Hare Krishna Madhavaji,

Saw your new "punchline" - What's meant by "Horatio" there? Also who is the avatar which you are using now-a-days?

Hare Krishna!

I think it's meant Hamlet's friend...:-)

Horatio is a character in the Shakespearean play that is quoted. Was it Hamlet? I forget.

You missed that little chat altogether, didn't you?

The picture is of Srinivasa.

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

--From Hamlet, Prince of Denmark - 1601 - Act I. - Scene 5. - Rows: 166-167

'Hamlet speaks these lines to his friend Horatio. The sentries who keep night watch over the castle at Elsinore have seen an apparition of the ghost of the late king of Denmark, Hamlet's father. Although Horatio pleads with the ghost to speak to them, it refuses and disappears at morning light. Horatio tells Hamlet about it the next night, believing that the ghost will only speak with his son. Hamlet goes off with the ghost, where he learns that his father was murdered by his own brother, Claudius, who has now taken the crown for himself. When Hamlet returns to Horatio, who expresses his bewilderment over the apparition, Hamlet points out that ghosts speaking, and brothers murdering, and wives remarrying may exist outside the moral framework of the average man...but that these things occur in the real world.'

So, my punchline is actually not very verbatim. I'll have move Horatio around to better reflect the original.
