I love such Mondays :)

Its monday evening four o clock and am writing this post from home...
today when i went to work in the morning, my boss called and said go back home, for the hard work the team has done , we are taking a days break ..:) and so i got to come back home early today instead of my usual 10 pm or 11 pm :)

But then again the pessimistic me thinks.. will this one day off cause me not to get those leaves i'm looking forward too.Will i be able to take off to attend V's wedding ??(He's surely never gonna speak to me if i dont :(()
Hope this one day does not screw up my plans ...

anyway.. while it lasts lemme enjoy the remaining part of magnificent monday :)

A nice Sunday morning and a Photo Walk… Purffect

Today I finally got to be a part of a Bangalore Photowalk. The third of its kind.

And the first for me…the concept of walking to see places for me was from London.. I could not quite do a London Walk… but managed something called a Freedom Trail in Boston.. and ever since have been wanting to do such walks closer home.

I read about the Chennai walks but was never able to be a part of it.. (never consciously made time I guess)

And when I moved to Bangalore and read about the Bangalore photo walk…. I just had to be a part of it…

And yippeeee I finally was a part of it today J

We were a group of 15 people, me a perfect stranger to Bangalore others I must say had spent some considerable yrs here. . We started at the intersection of Richmond Road and Brigade Road , right where the war memorial is.

It was fascinating to see these streets at 8 am on a Sunday morning..(My usual time around Brigade Road has always been post 7.00 pm :)

We walked along the Commissariat Road and clicking several, yes, several random pics till we hit Mayo hall and the public utility building. All the while we were getting tidbit trivia from Karthik n Hari.

Every angle of the Mayo hall was probably clicked : ),after which we emerged out at Bangalore central.

I have never seen Garuda Mall so empty.. well at 9 in the morning what do u expect ? : ) .We walked further down, crossed the football stadium, a fire station, Ashok Nagar Police station, Sacred Heart Church.. J I did a round of Eicher Map (yes I’m glued to the map these days trying to explore the city J) browsing after I came back from our trail.. and I’m impressed with what we covered.

We overran on the estimated time, and ended the walk around 11 ish roundabout the same place we started.

A small bunch of us headed to India Cofee house on MG road for Breakfast post the walk…

At the end of it..is a satisfied me..waiting to be a part of the next walk to happen next month.

Thank you Karthik for bringing the concept to Bangalore :)

Meanwhile I’d probably try familiarize myself with other places in Bangalore with my eicher Map or some climbing etc around Bangalore. This is however dependent on my work scene over weekends L

Feeling elated...

Today i feel good...Nothing has changed...neither work wise nor life wise....Everything is as dull as before... but still something inside me murmurs an appreciation...says "good job".

Wonder why....What changed....Hope the inner feeling lasts... :)

night night

Vent Post.....

I've really not been having a great time...its hard to clench your teeth through everything.. i want to unclench and smile....:(

Am confused and muddled up.. am asked to do "south" by person A and person B asks me to do bang opposite, "north"... whichever i do I'm in for trouble...

Aaaaaargh .......

I feel like running away into wilderness somewhere faraway.. but again the lonliness there is frightening to me.


Aaargh again...
