This trip was planned at the food court (as always). More to tip, one had a plan to prepare tea and offered a gas stove to prepare tea. second one went ahead to give a complete break to ladies and to prepare a lunch. To me rice items sounded like a best option, so I suggested a puliyogare and curd rice where you only need to prepare a rice and mix. But we all went ahead to prepare a Subji, Rice

INCEPTION movie script to me sounds like a C++ program calling nested subroutines using pointers which in turn returns a pointer to the calling program/routine... a prolonged execution of each routines not causing any delay to called routines is simply a BRILLIANT IDEA.... Special effects meets the expectaions and Awesome creativity. I give 5/5.

Last time I remember it was in 1998 that I attended a team outbound with such a BIG team. That time I was working for an MNC in Hyderabad and event took place in one of the prestigious hotel in Hyderabad and a event that I will carry to remember for this life time.Now almost after 12 years I did a team outbound at a resort on the outskirts of Bangalore. It was a mix of freshers to people in the

Because of Bharath Bandh our office was closed on last Monday and in order to compensate we are working on Saturday. Many a times I have worked on Saturday to clear the back logs but working officially is a different experience. For sure I know there won't be any people from customer / subsidiary who will be waiting our services today (Except for some countries in Middle East, but current I am

I have seen this movie once which is again on Star movies tonight at 9:00. This is a story of a failure and frustrated young American. This guy runs into a night care of two kids who are used to listen bedtime stories before going to sleep. This guy who simply can't agree with the fairy tales which always ends' and they lived happily forever' tells his own story like in a bedtime story books but

During the time when we were in USA, myself and M hit upon a idea to go a trip to LV and LA. We were in Pittsburgh and M's family lived near Milaukee. M insisted we fly together from Chicago to LV. Being christmas time, the flights from PIT to MIL was expensive. Also, given that road trip traverses between many states, the car rental companies declined to provide a car. So we set driving in my

Its been a long since I watched any late night or early morning matches. Last that I could remember was when Indian cricket team travelled to New Zealand for a series in 2008. It was always a challenge either to keep myself awake till 2:00 or wake up as early as 3:30 in the morning (for some ODI in NZ). During my college days I made a practice to sleep all afternoon till evening and then do some

Good one from a financial front... able to return all those free good will loans borrowed from friends and relatives during the home construction. Little hike in the salary and adjustments to the fixed component has given a little extra breathing space... changed my cell phone and Car... got a some furniture and a New television... At work front got in to lead role from a management prospective..

Attended a leadership workshop for last two days. At the begin of the workshop, we were asked to identify a person we almost do not know and spend about 20 min with them before we introduce them to the others. We normally introduce ourselves in any such occasions. There was this PM from our Gurgaon office while introducing a PM from Bangalore (who also happens to be my Buddy)expressed that he

Those days they were called Karnataka Electricity Board or KEB which later got split into two companies KPTCL (Karnataka Power Transmit Corporation Limited) and BESCOM (Bangalore Electricity Supply Company). There use to be a queue-ue-ue-ue in front of one of the windows of a big room building. That will be on the other side of the main entrance. I remember I use to stand there for about 45 min

This is a new sweet/chat stall that has come up near my home. The shop is at the double road junction. about 10 min walking distance from my home.Now we have Banks, ATMs, Supermarket, A Mall with a cinema screen. Couple of good restaurants including Chinese, Pizza.... Still there are few things that are missing. We need one good Darshini, we have one by Adigas, but that is very small and calls

For the second time I saw this movie on the television. Movie is based on a Zen Philosophy without making an attempt to preach the same to the audience. Unlike in other animation movie this has a very less characters. Panda is very hilarious and Kept us laughing almost all the time he appeared on the screen. I would give 5/5 for this movie and don’t mind watching it again

They are here in Bangalore for sometime now, but few weeks back is the first time that I had been their. My cousin is a member he took me to that place few weeks back. He already had a card and got me an add-on one.The layout is exactly similar to Sam's Club in US. Well organised and almost everything is available. The concept is also similar to Sams's club 'Shift my Inventory to your Store room'

I saw in one of TV program that a Swamiji who lives somewhere in the norther part of Karnataka and who is a blind since birth offers a Lemon Honey therapy for people with any sort of Health disorder. His treatment is very very very simple. All he does is just asks the people to go on fasting for as many as 7 to 21 days. During this period the people can only drink Water with a Lemon and Honey.

Last December I got an email from a good old friend of mine who was in a process of winding up his 6 years stint in USA. He gave me an option to choose an Apple iPod or a Digital Photo frame. He had mentioned that he had already picked these items from Costco and I can have one. I took couple of days to think on what I should be selecting. After much of a thought I picked iPod. iPod has become a

Now I take this bus all the way from Channasandra (Uttarahalli-Kengeri Road) to Silk Board and then from there another Volvo to my workplace near Bellanduru Petrol Pump on Outer Ring Road. Way back in mid 90s till the time I moved to US, travelling in city public buses is like degrading myself.

It was a Monday Morning, Ellen was still on bed. This is very unusual, by this time she should have been on I95 heading towards Norwalk Hospital. Marvin closed his eyes again. He slept for three more hours and opened his eyes again. After lying on bed for a long silent minutes he heard some noise from a distant kitchen. He got out of bed and cautiously approached door which was half open. He

Last December we traveled on buses to visit temples in Kukke, Dharmastala, Sringeri and Horanaadu We traveld in both State govt transport and the public transport. Here are the tickets that we collected during our trip. Some of them are unusal atleast for Banglore folks. I remember I use to see such tickets few decades ago when we use to visit our Uncle's place. The Conductors of Private buses

Last Saturday we made a short visit to Pyramid Valley. This campus is developed by the Pyramid Spiritual Societies Movement, founded by Brahmarshi Patriji. My initial plan was to ride a bike rather than taking car but the Sunny Saturday forced me to drive my car. It is not too far though, just located 2Kms before the Harohalli off Kanakarpura Road. 40X40 sqft pyramid is nicely built in the middle

I began my IT career when I joined a Hyderabad based company. I joined 2 other friends from Bangalore in signing up for an apartment that was formerly occupied by a common friend. After the initial hotel stay, we moved to this place. To our utter surprise, we discovered this place was not an apartment but simply a portion of a large house. This portion of the house was separated by a thick

Many years ago, Myself and M worked for the same company. While I was working at a customer location in Nashik, M was based out of our head quarters at Mumbai. I made plans to visit Bangalore along with my wife to celebrate the first deepavali festival after our marriage.Background: If you are new to Indian culture, the deepavali ( or Diwali - the festival of lights) is accorded great importance.

Weekend weather was very lousy … it was cloudy both days. In fact it is been cloudy for last couple of weeks. My new home is surrounded with still lots of open plots plus some coconut and other farms here and there, which results in heavy winds sometime. So I cut down all my outdoor activity and decided to stay at home over a weekend. In fact most of our family members stayed in home and ended

It was around 8:30PM that I reached home on Thursday night. My backpack was on the floor and it was looking bigger that usual. I could not control my curiosity for long. On unzipping I found not my regular financial and academic documents. In stead I saw a pair of chudidhar; a bed spread; air pillow and her regular make up kit. Since previous evening our talks were only on a need basis. She was

This time when I visited Bangalore for a quick 20 day vacation, visiting Mahesh's new home construction site was one of the top priorities. He had already put some much of detail, interest, pressure on me that I simply had to go there!. The visit did not materialize even after day 10.
