Love is something that should be shared, with not just one person, but everyone! This was how it all started. He started it. Thus he continued, "I'm not gonna marry anyone!" And with that he stated, he's not talking about any age limit, but as such no one. The line, he stated, is still reverberating in my ears. "My mom is insisting to tie a knot. I want to live my life on my own!" "If she wants her grand child, my brother is always there." "Getting married at 23 or for that matter, any age and later realising that it was a grave mistake, no i don't wanna do this." "Thus, imagine getting married at 23 and at 28 you/she realises that she/you are not the one, and BTW you've kid. What will you do?" Valid question - I pondered. "You get married and you are, thus, forced to love her." "And few years later, you have a kid and you are standing in a queue for his/her LKG admission. I don't think I'm ready f...

Yet another trip and yet another account. Vrooooooommmm.... No it's not the Honda that's speeding away, it's the josh-machine Ford's iKon. I was blessed to be on this mean machine to transport myself to the world's richest temple (Is there a contender?), Tirupati. The whole drive constituted 250kms or greater of wilderness, human habitation (former beating the latter), lakes, hills and what not? Blimey! It was on ammaaaazing start!!!

We started on Friday at 1500hrs and reached the Tirupati at 1930hrs. Purpose: to attend our ex-team-member's (Nagendra, at present employed in iNautix) Marriage. We reached on-time for the reception, the time as...

The deisre to write about my home town never struck me. May be sometime in the future i'll be writing about it. May be it was beacuse i never stayed away from her for that long! I'll write... Bangalore -Thru my eyes. Am hardly a year old in this city, the account here is something "thru-my-eyes". I'm not criticizing the place but just laying out the pros and cons. If there's anything wrong, correct me. Bangalore, capital of Karnataka, a place known for its beautiful locations! I stay at Basavangudi, and a place near to it is Jayanagar. Jayanagar, Asia's largest colony - Divided into 'n' blocks (cannot find how many!!!). And a place for shoppers to stop is the Fourth block. Rest, n-1, is fully residential (so is Fourth block, but couldn't digest to say so!). At fourth block you'll find something called BDA (Bangalore Development Agency or something like that). These BDAs, you'll find them scattered all over the city. These are like the o...
