Needless to say, I am hooked! (I am a book addict too. I sometimes even dream of dying amidst a pile of them). Ok...Bow Wow for now! Reminds me.....read the post on Brownie....did his bark go Brow Wow instead of Bow Wow? Poorest of my PJs, I must admit! :P Priya, Brilliant! :-) Love your language and sense of humor.

I neither know a lot nor am I wise. You are too kind. Though some people have told me that I'm a wise-ass :D Yes, I love that Epcot ride. I wish there would be some mechanism to see into the future. That would be even more interesting than seeing the past. Wonder what gadget people of the future would crave, though. A Personal Robot, maybe. You are right. Its sometimes hard to know why we love certain things. But its certainly interesting to speculate on how it all began. Regarding your question on subscription: Try the "Entries RSS" link. Shoba – Thanks for your comment.

I came into the blog to know what weird hobbies you might be posting here as suggested in your previous blogs and here I am getting to know so many things. Boy, you know a lot, though I have known this for a decade now, reading it on the post kind of re confirmed my belief //He who knows and knows that he knows - He is wise; follow him.// I guess I have always been a good follower. I agree with you, isn’t it interesting to know how a civilization lived instead of just knowing about the ruler. The radio example was just too good. When reading this, I remembered the ‘Carousel of life’ ride in Epcot where they show life at a U.S family in the early 19th century all the way to 21st century and everytime the man of the house says ‘ The world can’t get any better’ . Comparing the 6 valve radios to Ipods was indeed very creative. Certain things just become habits or interests without our knowledge. The pleasure of doing something becomes so intense that we forget how it all started. As they say in tamil “Rishi mulam and Nadhi mulam lam theda mudiyadhu” . Guess, we can certainly know Nadhi mulam, that is not my point here. Certain things are best to just let go and experience through the sheer joy of doing. BTW, how do you auto subscribe to the blog.
