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. [...]
First Job Memories: Fun Times at a Browsing Center
My first job, according to my CV would be the one that I had in a Bangalore-based tech firm starting September 2004, soon after I had completed my engineering studies. Truth be told, my first job was one that I had soon after I had completed class 12. In July 2000, I'd taken the Karnataka CET and was waiting for the engineering admissions [...]
My Experiments with Fooding
One glance at me and you'd probably not be able to figure out that I live to eat.

2010: The year that was – Part 1
I'd written a post at the start of last year to document personal milestones / accomplishments / fun things that took place in my life in 2009 and when I look back on it, I realize that the content in that post brings back memories of times that have been relegated to the back of my head, primarily due to other, more immediate things that seem to [...]
The Curious Case of the Gulti Cops at the Jor Bagh Metro Station
Its been six months since I've lived in Gurgaon and it seems as though there's never been a dull moment when I was here. Wait. Who am I kidding? There have been tons of dull moments that have been interspersed with few random occurrences or peaks that have more than amply compensated for the lull. In between life-changing decisions [...]
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 [...]
