I had to travel to Chennai and came via Air Deccan. I was getting into Bangalore airport after a long time and its a total mess !!! With all the new airlines, these guys have no clue how to manage the crowd. It will soon look like out railway station.Air Deccan - The fares are good. The service is not bad. Its a no frills airline. My first look at the aircraft and I thought to myself "It looks

Well, there were rumors that 'this' person will die in the Half Blood Prince. But I always argued against this. Maybe it was wishful thinking. The book was great.. But I am disappointed that J.K.Rowling chose to kill this character. :-(Obviously I cant relieve the name. It would be a spoiler for the millions of fans out there.

For the last 1 month, I am totally hooked on this game. Its really interesting. The first thing I do when I take the paper is go and finish this puzzle. And the challenge is to keep reducing the time I take to finish it.I have never been much of a 'crossword' person, but this simple and interesting puzzle has me hooked.Go try it..

Thanks for all your wishes. No, I did not get married "Just Like That" as some of you have asked. We have been waiting for this for almost 5 years. I did not want to jinx it by saying anything. So, thats the reason for the silence; and of course, the loads of work that had to be done. We had only a close circle of friends for the wedding. People who know us well and could really share our

I found a railway reservation counter at the Bangalore aiport. This isreally useful for so many travellers.I think they should bring up more of these kind of counters and reducethe load they have on booking counters at Cantontment, Indranagar andother BDA complexes.

I had to make a trip to Mumbai. I landed in Kurla station and this taxi guy kept taggig along and asking me where I wanted to go. Ignoring him, I reached the taxi stand. He kept nagging me and against my better judgement, I decided to go with that guy. (I am still wondering why the hell I did that!)We had to go to Vile Parle. Normally, I would go via Andheri, but this guy said that road is

Blogger has been blocked at office. :-(Thats the reason I am not able to comment on quite a few good posts I have been reading the last 10 days. Only thing is, I dont have time to login from home and do some blog hopping. Its going to be very hectic for the next few weeks.. Saw "Basha" for the nth time today and I still enjoy it. :-)I am yet to see Chandramukhi and Mumbai Express. I have been

I stay at the end of a narrow road.. its just about enough for 2 large vehicles to go through.There is an apartment coming up at the beginning of this road. For the past 1 week, the trucks and lorries coming with material for this road, block the road. There is hardly 2 feet left for other vehicles to go. To top it all, they have dumped all their stones and mud onto the road.I am not sure which

Chandramukhi is being screened in Innovative Multiplex and at PVR.Mumbai Express also.. but in Hindi !! This is a let down. They could have had atleast one of the shows as Tamil.. But I guess they wanted to avoid the confusion.

I was seeing "Police Academy" today. I remember I really enjoyed it when I saw it the first time long back.And it was good fun today also. :-)That somehow reminded me of "Mind your language"; The classic series with Mr. Brown as the English teacher.Anyone knows where I can get the CDs in Bangalore ?

Firstly, thanks all you people for all your encouraging words and support. I know people say that what I did was brave and all that.. But honestly, I just reacted... and thinking back, it was not a very calculated reaction.. I just did what I felt I had to do then.. and I feel there are loads of people out there who have done something braver.. Thinking back I feel I should have hit the guy back

It was about 8.00 PM. It was a Tuesday evening. April 1st. Fools Day. I got down from the auto, had a fight with the driver for his faulty meter; paid him only what I usually pay.

I have clearly stated below in my mail that this is the pay slip which my company provides us; and further to that, the pay slip states that this requires no further authorization.

There has been a lot of blogging on the tsunami and people have volunteered to help out in the affected areas. There are others who have contributed either monetary or material help.

I need to get my port flushed every month. Normally, when I get it done at Apollo, Chennai, they charge me Rs. 90 for this. I provide all the necessary material for this. Since I am at Bangalore now, I needed to get it flushed here. I consult a doctor here locally.

There are a lot of comments on my previous post and I thought its better to answer all that with a new one. If you want to promote a drug, it should be a Doctor and not a model wearing white coat. This should be banned too. I disagree with this. Even if this was banned, the only thing that would happen is that we would get to see the good looking doctors promoting the drug. How do I know this?

I went to Kapaleeswarar temple this morning. Somehow, the feeling that I get in this temple, I don’t get in any of the temples at Bangalore. (Too commercialized? I dont know.) Even Kapaleeswarar temple has become more commercial in the last few years; but I still feel it’s much better than quite a few other temples. I can see loads of changes here after the kumbhabhishekam. It is neater than

The build up was so much;the day flew by and before I knew it, it’s over. Well, I still got 3 days to recover from all the fun. :-) Got a wakeup call from my sister at 4.45 and then there was no going back to sleep. Put a little oil on my hair for tradition’s sake and then out of the house by 5.30... The morning saw just a sample of the crackers that were to come in the evening... as we were

I am back at Chennai after a long gap of six months.. That’s a long gap considering that I was at Bangalore that is an overnight journey from here. The train journey was fine except for the fact that the guy on the side berth was snoring so badly, it sounded like somebody had set fire to crackers there!! Normally, I get down at Central and take the bus from there; but today, when I reached the

Yes, We are the proud owners of an apartment in the city of Bangalore. Finally got the flat registered yesterday. After all the struggles and fights with the builder, that one moment of realisation when I signed on the document was worth it. A Diwali gift!! :-))

Tried the microwave.. but I was not able to use the conventional oven. The guy who came for the demo knew only Kannada and I had no clue what he was trying to say.. So, I had to send him back. And so made the cake using the microwave option and it was a total disaster !! :-(( Only saving grace of the weekend, the sweets I made for Deepavali turned out well.

I am waiting to try out the microwave that we got last weekend. Since we got the festival offer, we got a lot of add-ons. There's going to be a good amount of baking and cooking this weekend. :-)

I needed a connection for internet at home. I was using BSNL till sometime back; but since I was shifting houses often, I thought I will go with a wireless connection. I went with Reliance - Rs 1000 package. While taking the connection, I told them that this was mainly for internet purposes as I already carry a mobile. (I thought that this meant that even if I don’t make any calls, my minimum

On the way to office, there was a traffic jam at a signal.. Just when I am wondering why the traffic lights are not functioning and where the cops were, I can see three of them on one side of the road. They were totally oblivious to the jam and looking at something. On closer examination, I realised that they were admiring the seargent's mobile phone !! Wish I had a camera with me at that time !!

I saw this on Sify.. Crackers Just reading the list of crackers makes me smile.. I am waiting to burst the crackers on Deepavali.. Yes, I know about pollution.. But I am hoping that one day in a year can be excused.. And also I am conscious of the environment on all the other days.. My favorites are the ones that just light up in all splendid colors.. Not the ones causing a whole lot of sound.

I was fascinated with the way Malayalees celebrate Vijayadasami.. The books are all sent to the temple a day before Saraswati pooja. The books are then placed in front of Goddess Saraswati in the temple and there the puja is performed. On Vijayadasami, kids starting their learning are made to sit in front of the Goddess and the namboodhari writes "Hari Sri Ganapathaya namaha" on the kid's tongue

I am trying to do a lot of things and so no time to post in the last few days.. I am supposed to learn a few things on the functional side am trying to read all the documents that I can. Unfortunately, the more I think that I have only 10 more days for this, the less gets into my head.. Its just like in school before the history exam !! The more I thought about it, the less went into my brain !

In Bangalore curently, its a builder regime.. They rule. I am having so many problems with my builder that I can have a seprate blog just for that. And its not just me.. there are otheres I know who are having simlar problems.. Its just varying degrees. With the real estate market the way it is in Bangalore, things can only get worse. When I ask the builder what happened to customer service;

One of the blogs in cio.com - Bharati Televentures outsourced their hardware, software and services to IBM in France and United States. Since salaries here are increasing at the rate of 20% annually, some companies in India are outsourcing their operations. Several African nations are getting into the outsourcing game and analyst Phil Fersht, The Yankee Group predicts that India's outsourcing

J.K.Rowling has revealed that one more character will be killed in "Half Blood Prince". This has set off a whole new debate on who it could be. Since it was one of the "good" guys last time, I am hoping that she kills one of the death eaters this time around.. Personally, I would like it to be Lucius Malfoy.. But due to the huge success of this character in the movie version, I doubt it could be

Why do most movies portray cancer patients as dying ? I think science has improved a lot since of the days of when cancer meant sure death.. I think movies are one major reason why when people hear the word CANCER, they think that its the end of life.. It is not... !!!! There's life before cancer, life with cancer and life after.. So, people in the movie industry, please change your storylines

Why do we get addicted to TV Serials? When my mom was here, she used to watch serials on Sun TV between 9 and 10 at night. Since I used to watch these with her, I got hooked to them. Now, I see them everyday. I am still at office and I am wondering what is happening in the serial now... And since its a friday, there will some major build up! I keep cribbing about how pathetic the serial is ..

Two of my all time Cartoon favorites 1. Dilbert - for the simple reason that I can identify with this totally. Scott Adams has created one of the all time hits of the century. Some of the suggestions for Dilbert's Ultimate House are hilarious. Take a look at http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/duh/ 2. Calvin and Hobbes - Amazing !! Calvin simply rules..

Rajni's new film is Chandramugi.. not Jaggu Bhai.. This was not a surpising news.. What is surprising is that this is based on the Malayalam movie "Manichitrathazhu". This movie is considered a classic and Shobana has won the National award for this. I wonder how a typical Rajni movie could be based on this where the girl's character plays a very important role. How will this story be adapted to

Most of the working mothers I know have a crazy schedule. Wake up by 5 - 5.30, cook breakfast and lunch , get their kid ready for school, pack lunches for the enire family and finally get to their office. On any particular day, they cant say "I will eat outside today as I am too tired to cook" or " I need a break today" as they have to pack lunch for their kid anyway. What a life.. I wonder

The pollution in Bangalore will soon kill all the people here. I can understand when uneducated people drive vehicles that are constantly coughing up smoke. But, what I see is that there are equal number of well educated people who dont care about this. Standing behind one of these for about five minutes is a sure shot way to die ! Kids seems to be more affected by this. I know somebody who has
