Reached here earlier this afternoon. Plane was 20 mins. late. Food onboard was bad so just had a bowl of cucumbers feeling hungry now. My company had sent a taxi to the station so getting to the hotel wasn’t tough. And i’ve been booked in a sea-facing room on the 5th floor. view is cool. [...]
Tomorrow I’ll be leaving Bangalore for the second time. I’m off to Mumbai tomorrow. And I’m going to miss Bangalore terribly, even though I know I’ll keep coming back frequently, and plan to return for good in at max 10 years or so… And this time I’m not sure if I’ll be able to run [...]
Recently I had written a what I thought innocuous post on the cultural differences between North and South Bangalore, and said that it has a historical context. And put an innocuous friendly comment. Now, some loser website must have linked to it, but that post has attracted numerous first-timers to my blog, and all of [...]
Two days back, I wondered if the Arsenal-Villareal match would be worth watching. Given the way Villareal had played last week, it was very likely that Arsenal would bottle them up and would pump in another goal or two to settle the issue.

Have been having really arbit and funny dreams of late. Two weeks ago, a certain somebody had written poetry for me. A day after that, my dad had admonished me for my excessively long phone calls ? this particular dream came true a couple of days after that! Last week I dreamt that I had [...]
In the classification of food as North Indian and South Indian, one really nice thing which gets left out is North Karnataka cuisine. And the Govindrai Kamat group has managed to create fine dining out of this supposedly down-market food and has dedicated the terrace of almost all their restaurants for this! The ambience is [...]
The lingo at any college is very likely to be affected by the local language of the surrounding areas. Like there are so many Tam words that have crept into the IITM lingo, and so many hindi words which are part of the lingo at Northern IITs. Given this background, it?s quite surprising that there [...]
In the midst of the hole-in-the-wall darshinis and old Kamat-style sit-down eateries, the old madrasi restaurant in Bangalore Woody?s has come up with a novel concept of selling South Indian food.
