Help

What come's to you mind first. If u r a geek, “F1” is the first thing that comes. More things are worse then this. The great google is there to help you on any topic you need assistance. It’s been a long time since I asked someone for help. Just google it and u will find the answer. I wonder if we go at this rate one day people will forget that God is there to help us & say google will take care of the same.

Catching up

For the last one month it was the best part of my life catching on with people I have missed them for long. This includes attending a friend’s wedding from Austria. The whole weekend was eventful. Then entire gang of people who came wanted to shop for buying saree. It was a fun event. After close to 4 yrs I went of for a big shopping. Close to 7 hours was spent on shopping with a girl. I was surprised 2 sarees, 2 salwar and one skirt and a pair of sandals all done in a span of 3 hours.
Ok here is the picture of the Laura, Birgit, KS & Myself. This is the other picture where Laura is wearing anohter saree. I had to explain all the difference between a mysore silk(various patterns as well) & a pure silk saree.The other times was getting to meet some old friends and in the process get new friends as well. One such person I happened to meet last weekend. I have seen friends who carry similar passion or have similar taste. For the first time I save two friends N & S who are just the replica of one another. What a coincidence, My friend N whom I know in grenoble had come down to Chennai for her sister passing out parade in OTA @ Madras. This is one campus where I wanted to enter in Chennai for a long time. Finally it happened. Ok now with the friends part. Both these people have the same “?” look on their faces. They have not seen each other for long but still the kind of bond they share is amazing. The best part of it was S is seeing N after one year and 10 months. I’m seeing N after close to 5 months. N is one person who falls easily for all my pranks. One person on earth who still thinks what I say to her is all true inspite of getting cheated a lot many times.
What S expected was N would come and give a big hug to S, since she was seeing her after a long time, but it was very sad for S as N extended both hands and embraced both of us, all through the day I was pulling S with that. Then after all the events got over at OTA we went to airport to see off N & her family. By the time we returned it was close to 4 so freshened up and then we to Kapalieshwar temple, Santhome Church & then to the famous Marina beach.

Then I went and dropped S in my cousins house and caught up with the never seen gang. This is a gang of 6 friends who hardly meet as a whole group. True to the group name this time also one fella dropped out.

the search ends


After a long time made it to this place, was looooonging to have the veg burger and finally discovered that the search ends just very close to my office and that too in a walk able distance. So went there and enjoyed the meal this afternoon. What a search it was, went all over the place to eat this veg burger. Didn’t want to venture into the forum mall just for this for the kind of crowd there.

Weekend trip to a Jungle


What would u call this
# U need to pack all u r food & water
# U will be escorted by a gun men all along the route
# there will be crocodiles in the water so swimming not allowed
# u r not supposed to go alone in the forest


Oh yes this is want an adventurous holiday is all about. Yep last weekend went up to the Kabani Jungle lodges & Resort and had a gr8 time.


Though this was a last minute plan still we managed to have a wonderful time. Thanks to Indu for arranging this. Friday evening we go & buy our groceries and arrange for the transportation etc. So we are all are set to leave at 6am on saturday. Here the van comes late no problem we still manage to reach Nagarahole by the afternoon. We unload the baggage and we are set to hit the Kabini river. There we see the beautiful river and there were waves like beach, so much is the impact of the wind.

Then after a visit to the tree house and other things we head back to the resort for our lunch. Oh want a bliss it is to get such a wonderful food. Then after a little rest we go an boat trip on the Kabini river cruise and watch a lot of wild animals. Then back to the resort with an exciting jeep safari, thinking we could spot some tiger or some wild animal. We were not disappointed we spotted a wild buffalos. The night was really wonderful.
On Sunday at the crack of dawn we went for the safari again hoping to spot some tiger. Then we went deep into the forest and had an elephant safari. First time on an elephant safari…. I really like it a lot. Then again went on an safari and spotted some wild animals. In all the trip was good with the sightings of sambhar, spotted deer, elephant, wild boar, wild buffalo, peacock, peahen & a lot of birds.

Boulevard of broken dreams

My dream to Ski at Courchevel still remains a dream. This ski resort is located at the heart of the 3 valleys in France, the largest ski area in the world.
This picture was taken as the Moutier train station last year as I landed up there on the last day of the season and also missed the last bus up to the resort. So the best time pass to go around the town and witness the local market during such time I took the this picture there.
