Trying in vain to read a book in bus today morning, I thought I will solve the sudoku in today’s Ergo. By the time I was halfway through it, Kakuro given below sudoku caught my eye. Have been glancing through this paper for more than a year now and yet I never seem to have paid attention to it. Googled and got to know how to solve it. Got some old issues of Ergo from a sudoku-crazy friend and have since then been solving one puzzle after another!

I know that there are only a few of you who read my posts on Carnatic music. Considering the fact that it is one of the posts that I really enjoyed writing in the recent times, I would like to know how many of you read ‘Carnatic Music & Me’ series of posts. Just curious!

Blue is my favourite colour. Nature’s beauty is at its best in the form of blue sky and blue waters. Beautiful is the word I would associate with blue. Yet I have always wondered why blue is also used to mean gloomy, depressed, sadness, etc. Though the answer was always just a Google search away 
, thanks to sheer laziness on my part, I finally found the answer only today. In case you are interested in knowing it, assuming of course, you don’t already know it, here is what wikipedia says:
In the English language, blue may refer to the feeling of sadness. “He was feeling blue”. This is because blue was related to rain, or storms, and in Greek mythology, the god Zeus would make rain when he was sad (crying), and a storm when he was angry. Kyanos was a name used in Ancient Greek to refer to dark blue tile (in English it means blue-green or cyan). The phrase “feeling blue” is linked also to a custom among many old deepwater sailing ships. If the ship lost the captain or any of the officers during its voyage, she would fly blue flags and have a blue band painted along her entire hull when returning to home port.
