A bike ride to Savandurga

On 15th august we went to Savandurga on bikes. It was on Independence day and hence everyone was having holiday. Hari messaged me on 14th evening and told to go out somewhere and I agreed without thinking anything as I was too bored of routine life. Then I asked Jeda to join us, but he was supposed to go to Shimoga to attend some marriage function. I must tell he attends a lot of functions. Then Hari asked his colleagues and also asked Sadananda Bhatta. Bhatta is my friend since school days. Finally 6 of us were ready to go to Savandurga. We left at 9:00 Am from here as I had gone to play cricket till 9. Me and Hari left from our house and went to Kengeri. 2 Bhattas were waiting there. One Bhatta I knew from childhood days and another Bhatta I met him there. He was Hari’s friend. Then 2 more guys joined us. At may be 10 we left from Kengeri and directly headed towards Savandurga. We had plans to visit dodda aladamara and manchinbele dam while coming back. We reached Savandurga at around 12:20 pm and went to temple. After that we planned to trek that hill but some police constables did not allow us to climb the hill. There were some accidents in recent past and they did not allow us. We left from there towards manchinbele dam. After some 5-10 km we noticed that two guys were not with us. Nagesh and Ganapati were the guys who were not there when we noticed. We waited there for around 30-45 mins. Then Hari went back looking for them. Unfortunately nobody’s cell was having network coverage. After some more waiting we saw our two great guys coming back. When asked about their delay they told they were having lunch (Dasoha) at some temple. All 4 of us were so shocked that we could not react at that moment. Later we all laughed and headed towards Manchinbele dam. We reached the dam at around 3 after having lunch at some Dhaba. We did not reach the actual Dam location but we reached a place where all the water will be streamed. We were sitting at the shore and 2 guys dived into water to swim. Just few minutes’ later Tavrekere police came and started shouting. They did not leave us there anymore. We packed everything and headed towards DoddaAladaMara. That was the first time I saw that tree although it is present in Bangalore only. We were having tea and I got a call from my manager saying some Production issue. Anyway we were going home so I did not hurry up anything. We reached home by around 7 in the evening.

House party with the team

It all started over a cup of coffee. Me and Shree were having coffee and I mentioned about hosting a house party in my place. I just mentioned about my thought and as always Shree got pumped up with all her energy and pushed me to send the invite immediately. I always think and think and think, but always delay in executing. I had this thought from almost an year but never took that initial step of inviting. It was Friday evening when I sent that invite for Wednesday. I had already decided I would be working from home on Thursday and from friday anyways I would be on vacation. So that would be an ideal get together before my vacation.  I could not do any arrangements over weekend as I was totally busy with other things. On monday people started accepting my invite and I started to realize the open tasks. There were mainly 3 things in my list; logistics, food and drinks. Logistics was the main thing. Monday a...

Love/Arranged Marriages

Few days back I was discussing about marriages in India and the discussion was mainly on whether to get married to a person whom we find ourselves or to a person whom our parents find. In both the cases we have to compromise on many things and in both the case after compromise also we are not assured that the partner is right for us. In arranged marriage, we will marry a person whom our parents decide. Our parents chooses a person on various criteria like his/her family, his/her current job, his/her current salary, his/her economic condition, his/her horoscope and all non-sense stuff which really doesn’t matter. These things do matter but according to me the only thing a person should look in his partner are his/her thinking patterns. Parents give much more importance to the family, and in this case i am totally against to their thinking. I have seen so many cases where the sons/daughter thinks quite opposite to what their parents think. For instance there is a friend of mine...

Crazy Movie-Marathon

If someone asks, ‘what is the one thing you have done which you will probably never do?’ I would say this. Yesterday (2/24/2018) I watched 4 movies back to back in theatre. If I think I would be shocked myself. Fuck me what the hell was that, 4 movies I mean seriously??? Yes, I watched it and to add more I watched all 4 movies sitting in 2 nd row from the screen in the same hall, same place. Now Oscar fever is going on everywhere and AMC theatres are playing Oscar nominated movies back to back on 2 consecutive Saturdays. First Saturday 4 movies would be played, and second Saturday 5 remaining movies would be played. We just have to buy a day pass and watch all the movies played on that day. Yesterday they played ‘Phantom Thread’ at 10:30 AM, ‘Lady Bird’ 1:00 PM, ‘Three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri’ at 3:00 PM and ‘The shape of water’ at 6:00 PM. AMC must have spent some time choosing the order of the movies I would say. First movie’s genre was Drama/Romance, second was...
