spent time on the rural sight, sounds, smells. Both mention the down trodden, social ills, ecnomic empowerment of the poor....and I read more...
