Beyond Horizons...

Bonjour les amis, Enough is enough, I mean how long a person can hide his/her ignorance about something. You see, you read, you hear and on top of it you hear other people using it and still no shiny stars around your head. So here is a start... The other day I was reading this advertisement about new restaurant which had brief of the cuisine as well. So keeping with my reputation, with full excitement and cheer I called my friend that sometime we'll visit this restaurant called à la carte, and the response was where did you find/read this? (So what? expected response was 'Cool'). So after some intellectual discussion it turned out that name of the place is different and whatever I understood is to tell customers what is on the menu card. and that turned out to be an alarm for me to improve(build) my french vocab. And here today I started to learn about some cool french words :) There are some words which are commonly used these days. like 'adieu' from all my collea...

Watching beautiful sunrise, taking deep breaths of fresh morning air and ozone(% of ozone in morning air is more), seeing 5 AM in a watch and taking a 6 KM walk that too on a week-end...Huh!! Dude wake up from your dream... Few days back it was just a dream, then on last Saturday my crazy half mind says lets run...it was 5 AM. Not that it was happening for the first time, this time its just other crazy half agreed to it. And this is how my dream turned into a reality. Where on week-ends it’s a rule to not to wake up before 11, I was all set to go out by 6. Decided to take a walk in famous Lalbag Botanical Garden. Beautiful place, all green, cool and always fresh. All my guests who are new to Bangalore I make it a point to take them to this place ;) As I enter into lalbag I saw people doing all types of exercises, all geared up in track suits, wearing special running shoes, putting ear phones etc. Considering my attire, I can say I surely stand out the crowd. Lalbag is stretched across ...

Unlike my other official trips, this trip was planned in advance so fortunately I got tickets to travel by Train. If it’s like 6-10 hrs journey then they give option for either Bus or Train, journey longer than this they give us flight tickets. So it was Bangalore-Chennai Shatabdi express departing Bangalore at 4:25 PM and reaching Chennai around 9:30 PM. I read somewhere Shatabdi is one of the super class trains run by Indian railways, so was pretty much excited boarding it very first time. Following Indian Railways tradition the train started 20 minutes late from Bangalore. We were yet to cross Bangalore city and they served snacks. A sandwitch, a Mango drink, samosa and Biscuits. By the time snacks was over, they started serving tea/coffee. I was surprised when my fellow passenger ordered Milk instead. Surprise was not milk, it was for he asking for it in the train. Indian Railways entertaining customized demands, amazing. By the time snacks trays and other things were cleaned it wa...

Millions of ships, out there sailing in an ocean, But each one has to stand alone at its mission. Somehow it has to happen in a particular way, However its not always as you say. You see, you think, you care, You act, and still you suffer while you fight. -Dude, Just do it. I know you can. and stop bothering about too many things.....Its you, only you.

It has been almost two weeks I wanted to write about my Chennai Trip. Not that it was great or something but just wanted to write. It was actually a Business trip, so as usual was communicated to me on 11th hour. Unwillingly I agreed to go by bus (Bangalore-Chennai). If it is long journey and if it is a bus in my case it will always be 'unwillingly'. Journey started at 11 PM from Bangalore, reached Chennai around 5:30, as expected all Auto people jumped seeing prospect customer. not meeting their expectations I walked for a while and stopped one auto and told him the address. Not told actually mumbled because I couldn't pronounce the word even after practicing it at least 20 times. It was 'Nungumbakkam'. Many people told me that in Chennai, language' will be a barrier...true. I had a tough time communicating guest-house care taker/Auto drivers. My meeting was scheduled at 11 AM, When I was about to leave care taker came and started talking, he talked almost for ...

Some lines that bollywood has gifted are so catchy. Like "Main kahan hoon?" , "Kutte kamine main tera khoon pi jaunga", "Mai tumhare bina nahin jee sakta/sakti" , "Jug Jug jiyo beta/beti " (ye 'jug jug' kya hai I still dont know. I know only trainwala 'Zug Zug' ), Kanoon ke haath lambe hote hai, tum isse kabhi bach nahi paoge...." etc etc. However boring, repetitive, meaningless these lines are I still like some. *I still enjoy Sunny Deols dialogues from 'Damini' and Amitabh Bachchans many lines from many movies. I enjoy even more when these reel lines are used in real; what a marvellous effect they have! Some similar spontaneity relating to such usage... Today I was cleaning my house (Yeah I do it once in a while) , and wanted to remove window curtains. Then somehow I couldn't. However its not because my hands did not reach, its just those curtain hangers are hanging way too high. Apparently same time my friend c...

Summer, Monsoon, winter these are the seasons at least I am familiar with. (They say in polar regions Spring and Autumn are different from Summer and Winter.....like anybody would believe that) Do a persons life have seasons? yes I guess it does. I am not sure about the seasons in other peoples life, but mine are quiet random and these days are going wild too ;) My seasons vary in terms of duration they last for, frequency at which they occur. These days I am also experiencing cross-seasons(Mix of two). Popular seasons are Food, Movie, Sleeping, Fighting etc. In each of these season single priority task is to execute The Theme . Like in food season eating lots of food, no matter what I eat how much I eat I never get full. In a Movie season watching movies like anything, seen/unseen. In sleeping season sleeping like never slept in a whole life and in a fighting season fight with whoever comes along on the first thing that comes to mind and this way all seasons continue. Currently Movie ...
