Bangalore Blasts

I am still in shock over what happened today! Namma Bengaluru... a calm, peaceful city turned IT hub turned terror-target. I got the news out of the blues at 3.30pm today, about the same time my colleague pinged me informing about the blasts. At first, it sounded too unreal, could this really be happened? Then, as reality sunk in, a miled dose of panic soon followed. My office is in Manipal Centre, a "good" target as any other. We at office took a call under 10 minutes to shut shop for the day and on my way I was. Thankfully, the route to my house was not choked for once!

I cant tell you how heartbreaking this is... here you are worrying about work targets, washing laundry over the weekend, deciding which movie to watch... seemingly mundane decisions of a Bangalorean for the weekend and bang- not one, two, three either... 9 blasts!!! and another!

I am driven to think that this could be dirty politics at work. I am sure the true terrorists would try something dumber like hitting IISc. Still, something of this magnitude has left all Bangaloreans stunned.

My pic made it to the papers! 12th July 08, The Hindu Metro Plus :D

Summer 2008

Watched this movie last night at home. What looked like promising, light-hearted entertainment soon turned into psyching tirade of Mahanjans, pre-meds, guns along with beloved Goa trying to vie for attention!

My advice- not a must watch.

Tooth.. ache...damn...it

I just hate this phase of the wisdom tooth eruption. Done with the right side, that was easy. Now the one on my left is pure pain in my mouth! I wonder why these guys take decades to appear, and when they do, they have to be so troublesome! :(

Could not resist from posting this pic- the big bites that you see are my colleague's :D

Doughnut!

We have a doughnut fever going on in my office... atleast I think it [the doughnut revolution] has begun to happen!! I just...cant...resist... a good chocolate glazed doughnut! And we get it for as cheap as Rs.7! 3 cheers for Amma's pastry shops :)

My supercool shots

Some of the photos I took in the macro mode of my new Sony T20 :)

End of the world... no, just end of the Bangalore summer!




















This was a more beautiful view, the photo does injustice.
