Here are some photos from the biking expedition. I haven't been able to write down the trip experience and wish to do that before it fades away from my memory.

My stay at SAP Labs comes to an end today. Now I will have to convince the consciousness of every cell in my body to stop doing what they have been used to doing from last three years. Let me tell you, it is not a good state to experience. I know many friends who switch companies frequently, wonder how they come to terms with it so easily.I joined SAP Labs quitting Oracle (Hyderabad). I remember

The much awaited Himalayan trip is realizing this month!. Few years back, I missed it when I couldn't join two of my friends who made it to the trekking expedition. National Himalayan Mountain Biking Expedition, Leh-Ladakh:2007, is a high altitude biking expedition in the Leh-Ladakh region organized by YHAI. Ladakh is gifted with unspoiled landscapes, gigantic valleys, serene lakes, high peaks

Last week been to a trek which was different from the ones I have been earlier. It was through a organized group and was led by Gerry Martin, my motivation to join them was this herpetologist, whose shows on TV couple of years back were awe inspiring!. I was fascinated that Gerry would catch snakes and I will get a closer look and probably hold them too, unfortunately we didn't find any. We did

Two years back around this time heavy rainstorms uprooted hundreds of trees in south Bangalore. Floods, traffic jams, power cuts used to be the signature of this season. An estimation says, on one such day 128 trees were uprooted! and the total reached many hundreds!!. What used to be thick foliage around the city has turned into a scanty cover of green today. This year situation is not that

Today I got a call from M, an acquaintance through an interest group. As usual I thought it must be to update on some event or something like that. After the exchange of pleasantries M told there is a marriage proposal for him and started enquiring about a female because she works in the same company as I do. The conversation was eccentric, which I'll not attempt to put in my words rather I'll

A long stroll in mini forest (J P Nagar) with V yesterday, belongs to that category of revitalizing walk which I look forward. V is among very few people with whom you can converse on topics ranging from networking to girish kasaravalli movies, from s l bhairappa to amitabh bachan, from bangalore to bay area, from tennis to meaning of life, such is the range of his knowledge!.

Krishna Narain a.k.a KN passed away in an unfortunate accident at his camp Gee Dee yesterday. I couldn't believe when a fellow member of growing wild called and informed me. It is shocking that a petty accident lead to the end of such a strong person.I met him first couple of years back at Gee Dee when Ramki had taken us for an weekend outing. That's where I came to know KN personally, his

Today's Hindu Magazine carries an article on the success story of tiger conservation in Nagarahole by chennairoads. Here are the highlights from the article..Until about 1964, gunshots rang out in and around Nagarahole regularly as bounty hunters pursued the big cat. "There was a bounty on killing tigers from the 1800s during the reign of Kodagu Kings almost up to 1964. There used to be a

The Blank Noise Project, is an initiative by a group of people who are working together to bring up eve teasing as a street sexual harassment and seek to recognize it as a serious issue.I came across this project through their online blog, which led me to deeply think on the issue. After going through the testimonials from so many girls, I could sense the amount of trauma the victim goes through.

I have always been fascinated with the thought of running for no reason. Yes!, remember Forrest Gump?. Forrest running across states for couple of years is something which comes close to my fantasy with respect to running. I am yet to find the source for such an urge in me. At least I can trace the reason now, for those dreams I had, involving chasing where I overrun the chaser most of the times;

When we hear the word "Conservation", the first thing strikes to our mind is that, it is someone else's job. Apart from several misconceptions, it's also been associated with kind of fascinating world to be in. So what is conservation?, more than that what is the need for conservation?. There have been many explanations from scientific to emotional, from commercial to idealistic. I will put

This evening was at SANKARS in Rangashankara. There was this play "Shakuntala" by Little Jasmine, it sounded interesting, droped in to check out.The play was a re-imagination of the epic Shakuntala story for the contemporary age.

I am reading this book Feelings which is giving me deeper insight into various human emotions I had felt and was unable to express in words. Everyone would have had the evocation of these emotions independent of words more or less the same. But when it comes to understand/interpret them and express them we confuse one with other and more often fail to distinguish between the many related forms of

Hearing the mixed opinions on the latest Bond flick, was little skeptical of the impact it would make on the reputation of the James Bond movies. Well, it has silenced every critics mouth and made its way to the top slot. This one is based on the Ian Fleming's first book on the Mi6 agent, shows how James Bond becomes 007. I have always been a fan of bond movies, have watched around 20 of them.

After reading the novel with the same name by S L Bairappa a couple of months back, picked this movie more out of curiosity the other day.The novel was quite radical for the time. An orthodox brahmin scholar's (Srinivasa Shrothri) belief forms the theme of the book. Several characters assume the key roles who

After listening to the Shaam Se Aankh Mein, Ek Parvaz Dikhayi Di Hai, Zindagi Yun Hui Basar Tanha from the album Marasim released seven years back by the legendary poet and the ghazal singer, I always hoped for more such albums. It has come true with Koi Baat Chale after long wait.In Marasim the songs circled around agony, estrangement, mourning, solitude., in the ethereal voice of Jagjit Singh

Dear Readers,The historical Bhimgad, part of western ghats lies north of Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary in Uttar Kannada district. It is a home to rich diversity of plant and animal species. Karnataka State Government has chosen to sell off this precious segment of western ghats. A petition has been filed to stop mining, felling of trees in the area and to declare Bhimgad as Wildlife Sanctuary.You

KN(www.indiabirds.com co-founder) invited all the interested wildlife enthusiasts and bird watchers for a special private screening of nature sounds by Andrew Skeoch (an Australian nature sound recorder) at his huge traditional house "Kalakshithi" near Netkallappa circle, N R Colony. Myself and Ramki left office early and reached there late:D. It had started at sharp 6.30, we missed the precious

In this award winning movie of Girish Kasaravalli the agony of a young couple finding to settle down in a city with new house is portrayed with noise being depicted as metaphor for the villain. Naseerudin Shah (Rajanna) and Deepti Naval (Geeta) play the young couple who leave the joint family in a village to explore the independent life with a bursting desire of living together. After an ardent

An interesting article on neuroaesthetics, attempts to explain what appeals human brain across cultures. Why simplicity has lasting effects?, is one of the question addressed here.Article goes like.."THE SMILE of Mona Lisa, the portrait by Leonardo da Vinci, seems to have been decoded. A Dutch emotion-recognition programme has determined that her smile is 83 per cent happy, 9 per cent disgusted,

I wake up, hoping a promising day,with the emptiness lurking behind.I pursue mundane tasks, to fill the void,wearing the mask of false excitement.I follow the crowd, to frighten the loneliness,only to land up in greater solitude.I wish, to be free from the clutches of,the ever haunting surreal world.I search, in the woods, in the dark,in the dreams, all around, for that elixir.I realize, at the

Along with Deepavali/Ramzan/Rajyotsava holidays + weekends, I had taken off 7 more days, that made a total of whooping 17 days!!. The plan was to participate in distribution survey training and the survey itself for two weeks in Dandeli by CWS (Centre for Wildlife Studies). Unfortunately it got cancelled in the last minute. With the onset of festive season, almost the entire team was on vacation.

It sounds absolutely bizarre, absurd and freaking!! like the chaotic theory ("when the butterfly flaps its wings in one continent and eventually causes an hurricane in another"), when the author says the main reason for the drastic fall in the crime rate in US in 1990's is an abortion case filed two decades earlier and not the stricter gun control laws, increased police force, roaring economy,

In our busy world, we can not even imagine in our dreams a 100% natural quiet place. We have been so tuned that our sleep will be incomplete if we don't hear those late night cab's honking, the hoarse sound of autos, airplane traffic, gabbing of the neighbors, early morning calls of milkman/vegetable vendors and so on... It is hard to find even one square inch of land which is completely free

While amidst Don movie got a call from Sandeep to join the birding outing the next day..He had asked me couple of times before but somehow it hadn't happened. This time there were no reasons not to join him, so had no choice but to wake up at 6!!! and joined four other guys in next twenty minutes on kanakapura road.

One of the eminent figures of this century, a philosopher, novelist, poet, composer, educationist has played the key roles in the religious, literary and national movements. Reading a short collections of his translated poems I could experience the inspiration which fills the very life force. You get to peek into his thoughts, instincts, attitude, feelings and will for actions. Also you learn how

This refers to an article published in Hindu. Today it's an irony to call our land the temple of sandalwood(remember Annavara "naaviruva taanave gandhada gudi"). It is shocking to know 30 years back karnataka used to produce 3,000 tonnes of sandalwood annually has reduced to mere 50 tonnes now!!!!..This has come in light with KSDL and KSHDC facing scarcity of raw materials to operate. It was
