I am back.....

Its been more than 8 months since my last blog(my previous blog shows the date as Thursday, May 29, 2008). I started blogging as a pass time since i had nothing much do for 6 weeks when i met with an accident, but after joining work i had so many things going on in my life- CAT preparation, work life(to prove myself in the new project), my life other than work(work life balance :)...), my physical structure(didn't go to gym regularly last year), i had no time to blog(to be read as ' I am lazy'). But now i am back,the reasons being i am almost free nowadays-today was my project implementation day, for the past 2 weekends i had nothing much do( my weekend friend is enjoying the winter at her home) ,CAT got screwed up:(... and i am bored again.

So wat did i do for the past 8 months other than the activities mentioned above, to be frank i think nothing much. I stopped trekking, no more bike trips with the gang(biker boyz are no more :(....), weekdays were spent in office and weekends were spent in classes and adlabs. This continued till last month and on Jan 11 2009, i went to a bike trip again, this time to Udupi which is 60 kms from m'lore.

A day before Jan,11 as part of pongal celebration, the tamils in Infy m'lore organised a cultural gala which was celebrated for 3 days(i didn't participate in any of the three days, but when i first came to m'lore i took part in pongal celebration in 2007 ) and on the last day we organised for lunch for the whole of infy m'lore(serving some 2000 odd people). Can you see me in the below pics??(top row extreme last but one from left in white , tat was in 2007 and sitting third from right in 2009)


Last time i visited Udupi was i think the week before pongal celebration in 2007 and this time it was the day after. With no good movies on that week and bored of roaming in m'lore, me and my weekend friend decided to go to Udupi, we started our journey at around 10 in the morning,it took almost 1 and 1/2 hours to reach Shri Krishna Matha (more details can be found here). We had a darshan there and had lunch in the temple itself- rice,rasam, sambhar and a sweet was served, but it seemed it was the best food i had till now.(I once saw Padma Lakshmi sitting in the same place and having food as any other devotee,of course inside the Idiot box).


After having lunch and visiting 2 more temples our next stop was the Malpe beach/St. Mary's island(more details can be found here). I have been there before but the water and the rocks still attracted me.I think u can clearly notice that in these pictures, same place, same person but different years:)




We were there for more than an hour,then we went to Malpe beach ,had a fried fish freshly caught from the sea and returned to m'lore around 9.Its 3:02 am now, i cannot write more.............zzzzzzzzzzz
