Day Trip to Nandi Hills

We decided to spend a Sunday going to Nandi Hills with some of our friends. We all huddled in their Innova and buzzed off. Had a so..so time at the place. The charm of a picnic was lost partly due to the huge holiday turn-out and partly due to the number of intrusive monkeys and…

Fun at the Movies

Went with my colleagues for lunch and a movie to celebrate my manager’s promotion – her treat :). Had a really fun time. The restaurant Sikandhar located in Garuda Mall specializes in north Indian food and is really nice. Although the buffet spread isn’t huge, each and every dish was super. We all then went…

Mahjong Madness

One of my (extremely glamorous) colleagues has introduced the team to the game Mahjong, and it has caught on like wildfire. Everybody in the team has been playing it repetitively. I have been pretty obsessed with it lately, playing the game anytime when I have a couple of minutes. It is pretty addictive. The game…

Mom’s visit

The farmhouse looks very prettily rustic, and they actually have about five acres of cultivated land with crops such as maize, and…

Birthday Party Fun

On Saturday, we went to our favorite store in Bangalore, Sanctuary to get the birthday girl some clothes for her birthday. Ended up buying tons…

View from Vandalur

It’s been almost two weeks since our Chennai trip when we visited Vandalur zoo. My daughter Jahnavi has been seeing pictures of animals in her story-books. We thought it would be a fun idea for her to see them in actuality. We went there one afternoon and it was a very long drive from home…

A walk down memory lane

Yesterday was Juhi Chawla’s birthday, and Radiocity played a lot of her songs on radio. I didn’t realize that her movies have really nice music. Listening to those songs really made my day, especially my favorite one ” Gunghat ke aad se dil bharka”. Was humming it all day đŸ™‚ Gunghat ke aad se dil…
