[Photo Coutesy : jamuraa]

I
got this tag this Maverrick who got it from Sailor who got it from Sneha.
[I hope the tag is not an Evil plan by some Evil Warlord to get information about me so that he can overpower me and take over the world].
Here goes..
1)What is your occupation?
I am a central goverment employee*.
*Conditions Apply
( Psst. I heard there is no value in the marriage market for Software engineers. We are a depreciating asset now.)

2)What colour are your socks now?
Never ask a bachelor about his socks >:-

3)What are you listening to now?
I'm hearing Bhumika's voice on the phone persuading me to go to innovative film city this weekend.

4)What was the last thing you ate?
Lemme see:
Wheat flour, (UN)cooked on a flat or slightly concave iron griddle and
Dark yellow colour potato, tomato and onion paste sprinkled with garlic seasoning..
For those illiterate guys, lets say : Roti and aloo curry from the cafeteria.

5)Can you drive a stick shift?
Sorry,I do not know golf. ;)
[searches on Wiki what a stick shift is..]
hmph!!! a vehicle with manual transmission.
Why cant the question be :
Can you drive a vehicle where you have to change the gear manually?
[You don't know to how much extent my wild imagination went to derive the meaning of a STICK SHIFT]
Answer : I can drive and I am a pretty cool driver, but expensive. Last time I drove it cost me around 10,000 bucks.
The back of a stick shift bus came and hit the front of my stick shift car. Not my mistake. Why was the back of the bus parked there?
Indians should be more aware and careful while driving stick shifts . I mean who gave these bus drivers liscence to drive a stick shift.

6)Last person you spoke to on phone?
Salma..
You know.. Salma Hayek..
See I knew you wouldn't believe.
I have an alternate answer ready for those who didn't believe that : the Airtel Broadband Service Guy!

7)Do you like the person who sent you this?
I know Chandan sent this so that he could make me say I like him.
Not the type you think I am, man. aaargh...

8)How old are you today?
Old enough (and 6 years extra) to legally do the FOUR LETTER WORD.. V.O.T.E.

Why did u have to put such a question in when I am trying to forget the last movie
I watched? BTW its Revolutionary Road.. ( strong sense of sleepiness takes over!!!)

14)Favourite day of the year?
Salary Day.. :)

15)How do you vent out your anger?
I once told my dad I wanted a missile launcher for my birthday. I wanted to try it on the School's official Bully. My dad being a spoil sport didn't get me one.
So my only source of comfort has been my innocent pillow which gets beaten up when I really feel like beating the shit out of someone.

18)Do you want your friends to email you?
Yes. Esp. those which say - if you dont forward you will be cursed with constipation for 7 years,7 months and 7 days. In my humble opinion the recession has been caused by people who haven't forwarded such mails and have got the curse of the Email-Server-Gods over our Software Fraternity.

saw Anushka's dance class on MTV. Then I went to bed.

23)What are you most afraid of?

How to run a Marathon : 10 Practical Tips

First Things First: Wish you and your loved ones a very  happy, peppy and zappy 366 days in 2012 Looks Good Right? But Do You Know that he is not following some of the Golden Rules? As you might be aware, I have been preparing for a marathon(half) . Due my extreme commitment in the preparations I decided to change my category from 25 to 12.5 KM so that the regular winners of 25 k are not disheartened by their sudden loss. But as 12.5 KM is not my category, I knew I could not finish first. But life is full of sacrifices ain't it? While running the marathon, I picked up some tips and came to know that most of my "training" didn't incorporate the important stuff that contributes to better and efficient running. These are my observations and are awaiting patent. Humble as I am, I hate to say it but I am expecting a Nobel prize in Sports. Till then I hope you keep these things between us. Here are ten tips that will help you for sure whether you are over...

Bane Of Existence

{ This one has been sitting idly in drafts for more than a year. Most of it owing to my laziness to edit and publish. Finally I got around to it and the reason for that has to be yet another blog. Before you go on - the story might not be fictional but the characters and settings are.} T he Sun had silently gone to sleep. His last rays bounced off the golden sands. The groundnut peddler hit his wares furiously. The tantalizing smell of onion pakodas gave a tough fight to my diet plans. But the Beach was not the same today. The Waves don't sound happy. They sing in sorrow like they understand her.

Kalsa Waterfall (Barajanancha Vazar) To Sural Waterfall (Ladki cha Vazar) Trek

Sural Waterfall from the view point in the village of Sural I t was a search for Heaven that led us to Belgaum. The spark came from a set of  photos posted on FB . Temptation overcame us and a trip for the immediate weekend took shape. We wanted to hit the place before the end of  October. Lack of rains can change a landscape into something else altogether. Without enough time to plan, road blocks had good luck  finding us. We couldn't get reservations in a resort called Wildernest. Heaven was supposed to be en route to the resort. So the infinity pool plan sunk with it. It was  decided that  it should be a trekking + sight seeing trip instead. Trekking on Saturday and scouting on Sunday (armed with the  approximate location of the place from Vatsa's friend, who was the lucky soul who posted the photos). Bangalore was left behind for a weekend.
