Unveil the Other Side

Me, a sub-unit of this well known Silicon-World called MNC’s, working in one of the IT giants located in a major business hub in Bangalore, its plain and simple to go munch on a well-spread-buffet in a nearby restaurant as often as it may be. If there is to be a definition to the frequency of such kinds of visits then probably a random algorithm best fits in. No specific day, no specific reason, we are hungry - we head out to the nearest eat-out. It’s not that easy as it sounds. For those specific hygiene freaks, the options nail down to a very few restaurants that stand up to their standards, but for the happy-go-lucky-ones like me even a golgoppa wala[Indian Street chats] on the road would be more than fine to substitute a light meal. There is a Cafeteria stationed in almost every premise but hell with their quaality of food and their high rates. Who would want to eat the dry-tasteless Rotis [Indian breads] with “Yelloooooooooooooooooooooow” Dal [I am exaggerating for sur...

Its been ages since I made a cartoon strip. Here is one for some smiles.

Its been a long time escape from my blog. MIA mainly because of the technical glitches. Okay now to get to the fact lets see whats happening on my side of the world that I have to share. I've been busy with home, work and other miscellaneous activities. A lot of shopping, a lot of cooking, and some time spent on painting - Time is just wading away. With Nagpanchami marking the start on the festivals in India have been busy with a lot of fun filled activities. Some highlights to mention from the missing period: 1. Participation in Painting competition in Office and winning of course. Here is a glimpse of what I painted. 2. Participating in pookalam(Rangoli with Flowers) for the Onam celebrations - A team effort shown below. Bad luck as this did not win the prize though got a special mention by a lot of co-workers.:( At home have been cooking and baking a lot of things. You can visit my food blog for some updates. I have not forgotten my other hobbies - pho...

ತಂಪಾದ ಮುಂಜಾನೆ ಮಂಜು ಬೀಳೋ ಸದ್ದಿನಲಿ ಕೇಳಿಸಿದೆ ನನ್ನಯ ಹೆಸರು ನಿನ್ನದೇ ದನಿಯಲಿ ಪಿಸುಗುಡುತ ಮಾತೊಂದ ಕಿವಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಇಟ್ಟ ಹಾಗೆ ಇಬ್ಬನಿಯ ಒಂದು ಹನಿ ಎಲೆಯ ಮಡಿಲ ಸೇರಿದೆ ಮಲ್ಲಿಗೆಯ ಗಿಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಳಿ ಹಾಸಿಗೆ ಚೆಲ್ಲಿದ ಹಾಗೆ ಮನವು ಶುಬ್ರ ಬಿಳಿಯ ಹಾಳೆಯಾಗಿದೆ ರಂಗು ರಂಗಿನ ರಂಗೋಲಿ ದಿನಕರನಿಗೆ ಉದಯ ಹಾಡಿರಲು ಹಕ್ಕಿಯ ಗುನುಗಿನ ಚಿಲಿಪಿಲಿಯಲಿ ಹೊಸ ರಾಗ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದೆ ಭತ್ತದ ತೆನೆ ಮೇಲೆ ಚಿನ್ನದ ಕಿರಣ ನಲಿಯುತಿರಲು ನನ್ನ ಕಣ್ಣು ತೆರೆದಾಗ ಸಂತೋಷದ ಸಾಗರ ಹರಿದಿದೆ - ಅಶ್ವಿನಿ

That describes all the fun "we" had at Wayanad. Here Wayanad I come again. It was Unplanned,not forseen, a never-dreamt of event.A friend DB had made a vague reservation at a wild resort in Wayanad - "Coffe Acres". I shall not forget to mention that it was YD's elaborate research on the resorts that really helped. Yo!! 3 Cheers. She will be the official research specialist henceforth when we plan a trip. You hearing?  A couple from chennai(DB & DK),a couple from Hyderabad(MB & RJ) and a couple from Bangalore(AN & SV) + YD consititue "We". DB & DK reached Bangalore early Saturday morning. The Chennai mail got them here by 5. As always the religious, loyal and reliable Indian railways, one of the trains had to be late. This time it was the one from Hyderabad. The train was delayed by an hour. The always lazy YD, had taken the initiative this time to make this trip possible. All of us needed this well deserved break from the sti...
