How to catch a white elephant: Go to an place where there are white elephants. Bring with you a muffin (with raisins). Climb a tree. When the white elephant is close, drop the muffin (with raisins) in front of it. The white elephant will be happy, and eat the muffin (with raisins). White elephants like muffins (with raisins). Repeat this procedure for five days in a row. After the fifth day, the white elephant will be used to its daily muffin (with raisins). The sixth day you climb the tree, bringing with you a muffin (without raisins). Drop the muffin (without raisins) as usual. When the white elephant finds out that the muffin (without raisins) lacks rasins, it will darken in anger. And then you catch it the same way you catch an ordinary grey elephant.

Reaching for the heavens

 Posted by Picasa


I've noticed, each place has it own unique cloud patterns. Tequila Sunset posted sometime in the past is the cloud formation over Cochin. Scientifically speaking, clouds over any place is a direct measure of precipitation there, but I'd say it was a measure of how pleasant the place can be! :)

Chennai has the most beautiful bluest skies you can ever see. Mostly there is not a cloud on the horizon, making for some spectacular sunrises and sunsets.

Singapore has rain all through the year, so there's clouds around most of the time. But once in a while, you have great definition, making for a memorable scene.

If you spend all your time living your life, when do you have time to look to the heavens?
