Bangalore Half Marathon

There was a half marathon (21.097Kms) on the 18th Dec 2005 organised in bangalore. the last marthon was about 6 months back then me and my roomie Harsha had ran 7Kms and boy that was a great experience. I had totally screwed up my left leg. was not able to walk for about a week terrific pain. this time we did some proper training in the gym and on roads. we were runing for an hour every day in the gym for the about four weeks. on one saturday we decided that we should run on the road as the conditions in the gym and on the road out in the open are diferent. we chose one saturday two weeks behind the D-day and ran 14kms . it was great we did have some time here we felt no way not possible but had to push ourselves to finish the run. it was great and we knew we cud do more. this was a major booster to our confidence. on the D-day there were about 200+ ppl to run for th ehalf marathom...was a little surprised that there were so many. ppl from all age were there to run the race. the start was from Kanteerva Stadium and the route was like this
Kanteerva Stadium -> Central Library->Vidhan Soudha->Rajbhavan ->Golf COurse -> Windsor Manor Bridge-> Palace Grounds-> Mekhri Circle-> CBI->Hebbal Flyover and the same route was traced back to the finish line.
The firat half of the journey was pretty fast 1Hr 05Min to reach Hebbal flyover, then it was like when where is the finish line. things were geting tough for me. i was more worried about Windsor Manor Bridge that has a good steep to climb................well some how i reached the starting pf the bridge and decided to walk drinking water. after the climb i started runing but it was turning out to be very difficult. the last 4kms to the finish line was horrible......my legs had reache their ultimate point of not caryying me anymore. i started shuffling between walking and running. some how i reached the finish line. harsha had already finished the race. Kishore and Chandu were there to shoot me with their camera in the finish line. it was a reat feeling . i took 2Hrs 38Min to finish where as Harsha took 2Hrs 08Min to finish the race. later i just wanted to eat and drink and eat and drink and dat is wat i did.
but i am disappointed that a Sheik friend of mine is not ready to accept that i ran that distance.fat ass is jeaoulous of me runing so much......he is a well acclaied sportsperson look at him and u will have a second thought he he he he he h eh eh eh eh

The Great Indian Marraige - II

I had talked abt the Indian marriage fun-fare, fan-fare, hoopla-la and the shit that happens in this occasion. I have more to talk abt the thing that happens before the boy or the girl or the parents of both the families give their final consent. The usual process

1. the girl sees the boys photo and vice-a-versa
2. Both of them agree and a meeting is set up usually in the girls place until the families or the individuals are daring enough to meet some where else to decide upon if the other can control their lives.
3. The boy and girl see each other have a small chat in private.
4. consent from both the families are exchanged after some days
5. if it is a NO then no issues repeat the above again......if a yes then follow on
6. the Horoscope of the bride and the groom are exchanged and matched
7. if not matched then no problem repeat the above again else follow on
8. once the stars and sun are in aligned in the right direction a date is set for the engagement
9. engagement is done on the fixed day......yummy food
10. Bride and groom are to be married woodbeeeeeees in a short time say two to three months.
11. marriage day comes get marred(yummy foooood) go to honey-moon, return back to home.......return early to home from ofc in the pretext of ****
12. And life goes on & on & on & on & on....

In these 12 steps to a great marriage and future married life a lot of things can happen in between. Like pursuing the girl or the boy to get married. This is the most shitties job one can imagine. Telling the boy or girl why he or she should marry her or him. It is like selling Ice creams in Arctic and Antartic.man I can be a good marketing executive.......who care if u w crack CAT and get a degree from IIM. ppl get married because of many reasons like age, coz they have to get married, coz they are in love, coz some body in their is sick and want to see their young ones married before they leave this planet and all. I still don’t know why ppl get married. well another issue dat happens is like the girls is not fair, fat, tall, short,round,.....all geometrics here and employed and et.al. The same also hold good with the boy but more importantly he is not earning enough money how can he take care of her??????Phew the guy will surely go for a whirlpool ride. Many a cases ppl have come close to getting engaged and their marriage proposals area called off coz of one of the many reasons cited above. Ppl get so close with each other in the due course of time when they meet their partners that if any such thing happens to them it literally tears them apart.
why the ppl cant just choose their partners, fuck the process let it be limited to the meeting part upto point2 and let them decide if they are compatible with each other? at least they have themselves to blame of anything goes wrong in the future.

Diwali and an Indian Wedding

Two mega events are lined up this year towards the end of monsoon. Diwali the festival of lights and my cousins marriage. Both these events are running back to back like some series of block buster movies in HBO or Star Movies. I think these occasions are itself a movie in disguise. Diwali the festival of lights marks of victory of good over evil, light over darkness. It was on this day that Lord Rama returned from exile of 14 years(forgive me with my history if I m wrong). People of Ayodhya welcomed him back home by lighting Diyas or Lamps in their houses. Since then the festival is celebrated by lighting lamps and bursting crackers and not to mention the sweets and slurpy food that accompanies the festival. I remember those days when we as kids used to burst crackers like maniacs. We use to get up wearly in the morning and have a competion as to who wud be the first person to burst the crackers. The show wud then go on for three days with great excitement and fun. My favorites then were the bombs that produced most of the noise. Boy we use to do crazy thing in the open ground of our school. Today after around 10 years of all this craziness there is no zest to burst crackers and have the same amount of fun. Surprisingly and shockingly the people also have seem to lost the interest. I did not find the environment being polluted by sound and smoke from the bursting of crackers. Wonder what has crept into the peoples minds. Is the modernization of the society and its residents or the conciseness of the people towards the environment or the lack of young school going kids (if this is true then I need to ‘fuk like minks and raise rug rats’ and bring back those lost days)? Well a lot of thinking will be done on this……..rit???

Marriage: the bonding of two souls…….dats wat the elders say (I heard of these in the movies than in real life). Wat ever to me it looks more like a DISCO a few moments of extravaganza, for some it is losing freedom, for some losing virginity and for some it is a compulsion. for me it is Worries Invited For Ever he he he he he;-). Indin weddinf is no fun and especially if u represent the bride. It is the bride’s family who takes care of the entire event I mean the marriage, the function, the food and in some cases even the DOWRY and many more that goes into this bonding. Man the bills seem to never end and money flows like water in a violent river. Get the whole family and close relatives clohes to wear, jwellery , shoes , watches and yield to the boys demands . these are the norms of the century. On the day of the marriage hell lot of people to take care and some weird questions to people whom u never met in your life time it just sucks. I strongly feel why have all these discos? To let the whole world know u, ur daughter or ur son is getting married????? Damn it then why don’t u put an ad in a leading daily news paper people will come to know about it. In my opinion get married in the court or a temple and host a decent reception. Fuk all this hoop-la and gimmick. Use that moey some where else……….maybe charity. Well it seems easy to write here wonder wat will happen to………..!!!!!!!

Nandi Hills & Royal Enfield

it has been a long time since i blogged kinda busy and slugish
well this weekend i decided not to do anything.......no ofc no reading just sleep eat and have fun
Kishore was here over the week end as we wanted to go to Nandi Hills for sleeping in solace, i mean it. I checked out the Royal Enfield bikes on Saturday evening it was great. I drove the bike on the inner ring road it was great 350cc of adrenaline rush.......woooooooooooosh
my roomate Harsha mite have shat in hos pants sitting behind me on the Bullet Thunder Bird. he was shaking he he he he he eh eh eh eh e............
I must admit that my misconception abt the weight and handling of the bike was washed away after the ride. I rode it like it was a Pulsar. I will be buying the bike maybe a Machismo or ThunderBird by this Diwali. (Ponni u fat ass..............grrrrrr). on Sunday morning we set off Kishore, Harsha and myself on our good old bike to Nandi hills 72 Kms drive from my house in Hoody (Neat ITPB), we reached the place at around 8:30 AM. The road is really goood six lane National Highway. The hill is not all that big in size, the weather is usually cold and windy up there. we had a walk in the morning and then a heavy breakfast and slept happily on the rocks near Tipppu's Drop......basking in the sun allowing Mother Nature to pplay it s game on the weather. It was changing from cloudy to sunny and windy......brrrrr. I slept happily listening to songs in the warmth of the sun. I suppoe i was lying on the rocks for abt an hour. it was really rejuvinating when i got up again. I suppose the other two also did the same with Harsha doing the less of sleeping......he is a voaltile matter in a new place(a flubber:-)) ). he was talking snaps of the place and us sleeping. at around noon we left the place and returned back to Banglaore.
I was sesning that a cold mite catch up and thats wat happend. we ordered Pizza from Pizza Hut......i hooged more than the mighty AK (Kishore) and Harsha....phew;-)). But AK lost his Key Bunch i suppose in Nandi Hills dat careless ass grrrrr........AK left our place at around 6 in the evening and after that I had my bath and shave and did this

Road Burners- Ooty

it was out of blues my collegue(Ganesh Rao- GG) msged me and asked me if we can go to Ooty

and i rplies why not how abt going on bikes.........thats it he was ready and so was my cubile mate (Abhi) and my roomie(Harsha) and his cousin (Suresh)

we decided to go on the weekend on three bikes the five of us

i was all excited more was my roomie as his bike is yet to cover some kms. he he he he he he he :-))

i was supposed to get up at 4:30AM get ready and pick up Abhi from Domlur and all of us were scheduled to meet at the Ring Road-Mysore Road junction at 6:00AM.

Fortunately i got up at 5:00AM as the alaram did not go on.

I was racing the very instant i hoped on the bike vroom vroom......vroooooooooooooooooooooooooom

By the time we all met upit was 6:45....and we headed to our first stop Mysore. The bangalore -Mysore road has undergone a lot of changes. A four lane road was all there to welcome us...........it was great to ride on this strech. few parts of the road are yet to be completed. We stopeed twice to attend a few call by mother nature.

There awas a peculiar scene to watch on the highway after Mandya, a bullock cart lead by a dog kinda difficult to explain this. I hope u all have seen the leaping cheetah on Jaguear Cars.....it was the same way the dog was standing on the wooden platform next to the bullocks and the driver was steering it a great scene.

We reached Mysore at around 9:45 and ppl were hungry and looked liked they eat the whole hotel out. we had breakfact in my fav hotel in Mysore GTR(Gayathri Tiffin Rooms). ihad a burping breakfast,,,,,:-)). another of my friend Ponnana joined us for a few hrs frome here, we headed to Chamundi hills, the headquartes of Lord Chamundeshwari. Spent some time there shot a few photos and departed with my friend (sigh :-(( he was supposed to travel with us but a god damn PDF document was more important to him.......waaaaa:-(() and went towards Bandipur. On the way is a place called Gundlupet, frome here we had two choices one got to Sultan Batheri a treking place in Kerla or head straight it Ooty. Sultan Bathri is 80 Km from here and logically we would require 4 Hrs to enjoy the place with the travelling and reaching the border before seemed impossible. so we decided to go Gopalswamy Betta and Bandipur. Gopalswamy Betta is a hill and on top of the hill there is a Lord Krishna temple, the drive to the top s really good. I never expected such a drive, it was damn steep, the moment u enter the Forest area it roads lead u to the top all up up n away.....phew wonder how much my bike cursed me and me cursing for buying this powerless machine on such a kind of road.grrrr grrrr grrrr grrr we reached the top of the hill and guess wat there was a traffic jam on our way up. reason being there was a Jathre (Local festivals) there and a lot of ppl had flocked in for the event. the scenary from the top of the hill is realy mind blowing and soothing. Had never seen such colours of green in my life. the place was cool and filled with all kind of ppl. we came down the hill and then our next stop was the Badipur Forest Reserve, we had lunch in a private resort called Jungle Resort. The food was really good and all of us were hungry. Then we went to the Safari. there were no expected animals to see, the usuall Deers, monkeys and Peacock. Harsha took this glorious moment in the safari to take a short nap.

After the safari we rushed to the border. There are two routes to reach Ooty from the Madumalai Forest one is via Kallahatti the road is with 36 Hair Pin Bends and the other i dont know a longer one though. After 6:00PM we cannot take the Kallahatti route, we were there at the border at sharp 6:00 Pm and started our journey to Ooty from there. the drive is cool up the hill bending my bike (which i like to do a lot) to negotiate the turns and climbing the hill......phew. On the way as we climbed up the hill it started to get colder, we stopped at Kallahatti for a cup of steming tea. Bikes were crying and coughing for a lease of life. We had two pulsar and a Unicorn with us these arent built for the Ghats, they are best for the planes. When it was around 2 Kms from Ooty my bike was not ready to climb even in the First Gear........we stopped again and Ganes switched over to his bike. From there on there was no uphill ...........damn. In the entarnace of Ooty we checked into a Hotel Comfor Inn and made ourselves comfortable. Had drinks to chill out and a good dinner and slept tight in the cold weather.

The next day we visited the Ooty Boat House, a lake and boats floating aroung in the lake nothing much to boast abt. after that we went to a place calle Coonoor 20 Km from OOty. The drive was good with some beautiful scences. From Coonoor we went to Lambs Rock. On the way there were many Tea Estates. We spent a lot of time in the estate and Lambr rock. (I have nothing to speak abt these places:-((). We headed back to Bangalore the sameday at around 2:00 PM. Filled up our tanks as the fuel is Rs3 cheaper. The way back we had lunch in Jungle Resorts and after that the drive was terrific. Straight good roads and I was racing all alone witha Maruti Zen. The occupants of the car were kinda encouraging me to do this(no gilrs though :-((). We reached Mysore at aroung 6:00 Pm and went to our college SJCE(Harsha, GG and Myself are from the same college). From there met a few more of friends on the way and went to Kool Korner a must go place in Mysore for us. We left Mysore at around 7:00 PM. At around 9:30PM we had dinner in Kamat Janapada Loka abt 55Km from Bangalore. Exotic North Karnataka food for the empty bowels. from there we continued our journey back to bangalore. We reached bangalore at 10:45 PM and by the time I reached home it was mid-night. Had some Vodka and slept. awww wat a sleep was that i guess i did not sleep like a log I SLEPT LIKE MODHU ;-))

St Johns

this weekend was not all that good as the others that i enjoyed here
i was kinda sick and the place that we went were not all that good
on sat we went to an island called St Johns Island. we thought that the place will be like Pulau Ubin.....u know where we can cycle all over the island and have some real good sea food. the island is 45 min drive by ferry, the ferry was boarded from Sentosa island. the ride was really good. swinging with the waves that come up. the island was used to quarantine people who were suffering from cholera and diseases in the 18th century and later as a temp health check place for people returning from voyage and piligrimage from mecca. this island is truly a isolated place. to our shock when we reached the place there were no hotels:-(( and above that i started off without having my breakfast. the island has a marine research centre, but the public is not allowed to enter, the so called beach is not all that inviting.....no waves at all. it is a lagoon.
we were so pissed off......so decided to sleep happily near the beach.....boy nice nap. we had to wait for the ferry to return at 2 45......till den sleep madi.....i was totally exhausted by now........we went straight back to sentosa and had luch or rather snacks at 4. then some life entered me but was not all that enthu abt doing anything.........just wanted to sleep. so we went to the beach and waited till the sunset. after the sunset headed straight back to my room. had something to eat , poped up a pill and slept tight.wish the isalnd was St Patrick Island den i would not have regreted much :-))
on sun i was woken up by my manager, he had plans of going out to Mac Ritchie Reservoir. it is one of the natural resources for water here in singapore. the place is in the heart of the mainland. boy wat a place a rall huge reservoir and a rain forest all in onle place. in the reservoir you are allowed to do water sports like rowing and canoeing etc.......the school kida were practising under the supervision of their coaches. after that we hit the jungle boy....it was a typical rainforest jungle, the sunligh hardly touche down to the ground. it started raining a little bit while we were in it.....the smell of damped soil and jungle foilage was really intoxicating. after walking for 4.5km we came to the Tree Top Walk. a suspension bridge has been erected between two hills and the bridge takes rit thru the top the trees. it was really good and a great view from that place. we thought the exit place will be near by but it took another 2 km to reach the exit, so all in all a good work out. by now the cloud formation had thickened and threating us. we reached the bus stop just in time and reached back safely without geting wet. it rained like hell yesterday reminded me of the showers that we had in bangalore causin havoc.
bak to ofc now...........hoping for some good news today from my manager abt my return date

Malaysia

Sucks to be in ofc after a long vaction. Phew I had good and bad times in these five days
Ok on Friday I got some Malaysian Rhinghit (RM)…..exchanged for 200 sing dollars……I got 450 RM and later did some shopping I got a Ray Ban glass and a Swiss Knife boy that knife is really sharp a gentle touch on my finger and there it was bleeding…any how I was excited abt my trip. The next I got up at 5 30 and got ready by 6 15 and left for Kranji it is 20 min by train. From there I had to take a bus to reach the border. Boy for the first time I saw a traffic jam in Singapore. It was all crowded with people, cars, buses and bikes. The immigration office is very impressive, as soon as I stepped into the counter the officer asked me where is the white card? The white card is an immigration-sealed card with your details on it given to you at the time when you enter the country. This is supposed to be with your passport when you leave the country. Now I did not have this card….I had left it in my hotel. The lady officer just shouted at me I was shocked and said ok I did not know that. After that another immigration officer escorted me to a higher officer who asked me a few questions and got the same form filled and stamped my passport and let me go. Now I was in no mans land, I was walking along the two countries border which is just a bridge. The Strait of Johor is all that separates the two countries. I entered the Malaysian immigration office filled up my On Arrival Form and got it stamped and there I was in Malaysia. It looks like Singapore from a distance but beware it is a hallucination. I was wondering where should I board the bus to go to Kuala Lampur (KL), when private taxi driver approached me and asked where I wanted to go , I told him I need to board a bus to go to KL. He said that the bus interchange is 5km from the immigration office and from there you can get a bus, he offered me to take me for 20 RM to the interchange. After sometime I though ok lets go. He talked about India, bollywood and actor and actresses. People there are mad about hindi movies. On reaching the interchange he told me that a VIP bus would cost 60RM to go to KL. I saw the bus and then agreed for it. On boarding the bus I asked fellow commuter what is the price for the travel and he told me it is 25RM, damn there you go I was cheated to the core. I got out of the bus and asked the guy who gave me the ticket why have been charged so much and you know what answer he gave me the TEXSI driver told them that I am his friend and that is why I am charged like that. So much for a Malaysian friendship. I did not have the number of the texsi that I had traveled in to complain to the local authorities. By now I was pissed off arguing with these thugs, extortionists, brutes, cheaters…..et.al I went and sat back in my seat all fuming like steam engine. The bus was like the economy class of Indian Airlines. So my journey started at 10 AM to KL. The place where now I am is called as Larkin in Johor State. So five hours of travel in the bus. It was kinda good , the highway was awesome and the surroundings were all green. The country is a lot greener than Singapore.

So at around 2 30 I enter KL. I saw a lot of construction going on and was welcomed with huge jam……after half an hour I reached the bus interchanged. In this half an hour I had the first impression of KL. The city is dirty, open drainage, litter thrown all over….not different from any of our Indian cities. So on reaching the interchange when I got out of the bus boy the place stank remind me of my visit to Chennai. Yuk and it was raining. I searched for my hotel recommended by my friend who had been earlier. I checked out the room, it was good enough for a bachelor. It was like the first class compartment of Indian Railways…..i guess they are better space wise. Again I did a mistake of not checking out the rest room as this was supposed be a common one, man it sucks when I went there to the loo………..wooooooooooo it was worst than my hostel loo yuk disgusting. But I had to catch on other things rather than brooding. So I got down and had lunch a Kerala Parata. The thing that annoyed me was everything here is written in Malay and not in any other foreign language. It was raining, but I decided to go on. I depended on my legs rather than a cab driver or the bus.frankly I was pissed off by now and miss Singapore badly. After 15 min of walk I reached Menara, the fourth largest communication tower in the World. It is at a height of 421m. it was a majestic structure built by man. I went up the tower and boy o boy what a view of Klfrom that height. It was marvelous. There was a guided audio which would say what is there where. I spent about one hour in the tower looking at clean KL from the top. The Petronas Twin Tower was visible from here and it was looking good. So I moved on to my next destination

The Petronas Twin Tower was awesome, a steel and glass structure of 88 floors. Actually you can go half way up in the tower but that is only in the morning and my timing was really bad. Anyhow I was much higher than what the tower could take me. I entered the tower from the main enterance. It was a red carpet welcome for any body. In the main enterance there is a chandelier, it was marvelous. As I moved on boy I entered into a world of shopping. Forum mall is no where near it….it is atleast twice its size. It has all the brands in the world not even one missed. It has 6 floor in all.just too good, I don’t think anybody could have covered the entire mall in one or two hour. I just saw one floor completely I was damn tired by now, hungry and tired. I went to the backside of the tower, there was a fountain and a open place for the crowd to just hang out in the open. All kind of people and age group come here. Sadly the girls were not that pretty.L. I had to wait for one hour for seeing the tower by the night all illuminated. There is a kid’s corner with a mini pool. The scenic beauty is good and no words can match it. So as I was waiting for the lights to turn on I was again feeling hungry and tired. Was looking for something to drink. KL has developed a lot of things but there is no maintenance, no system, they have all rules but only in paper, the drivers don’t value the lives of passengers or the pedestrians. Slowly one by one the lights were turning on and I was capturing all this on my camera. Once all the light were on it was so beautiful, black sky and light bluish green light on the tower was so good and the contrast was really good.

So after that I started walking back to a place called Chinatown. On the way there were a few pubs and clubs. I was taking snaps when a guy got excited and started waving at me to take a snap..huh he was having one hell of a time with his pals. I could see a lot of foreigners here mostly Australians. As I walked back I had to pass through the Menara, it was looking like a ring studded with diamonds. Great view. I reached Chinatown it is typical national market, all pirated stuff available at a damn cheap rate. Cds, dvd, clothes, shoes and watches. I just walked about and realized that the place has no ending, it was just going on and on and on. I was hungry and searched for a place to eat, I found a road side hawker and asked if he had fried rice and he had it. I asked for one plate and it was really good. I had one more and finally it filled my tummy. For those who would say how much does he eat the quantity in the fried rice is just one cup of rice. After having dinner I walked back to my room……I reached my room freshened up and went to call up my colleague. He is a Malaysian and lives in KL, there are a lot of people who are Malaysians and work in Singapore, they can earn more,many of them commute daily. Idiots mobile number went to the voicemail…..could not speak to him atleast he would have told me what to do. Infact he had chalked out a plan for me for this vacation. Ok I am very tired and desperately wanted to sleep. My room had a fan and not
AC, it was damn hot and I could not sleep properly. I decide to go back to Singapore the next day once I am done seeing the places in KL.
Next day I got up at 8 30 freshened up myself , had three slices of bread and checked out from the hotel. With my back pack I headed for the Batu Caves. It is on the outskirts of the city and took me one hour to rach there by bus. The bus was pathetically maintained……like our old BMTC buses fitted with AC. Anyhow the sight of the caves was really pleasing from a distance. The cave is situated on a hill top. The cave is formed by the melting of limestone. Inside the cave …….guess what we have Subramanya Swamy temple. Yes the cave is the place to Hindu gods. I had climb up the hill to reach the top of the hill, it was a steep climb. The climb was not as much as we use to climb in Chamundi Hills.you have breath taking view here at the top the hill. The cave has really strange and weird structures, all in the shape of inverted cones. A lot of Hindus settled here in Malaysia come here and shave their heads, I guess Tirupathi of the East. Sadly the temple has been decorated with the signatures of the visitors, very typical Indian temple. The walls of the caves have been adored with peoples names and I Love You’s. the last temple is situates at a different level in the cave abd here the top of the cave or the roof is open letting the sun light to fall in. oh great dat was just great. Mind you I did not have a bath. Gods Must be CrazyJ. I was there at the top of the cave for an hour and descended down to the art gallery that was present there, it was nothing but the statues of all the gods. So finally I headed back to KL. On the way I got down at National History Museum. It was a good place, got to know a few thing about the country. Did you know that Proton is the National Car of Malaysia? It is present there like the Maruti 800 in India. From there I went to the Sentral Library , it is adjacent to the museum. We cannot go there just had a look at it from outside.there were a few more buildings present there, just looked at them from outside mostly government establishments. After that I visited a few shopping malls……..ha did not buy anything from here. I had done enough shopping already in Singapore. I returned back to Chinatown to buy some CD’s and a Malaysian T-Shirt (I had seen this the previous day, it had some Malaysian sign language….nice one). I bought three audio CD’s Nirvana, Limp Bizkit and GnR and two DVD’s The Terminal and Madagascar all this for 30 RM. CD are cheap there. I thought of getting more but I did not want to land in trouble with the Singapore customs.so I headed straight back to the bus terminal where a bus was waiting to go to Singapore and boarded it. It was 3 PM and I was hungry, there were few Singaporeans and I asked them how will the route be and where in Singapore will he stop finally. They were kind enough and offered me something to eat and after they heard what happened to me they were shocked. One of them is working in SG software. He intends to come to India sometime in August.so after nearly five hours of journey we reached the border…..this time again I had problems with the Singapore immigration office. They said I don’t have a multiple entry visa to Singapore, and that my visa had expired. I told them that I have visa till 20 Jul, they said that when you get extension of visa you don’t get the multiple entry visa . anyhow they asked me to fill up the form and let me go. In the mean time the bus that I was traveling had left me and gone.they are supposed to be waiting for me. I went back and told the immigration officer what had happened and she was kind enough to escort me to another bus which would take me back to Singapore. The border is pretty far from the nearest bus stop or MRT……..so I reached to a know place and headed back to my room. Boy what a relief to be back home.

David Beckham

I slept mostly on Monday did not go out till lunch. After lunch I went to Ikea to do some shopping and called up colleague as to what she is upto. She told me that the managers mother is here and she is taking her around. She asked me to come to Mustafa and I agreed as I had to get money exchanged. We met up and had dinner and I came back to my room. I have spent nearly four hours in typing this portion. The trip was a good learning experience, I realized that I should have gone for a package trip than being adventurous but no regrets. Been there done that, could have done more but the place did not deserve me as a tourist. Anyhow the night I returned to Singapore Bhoot movie was being aired on the TV saw that and after that saw Last Action Hero……two movies straight in the night.

On Tuesday till lunch I was in my room drafting mail and editing my photos. For lunch I went Novena where a Tahi food festival is going on. I bought Thai Da Da Noodles and spring rolls, the noodles was really great hot and spicy. After having lunch I went to the Singapore Philatelic Museum. It had some good collection of stamps. I bought some 2500+ stamps for 3500 bucks. All kind of stamps from all over the world, Malaysia, Singapore and nude stampsJ. Keshav feeling good uh…..i got a box of 1000 stamps just for you. A huge collection and the IOC Session stamps too that is happening here today. There are so many that I can spend a whole week looking at them and sorting……phew.After seeing the museum I went to the Central Fire Station Museum it was a fire station with all old fire extinguisher equipment. Behind the museum there is Fort Canning Park. It is a hill, on the top of the hill is present Fort Canning where the king used to live in the 19th century. It is a beautiful place admits a lot of greenery. I was surprised to find so much green in the centre of Singapore. I spent around one hour on the top of the hill. I knew that the 117th IOC session was starting today in Singapore and I took my chances to the venue The Raffels Convention Centre, there was tight security and no chances of me going there. So I headed towards The Esplanade. There was some drumming going on there with some typical Chinese dragon dance, I wanted to watch it so I went there. To my surprise all the delegates from the 5 cities were arriving there. And what do I see David Beckham……wahoooooooooooooooooo I saw him it was a great feelingJ. He had come here to represent London. Raul was also here for Madrid and Muhamad Ali for NY, but these guys were not be seen. Beck was wearing a light brown suit and trouser, boy he had that gentle man looks and he sure is he waved at us as he entered the theatre with his compatriots. I waited for nearly one hour for the others to arrive, but they had already arrived at the venue. So I headed back to the Raffels MRT. On the way is the Fullerton Hotel. Here I saw all kind of cars Benz A-Class, Rolls Roy, Lexus, BMW 7-Series and convertibles. I shot all of themJ…….somebody might have thought me as a mad guy tacking snaps in the parking lot……who gives a damn. So I got back to Novena got a tuna bun and two cans of beer. Had the bun and a can of beer and I am done telling you people about my endeavors.

Venkatesh Prasad

Hi PPL
Goooood morning
I am very tired while I m writing this mail to u ppl….it is a PITA
I had a very eventful week end and mind it I mean it
On fri along with my colleagues I went for shopping they wanted to but cameras, clothes and gold and they finished in the night at around 11, by the time I reached room it was mid night watched Species II and then slept.
On sat we had planned to go to Sentosa. It is an island converted into a Resort and a entertainment spot all in one place……..it is a major tourist attraction in Singapore …if u visit Singapore u have to go to Sentosa. Other major attraction is the cable car ride. Unfortunately the operations were suspended as they were upgrading the facility, it would have been a great ride and sightL. It is around 30 minute ride from Little India. We had lunch in a Veg RestaurantL…..on reaching the place we first went to the Underwater World, this place has all kinds of fishes…..man I missed out eating a lot of them we were there for pretty long time……..shooting a lot of pictures and filming some shots too…it was great. It was underground, surrounded by water and we were moving through that enclosure…..like a secret tunnel in those bond movies. Very delighted to be there. After the underwater world oh wait I got a chain with a fish skeletal structure as the pendantJ …..in memory of the fishes I hadJ. So we moved on to Dolphin Lagoon, here they have three PINK coloured dolphins. These dolphins put a great show it was really beautiful……pink willy???the dolphins did a lot of tricks and gave a kiss to one of the audiences.
After that we went to the beach…….it was full of young ppl s s s girlzzzz too they were good. A lot of activity was going on the beach…..showing up the enthu and energy of Singapore. So from there we went to Musical Fountain, we had to wait for nearly one hour for the show to start, behind the presentation arena was a Merlion…..it was a real huge one. It was a great sight to watch. On to my right there was Carlsberg Sky Tower….it is a amusement ride they take about 20+ floors up and rotate it 360 deg so u can take a look a at Singapore from that height. While we were waiting for the show to start to start something good hapnd….guess wat?? Venkatesh Prasad along with his son and a local friend of his came and sat next to us. Wow he asked in Kannada “yennappa heg iddira”…..wonder how he cud fig out dat we were from Bangalore. Anyway he went on n on n on jab jab jab,,,,,,,it was fun.. we had photo session and der were a lot of ppl for dat too…..he handles his fame with ease and he speaks English wid a great accent!!thames lofar......grrrrrrr:-(

What we were waiting for finally started at 7 30 , the Musical Fountain Show with a Laser show. Wow a one hell of event, technology, simplicity and presentation at its best .40 min of pure entrainment. The crowd went ooh and ah!!I was spellbound, so was my camera damn thing went out off memory and battery…..512+16 mb of mem and 2 batt used to the full extent. They were using a thin a sheet of water sprayed into the air at high pressure as the screen for the laser show. It was awesome they showed fishes, dolphins jumping in and out of the water exactly as u wud have seen in tv and the face of a beautiful lady as u wud have seen on a plasma tv…….now can u imagine how technology was used here. After the show we bid fare well to our Indian hero and proceeded towards Mustafa for shopping and dinner. Again veg dinnerLit kinda upset my tummy i m kidding i felt like a pure veg guy trying to eat chicken remember the way maddy ate chicken in the movie RHTDM to impress the shrilling Diya Mirza…….and my collegues shopped and after that we returned bak to our respective rooms. I reached at mid night again.

Next day on Sunday the manager who is here on deputation for six months and myself took of to an island called Pulau Ubin. I left my place at 10 30 and met him and together went ahead to our destination. It took us one and a half hour for the journey. We had to take a ferry to the island man I was excited……;on a ferry cutting thru the oceans water towards our island. The island had a lot of things in store for us just waiting for our arrival. As soon as we reached we got ourselves bicycles…..yes we can ride our bikes all thru the island, the island is not touched by the urbanization dat u find in Singapore. We kept on cycling thru the island admiring the pure nature that was with us all the time. It was raining for some time and then it wud stop and den again it wud hapn. The only thing dat I did not like was on the shores ppl had just left all scrap and was floating all the placeL. We cycled for abt 3hrs totaly. I guess thru all kinds of places……………on raods, dirt tracks swamps n mangroves, up hill down hill….puffing n panting and zipping and zooming. We were very hungry and hit the hotel for food, we had prawns a Chinese foos and fried rice and BEER to wash it down, Carlsberg (from Denmark) and Tiger(locally brewed like KF bak home). We were full and desperately looking ahead for the beach . when we reached the beach I was shocked, not a soul in the waters, any how we had to do it so we hit the beach. Just the two of us in the water. The island has a few Chinese & Bhudist temples, a resort and a prawn farm. There is nothing much to c on the island only cycling thru the jungle hmmm not exactly. We finally reached bak to our starting point at 5 30 and returned our bikes and bak to main land. My battery went off totally at this point of time and wanted to reach my room desperately. On the way I got my dinner and chocolate milk. Reached my room and while watching Spiderman I have managed to type u guys my rollcall.puffing and pantingqwertfgbggn

Place the cup on a cotton cloth and tap twice and remove the cup,,,,,,now u will only have ur preperation widout the cup

Animal Planet

Well this week end was very hectic I was literally blown out of exertion…..puffing and panting. Singapore is truly a Asian country…..hot but a lot humid…..dats Sinagapore…..these were the words of the show presenter at the Jurong Bird Park and I totally agreed with him. Yes I visited all the birds and the animals of the animal kingdom on Saturday. It was really good…..now most of us would say hey these animals are already there in our zoos why go there waste da…???!!!but there us something more tham watching animals in enclosures these animals are left free in their enclosures and u are suppose to pass through them in their enclosures. Well atleast not the carnivorous animals which would like to eat us. First I visited the Jurong Bird Park. Saw a lot of birds all kinds of them parrots, eagles, falcons, macquae, owls,flamingos, cuckoo, mynah,……etc a huge place birds chirping around in their environments created by man successfully and me passing through that place getting close with these birdies. Good nahJ. At 3 PM there was a ALL STAR BIRD SHOW……..there was a splendid performance of the birds. They sang, mimicked,played a game of basket ball and flew really low and close to the audience, to give us a good feel about them. After half and hour of entertainment I moved on another show at 4PM, it was Birds of Prey. All the birds which prey on others meat were shown here kites, falcons, vultures, the secretairy bird…..etc. what they like, where are they found and showed us how they hunt. Here they allowed White Head Eagles to fly above us, man they were really low if I raised my hand a little bit I could have intercepted their flight path…..phew. I visited a few more birdies and at 5:30PM left the place for the Zoo or rather Night Safari. The bird park is far away from the city around one hour of journey.

To reach the zoo it took me nearly 45 minutes, there was already a huge Q for the safari. The zoo is very ideally located, I felt as though I was going into a dense forest rather than a zoo in the midst of concrete jungle. The place was good, here in Singapore it is still bright even at 7:30, I was a little disappointed as it was night safari and even at 7 PM it was broad daylight. But as we went in a tram the show kept on improving. We crossed into many animals and they left us in the middle of the zoo to go for a trail in the wild. It was spooky and very wild in the dark in the jungle and admist the wild animals. I could hear the lions roaming…..phew can get any weak hearted guy pissing in his pants. Then I saw two leapords they were relaxing in their enclosure least bothered of the homo sapiens. One of them was staring at us….thinking wait till I get my paws on u guys he he he…..in the trail there was a bat enclosure and the bats were hanging down upside down……..cool they just at one hand distance from me……keeeeeekkkkkkeeeeeeeeeee
After walking in the jungle I again again hopped on into the tram and again went around the zoo…..it was almost one and a half hour for the entire journey. At the end of the journey there was a show ANIMALS OF THE WILD…it was mind blowing. There was this guy Louie in the crowd, suddenly he gets up and says dat his pet is lost in the show and is 10 feet long, he scared the shit of his neighbours, and then he finally he found his he just screamed when he found the location of his pet and when he got it out it was a python man he had placed in the middle of the amphitheatre where the public were seated. It scared the hell of the people he was very funny and entertaining with his pet snake. It was 9:30 till the fun was over then I moved on to get back to my hotel. On the way back I munched on a fish burger and drank 100 PLUS it is like Red Bull.
By the time I reached my room it was mid night and just crashed on the bed

Next day I got up at 10 AM sigh was very sleepy. I got ready and went to Singapore History Museum. A place worth going to watch all those artifacts and history facts. It is on the banks of the Singapore Museum. I took a walk along the river and it was very beautiful. Skyscrapers, hotels the parliament house and palace. It was a good walk in the hot………phew. After that I wanted to go to The Philatelic Museum, it was a little far so I decide to go to Mustafa, SimLIM and Little India. I had my lunch in Little India and did a little bit of shopping and enquiries. Later I came to Mustafa and did a little more shopping and headed straight back to my room. Now I am watching Rush Hour 2 typing this mail to u ppl……

in the evening my friend who is studying Engineering here but is doing a project like a mini one here in delphi wanted to go shop for his computer....so i went with him on his bike

ok so we went to the place SimLim Square to check out his computer parts.
after he was done we both bought a 1GB thumb drive..........and later set off to check out a camera for me in the same place.
we checked out a few places for Cannon Ixus 40.......as i was bedazzled by its looks and slimness...in one shop the salesman showed me a Fujifilm camera which has 5.2 mp and showed the difference of pic quality.....it was very good and the price diff only 750 more. and he also told me that Ixus 40 comes with a local warranty and u have to pay to get a global warranty, the model cannon has stopped producing and the flip to add and remove the battery and mem card has problems as it is very prone to break.
after lots of obligations and delegations and Q&A and thinking and bilateral talks....i finally decided to get the fuji camera.here are its specs

On Saturday I had been to a place calle Tana Merah…..there was some kind off sale…..but it was not there at all……any ways that was on the eastern side of the island
Long ride great view of the local places around…….i miss my camera

I returned back to a place called City Hall……there was a shopping mall I the railway station……boy wat a place ……all brands available very posch. Later I moved on to Marina Bay shopping mall there wasn’t much kinda ok……opposite to the mall there is the Marina Bay. It was a great sight ……….took a walk along the bay there were a few open air theaters for perfrormance……all of them were closed except for one. It was rock climbing competion organized by the students of Singapore. They were all professional climbers in the event. It was a good sight to watch……spent some time there.
Across the bay there was that lion throwing water out of its mouth……I don’t know wat they call it ……..gotta find dat out.

From there I went to Esplanade…..it is a shopping mall and theater. Ok most of us have seen this on the tv it is that twin porcupine kind off building……where they turn off and on the lights from one end to the other of the building……hmmmm I n a photo would be better….but I don’t have a camera LwaaaaaaaaaaaLok by next week end I hope to get it.
Now I m tired…..took the train to Mustafa…..hungry and thirsty……I looked out for a food court and ordered for Laksa…it has a yellow colour noodle, prawns, fish and some more meat I could not recognize wat dey were in soup. I did not like it much.With dat I had miloJ

After having lunch I walked my way to Sim Lim tower passing through small Indian shops………I bought a watch and Zippo’s walked along ……sim lim is pretty far by foot. On the way there is something like chor bazaar and second hand stuffs it is called Patt Street. Lots of things there I saw a tigers claw and ivory for sale….u n they hang it in ur neck like dat…..u may land up in some good bargains there although they are not brand new.
Ok I finally reached Sim Lim tower guess for wat …..for camera….but hey hold on I did not buy them reason I don’t have enough money. So went on enquiring abt the prices and models and u n wat these ppl are really mean if u don’t buy it….they some times act crazy……i was totally exhausted by now and decided to come back to home oops hotel rather….got a drink cool one on the way . reached my place and got refreshed.
One more interesting thing I took a dip in the bath tub…..phew it was great I though a Sauna was the best but this is the best,,,,,,it relaxes u a lot haaaa
Ok now I am planning to go hunting for some Chinese food and make few calls
Chao for sat bug u later with a big mail for sun

Ok Sunday here I wat was a little gloomy to start …..the weather was pleasant and encouraging to go out. I started off late from my room at 12 . I have to pass by a place which has a huge building called Novena Square to catch a train. In this place wat do I see zooooooooooooom zoooooooooooooom cars racing around a small car . yes there were small cars running on petrol controlled by some processor whichwas getting its inputs from the driver standing on a podium from a remote controller. These cars were reall cool I thought I will buy one but later I saw dat the kit is as big as my suitcase damn. Any ways it was a sight watching these small cars zipping past the circuit and racing each other I spent around one hour here. Later I proceeded to Ang Mo Kio this is an industrial park and lots of apartments are here like Bombay but a lot better. My office is also situated here. I got douwn from the station which is above the ground. I was wondering wat to do.i saw a place called Big Mac……it is local shopping mall. I went there took a long walk staring at a lot of things…….wat to buy and wat not.shoes shirtd soveniers…………bla bla bla. After going around the place once and getting to know what to buy where…..i straight away plunged for food……….hmmm had fish ball noodles I think I can make it my staple food……after having lunch I did some shopping t-shirts. After dat I got back to my hotel dumped all my stuff and relaxed for a while.

Oh yeah I have one tragedy to share I bought a electric hair trimmer to keep my hairs as I like them short….i decided to use them in the morning and while I was using the damn thing gave up it chopping my hairs L…..that too while I was trimming the hairs on the back of my head…..i guess it looks disgusting but I will have to wait till I reach office tomorrow and ask how is it……getting a cut here will be a costly affair…..i had got that trimmer from Patt Street….huh………well I m optimistic that I need not have a cut again I think I m a good barber myselfJ

Now I am planning to go to Orchard Street……to just take a stroll while I write u guys this episode.oh yes I figured the name of the lion which spits water out of its mouth…it is called Merilon……after I reached the rail way station called MRT I changed my mind and went to Bishan there is a shopping mall called JUNTI8N pronounced as Juntion 8. I did not do much just surfed around all the floors and the shops…..there is this Great Singapore Sale there are some real good offers but I am confused too much to buy……and less space and money ok so dats it great week comes to an end and a new one is waiting for me, I have to fix my dinner now bye.
