Photos of the don...

LOOK AT THE DON

I have not maintained a photo album in a long time. I only send out photos to ppl i know when the events take place.
However, i was recently pestered for a anthology of photos since i was a kid. A lot of my snaps are still not digital, so it may take some time change this status... heowever, here are some snaps from recently to a long time back... in reverse order of clickment....


if you think this is a vain exercise, I wish to again remind you that you are NOT
on the homepage of any Mr Universe ... this is a plain simple ME - Raghu - Raghudon - Rags call moi by any name!
_______________________________________________________________
1) At the risk of providing free humor and laughter to my readers.... heres my latest snap... my driver talked me into this pose cuz he thought i looked like a corporate don! kinda living to my name of "Raghudon" am i not mean looking? Please note that this is not really posed dress up... one day i was in the factory with my sleeves dirty, so i rolled up my shirt... also had a bout of sore eyes, so wore the gogs.... he pestered me to sit up on my table so he could shoot me... the result for all to see. :-) wil leave the comments to you to give!



_______________________________________________________________
2)


















My niece pradnya and me when she was wee bit... shes so sweet!
__________________________________________________________













Some snap clicked in china when i had gone for some convention.
_________________________________________________________

The small don when he was i think 2 years old... I had the beginning of a paunch from way back then i think :-) though my folks never let me retain this rockstar look later on in life... the closest i came was when in college and i refused to cut my hair for 3 moths citing the exam "oath" whch in fact was a pretext to grow them... but the bloody things take uo too much maintenance time... so had to let them go.



will put up some more when i can..... and if wanted :-)

comments welcome as usual...................

Worst analogies ever written in a high school essay (9th Deceber 2006)

Forgive me for not writing something original for some time. This was a nice piece sent to me and some of them looked atrociously funny! I hae put in my comments on some of these. I have a couple of ideas for the "latestest" blog entry but then by the time i am a bit free to pen them, those thoughts would have vaopurised like a camphor block subjected to a burning flame... lol (dont know whether I shoudl also include this in the below mentioned list :-) )

Also kind of reminds me of one college proncipal who used a statement like "He has to be kicked not with hands, but with feet" he was the most adorable principal there ever was who used to have a kids inquisitiveness and ask "mhanje " (meaning what?) for anything that he could not comprehend.
