A room with a view

Staring intently into cyberspace too long strains my eyes. that's when I decide to relax my pupillary muscles and take a break by sparing into real space instead. Thankfully my office window does not open to the concrete jungle outside. Instead there is a soothing green visible outside. A family of inquisitive monkeys, a couple of scurrying squirrels, the occasional yellow butterflies in the breeze, these are the familiar sites through the window bars. Last day I heard two women hollering and quarrelling outside somewhere. I strained my neck hard to catch a view of them but gave up finally for fear of breaking my neck!


A hole in the tree trunk....

 This hole set me thinking... I imagined the following possibilities:
It could breed Aedes mosquitoes during the rains - (hopeless public health persona)
It could be a squirrel's nest - yes, I have seen them gnawing around the place
There could be a bird's nest inside - totally unfounded due to lack of evidence
For now, I think this space is still up for takers.

A closer view of the canopy ...

On Education

Education has nothing to do with knowledge, learning or wisdom.
A sad fact I learned from my own experiences. People who hold the highest of qualifications turn out to have the scrimpiest of hearts and most narrowest of visions and the biggest of hypocrites. What Mark Twain said rings true,
''I was born intelligent,education ruined me"
