Patience paid off!

Ha! 5 hours.. It was worth the wait. India crushed the Gorey Langoors to a 4-0 series win at our own Bengalooru amidst all the rain that has been troubling the city for the last 2-3 days. I was expecting yet another carnival when Indians were put to bat by KP after winning the toss. But just when Veeru and Gauti were cruising...

The one and only Dada.

I am back after a well-deserved break...:P Thanks to a certain Salmonella Typhae(read 'Typhoid'). And to be honest, it's real tough to be offline.. :D Last 10 days or so in Dharwad, I was completely cut out from all things that could help me be 'online'.. So, while I swallowed innumerable pills and drank syrups like water, lying down on the sofa, all...

Kung Fu Awesomeness!

Yesterday, I watched this animated movie "Kung Fu Panda" which has been around for quite some time now. The movie scores most of its points through Jack Black, who is simply amazing as Po, the giant Panda. Enjoyed most of the fight sequences, especially the one where Tai Lung escapes from the prison and Po's training sessions.  Worth a watch. Doubt: I didn't...

A strange week.

This week has been rather strange. The first three days were marked by the political drama(in which I'm least interested.. except for the impact on the BSE), trust vote situation and Manmohan Singh's victory, blah blah blah. The latter half, however, was devastating where a combined 25 blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad claimed many innocent lives. Around 8 blasts took place on friday...
