Adventure and Thrill but at a not-so-good risk...

Yesterday evening, we wanted to go out for a drive in our new Indica Xeta..So, we chose to take the road towards Kengeri and then enter the 'very nice' NICE (Nandhi Infrastructure Corridor) road, get something for stomach in between and come back home...
Post Kengeri, we took the left turn to enter the tolled NICE road...its an awesome privately built road for public use and have no issues in paying a mere Rs 16/- for a nice smooth pot-hole free road journey! We didnt want to take the road till Kanakapura exit as it was about to rain heavily and hence we took an exit that marked BSK Outer Ring Road (the exit point is next to PESIT college, near to my home). We happily took this exit but to our dismay, a big board after 50mtrs said 'Road Closed'!! Post this board, it was pitch dark and nothing was visible if the car headlights are not turned on...we could see some small hills ahead...So, obviously we became confused on whether to go back and join the NICE road that leads to Kanakapura exit or ask somebody and decide...
While we were thinking, two TTs (Tempo Travelers) zoomed ahead post this board towards the dark area and we waited if they will return but not...Then a car came behind us and when asked the driver, he said we can go towards the ORR exit but in between there is a mud road for some distance...Having heard this, we thought we will take chance and then we stepped on the gas towards the dark area! Giving our company was thunder, lightnings and drizzling rain...
True to what the driver said, we got a mud road just 50mtrs from the 'Road Closed' board but this was not an ordinary mud road...it was mud with stones of all sizes and adding to this was the unevenness in the road...couple of minutes on the road, given the pitch dark that surrounded us with no light except the car's headlight, we were kind of in-the-jungle atmosphere!! On either side of us were unwanted plants, small hills and pitch dark....this continued for nearly a kilometer till we found again the start of the nice road!! On one hand, it was very risky and we should not have taken this stretch at that time (now-a-days, anything can happen in city and here, its a super good deal for all baddies!!) but on the other hand (post-the road stretch) its a nice adventure and lot of thrill :-)
So dudes, please do not take this road at night times and if taken, yes, you will get super thrilled but this comes with lot of risk!!

Recap of 2010 & the Fresh 2011...

Happy New Year 2011 and Happy Sankranti, Pongal to all!! Hope we all have a rocking and exiting 2011 ahead... Having missed out of the blog scene, lot of things have passed in past year of 2010 which I would like to write... 2010 - what an year of ups and downs and ups :-) On the professional front, I changed the job from one US blue-chip major to another US blue-chip major & apparently both being strong rivals to one another...Am talking about my job change from Hewlett-Packard ( HP India ) to IBM India ! Both are great companies to work where both of them share a great history of innovation and culture. However once inside a company and totally involved in your job, all these will take a second priority and there comes your job&role as the first priority. So my shift from the earlier Services based / project based job role to the current Labs which involve product development & support...A better long-term view than that of a short-term :-) One more interesting fact

A Unique Experience In My Life...

I will word this as my unique experience in my life because I had never undergone this stuff earlier in my 28 years of journey called Life and I never want this to happen again in my life...I dont want this to happen to any one else also... Feb 14th will be etched in my book of life for two unique reasons - one sad and one happy! The happy part is that my first car delivery happened on this day and I was very happy for myself and my family for getting a good car (at last!). The happiness is still continuing and will be there in future also... Now, the sad part of the story is that on that morning I started experiencing a reduction in my left eye vision, something like some object has been placed in front of my eye and this is obstructing me to see clearly...I neglected this for sometime thinking that my normal drops will solve this issue but till evening even after many rounds of eye drops, the problem still existed...Then I rushed to a nearby eye clinic where dilatation process was

Wrong move or Right move?

Last week, i was called by my manager and asked me a small question that would affect me in a huge way! The small and simple question was: Are you ready to travel to Mumbai, for a project, for a period of 4-6months? Around 5 people are planned to be put into this project. This was a difficult question for me, as i am 50-50 for this oppurtunity. If I look from the Work perspective, as per the inputs from my manager and other concerned people, it is really good, where you go and study an existing system, get Knowledge Transfer from the client and come back to Bangalore and start that project by setting up a team. But the catch here is Mumbai...i would like to work in Mumbai but given my current situation where i have got a valid US Visa, i dont want to miss the oppurtunity that *may* come to me inline with my Visa! So, here is the dilemma, a 50-50 scenario for me...:( Finally, after discussing with my parents and applying some self-thought :) and leaving the things to god and following
