Bridge under water
Everyday commute to office, we cross a 10 meter bridge constructed across a sewer canal. The bridge submerged in water last friday due to heavy rains in Bangalore. The water had gone more than a meter above the bridge.
More scary was the flooding of a small canal in our campus. The entire food court was sorrounded by water and the scene was terrific. This reminded me of the mighty Brahmaputra flooding every year in Nazira, Asssam

Project deadline for Archana
This world revolves on deadlines...be it anything.
Even God has got deadlines :)
My college friend Archana has her own deadline of delivering a baby by 19th November this year.
My best wishes for her successful delivery of her project named 'Baby' and I express my hearty congratulations to both Archana as well as Lijesh in advance.

'~Day' for Origami
‘~ Day’…We have special days to associate with almost everything. Few years from now, all 365 slots will be filled; we will then have a day for remembering all days and probably add more days to the year to satisfy our quest for special days, the ‘~Days’. Leave aside the future; scanning the present calendar of ‘~Days’, two days are marked for Origami「折り紙」. Let’s not envy origami for snatching two days in the calendar, let’s ponder the reason.
U.S. and U.K. calendars allocate October-24 for Origami. It marks the birth of Lillian Oppenheimer, who popularized origami in the west. She pioneered in spreading the art and science involved in origami starting from 1950.
In Japan, the story is different. Japanese consider origami to be one of the highest forms of art and celebrate November-11 for origami 「折り紙の日」spelt as ‘Origami no hi’, which is also the ‘Veteran’s day’ or ‘Remembrance day’ for them. This was the day when ‘World War-1’ ceased and the peace treaty was signed. It is referred to as ‘Sekai Heiwa Kinenbi’ 「世界平和記念日」meaning ‘World Peace Memorial Day’. Apart from these 2 x 24 hours, there are special origami seasons spanning from four days to one month followed throughout the world.
The above is yet to be published. It is written for our internal Japanese magazine
