Art for Uma

Uma has got everyone wrapped around her little finger. Her Abu has made his first painting since leaving school just for her - The sheep was made by him. Amamma who is no stranger to painting but it has been a while made the rubber ducky, Nanda masi, a first for her too, the tortoise and her Mummy, the artist painted the cow.

References for these are from her baby books so that she connects them to what she will be reading. It was nice to see everyone sitting down to make these and I hope Uma likes them especially the thought behind them - we love you moomsie! The canvases are 8" by 6" and water based oil paints have been used.

My second snake sighting. I ran in and grabbed the camera and took several shots. The last time I was on the phone with Nanda and started shrieking hysterically snake! snake! Nanda thought that i'd lost it till she figured that i was talking about one swimming right in front of me in the lake. This one is on the ground and different from the first. Looks to be a dark yellow with diamonds. the last one was just beige. Too close for my liking!

Since you guys love to eat and to eat out, I thought that you might enjoy this site. Savory New York has links to reviews and restaurant listings in NY - including maps, directions, contact details etc. And they are updating the information frequently too. Here's are links to their information on Sripraphai and Sushi Yasuda.

The Savory New York Restaurant Guide is a wiki site. Most wiki sites are written collaboratively by contributors around the world and usually anybody can edit and add to an article ( def ). The Savory site allows this too but after you get in touch with them
"Since your site is a wiki, can I contribute?
Absolutely, however we ask that you please send us a note to let us know. We'll brief you on how we organize our listing information and what our posting guidelines are."
So in case you do use their site and want to update the information listed, drop them a line.

Keeping Mum

This movie still is from here and you'll find several more and a link to the imdb site for the reviews.

Ramesh picked bought this recently along will a whole host of others that look pretty serious. On Thursday last, we decided to watch it on his laptop. We knew that Rowan Atkinson was in it but that's about it. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise. For me even more so as I did not like Atkinson in the Mr Bean series though i did enjoy Black Adder and the Thin Blue Line. That it was a black comedy cannot be denied but we enjoyed it inspite of that or maybe because of that? Must say the underplayed brit sense of humour was a welcome change. And they managed the end wonderfully well too. I'm sure you will enjoy it too.

Wood that Works

http://www.woodthatworks.com Powered by Qumana
Stumbled across this site today. These wooden sculptures are fairly large and all of them move when wound up. And they create fantastic and changing patterns as they move. The site has flash samples of how these pieces work. Very nice.
