Unveil the Other Side

There she lies on bed reading the thriller she'd borrowed from Mrs. Iyer living next door. Her gaze stuck to the mid pages, Krupa was completely engrossed in the chapter "Theft". Dwaraki returned from work early that evening. There was no response from Krupa in spite of numerous door bells.  He opened the window of drawing room, tried to get the spare keys that lay on the table, by stretching his hands. There was a sudden shriek of a known voice. That's when Krupa realized her folly. Dwaraki was discharged a week later after his forelimbs were back to normal.

There will be more coming.

The season of festivals is just round the corner. It was Onam last week. Last year I had a story of how different onam had been to me. Come this year, it was no less. It was a fun filled day at office. So what was unique that made the day stand out from the rest. With a mail sent out to everyone in the organization about just 20 hours before the events brought a rise in activities on all floors. I could hear whispers, tittles and tattles about each of the 3 events - Pookolam, No-fire cooking [yes literally no fire was to be used, no microwave too :) ] and Best traditionally dressed person. It was decided that a group of 6 would make a team for both pookolam and no-fire cooking competitions. I was a part of the latter group and I tell you leading a project is cent percent easier than thinking something on the fly to cook without fire. Finally we had a menu fixed just before we left from office but was not sure how we'd pull it off. The plan was to have a frui...

There are days when there is absolutely not a moment to walk out of the cubicle and there are days when you need to find tasks to kill the time.That is corporate life or I'd say that is exactly the world I'm from. The nothing to do days are needed as a reviving factor when your energy has burnt out and you need some time for healthy relaxation.No it isn't the vacation time that is being talked about. I would like to tell how to use the no-work time while you have to still sit in front of the mother of inventions - Computer. Okay, make sure you are aware of where you are positioned on the floor before you even try the tips below. These are especially for the ones who sit in a remote corner and their monitors are so placed that it cannot be viewed from any angle except from the front(that's obvious I know). 1. If you had to rush to office with the thought of avoiding the peak-hour traffic then I bet you have not peeped into the morning newspaper. Now don't ask me ...

In the garden while I was clicking photos of flowers here is what I found. A bug/insect that was just born. 2 Days later I went to see if luck permits to capture the bug fully grown in size. Here is the capture. For other takes on the theme from around the world please visit here

ಜಟಕಾ ಗಾಡಿಗಳು ಇನ್ನೂ ನಮ್ಮ ರಸ್ತೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಓಡಾಡ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದಾವೆ ಅಂದ್ರೆ ಅದು ಒಂದು ಆಶ್ಚರ್ಯದ ಸಂಗತಿ ಅಂತಾನೆ ಹೇಳಬಹುದು . "ಚಕ್ರ/ಗಾಲಿ" ಕಂಡು ಹಿಡಿದ ನಂತರ, ಮನುಷ್ಯ ಹಿಂತಿರುಗಿ ನೋಡಿಲ್ಲ. ಗಾಡಿಗಳ ಅನ್ವೇಷಣೆ/ಆವಿಷ್ಕಾರಗಳು ದಿನೇ ದಿನೇ ಹೆಚ್ಚುತ್ತಲೇ ಇದೆ. ಈಗಂತೂ ಮಂಗಳ ಗ್ರಹಕ್ಕೂ ಗಾಡಿ ಕಳುಹಿಸಿ ಬಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ನನಗೆ ಟಾಂಗ/ಜಟಕಾ ಗಾಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೋದ ಅನುಭವ ಇಲ್ವೇ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಹೋಗಬೇಕೆಂಬ ಆಸೆಯಂತೂ ಇದೆ.ಅದ್ಯಾವಾಗ ಕುಲಾಯಿಸತ್ತೋ ನೋಡೋಣ. ಈಗಿನ ಇಂಧನಗಳಿಂದ ಚಾಲಿತ ವಾಹನಗಳ ಸವಾರಿಗಿಂತ ಟುಕ್ಕುಟುಕ್ಕು ಅಂತ ನಿಧಾನವಾಗಿ ಸಾಗೋ ಜಟಕಾ ಬಂಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೋಗೋ ಮಜಾ ಸವಿಯಲು ಕಾತುರದಿಂದ ಕಾಯುತಿರುವೆ .ಸಧ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಈ ಆಸೆ ಯಾಕೆ ಬಂತು ಅಂದ್ರೆ, ಇವತ್ತು ನಾನು ಆಫೀಸಿಗೆ ಬರೋವಾಗ ರಸ್ತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಟಾಟಾ ಇ೦ಡಿಕಾ ಗಾಡಿಯ ಮುಂದೆ ಸಾಗುತಿದ್ದ ಜಟಕಾ ಬಂಡಿಯೇ ಕಾರಣ. ಅಲ್ಲೇ ನನ್ನ ಸೆಲ್ ಫೋನ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ಲಿಕ್ ಮಾಡಿದ ಫೋಟೋ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಇದೆ. ನಿಮಗೆ ಟಾಂಗಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಸವಾರಿ ಮಾಡಿದ ಅನುಭವ ಇದ್ರೆ ಹಂಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ.   Gist: I want to know how it feels to get a ride in a "Tanga". I have not had an opportunity to sit in one of them all these years. I'd want to do this sometime in the future. That picture was clicked today on the way to my office. Yeah we s...
