Not too many words. Just a few pic­tures.
And a warm wel­come to Ma Chérie, the lat­est addi­tion to my fam­ily. Kit Kit is a lit­tle jeal­ous of all the atten­tion my pos­ses­sion is get­ting right now but I’ve promised her a ride soon!
Took Chérie out for a long drive towards Heb­bal lake on her first […]

To my brand new pho­to­blog — The World Through My Viewfinder. Where I will post pic­tures, paint­ings and any visual work that might or might not be my cre­ation, from time to time. Start­ing off with an acrylic paint­ing I did some­time ago. And some pic­tures taken on Prabu’s cam­era phone dur­ing lunch time, in […]

And folks, I am not kid­ding. The answer is: The Forum. Bangalore’s lat­est hap­pen­ing mall in Kora­man­gala. Now of course, when we set out for this place, we didn’t have clue.
We first got an inkling of the upcom­ing prob­lem when did not find park­ing in the base­ment, first floor, sec­ond floor, third floor, fourth floor…. […]

On Gau­tam Ghosh’s sug­ges­tion, decided to try out a Bong food joint called Victoria’s Cor­ner on Sat­ur­day evening.
Along with a few friends who were game enough to join me on a culi­nary adven­ture in West Ben­gal cui­sine, we reached the place at about 10.30 pm. It was obvi­ously the wrong time, since they were […]

I was really relieved, when after my dis­as­trous start get­ting onto a horse, this time around I actu­ally man­aged to mount at the first go. Unfor­tu­nately though for me, Trilka (incor­rectly called Trilla in my last horse related post) hadn’t had break­fast. So while trot­ting, she would sud­denly look down greed­ily at the grass and […]

Since I’m plan­ning to take pho­tog­ra­phy a lit­tle more seri­ously, I signed up with the Ban­ga­lore Shut­ter­bugs (group of pho­tog­ra­phy enthu­si­asts) and attended my first meet­ing this Sun­day.
Went along with Arun and met lot of enthu­si­as­tic bud­ding pho­tog­ra­phers includ­ing Shankar, Lavan­nya and Renith amongst oth­ers.
Prabu (aka floatingcreeper.org and a for­mer blog­ger) also joined in, […]

One advan­tage of being in Ban­ga­lore, I’ve quickly dis­cov­ered is the plethora of things to do. Besides get­ting back into my old loves — bad­minton and swim­ming — I decided to get into another activ­ity, horse rid­ing.
So bright and early on Sat­ur­day morn­ing, landed up at the Race Course and enrolled at the Ban­ga­lore Amateur […]
