Mauritius is really picturesque

I will try and publish some photos from my trip the next few days. Here is one of them. This is from the beach of Hotel Bougainville. 

Shiv Temple in Mauritius

On our recent visit to Mauritius, Sam and I visited the Shiv Temple at Ganga Talao. Very beautiful temple. Its right in the middle of a national wildlife sanctuary. Apparently all the hindus in Mauritius (upwards of 50% of the population) walk up to the temple during Shiv Raathri and worship Lord Shiva. The hindus here are deeply religious.

The pandit at the temple asked us if we were from India (Bharat, as they call it - in fact, more people call India as Bharat there than over here) and then let us perform abhishek to Lord Shiva. It was a very spiritual experience!!

Blog or Wiki

I recently tried out creating a wiki page. Seems pretty cool and easy to use. I basically wanted my notes to survive my constant shuffle with Windows and Linux and so wanted something on the net. Wikispaces suited my requirement just fine (I am keeping my page private - so no links here ;-) ).

I have enabled access to no one else. Sometimes I wonder if its more convenient than blogger.com because I dont need to make new "posts" with new subject lines and publishing and all those fundas. Just edit and save. Hmmm...it will be interesting to compare the two technologies.

Xen 3.0 is finally out. My work involves using and developing Xen and so me looking forward to trying out the new release. Pretty cool work those guys do!!!
