Jumped off a platform about 120 feet high with nothing but an elastic rope tied to my ankles. Yeah, I “bungee jumped” today. And it was one hell of an experience. I’m still feeling the rush of the jump. Went with Chandrahasa, Kiran, Madhavi, Madhu, Mythreyi, Swetha, Satish and Vikram.
Everyone MUST do this once. It is an experience to remember :)
More details, pics and videos tomorrow. It’s late :(
Edit: Just noticed the current title of my blog and it takes on an entirely new meaning ;)
Edit 2: Corrected Mythreyi’s spelling :)
I’ve been trying to improve my Hindi to an extent where I can go through an entire conversation without using a word of English. I’ve mostly failed miserably at it because I don’t know such pure Hindi. But I want to learn. Problem is, there isn’t anyone who I can converse with to practice and no material from where to learn and practice on my own.
And only in this attempt have I realized how bad my Hindi is and how difficult articulating myself in it is. And people think I’m nuts if I try to talk purely in Hindi. A colleague has even called me crazy for trying to use pure Hindi because according to her, it’s to medieval :D
Some times I think I really AM nuts :-|
I want to base a theme on Sandbox but unfortunately it is based on GPL which I think is too restrictive. I would rather have it in LGPL/MIT/AFL (Even MPL) instead which are more open and non-restrictive.
Sigh.. I’ll have to look for another theme though I doubt any will match the awesome Sandbox. I wish Scott would provide dual licensing.
I finally did what I’ve been unable to for the past few weeks. For those who know what I’m talking about, yeah I did. :D
Did not turn out as I wanted it to but it also did not turn out how I feared it might. But there is hope and maybe I can eventually get it to turn out how I want it to.. ;)
The Plan
- Each team consists of two members
- Each person is allowed Rs. 1000 and a back pack.
- Participants are allowed to carry extra money, but are not encouraged to use it unless they are in some deep trouble.
- Remotest village in a state is a must visit.
- Farther the distance of travel from starting point more the fun.

This would be so much fun.. But I don’t think I’m capable of doing this :(
