Bangalore Palace Grounds Concerts – A Survival Guide
I recently had a chance to attend a press conference that formally announced that Metallica would be playing in Gurgaon at the end of next month as part of the F1 Rocks extravaganza. The press conference was sort of redundant because pretty much everyone I know has already picked up their tickets for the show and will be attending it either in [...]
The Good and the Bad
There is one vital life lesson that I have learnt during my movement from Gurgaon to Bangalore. It is that even if you skimp out and are a cheapo so far as getting a wedding ring for your wife is concerned, never ever ever ever try to cut corners with your packers and movers. I paid what I thought was a reasonable rate for the books, clothes, [...]
Back in Bangalore, Back to Bedlam
I'm sitting comfortably in the living room of my new apartment in JP Nagar phase 2 in Bangalore as I type this blog post. It is raining and the diffused light makes it look like twilight outside, instead of in the middle of the afternoon. I had lived in Bangalore until 31st March 2009, following which, I had lived in Hyderabad and in Gurgaon. [...]
Stories Boarding Passes Tell
I have come to realize over time that I collect items of little or no monetary value and place them without a passing thought in random places and forget about them, until something happens to trigger a chain of thoughts, which is what this blog post essentially comprises of. For instance, my wallet contains a ticket stub for the second day of [...]
My Experiments with Fooding
One glance at me and you'd probably not be able to figure out that I live to eat. My passion for quality food consumption is second to none and as a result, I've subject my digestive system to numerous experiments over the years and I'm good to go for many more. I was just involved in a discussion on cookery shows with another buddy of mine, [...]
2010: The Year That Was – Part 2
A self-imposed limit on the size of blog-posts has led to me breaking down extremely lengthy posts into two or more parts, as the occasion demands it. The story so far documents the highlights of my life and times in the first half of 2010 with the rest to follow here onwards. July 2010: June 2010 made me realize that the feeling of [...]
Life on a Metro, Option 44 and Other Nonsense
Sloth, greed and gluttony (3 out of 7 ain't bad) over the weekend has resulted in my not being able to post more about my Dharamshala trip, which, after as short as two weeks seems quite far away. But a new routine and an altered work schedule might just help me remedy that in the days ahead. * Option 44: Gurgaon has 43 malls. Yes. While I [...]
Weekends in the NCR
After moving out of home in 2004, Gurgaon is the third city that I have lived in after Bangalore and Hyderabad. In Bangalore, my weekend planning was initially governed by when I would leave the city to head to Mysore. When things settled in and I began discovering, exploring and understanding Bangalore, and eventually falling in love with the [...]
