What's a perfect sunday evening?

Watched a enthralling European Formula 1 Grand prix in which luck & hard work favoured Alonso to win the race.
And then went Suswad's Idli bazaar in CMH road and had Stuffed Idli and chilli paroto (TN style!)
And the squared off the night with Choc-A-Mocca from Corner House Ice cream Parlour(mmm..yummy..tummy filling also)
And a walk in night in the cool breezes of bangalore night!
And a sound sleep!

And that's what i call the perfect sunday evening!!!

And more..the week has started off in cool..I mean it literally..it was drizzling when i was riding the bus and cool air overflowed!

Perfect start for what's going to be a perfect week :-)

One more calvin for this week! just couldn't resist:-)

"People say life is a journey" - thats very very true for bangaloreans :-)

One calvin for this week!

I agree with calvin. i think fun activity should not build any character :-)

Today's fortune in ORKUT!

Today's fortune:
You will pass a difficult test that will make you happier.

I dont know whether i'll pass it or not, but i'm already happier. btw, i dont remember me failing in any (written) test so far, i guess this one will also be cake-walk :-)

27/may/Update:-) I guess i didn't pass the test :-( i was forced to go to a thai restaurant here and i didn't like the food (though i generally yummy anything and everything..)..indigestion perhaps contributed to more troubles..back to normal after having yummy curd rice for dinner :-) i dont want thai food, but thai's (mom in tamil) food is enough!

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY . .

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak
Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion
Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets
Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet
And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around

Life is a gift
Live it.
Enjoy it..
Celebrate it..
And fulfill it..
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY . .

Powerless area and Powerful winds

I think our area (Murugeshpalya) in bangalore is one of the most backward areas in bangalore, I guess. Though this area is close to Airport, it's blessed with powercuts daily for hours, mainly in the evenings so that people get a taste of darkness in their lives.

Couple it with y'day evening's heavy gutsy winds and heavy downpour! Boy oh Boy..what a wind it is. that made sure we were powerless for 12 straight hours through the night.
(in a way, this helps me a bit. atleast i'm not hooked to the TV when i'm at home!)

Hope it continues raining and gives us a pleasant & cool day time :-)

You Orkut?

Have u ever used orkut and if so r u continuing to use orkut regularly?

I think its dead..(its damn slow, most often getting server errors and no girl has added me as friend)

oh, yeah..its dead for sure..i buried it behind my house y'day.

Hmm..nice excuse :-)

Mission Accomplished!

Hey, I could run the 7.2Km celebration run without any issues! Infact, it turned out to be much easier than I expected it to be :-) guess, next time i should prepare and go for the 1/2 Marathon next time!!

Doubt?

Are the dogs in Vegetarian's home (For eg.Brahmin/Iyer etc..) also a veggie?
Do they allow the dog that has munched on some bones, inside the house?

chess game - but i dont play it :-)

Online Chess game(play against the comp)

Thanks Alok, for sending me all these (useless) links, keep it up!

It was good!

It was a good ride, I'd say!
Coming in early(8AM), seeing the world from the window seat in the not-stuck-in-traffic bus, cool breeze blowing after the unexpected early-morning showers, I know today is one of those days :-)

wish every day is like this, but reality bites, sigh!!

Give this a try!

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction………..

break the break!

Ok, Here I'm! after a long silence! There are reasons, but i know they're just excuses and lets not waste time over there!

A lot of new things..changes in my life..
* New job - excitement, hard work and hope that this work will work!
* first time commuting (in a bus) in my lifetime. All along, i've been gifted with closeness :-) My school was stone throw away from my home(my home used to be Tv room for all my classmates during lunchbreak during cricket days..hmm..) and then college-hostel was again walking distance (but to cover these home-school,college-hostel short distance, i used cycles!)..and then work..in bangalore wise men stay close to company and i was wise for the last 4 years and then decided to become un-wise and get a job at rocket throwing distance (aka ITPL)
* Got into stock market (at a good time, i hope) :-)

* Went to GOA one weekend last month!
* Went to chennai for get-to-gether with school buddies on one weekend last month! It was nice seeing them, last time i saw many of them almost 7-8 yrs back..

* Running marathon! Hey, I'm not kidding! ofcourse, not the full run, just Celebration Run. I know its tough to do this 7.2 Km..but i liked a quote i read from Rich Dad Poor Dad, the book which i recently read!
when i doubt, choose the option which is bolder!
ofcourse, this was in context with finance, but i hardly had any money left, that i thought i'll atleast apply it in someother aspects of life..
