-: Dreamer's Den! :-

For the first time today, in the 25 years of me having to wear glasses, I forgot to bring the glasses to my office!! Now, am sitting here in front of computer, typing without glasses...Not that I can't see anything without glasses but it has become a habit and my face identity from past 25years! How it happened was daily while commuting to office, I drive with my sunglasses and I keep my normal glasses in my pocket...today for what reason I dont know, I forgot to put it and hence just drove away from home only with my sunglasses! So, today first time experience without glasses, in public...hope it goes fine! :)

Take 1: I am driving and approaching a traffic signal. Fortunately, the signal is green and I am around 200 meters from signal. I try to cross the signal but by the time I come near the junction, the signal turns Yellow. I stop showing the stop sign but I observe that many other vehicles just pass the signal without caring the sign! More than this, the person driving behind my vehicle gives me a 'why did you stop' look! - coz I stopped and now have to wait for another X mins to move ahead! - Clear sign of "Impatience"! Take 2: I stand in that signal and there is a countdown timer in that signal, showing how many seconds left for the signal to turn yellow/green. The moment the timer approaches 20secs or 15 secs, some crazy people start honking there vehicles as though everybody are just standing even if we have got green signal! The moment timer turns 11..10..9..people start off from the signal without caring much about the other side traffic! Really cant understand w

Wish you folks a very happy, safe, fun-filled and prosperous DeepavaLi / Diwali! :-) On the terrace of my home, was having a 360-degree view of the firecrackers lighted around the city...Its good to see but the side-effects of these crackers has a killing effect...Anyways, just remembered the science theory which says that "Speed of light is faster than speed of Sound" - very much evidant when you watch firecrackers burst from a distance! :) Once again, happy 'festival of lights'!!

It had been around 1.5 years that I worked in city office (1.5years in Whitefield and earlier in Koramangala and Airport road, typical city offices!) Wondering what in the name is 'City office'?? Ok, ok... city office is nothing but the office which is in the city premises! Now-a-days, given the space constraint as well as corporate tax exemptions, most of the companies (read: IT/BT) are moving to outskirts of the city (In my case, Bangalore outskirts means 2 fave destinations 1. Electonics City (Phase I and II) 2. Whitefield / ITPL) So, given this scenario, even my company has a huge 20-acre Bangalore Corporate office in E-City but luckily I fell into the project/product line who work from city office and my city office is in Cunningham road (nearby landmark/s: very near to the prestigious Vidhana Soudha and also near to Shivajinagar bus terminus) Working in city office has both the pros and cons (as usual!) Pros are: 1. Flexible working time (many people in my office come b

The last 3 days was amazing, filled with fun...didnt know how time went by...we just wanted that the time stay running for long time so that we could still enjoy more time roaming around in the midst of the nature!! Marriage, functions are just reasons to come out of our day to day routines...and Marriage out of our town is one good thing to come out and explore other places on earth! Yesterday we had to attend the marriage of one of our close friends in the place called Hassan, situated in the South Canara region, around 180kms from Bangalore. So, we all friends (11 of them) took this opportunity to explore some of the nearby places along with our attendance for the marriage and hence we set out on Saturday to explore 'Shravana BelagoLa' (World's tallest single rock carving of Lord Bahubali), the world famous 1200AD sculptures at 'Halebeedu', the evergreen mountain range of 'Kemmanagundi' (Z-Point in particular) and above all loads of enthu and fun filled
