How is to experience flying in the air? the answer is amazing provided that you are safely seated in the parachute. Last year as a part of team building activity we were taken to a place close to Bangalore where we could para glide and also a to a hilly range - Antharagange near Kolar for cave exploration.We reached a plain ground which was once a big lake and now dried up.

Almost everyday I remember my friends from school(s), pre-uni and college. I never kept in touch with my old friends as I moved on with my education. Though I had good relationship with most of them, I lost touch with them. As to adjust to the new environment, I was loosing touch as if I was peeling of the clothes. I did not have any close friends then nor do I have anybody now. Until today I

If the weather is warm, I with my colleagues take a walk in the huge and beautiful park which is just opposite to my office. It is called Carlton gardens. Next to it is Melbourne Exhibition building.

Wow... what an energy displayed by Hariharan for 4 hours. Never his energy level dipped from start to end. Most of the songs were picked from AR Rahman's Tamil music. He sang only 'Yaadein' title Hindi song. He sang with such an ease that I felt the process of singing is easy and anybody like me can also sing. But who will listen is a different issue that I might have deal later. He was

I watched both the movies - Love Story 2050 and JTJN and my vote certainly goes to Harman!! Both the movies didn't have stong and good script but acting wise.. I definitely think Harman has all the points for him to move forward as an hero who can promise good stuff. For Imran

Nights are dipping to 6 – 7 degree C.I have got in few beautiful pictures of Melbourne city soaked in fog. I shall let the pictures speak to you this time while I wrap myself in a warm shawl and continue working. I am looking for June 21st the shortest day in the

What do I do when I accidently get a few hours break at office? I didn’t have to bother about templates, material or captivate this time and I was left free to discover myself (though not officially).I opened Google and didn’t know anything to search for the first time. Google and Wiki have become life line in my professional life. I search anything and everything. But what do I search now?

I am not going to hold you for long with this post as I just wanted to convey that I am thoroughly enjoying the music of Ada especially the song - Mujhe Milo Wahaan sung by Alka Yagnik and Jayachandran. It calls for deep attention towards the lyrics.For your benefit:Mujhe Milo Wahaan Wahaan Jahaan Pehle MileMujhe Milo Wahaan Wahaan Jahaan Pehle MileChalo Chale Wahaan Wahaan Jahaan Kal The

well... what do I write about Ada and Jaane Tu (JTYJN) ... No doubt they are peppy and different but they come with lot of controversies. I write this post straight out of my head. I haven't stopped to edit and put it in a acceptable flow. Music of Ada and Jaane Tu is being played in our home theatre and I am liking most of the songs.Last week, I saw a Youtube Video of ARR appearing in Surabhi

We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes.We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive & forget. Love one and all.If you judge people, you have no time to love them. -- Mother Teresa How many people follow this? – none (including me)

I have visited only a few restaurants in this city. I always like to visit to the same one instead of trying the new ones as I wish not to take chances and waste money. With hectic schedules and limited time to spend with family and friends, it would be a best treat if 4 things come together i.e. the combination of Ambience/Service/price and Quality.Most of Indian Restaurants outside India always

I would have been an adherent follower of IPL if I was living in India or who knows I could have been just the way as I am now. Being away from the home does not matter as any hype created did not really persuade me to watch a single match of IPL. What do I know about IPL? Let me just try jotting down those points: (It really took a long time to think and write)IPL - Indian Premier League (I have

This post is to share the experience and the service received by my close friend ‘R’ who is travelling to India through Gurkha’s travel - Melbourne. Well we all know the huge sum we have to pay to go to India. Adding to this was (is still) a harrowing experience with the travel agents.My friend contacted the above mentioned travel agent and booked his ticket to India. He was travelling through M

Have you ever thought how much ‘Kkkkkkkk’ (I haven’t spelt it wrong, it is coming out of numerology) serials have influenced our lives and relationship? All it is capable of is- spreading tears, manipulation, polygamy, extra marital affairs, wickedness, and tons of make up.

I have been practicing driving on Mel roads to get a hang of road rules and lane driving. At first I was confident that I will be able to manage and get a hang of it with couple of driving lessons.I drove and the feedback that I got was some thing like this:Too fast in handling the gear box as if it’s the end of the world – :(Swaying between lanes while changing the gear - :(Does not accelerate

Chander and I were on a stroll in the city during our lunch break and we were drawn to the music that sounded Indian. We found a man playing Sitar on Bourke Street. Upon enquiring, he mentioned that he learnt the skill in Banaras, India. We were awestruck to note that a person who was not of Indian Origin had interest and learnt the skill of playing Sitar. We did not forget to acknowledge his

This was one of the temples in Melbourne that we longed to go. It was by lord’s grace that we got a chance to visit this temple. Thanks to Preethy and Suresh who took us to the temple on a Saturday evening. We drove till Carrum Downs which is on Dandenong – Frankston road. It was a 40 minute drive from Toorak.It is a very neatly maintained temple and one could just feel the ambience as soon as

We finally did watch the much hyped movie of Kannada Film Industry after 2 years of its release.When I visited India last year, everybody were running crazy about this movie – Some people thought they had finally achieved in their life by watching it and some thought it was a win against somebody. Though I loved its songs, never during my stay I was persuaded to watch it.Everybody kept pestering

Chander and I got ourselves booked for the first day first show at Hoyts Cinema. The movie was to start at 8:20 PM on Friday. We reached in at 8:00 and could see couple of Indian families waiting in the lounge while the cinema 3 got itself cleaned up. At 8:10 the seating began and we were on the top row. The hall slowly started filling in with the Indian families and couple of foreigners as well

It was Saturday evening and we had completed household chores. We thought we should go for a stroll in the city before we come back and have dinner. We quickly got dressed up and left to the Federation Square. At Federation Sq, Optus was hosting free WI-FI for all. Chander wanted to try it and was successful in doing so. In his Apple I pod touch, he could use Google chat.We were facing the river

Chander and I got our tickets organized months before. The match was to begin at 7:35 PM on 1st of Feb, 2008. Once I came back from office, we hurried up and took a train to get to the MCG.There was no chance that anybody could get lost as the entire crowd was going towards stadium. Since this was my first experience to view a match from the stadium I was pretty excited. We went to the respective

Life is going on full swing with no time to look back or to write any blogs. It is already 15th Feb and just 19 more days to go. I have to pen down a lot of things that I did in first half February. I had been to the 20-20 cricket match at MCG and also met few of the cricketers last week. I shall soon update this space about the same.Keep watching.

We spent our Sunday in a very peaceful and blissful way at Shirdi Sai temple. Thanks to Ritesh who agreed to take us to the temple, though I guess he was obligated to do so. This was the first temple Chander and I we were visiting in Melbourne and were quite enthralled to be in the divine presence. It took a little while on the Eddy Street to find the entrance. As we sat together, I was asked to

An evening to remember!! Being with friends and yapping to the glory is a special feeling that cannot match earning 100k (not to mention in AUD). That’s exactly what happened today at the Red Pepper Restaurant. We (Ritesh, Kuku, Raghu, Chander and myself) decided to meet finally at Red pepper at 5:30 pm in the city.

It is a day where an employer gifts (gift boxes) the employees for their work throughout the year.
