Wander-Clicks

Yesterday, it rained through the day in B'Lore. A lovely smooth, flowing rain. Not the harsh kind. Wonderful weather! 

Bangalore's getting a 2-tier (one elevated, one at ground-level) road on Hosur Road. Lotsa traffic from El City and Tamil Nadu use this road. Will this project help bring down the traffic snarls? We'll wait and see . 

I performed on stage @ work. "Danced", though not sure what people might call it. That's the dress for the RdB bhangra song. 

This is the single largest restaurant bill that I've ever seen... 17grand!! Rupees, ofcourse. No, not my pocket. 

I finished the first six volumes of the Dark Tower series sometime back. Took me way too long to get the last part of the saga. No hardcover in stock though :(

Three men in a bummel.. Hope it is as good as 3 men in a boat.

Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner has been highly recommended by a lot of people.

Meera Syal's book should be as funny as her acting is.

Haruki Murakami's books again have been highly recommended to me. I started this book yesterday and am half through. Pretty interesting book, I should say. 

One of the Air-conditioned volvo buses running on suburban routes. Route Number 2. These buses are a huge success in B'Lore. Here's hoping that BMTC takes this further. FYI, Chennai tried a/c coaches years ago but it was subsequently scrapped. 

The loo in the 6222 train I took from chennai sports this wonderful hole in the roof.


The insides.


Another view. 

This cutie-pie is a cousin. I don't know the number - first/second/watever. :D 

So, that's supposedly what I do at work!! Hmpf!! 

Fields await the next crops.

The temple in my hometown/village.

Close encounters of the God kind.

After 6 long years, I visit my hometown in Kerala. This auto is my means of getting there.

Dubai is completely filled with such construction sites. Towers are the norm. Tall, taller, tallest - the moto. 

My daily cuppa Earl Grey tea. I think I love Earl Grey tea the most. :D


Arabic food: Homos with Meat. It's made from chickpeas and other stuff.


A wonderfully arranged plate of Stuffed Vine Leaves.


All Arabic food joints place this humungous plate of vegetables and leaves alongside your order. I wonder if somebody would actually eat all of it - including the bell pepper. 

The roads in Dubai are landscaped with such brightly coloured flowers. Supposedly, the administration also replants with different colours occasionally. The first thing you notice during landing at Dubai are these bright islands of colours. 

In sepia tone!
A beautiful phone.. :( I really wish I can keep both phones. 

You can get yourself ferried across the creek for 50fils. Narrow boats, crowded. Boats crash against each other nonchalantly. That's the way they free their paths. People milling around to get on to a boat.
