Till we meet again

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

Phil the Greek Speaks

Prince Phillip of the UK, or Phil the Greek as he is known locally, is not consider particularly bright by many.  He is famous for his 'odd' public statements. 

To Scottish driving instructor, 1995: “How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?”

At a wildlife conference in China in 1986: “If it has four legs and it’s not a chair, if it’s got two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane and if it swims and it’s not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it.”

At Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme, 2006. “Young people are the same as they always were. Just as ignorant.”

To black politician Lord Taylor of Warwick, 1999: “And what exotic part of the world do you come from?”

To parents at a previously struggling Sheffield school, 2003: “Were you here in the bad old days? ... That’s why you can’t read and write then!”

Asking Cate Blanchett to fix his DVD player because she worked “in the film industry”, 2008: “There’s a cord sticking out of the back. Might you tell me where it goes?”

“People think there’s a rigid class system here, but dukes have even been known to marry chorus girls. Some have even married Americans.” 2000.To a group of industrialists in 1961: “I’ve never been noticeably reticent about talking on subjects about which I know nothing.”

In Canada in 1976: “We don’t come here for our health.”

To the Aircraft Research Association in 2002: “If you travel as much as we do, you appreciate the improvements in aircraft design of less noise and more comfort – provided you don’t travel in something called economy class, which sounds ghastly.”

hanging pillar

The Veerabhadra Swamy Temple is calm, serene and has preserved its sanctity. The outer portion has a massive Dance Hall with numerous pillars supporting the roof. One corner pillar is the famous ‘hanging pillar‘ that does not touch the temple floor at all. Passing a cloth beneath the pillar is said to bring one prosperity in life

Sitting in looking at rain on vacanes

Morning Rain by Tu Fu

A slight rain comes, bathed in dawn light.
I hear it among treetop leaves before mist
Arrives. Soon it sprinkles the soil and,
Windblown, follows clouds away. Deepened

Colors grace thatch homes for a moment.
Flocks and herds of things wild glisten
Faintly. Then the scent of musk opens across
Half a mountain -- and lingers on past noon.

Jpr:   Suspect great tree poems must be so inspired.
