Lepakshi and Nandi Hills, A ride..

This was mine and Vijay's fourth bike trip back in 2012 or 2013, I don't remember the date. We had planned for a one day trip, we decided upon lepakshi and nandi hills.We started around seven in the morning. Not encountering much of a traffic inside the city, we crossed the city in about 40 min.There was a lot of speculation about an uproar in Andhra. Keeping that in mind we drove off past the international airport. Driving on the Bangalore-Hyderabad highway was one of the most enjoying drives that I had while driving outside of Bangalore. The highway doesn't have any speed breakers as such. All along the side are quite a barren land with a lil bit of greenery. The wind is very very heavy, which actually drifts the bike away from a straight line. We reached Lepakshi in the estimated time. The temple in Lepakshi is known for the roof top paintings, whatever is left of them. I was expecting a lot more of visual pleasure of the paintings, but most of them was left in

Feeling Inspired..

Finding inspiration is one of the toughest things these days. People depend on famous people quotes or works to get inspired. There are many talks and sessions conducted just for this cause. In between all these we tend to forget common people acts, with which one can get inspired. Recently I had one inspiration like this. It was a common man like us who inspired me. There is this guy in the housekeeping staff in my office, his action on that day inspired me a lot. Just to give a background on him; he is one of the very friendly housekeeping staff member. He normally enjoys his work, I have never seen him being sad at workplace. Greets many people with a broad smile every day in and day out. One day we had a mobile charger lying in our cubicle. For fun I had put up a post-it (as shown in the picture above). He came to me to ask what was that I had written on both the post-its. After explaining him, I offered him that charger and told him that was for free. He refused to t

Hello [no Hi]..

Image
Off late I feel that Hi is not a proper way to greet people. Hello is much more majestic way to give salutation or greet people in English language. On the other hand Hi is more of a casual way of greeting people; and being casual is too mainstream. I know that there is nothing wrong in greeting people with Hi and nothing right about greeting people with Hello. Its just that I feel whenever you greet a person whom you care then greeting them majestically is always better than a casual way. Don't get me wrong here, I am not expecting an hello from everyone. It is just that I don't feel good if I wish Hi to a person whom I care. Greeting with a Hi is like when u know someone but also when you are in a hurry.  While some might argue that Hi implies more personal greeting and Hello more formal way. Hello indicates the politeness in a person and Hi is just an easy, quick and careless way of greeting people. Just imagine your life being narrated by Morgan Freeman, then he g

Back to the Childhood..

At this age of 27, I am currently living my childhood again. I ain't no time traveler, so this is no story about Space-time continuum or any stuff like that. I have this experience of living my childhood again when I play with my niece. My niece is one little being who gets happy for even a small thing, and get angry for no reason at all. My home becomes more festive when she comes. My parents will be running behind to catch her. She walks everywhere; be it on the floor, be it on chocolate, be it on a ball, be it on a keyboard; she just doesn't care. Walking makes her happy and she just walks. When given a paper, or a tissue or anything tear-able; she just tears. Scribbling is one of the most fun things that she does. And she scribbles on many things. I have a few of my walls in my room decorated by her. And that is one of the very few stuffs that makes my room look more lively. Its fun when you watch these kinda cute little things, but you would enjoy it more when you are b

Musicaly Inspired World..

Picture courtesy: wallbase.cc This is a right fitting post on the day of the 55th Annual Grammys. Music is an art form which knows no boundary. This is one single entity which inspires most of the people in this world and has the potential to inspire nearly every single human. One of the very few reasons I wake up every morning to this insane routine, is that I get to listen to music. It can bring in mental peace in difficult times. It make me control my rage and brings me clear thoughts. Music liberates people from their pain and suffering. When it can do so much for a person like me, it can surely do wonder for normal people. Be it rock, rap, reggae, metal, pop, hip-hop, alternative or any other genre; most of us humans like some or the other form of music. If every single human can be united by music, then there would be no Asians, Americans, British or any regional boundaries. I am a person who promotes world peace, even though being enraged most of the times; I feel the only

Being sadly angry!

Picture courtesy: deviantART Sad and Anger are two such emotions which never goes along. It just doesn't blend in like others. It make one's brain numb most of the time. I have always see in movies, series and other media that once a person is sad and angry at the same time; anger takes over sadness and that person would act out of rage. But when you experience it, that's not the case.  When one is sadly angry, that person would mostly be silent. If one acts out of anger in this scenario, his/her sadness would not be gone, as what ever happened in the past cannot be corrected totally by the future or present action. So what ever is shown in movies for this kinda mixed emotion is inaccurate. Being sadly angry is difficult for one's brain to handle. If one want to act out in rage one would be too sad to do stuff; but if that person wants to be sadly depressed, his/her anger would not let him/her be depressed. This is the point when silence kicks in and that scum

Wishing "Happy New Year", My way...

Image
Wish all my reader a Very Happy New Year ; and especially wishing it in this new year 2013. Not on December 29th, 30th or 31st of 2012; but on the 1st of January 2013. This is the right way to wish. Most people should make this one thing as a new year's resolution to wish any new year only in the new year. Not on the last day of the last year or in month of December. Its totally absurd to wish people Happy New Year in December; be it at 31st night 23:59 hrs. One doesn't wish a newly born baby for an anniversary, just because in the future it might date some person and might get married. Or one doesn't congratulate a last placed person in a race, just because that person might win races in future. It is just like this if you wish some one a new year when it is still the old goddamn year. The only possible reason to prematurely wishing some one happy new year would be if you vanish into a game and would not be seeing that person in the next year at all. If you even see th
