Pet peeve #1
May 28th, 2004
I just hate it when people keep on saying ‘I mean’ or ‘you know’ in a conversation as a habit. Just spent an hour in a meeting where one guy kept saying ‘I mean’ and the other kept saying ‘you know’. My head is still spinning.

Comet Neat
May 27th, 2004
Comet Neat (C/2001 Q4) was visible to naked eye for the last 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately, I could observe it only on one night (May 19th) due to consistent cloudy skies. Took out my old trusty Pentax K-1000 and loaded it with ISO800 speed film. Took several 10, 20 and 30 second exposures. The image below is a composite of 14 such photos combined using Registax. It is not the greatest, but, am happy with the amount of time I had to take the photos and atmospheric conditions.
The greenish blob in the center of the picture is the comet. There is a faint tail going up to the left side. If you look at the right edge of the photo, the tail will appear brighter. I hope to make better scans from the negatives to make this picture less grainy.

Her favorite place in the house is this window, where she can stand and watch the cars, dogs, cats, squirrels, birds and people go by.

One of the biggest regrets of my life
May 25th, 2004
I was a poor graduate student. One of the best bands ever came to town in Winter of 1994. Didn’t have money to buy any more concert tickets as I had already attended two Pink Floyd and two Hindustani Classical concerts earlier that year. Decided to give up on the opportunity to see and hear Jerry Garcia and the gang live. Later in the Summer of 1995, Jerry Garcia died. There will be no more live Grateful Dead concerts. Missed the only chance I had to see one of my most favorite bands perform live. Will I ever forgive myself?

Is this a Jackson Pollock?
May 23rd, 2004
No. It is Ashwini’s first finger painting that was sent home by her teacher. But, I surely see the next Jackson Pollock in her.

Strange weather
May 21st, 2004
Update: We learnt about the real storm when we got home around 7:30 pm. It seems that we had 95 MPH wind gusts in our area and a lot of hail. One of our neighbor’s trees came down. It was a big tree and it took down a couple more on its way down. The roads were all littered with leaves and branches. The hail litterally made holes in all the leaves of the trees. They really look sad with drooping leaves. There was so much hail that all of it didn’t melt in 3-4 hours after the storm. Thankfully, no TORNADO. The dead tree near our house was still standing. Should get it cut soon.
2:00pm Friday, May 21st: Something strange with the weather. We have big thunderstorms moving through. At 2pm, the clouds are so thick that it almost feels like sun has set already. The wind is blowing fiercely and the sky looks green. I have never seen this color. Hope it is not a Tornado.
