Most desired celebrity
Gaius Julius Caesar
I dont know if any one has ever celebrated Caesar in recent times, but he is one character I have been amazed and intrigued by. The class, the honor, the love and the power "..hear me for my cause, and be silent that you may hear." I think anything from that period still inspires me, like Maximus from Gladiator or Asterix and Obelix.
Want to do this some day
I already did this, thrice. So something I really want to do next is to fly a plane. Feel the G force, and be in control (hopefully!)
Want to visit this place
Where the earth meets the sky..
I am still searching for this place.. I am still on the road..It seems never ending, but I am loving the journey..
Random favorite
The Sunflower..somehow brings me random thoughts: happiness, brightness, color, love, smile, laugh, joy, beauty, God, simplicity..
I was tagged by this smart and spritely person

ah great to see the sun shining again *putting on my shades* since the glare is pretty strong.... after all that bungee jumping,I suppose.
sunflower reminds me of two people,and one is you.
@ maya - ahh..my favorite maya brings the first comment..thank you.
sunflower reminds me of two people,and one is you.
what an honor! i hope the memories are for the right reasons! :) i will not sleep till i know who the other is!
Antony's speech still gives me goose bumps, in fact I used it for an Elocution Contest. Where the earth meets the sky, sounds like a never ending quest, hope you find it one day :) I always wondered why you liked the sunflower, now we know :) Great tag doc!!
Nice tag MC! And glad to see you swinging high!
:)
@ silverine - caesar, antony, brutus, cassius..all amazing characters i think..you were the winner for the elocution surely. yes i love sunflowers for what they are and for what they remind me of..thank you..nice to be back here.
@ quills - short and sweet welcome-back comment huh? :) oh yeah, me swinging back to blogosphere..
Nice tag MC!
I found the place where the road meets sky.. In an interior part of Sabah(east malaysia)..there is a road called Tambunan - keninagau and at one point the road looks directly at MT Kinabalu( the highest mountain in SE Asia)
Well i am reading your blog for the first time.(Referred by Maya)
I was impressed by what i read in your profile and in the 'about me' space.
I am journeying too. The journey is what gives me pleasure. We tend to leave many things unnoticed in our
journey, which may seem trivial but which can teach us a lot.
PS I am scared of heights.
I like your taste of music too. I am a pink floyd fan.
Nice one bro. It is nice to see you back.
Julius Caesar - Et tu, Brute?
Feel the G force - The easiest way to do this is to become the President :-)
Still searching for this place... Try Google :-)
Sunflower - Vincent Van Gogh ;-)
U know..your sunflower is brilliant. :) It is my fav flower too by the way.
And your pic has this lovely effect of cheering me up when ever I feel a bit down. :) And then like Maya above, I need to put on my shades as well.
First thanks, for doing this and hence for stopping the melodramatic sobbing whcih had become a habbit everytime I was here :). I am so glad you are back to the blogosphere with this tag *Beaming*
Now Julius Caesar, antony, Brutus, _Asterix_ and_Obelix_. Wow!
Do you know I hate Asterix?
You are loving the journey, and may you love it more as you go ahead, oh somehow journeys now remind me of the wonderful poem Ithaka I read on Ganjaturtle, like it says :
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you wouldn't have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.
Somehow I never thought of the sunflower like this, and now I have a refreshed perspective of this flower.
And now about my picture * smiling from ear to ear*
How did you know I wear pink a lot? And Doc I am working on that double chin I seem to have developed.
:) Thanks again for doing this.
Ave, fellow Roman!
Roma Victor, Venus Vitrix, Pax Romana down the Via Augustus and all that, eh?
Julius Caesar is a great inspiration for Moi... one day I intend to get an iron bust of Julius made and put it on top of my desk. You are looking at THE Romaphile here....
I see you love bungee-jumping.... Wapple! ;) Real men, like Yours Truly, do HALO drops and sky-diving!
BTW, back to see you back in blogistan, Lord MindCurry.... You have come from the cold very much like Maximus Tigris who came back from to avenge his family in this life or the next, eh? :P
For Rome and our General Julius Caesar,
Marius Sandrocottus,
Tribune of the Western Army.

nice tag...
And I like the sunflower too...so cheerful and life-giving.
Keshi.
Welcome back, Mind. Missing you while you were gone!
hey ..nice to see u back..and a nice warm psot to greet us too..tths adouble treat ..yes I seem to feel most of ur posts eminate warmth and cosiness ..probably thts why u like sunflower ..well I dnt have favourities in flowers I love all of them but sunflower has always had a deeper connotation for me ..for the simple reason that when I was small and life was much more simpler and easier and my mom used to take my face in her hands ..and she used to call me her sunflower and cuddle me and i used beam with happiness and a surge of joy .as if it was a special phrase that I needed to preserve for life ..
@Shruthi:
"my mom used to take my face in her hands ..and she used to call me her sunflower and cuddle me and i used beam with happiness and a surge of joy .as if it was a special phrase that I needed to preserve for life"
That must have a great feeling :)
@silverine - yes if I trust my emmory I used to believe I share a special thing with her .
Good to see you...
Me have never done bungee-jumping..
:)
..Me
doc...no lightening strikes... made a mistake while commenting,what I meant was that I endorse number two at Kusums Myth/Fact post :)
@ IiC - thanks sarah..i should first learn to spell and say Tambunan-Keninagau (phew!!) before heading that side then!! who ever said that the journey is to be enjoyed is so wrong!! ;)
@ alex - welcome here too alex. and thank you so much.i absolutely agree with you on the journey bit..in the end we should be able to say we lived our life full.
bungee jumping is a good way to reduce your kind of fear :)
i respect any floyd fan! *bows*
@ alexis - hey al! nice to see you too! is sixela still at home? yeah i also realise being the president is the only way for me! and no more googling..sarah has given me the map!
@ quills - ah an after thought huh..i am sure lot of people love the sunflower..but perhaps for different reasons.
lol about maya!
@ kusum - it was my pleasure..i really have to apologize for every tear that you should (if tears come in melodramatic sobbing, that is!)
i am also an obelix fan, rather than asterix. and i am also a cacofonix follower.
Ithaka is beautiful..dont know how i missed it..will go back there and read.
How did you know I wear pink a lot?
i think all the times that i met you, you were pretty-in-pink..so i just figured! :)
it was a pleasure doing this for you.
@ anand - hail anand!
when i see your comment, i go have some energy drink and come back to read them..the last i spent so much energy while reading was for my post-grad exams!
sky-diving! gosh...thats awesome man! do you do it from a plane? excellent..and you are still around too!
absolutely not this life or the next..it has all to happen in this life! next life, i will begin afresh.

@ helen - so sweet helen! thanks and it feels good to be back!
@ shruti - hello shruti! long time huh..i am sooo bad! i have so many apologies to make! anyway..
