One of the best ads

There are ads, and then there are ads that are really a class apart...

And this is one ad which lives up to its promise. 

The first depressing moment of 2012

Life has its ups and has its downs...
Shouting out my first (major) down of the year ...

A Friend thinking I am judging them ...

• after all the crap you have told me about your self over the years (while being sober or not)

you think I am judging you and want to prove your point regarding this, the best joke that can ever be

Anger Expressed.... time to move on with life

PS: I am actually feeling Jealous that I'm missing ut on the fun (LoL)

A Commitment called Ransom . . .

Got a SMS from 3 of my friends simultaneously, with a small TO-DO list for me to complete before any of them will have any communication with me.

I know you guys care a lot about me, but you just don't know where i am.

All you just did is take away the last remaining people i had away from me.

Autographs . . .

Saying "goodbye" is something which i never did

I'm not talking about the Everyday Bye,  But the ones said on 

• On the last day of school
• On the last day of college

I am in contact with a few special Long Time Pals . . . . , even got back to a few

I just never wanted to let go of my people,

I was freeing up some space (read throwing out some junk)  to move around in my room, while i did a little bit of study . . .

Came across

A collection of Autographs from the 70's  . belonging to my mom

It had me in tears  :-)

Chalo,

Need to get back to my books and meanwhile give mom's memories back to her .

Edited to add  :

I Choose to keep my friends with me . . .

I will make snapshots, and even collect some snapshots with/from people I meet along the road of my life.  (snapshots = Autographs or Anything which brings back memories)

For those who did not know :

I almost never took Autographs ...

I remember buying a Autograph book, but do not remember using it

I Let go of my Possessiveness 

With Friends Like these, Who Needs Enemies ! ! !

me : Hello . . .
KitKat : Hello Maccha . . . . . .

me : Belli wasn't gettin any sleep in d BUS and so he called me @ 1.30 AM, . . . .
KitKat : i'd have done d same thing Ra . . .

Holi Long Long AGO ! ! !

Holi in College ! ! ! ! !
Was Rather Boring as We had to Be in Class :((
Fun coz our Lecturers were not there to Take Class ! ! ! :-D
So There we were Smeared in Colours,
Pulling in our friends who were running away from the CoLoUrS
A Truce Later, We decided for a Snap in ALL OUR Colours

So There we Stand In All Possible Shades
IN Walks our Placement Officer through one of the Doors
& d Administrative Officer through the OTHER

HOLI RE!!!

We Got our Leave, to Celebrate Holi !!!
Who cared if was called "Suspended for a DAY"

Malgudi Days . . .

I had been too caught up all the lovely things a Great City like Bengalooru had to offer . . . Complete with Tensions, Traffic, crappy schedules, what not . . . . . .

Decided to get out of the "City" and even after an hour after of pulling in the BOYS and on the road i was like "Where do we go . . . I have been driving!!! I'm Hungryy , Waaahhh!!!! "

We landed @ the Village
US: We'll Have a Chicken......
d guy with d PDA: Sir No NON-Veg, Empty Sir :-( , . . . only Veg Items
US: Let's check with d veggi guys outside . . .
(we starting to walk out)
d guy with d PDA: 1 sec sir, Let me check with the Kitchen
Belli: For what, LEFTOVERS
d guy with d PDA: YES Sir, 1 Sec !!!

Ba Byeeeeeee ! ! ! ! ! ! !

So off we went in search of another restaurant...
Hey He said this is GOOD, & this Guy said This Place is nice . .
Oh!! btw were is This & That Place . . .

Finally landing @ some place. . .
Finding it Horribly Expensive,
Somehow deciding to eat there, without liking the pricey menu . . . .

Having
Chicken Soup - (Chicken boiled in Rasam, LoL)
Besi Bele bath - (with traces of Salt)
(we had edible food, but btw just mentioned d 2 Nice ones)

having looked @ pple trying to eat Raggi Mudde with a Fork
rotfl

We finally paid the bill,
stepped out of the Wonderful restaurant,
Changed the board to read "Sorry we are CLOSED".

And Got the Cheap thrill to see Families Surprised to see their Favourite Restaurant Malgudi Days "CLOSED" and walk to the next ONE!!!!!

BiRd Watching @ Lalbag Part - 2

BUSTED ! ! !The Great Photography team caught in the act . . .


The beautiful flowers, fresh air, scenery, people, laughter, fun, exercise and of course the “BiRdS” of Lalbag were so compelling that Venkat’s Camera set out on a new quest
“BiRd Watching @ Lalbag Part - 2”
this time with a couple of new people who were impressed big time with our first edition.


This is What happened when we set out with KitKat's
Sony Cybershot H5 Camera.
Having 7.2 Mega Pixels Sensor, 12x Optical ZooM, etc etc etc.
Made it to Lalbag at around 6.30 in the Morning.


We were caught in the act
NOT Just Once ....... but

& wondering who is this weird GiRL donning this huge SmiLe on her face

Why we we have put up a Pic of being a caught in the act

NO!! NO!!! NO!!!! She is not happy that she got a good snap of the “BiRd Watchers”
And made us post the pics of all our MisDeeds

Thanks to
Venkat (for d camera), Sumanth (for all d Lessons),
Seema (for Demanding a Part-2), Sukla (Me obviously for making it happen)

The pictures in this particular post, is a collection of a couple of visits to Lalbag. I/We were disappointed with the flower show inside the Glass House.
Due to the missing Screens the flowers dried up and looked lifeless this time, also what we missed were the rains, which kept the flowers full of life.

Big Cheers to the Horticulture Department,WE enjoyed and everyone who saw our pictures loved them.
There are several instances where people just could not believe our Lalbag in Namma Bengalooru is so beautiful.
A big thanks to every one @ Lalbag. You Have done an Amazing job this time :-)


Just have a look at these collections also.
