Now why "xxl cargopants" of all things as a name?

Dunno about you, but thats the question uppermost in my mind... Now you may not want to know why, but since you are anyway reading this, you don't have a choice - kind of captive audience...

Well, actually i don't really know why, but these could be 2 reasons for the name:

1. I do a lot of things with my time... and dont have fun with most of it. I intend to write about the stuff that i have had fun with... and these are as diverse as they come - books (on fiction, philosophy, comics, spiritual, etc), travel to various places (more often than not off-beat), thoughts on random topics or just plain people watching... And all these in one place is like the cargo pants i own - i carry everything in them when i travel - toothbrush, book, water, money, items of inebriation, phone... hence the name.
2. I actually wanted cargopants as the name, but unfortunately only xxl cargopants was available... so i took it. with the benefit of hindsight, i thought it leant a nice touch to the cargopants concept - if cargopants can carry a lot of diverse stuff, then xxl cargopants can carry much more - what say?

Well, stay tuned to this space... if you are not tuned off already that is... ;-)

it is a good blog so far. dont take it too far though!

why cant your snaps be placed in the middle and adjacent to the text? so strage looking at the jpegs all at one go, and then the text... blandish. For a good looking blog - and a well written one at that - check out arunkatiyar@blogspot.com

And it is HARIdwar. Which stands for Hari's door. It is evidently the place through which Shiva emerges or something like that - Hardwar would mean EVERY DOOR, which is obviously not very engaging.
