Ibn Battuta:
The great moroccan traveller.
I didnt know of him till I got to Dubai. A big mall in his name. Apparently he has a crater in the moon named after him too. A glorious adventurer who travelled thousands of miles across dozens of countries. He went where his life took him.
I am now in dubai. Life has brought me here. The fatalist in me has followed.
My voyages are voyages of the body, the mind and the spirit within.
I am Ibn Battuta in my own world. I am Ibn Batata from the batata land of bombay! I seek an adventure, and I know it is one I will get.

Used by film production personnel when a take is rejected either on the spot or on the editing table. Multiple NG Takes get rejected before the director /editor choses the perfect shot.

Welcome to the world of blogging. Great posts man, the ever philosophical Suresh. Like I suspected, Ibn Batuta had something to do with the Qutab Minar. Well he was the administrator/judge who managed this masoleum under the tyrannical Muhammad bin Tughlaq. For more info you could click on this link
