Harry Potter by ...

I was always scared as to whether I would run out of links for this blog, but such an event seems unlikely at least as long there are HP fans (to read the stuff) and HP buffs (to provide the material).

My last post was to acknowledge JKR for what she has given us. Now to more timepass stuff. Dr Mosi having successfully completed his doctoral studies in virology has now taken up serious writing that would be of great value to the world, as is evident in his recent post - Harry Potter by.... We, The Visitor editorial team, thank him for his yeoman service and wish him success in his endeavors.

Keep them coming Dr. Mosi. :)

Biology between two persons...

Biological relations - nope; Relations in Biology - terrible; Relationships explained in Biology - hmmm; Nomenclatural classifications of organismal interactions in real life - yuk - sounds like a title of a research paper. Biology between two persons... YES!

That was a tough one - I mean - getting the title for this post right. Finally I gave in to sensationalism rather than to correctness. After all we bloghoppers need to live a life - and the number of hits/comments do make our life.

After having met
Alpha The Storyteller
Alpha The Intrepid Host
now meet Alpha - The Biology Teacher in her post La Symbiose à Paris

PS: Don't blame me if you didn't get what you expected. I too was expecting more, only to see that the narrative, after a gripping start, ended rather tamely. :(

1001 ways to have a social life...

You are in a new town/country; you have no friends, atleast none who fit your expectations as friends - what do you do? Forget the 1000 ways that normal people would prefer - here's the one idea that makes you one in a million. For those who don't understand the math involved, please contact me.

You put up a friendimonial [the word is already copyrighted :( ].

Now who would ever answer such an advertisement unless they were_____ (fill in the blanks as per your perception/choice).
Alpha might qualify for whatever word you've chosen to fill the blanks with. For she did respond to the friendimonial - read her account in One Desperate Soul to Another.

But, there are the doubters, who say that the entire episode is a fast one pulled off by Alpha, and would not believe it unless Alpha put up the reply, which Alpha has promptly done and is documented at - Only Fools Rush In.

Have a nice weekend preferably looking at some of the Pieces of The Puzzle.

On Becoming a Child

Childhood - ah that lovely phase of life, when we flitted like butterflies, without a care in the world...

Don't we all yearn for it? On hindsight everything looks so beautiful.. sigh.

The Brownie, doesn't seem to suffer from such illusions. Here's her rocker of a post On Becoming A Child.

Dusty trophy - Interesting Conversation

Barath has an interesting perspective on winning trophies - Meer and Naeem in: My Girl ... My Dusty Trophy?. Is that what happens with all that we desire and acquire? Find out.
PS: Reminds me of Ammani's quick tales and Itchy's - Factual Fiction series.

Sidin has relocated

Sidin is pretty well-known in the Indian bloghopper's circuit. I chanced upon him in my early bloghopping days, when I read Sidin’s guide to the greatest Indian cricketers of all time especially that period between 4 and 6 pm last week. I was hooked.

Reading his profile raises the green monster in me - I wonder how these guys/gals do it? (This is a rather long list of accomplished people I've come across during my travels in blogworld).

He was then posting on blogspot. Recently, he has moved over to Wordpress. He can be read at Domain Maximus. Except for the location change, he remains the same as before. Go through his blog on a leisurely weekend and have fun.

And all the best Sidin.

I am alive :)

I've been quite busy, reading blogs of course. And I now contribute my mite to another collective blog aggregator - Kathambamaalai - கதம்பமாலை, hence my blog has been neglected. But thanks to Kathambamaalai, I have been able to read many more blogs. Now there were some simply fantastic funny posts there, which I thought I should share here too:

Here Sayesha's rollicking account of her experience of playing Pictionary with Viv.

And in this series Dubukku shares his college day kadalai(கடலை) experiences.

Then there was a post by the Kid, Man write on identifying the gender of the person, using a program. One just has to paste his/her writing and submit it to the Gender genie, the program analyses the data and returns the gender of the writer. Thanks Kiddo for the link.
