Bangalore

After so may times crossing by this city in last 2-3 years; about a month back I settled here with my new job! A new job.. yes! I have what I promised to find for me when I left Infosys. I have a job I like!
In June when I came to Bangalore in search of work, it was more of a retreat away from home in search of the job I would like. And it is so satisfying today to say that today as an employed person (may be too soon to say, but still..) I eagerly wait for the Monday! :)

In all this while needless to say I found myself infatuated towards the city. I say infatuated cause I am a one-city girl! My love will always be Jaipur - The Pink City! But then I favour open relationship and so I am looking forward to a short time affair with Bangalore! :)

Perfect European-like weather. Timely and untimely rains! Streets that I walk on! People I meet! Places I go... I like it all. Everything ensures that fixed smile on my face! Including food!
Yes... I have never ever anywhere experimented with so many cuisines over so many restaurants!
But there is this one restaurant that I cherish the experience of. The restaurant is called Veekes and Thomas! :)



This restaurant was opened up by these two guys Veekes and Thomas with a promise to serve authentic continental food. To test the promise that the restaurant was adorning on one of its wall, I ordered a Chicken Lasagna. Till date there had been only few rare place that actually served good authentic Lasagna! And Veekes and Thomas ensured their name on the list! The Lasagna was least to say yummy!! :)
The ambiance of the English looking restaurant was the cherry on the cake. One complete wall adorned the framed photographs of music bands and actors of the retro era. I recognized Al Pacino to my best knowledge along with some music bands of 60s and 70s. And the music played brought the souls in the photographs to life!

To add to our experience it so happened that the very day that we had brought our hunger quest to Veekes & Thomas was their 10 year anniversary! And so the free dessert... :D
With this choco treat one of my best experience of a restaurant came to end and I bid it adieu with a promise to return.....

Recalling Ooty trip!

Ooty trip. 24th - 25th October 2009. Most memorable trip! This trip was my escape plan! My birthday was falling on this weekend and I didn't want it to be like the birthday routine (mostly at food court 5 - oasis) of the Infosys, Mysore campus. So when I heard Sachit (who was from my college but had come to know him during training as he sat one seat beside me) planning a trip to Ooty with all his friends. I showed my interest in joining them clearly stating how I didn't want to be in the campus on my birthday falling that Sunday. He agreed. That is how I happen to go on this trip with Sachit, Sharad, Shikha and Varun. All were new to me! Before this trip I have hardly ever exchanged formal greeting with them and now here I was going to a beautiful hill station on a weekend! We left early morning for Udhagamandalam. On the way we had to cross Bandipur National Park. We stopped there and decided to take a Safari ride. Well it happened so that we missed on the early morning Safar...

Learning the hard way

Classroom teaching is organized learning where in words of many researchers and analysts decide what content will be taught and in what manner. As a child everybody has had their times of despising classroom either for selective subject or like me, simply for all of them. But 20 years past one realizes how essential indeed were those classroom sessions. And that is cause of the natural phenomenon that one understands the importance of something in life when that goes away from you. Have come too far from classrooms. And the most painful part in all of this is the fact that learning is not seized. Lot of things we are still suppose to learn in the daily course of action. But these lessons do not come from well structured course books illustrated by a teacher, it come to us the hard way. Hours after any incidence you analyze and understand the triggering factors for the event and their effective impacts. And then you really introspect that what & how exactly one was supposed to do in...

Mera purna-janam hua hai!

That is what I said at my party as I stand today having resigned from Infosys and now going back home to search for a job I would like! I am reborn! Its not that I am seeing my proffessional life as something which will have fresh start but also relations. People come up with complete other side to themselves when they know that one of them is leaving and that there is a possibility that you might not meet that person again. Last three parties post my last day at office have been such experiences and it has made me richer! :) On tuesday after office I went out with all my toastmasters friends! Toastmasters was the only thing which kept me busy in "true" sense at office! And so it was special. I was been surprised with this lovely cake they all got for me : After decently having cake, I was being warned that if the cake would not finish I would have to face the fate and so it was.... And these were the culprits .. And so after all present there had their part of fun we all we...
