The End: I Will Always Return

Pure Awesomeness by Bryan Adams in the Soundtracks for Spirit: Stallion of Cimmarron.
Bryan Adams: I Will Always Return
I hear the wind call your name
It calls me back home again
It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns
Oh it’s to you I’ll always return
I still feel your breath on my skin
I hear your voice deep within
The sound of my lover - a feeling so strong
It’s to you - I’ll always belongNow I know it’s true
My every road leads to you
And in the hour of darkness darlin’
Your light gets me throughWanna swim in your river - be warmed by your sun
Bathe in your waters - cos you are the one
I can’t stand the distance - I can’t dream alone
I can’t wait to see you - Ya I’m on my way homeOh I hear the wind call your name
The sound that leads me home again
It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns
Oh, it’s to you - I will always return

The Beginning of the End

Every Beginning Has An End, Neo!
And similarly this series comes to an end. Not an exceptional series by any means but teh fact that this is the first series I am successfully completing. Taking cue from this, I shall now work harder at my long pending series.
There has, obviously, been literary mistakes in this text owing to my limited expertise at the English Language. But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want to poke a finger and feel around.
OSScamp Bengaluru was a wonderful experience. Managing an Event all alone is critical experience and has its own, both, pros and cons. While there were aspects of it I didn’t like at all, there were things that I really loved. Strangely, one of these was dining, with an artificial effort, because my body needed food while I cannot dine alone. Weird fellow, ain’t I?
Pictures from the trip can be found on my flickr account.

Day Three: Coming Home Now
Posted on August 17th, 2008 in Diary | No Comments »
on my flight back home:
And I’m coming home now
It’s been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Praying you’ll be there
| 10:40 AM | I am glad to be going home. Here Comes the Sun; Here Comes the Sun, And I’ll Say - It’s Alright! |
| 11:03 AM | I keep running into bad weather, or so it seems. |
| 11:07 AM | Its common to have Turbulence due to the current weather. Current Height is 38000 Feet. Just crossed Hyderabad. Scheduled to fly over Bhopal at 11:55 AM and over Delhi by 12:45 PM. |
| 11:20 AM | I wish they had bigger windows to enjoy the view. |
| 11:22 AM | I wish I could feel the wind on my face. |
| 11:31 AM | Bad Weather Again: Be Seated, Fasten Seat Belts, Don’t Use Lavatories. Great! Bleeding Great! |
| 11:35 AM | I am rocking my toes, my feet are numb. I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there! Become so tired, so much more aware |
| 11:38 AM | Through with bad weather and no visibility for once. Cloud Cover Lost. Land Ahoy! |
| 11:50 AM | Hey Bhopal! How you doin’ man? |
| 11:52 AM | Aaj main upar, aasman neeche Aaj main aage, Jamana hai piche I dunno why, but I am humming this song. And grinning shamelessly. |
| 11:56 AM | Ah! Be Damned You, Turbulence! |
| 11:58 AM | It’s kinda weird the way the craft wings shake in the wind. I hoped them to be hard and firm. |
| 12:02 PM | It’s like a vast ocean of clouds that I am flying over. Nature’s Call. BRB. |
| 12:08 PM | I have been a great discomfort to my seatmates with all the walking from and back to the seats. Wish they had more space between two subsequent rows. Sorry!. |
| 12:19 PM | I want to be a space tourist next. |
| 12:27 PM | Approaching Home. 20 Minutes to Terra Firma. Wait! Isn’t TERRA supposed to be FIRMA? Ain’t that implicit? I mean, do we have Terra Infirma? I wouldn’t want to be there. |
| 12:28 PM | Preps started. Changes in direction and altitude. |
| 12:28 PM | We will be landing shortly in Delhi. Descending Now. |
| 12:29 PM | Mother Earth and Gravity playing their little games. |
| 12:40 PM | Touche! |

Day Two: Here Comes The Sun
Posted on August 17th, 2008 in Diary, OSScamp | No Comments »
0626 Hrs. Get a call from home. Rise and shine sleepyhead. Thomas is coming over too. He is a fellow camper from chennai; he needs a place to keep his luggage and to take a bath. I need some company; I invite him over.
He is there by 8AM, by the time I was fresh and ready. We start at 8:20 for the venue. I am the organizer for chrissake! I have to be there early, get things arranged and organized. But first - Breakfast!
Me and Thomas head over to the Kabini Canteen for a quick breakfast while discussing FOSS. It feels so great to be talking like you really know what you are talking about, even if you don’t. Post breakfast, Thomas and I start on our mission to find and reach the venue. I was to experience the vastness of the IISc campus, now. 40 minutes and 15 guides later, we reach the CEDT Building. Welcome to OSScamp Bengaluru!
