  • I am connected

    We have an internet connection at home now and that too one that works real quick. Setting up our home is almost complete except for getting the washing machine to work. Ramki and Kost, my apartment mates went to see the movie Omen yesterday. I couldn’t accompany them as I…

  • M.S. Sheela @ HN Kalakshetra, Bangalore

    M.S.Sheela gave a carnatic vocal concert at Dr. HN Kalakshetra, National College, 7th Block, Jayanagar, Bangalore yesterday.

  • Sanjay @ Bangalore Gayana Samaja

    Percussive Arts Centre celebrated “Talavadhyotsav”, its music concert fest last week at the Bangalore Gayana Samaja auditorium in K.R. Road, Bangalore. I came to know about the fest only on Friday and hence managed to attend Sanjay Subramanyam‘s vocal concert that day. Sanjay, as usual, performed really well. The kamboji…

  • Fa-Naa …. naa …. naaa

    The perfect example of how a movie could be spoilt despite having a good star cast is Fanaa. Saw the movie at PVR, Bangalore two days back. Though Aamir Khan and Kajol try their best to infuse life into a otherwise dead movie, their efforts bear no fruit. As my…

  • A day in heaven

    One of the places on this planet which could qualify as heaven for employed youth is the Infy campus at Mysore. Our batch of B-School grads who joined Infy this month went to the Mysore campus for a day to participate in a session on team building and needless to…

  • ISB Alumni Meet

    ISB alumni in Bangalore met over lunch on Sunday. The alumni from our batch outnumbered the alumni from all the other batches. We primarily exchanged contact information with alumni from the earlier batches and came to know a bit more about those who were present there. I think the interactions…

  • Venice of India?

    Thats what you would probably call Bangalore if you are present in the city just after a 10 minute downpour. Even a prolonged drizzle is enough to convert the roads in the city to waterways. The consequences? Of course, traffic jams everywhere (they would be there even without the rains),…

  • Found a house at last

    After searching for a house for nearly everyday after office hours along with two of my batchmates, I have managed to finally find one and shift in. I will be posted in Bangalore, at least for some time to come. The stop for the office bus is at a manageable…

  • Life these days

    Here is how a typical day of mine looks like these days: 5:45AM – Wake up 7:00AM – Catch the bus to office 8:30AM – Induction starts after a good breakfast. Go and SIT (Sleep In Training) 12:30PM – Time for lunch 1:30PM – Post lunch session start 5:30PM –…

  • Looking for South Indian food in B’lore?

    If you are looking for some really good South Indian food in Bangalore then come over to MTR. Ramki took me and two other friends to Mavalli Tiffin Rooms (or MTR in short), a very old restaurant located near Lalbagh, just a few feet away from the Lalbagh-Fort road today…

  • Some observations

    * The number of ants in the office campus seems to be much less than the number of employees 🙂 * The time taken to return from office is more than the time taken for a class at ISB to finish (2 hrs+) * The number of one-way roads in…
