Hosadarlli agasa goni etthi etthi ogada

Check here for the meaning :) Harry today invited me to join in consolidating proverbs (gaadegaLu) in Kannada (my mother tongue). Interestingly, he created a blog for it. Feel free to contribute to it. Drop a line to me or Harry.

Been a busy 24 hours. A work related call got over at 12:40am EDT. After work, went to the next state (literally... Nashua is in NH) to get a hair-cut. Amma, illi hengasare koodalu kattarsadu :) Took a while to get there. A car had rear-ended a truck on the left lane and that is the perfect recipe for rubbernecking.

Kimball, Prarit and I had an interesting converstation about the American economy, inflation and other trends. Invariably, the conversation veered to social security. Kimball tells me that by 2010, the number of people claiming social security in this country would've doubled. You'll have to look back 50+ years to find the reason: baby-boomers are reaching their retirement age. I should continue the conversation sometime.. these are interesting things to know and understand.

Well, thats about it for the first post. Hopefully, the quality will also become better over time.

Actually, there are quite a few sites where Kannada gaades are listed. They don't go beyond that though - its just a listing. To make it interesting and useful, each gaade has to be accompanied by its meaning and suitability. Thats what http://kannadagaade.blogspot.com/ attempts to do.
