Goodbye Sunshine...

Today they come to take my first love away,
To show the auditors they say.
Tears well up, there is a lump in my throat
A painful adieu ,heartfelt gratitude,
To My M800, My Sunshine, my friend.

I love it around my neck!

Its BLACK!
Its great to hold!
It has the ability to transform "just another girl" to a "must be pro" in the eyes of the laymen.
Its my CANON EOS Rebel XS 18-55 IS SLR!!

Ind v/s Aus Day 3 , Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore

Yup! I was there! And the innings was a complete entertainer. The crowd was fantastic and Harbhajan's innings had us applauding throughout. Even every defensive stroke was appreciated. It is better than getting out right! We walked into the stadium when India was 147/4 ,with Dravid and Ganguly at the wickets ,and walked out when Kumble came in to bat. Well, fair enough right? I was busy recording close to 40 video on my SE C702 and Brett Lee was'nt too far from sight ;-)

On my usual rapid readings of myriad articles, I found an interesting one about a topic I follow intently. The MBA phenomenon. Here is the link to it.

A good look at the comments section quite opens up the topic for debate on various fronts.

The Return back to Reality!

As I promised here is the final of the 3 part description of my ooty road trip with my friends......

After exactly 24 hrs of stay in Ooty, we finally filled up the fuel tank in preparation for our journey back to Bangalore. Once we reached the city limits we were directed by the police to a different direction than the one we had arrived Ooty at. It was the state highway bypassing the Kalatti Ghats. The journey time is increased by an hour but the experience of passing through lush green tea gardens and tall eucalyptus trees as old as time covered by an umbrella of fog is simply, amazing!

The scenic country side and the winding roads make one stand still while time passes by.
The Tea Gardens make you want to run through them
The highway goes via Pykara Boat House. We did not have the chance to stop there, maybe next time. The route converges with the origional route directly at Mudumulai. So if you were planning to stop for lunch at all the resorts you saw while heading towards Ooty, they no longer fall in your path.

Mudumulai bid us farewell with heavy showers. Well, now the trip had it all. Sun,Fog,Rain. we were happy that hail did not break our windshield! After a challenging drive throught the forest we finally entered the bamboo forests of Bandipur followed by speedy drive upto JungleLodges. Stay longer 5th gear. The steady rain kept us company. A very late lunch was finally had at the JungleLodges , bandipur. From then on it was a quite drive upto Mysore road. Coffee at CCD at 6pm finally made us realise that the road trip had come to an end. Sigh. I was completely in favour of starting the engine and heading back. But as the saying goes, blah blah.

All in all, this trip truly turned out to be one of the best road trips I have done so far. Somehow , everything just magically fell into place. How nice it is when that happens.How rare it is that it happens!

The reminiscing never stops.

Rejuevenated. Refreshed. Road trip.

Mango Showers in September!

No this is not some meteorological phenomenon or climate change, but just an annual get together of Mangaloreans and Goans in Bangalore where music rules the show! Its like a party in Goa with good music, drinks and well i wish i could say good food but sadly , it was a disappointment. A big one! But who cares when you have lovely music to suit myriad tastes and friends. There is the hip and happening music playing for all those party people who want to let their hair down. But more importantly there is lovely jive and country numbers played by a live band where you can either sharpen your ballroom dance skills or show them off. Your pick.

So on 27th September 2008, my goan friends in bangalore and I , dressed for the occasion set off for an evening of dance and music.
