Whew! Its monday morning again!! Listening to some good music in an effort to keep myself awake.. :D

Was doing some travelling on weekend on these Bangalore roads trying to reach my relatives' place at the other end of the city. The traffic in namma bengaluru has increased exponentially over the past few years creating all kinds of traffic woes for commuters.

Here's what I think are the top 5 on blr roads!!

1. People riding on the extreme left of the road suddenly realising they need to take a right turn and yeah..they do so without thinking twice!! The amazing skills the auto drivers possess of turning the handle in microseconds...

2. People crossing the roads with their brains wandering in some other world... The irritating part is when they look to their left when they are supposed to be looking in the other direction :P! And the confused lot who keep 2 steps forward and then one backward confusing the driver all the way and making sure both have a fall :D! Also wonder at times that how sure they are that the 2 wheeler coming their way has really good brakes and will come to a halt when they come across? :P

3. The vehicles blocking the free left turn at probably every signal... and the buses(so-called public transport) blocking the entire traffic standing right in the middle of the road or maybe these govt. and pvt. buses trying to overtake each other without giving a damn about anyone else on the road!!!

4. Incessant honking at traffic signals...wonder if they are just trying to prove that their vehicle does have a horn and a good one at that! :P

5. This is my fav... People trying to balance 2-wheelers with both their foot down and the handle shaking... trying to create friction between their foot and the road... wish they had done it barefoot just to realise what their footwear goes thru :P!!

To end on a positive note... people do manage to stop when they see the signal go red :D!!

Boring Morning...

Came through some awful traffic on the way to office today!! Looked down from the flyover near my office just to find a road that was yellow, courtesy the Autorickshaw population...Whew!

Then meeting at 9:30 in the morning to start my day :(

Hoping the day gets better!!

A Rainy Evening...

Bangalore is very cloudy since morning today with the sun playing hide and seek for few mins in the afternoon. After that its a beautiful rainy evening. A perfect evening to be sipping some hot coffee(something which I m doing right now :D) and yeah eat something really hot n spicy.

Was watching the rains sometime ago, and it brought back some good ol' memories... each one worth cherishing. Listening to some soft soothing music as I write this really short post.

The weather is just perfect for anyone to enjoy an evening all by oneself if single or with that someone special if not so single ;) Would love to get drenched in these rains... For anyone who has not tried it believe me its good fun!! If I m riding...its good fun to splash water on others around u at times :D(how many of you are reminded of the Hajmola ad here? :P)

Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday evening... I m for sure :)

Here I m writing my second post after a long time... Was too lazy these days to even type a word!!

Yesterday was going through some of my mehendi design collection and suddenly the thought of putting something on my blog occurred to me. This hobby of mine started when I was probably in 7th Std or so. I used to love mehendi on my hand but no one around had the art or the patience for it. Thats when I decided I would try it myself. The whole activity kept me interested and I just became better at it by the day. Its a great distraction when I m bored or low coz of the concentration element. Below are some pics of my handiwork :D.

This is what I had in store for my friend on her engagement. I wasnt confident I would do a good job out of it, but I guess their confidence made me do it... In the end it did look alright!!
This is on her wedding... was amazing fun pulling her leg, not letting her talk to the groom on the phone.. poor thing ;)!! Took me about 4 hours to finish back n front of 2 hands and applied some on the feet too!

This was the first bridal mehendi I applied... these hands are my cousins.. Never planned for it.. the lady who had to apply the mehendi said she cannot do it in the last minute. There was no other choice but for me to do it, did this with the readymade cones from the shop(usually I make my own as the readymade ones do create problem sometimes) and that too with a bad headache on! In the end it was satisfying to see the bride happy :)

Will end this post here... will post more pics as and when I click them! Till then njoy!
