I picked up the book:
"I too had a love story" by Ravinder Singh. I am not fond of reading the love stories but was recommended by many avid readers. Having borrowed the book from a friend, finished reading this book at the earliest. :)
As many of us find jobs through networking sites like naukri.com and freshersworld.com, few of us do online transactions, making friends online through chatting, blogging or orkut, then why not find a life partner through matrimonial sites? The story kicks off with Ravinder registering for a mtrimonial site and his endless "show interests" on the gals profile he likes. One fine day, Khushi rings up and both chat for more than an hour. They share common interests and soon become close to each other in a short time though they haven't not seen each other. Two bodies and a single soul. Love has made them inseparable.
The author has written beautifully the emotions, respect for each other, the sense of caring and how they would long to see each other, how small things become so important, the silliest information they share... The last few pages brought tears and I couldn't stop myself from crying. A must read book.
I would rate : 4.5/5

Amazing effects. Shown that the life would end either by earth quakes or Tsunami waves and only spaceship could few human beings. :| I am wondering, how couldn't they find any other reasons for the end of life like comet hitting the Earth at a single sweep. :P
Watch this movie on a big screen and feel the shiver with chill pepsi in your hand. ;)

Chocolates, cakes, cookies and toffees become an integral part of snacks as kids though we hate eating lunch or dinner on time. Once we see the neighboring kid sticking out his tongue on an ice cream, "I want the same ice cream", we cry. More than a decade ago, Cofitos, a toffee which gave away the "Click Cards" on purchasing a pack of 10 cofitos. A classmate of mine bought it and started playing with the click card with others placing thumb on the tiny magnetic hearts on the card. The tiny heart changed the color for few seconds and we would turn the card to check what the color match meant. Soon, the whole class bought the cofitos just for the sake of click card and playing around. :D

Thanks to all those who were able to make it to the
Frames of Mind Photo exhibition organised by BPC. This was the first time I got few of the frames printed and even more excited to see a frame on the walls of Chitra Kala Parishat. :) I got an opportunity to meet many people behind the camera and flickr, too...
For those who couldn't make it, here's the photo which was selected.
An old lady was begging at the staircase of a temple on hilltop near Banngerghatta National Park. My attention was caught by her and I still feel her expression has a story to tell. This pic was captured more than an year ago. Not sure where is she now. I am thankful to her for posing which in turn made to the exhibition.Below: Vistors at CKP
My Frame :D
Well, I maintained suspense of not disclosing the foto selected until the exhibition was concluded, or else no one would've walked till CKP. ;)

October and November were great seasons for celebration. Be it festival or wedding or a house warming ceremony. Two of my close friends (guys) got married whom I have known for decade. Choosing gifts especially if your friend is a guy is a difficult task. I had to ask many of my other friends what to gift a guy during a wedding.
Me: hey... 2 of my close friends (both guys) are marrying next week. What do I gift them?
He: Is it legal?
Me: What? *Confused*
Argh... I meant 2 guys are marrying 2 different gals... not each other.
He: :)
I realized how wrong I was while communicating to them. The two guys were marrying gals. Next time you hear two guys are marrying, don't think that they're marrying each other. :P

After Sony and Amazon launched ebook reader or rather say "eReader": a replacement for paper books;
CoolReader also launched eReader.
The availability in various colors imitates
iPod Nano.
Though, all the three eReaders have quoted the same price. $ 250 is quite much for coolreader.

Many years ago, I met a gal on the train. Due to our amicable nature, both of us were soon involved in casual conversation like studies, where we stayed and the current trends, so on and so forth... After hours of conversation, she opened a pack containing 8 cards (not the gambling cards ;)) which were filled with random numbers on one side in the square boxes on each card; which I had never seen before. These were called Mosaic cards where one person asks the other to choose a number ranging from 1-99 without revealing the number. Later on, each of the six card is shown if the chosen number is present or not. Based on the numbers present in no of cards, the exact number is computed. And this seemed to be fascinating and made me curious to learn how it was done.
I reached my destination before her. It was time for me to bid a good bye to my new found friend. As a memory, she gave me these cards along with a note signed, which I still preserve. :)
