Time

chasing time
I find myself in a constant race against time. In my school days my favourite topic for any essay was "the value of time". Mainly it was also due to laziness to learn any new essay. I used to be the last one to complete my exam papers and writing an essay extempore was really a nightmare. It would have taken atleast an hour to write an essay on a new topic. So to save time I byHearted the essay and save time(real value for time).

The above picture I made is based on an old malayalam childrens movie where the protagonist child sees himself chasing an alarm in a nightmare. The image stuck in my mind for so many years.

Hopefully this picture will be useful in your presentations where you have to emphasise on strictly following deadlines.

Another inspiration to do this picture is the lines from the poem "if" by Rudyard Kipling which goes
"If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"

So much for the serious part.

Well also speaking about time, here is a video song from old Kannada movie starring Dr.Rajkumar .. "If you come today ,its too early, If you come tomorow its too late, You pick the time, tick tick tick :)

Ugadi Greetings [click on the picture to enlarge]
Ugadi (yug - era, adi - beginning) is the festival marking the beginning of the year(according to the Hindu Lunar calendar) . This is mainly celebrated by states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The festival is also celebrated as Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra.

The Festival also marks the beginning of spring. It is the time of unripe mangoes. While the Telugu people make "Ugadi Pachhadi" and "Avakkai"(mango pickles), the Kannadigas make "Bevu-Bella".

Here are a few links with more information on this festival
