To be a Kite..

I wonder what it would be like to be a kite..A kite riding the winds in the August skies. *Sigh* You could be a really big one with multi coloured tissue paper and a looong flowing tail flying high in the mighty gale at Galle face, or perhaps a sturdy little yellow kite climbing the skies over a village paddy field. You could be held by an excited little boy flying his first kite, or a seasoned teenager expertly leading you to a 'kite fight'. You might fly higher and higher and never break your string. Or you might get caught in a strong gust of wind and be bustled away to a strange new land. Or you might get caught up in the mango tree next door and the evil next door kid will pull you down and feed you to his dog. Dont YOU ever wonder what it would mean to be a kite? Just think what fun you might have!

As if thats not silly enough, just the other day I was adding a new method to this class , REPEAT a NEW method, and I just typed the first few letters and pressed CTRL+SPACE..waiting for Eclipse to do its auto completion for something that was inside my brain. Oh the horror of it!.. I wonder if all programmers fall to this sorry state...If all computer users for that matter. Well it stands to reason doesnt it? If you have this wonderful slave who will take care of how to spell 'sacrilegious' and will find out for
