‘Louee’ is in the air! Posted on February 11, 2008February 11, 2008 A reader, Smitha, in my last post reminds me that I’m not posting frequently and I think I owe my visitors loads of apologies for that! It’s been an incredibly exciting and busy January / February with some interesting projects on the horizon so it’s been taking up a lot of my time and focus. But as she points out, I need to get back to more frequent blogging, and I’m definitely going to try now. In the bad news, they’ve taken away access to pretty much everything useful including email and flickr during work hours. I guess we need to prepare ourselves for no Internet soon and the paranoia (especially in a large company) is understandable. Since mail a service that is taken for granted these days, you realise it’s absence only when it’s taken away. As a company, it’s justified to do it because of all the problems – bandwidth issues, people spending too much time, security etc. And it’s a service they provide us for free, so I guess they have an equal right to take it away too. But it’s just so very inconvenient and annoying when you need actually wait till you get home after the whole day just to go and check your mail. Anyway, I guess we just learn to live without now and the only option is to get home and catch up on mail. On another note, as Valentine’s Day is approaching but here’s something I put together for rediff.com. And besides, it’s always a good excuse to take another trip in case you’re looking for one! Top spots for romance Enjoy!

A rainy night and a driving nightmare! Posted on July 12, 2004 I got to see the ‘not-so-glamourous’ side of Bangalore yesterday. The rains came lashing down creating havoc on the streets. And I happened to be in the middle of it all. To make matters worse, I chose yesterday to put my driving skills to test. I had not ventured anywhere… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
An expansive (and expensive) but satisfying brunch Posted on August 23, 2006August 23, 2006 Sunday afternoon. They call it a brunch but things start cooking up only after 1 pm. The place gets mighty crowded and a large population of Bangalore’s expat crowd converges here so be prepared to feel like you’re in another country or something. Other than that, I couldn’t find much… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
