Metbloggers meet @ Infinitea

We met on Saturday afternoon at Infinitea. There was Usha, Prabhu, Ravi and Thejesh (an ex-author and reader now :). Rajesh who blogs here, dropped in and hopefully will be a part of the team soon. He’s also written a really nice post here about the meeting and about Infinitea so you can follow this link. Divs put in a special guest appearance before rushing off to another appointment. We do hope we’ll have more people the next time around. It’s always a pleasure meeting with such interesting people and from such varied backgrounds. It’s one of the main factors that keeps me motivated to be a part of forums like Bangalore Metblogs. It’s voluntary and free, but I think what you gain as experience cannot be measured and is worth much more in the long run. And on that note, I’d like to add that we want to increase our team strength at Metblogs. If you’re interested, check out this page (you need to be a Bangalore resident, of course). You can’t use this …

Another new brunch in town

Brunches can prove to be rather harmful to your pockets. But just hanging out at a nice place, enjoying the breezy and cool Bangalore weather in the company of family and friends over a long, leisurely lunch is not an altogether unpleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon either. I would recommend it once in a while! This Sunday, I got an opportunity to try out the brunch at Lido, the 24 hour coffee place and restaurant, at Ista. For those of you who might not know this place, it’s the hotel built in the same place where the old Lido theatre was located. It’s relatively new so a lot of people haven’t heard of it as yet. Here’s the review of Ista and Lido and a whole lot of pictures!

House hunting woes in Bangalore

So I’ve been looking for a place to buy. My mom thinks I should get “settled”. I think it’s a scary word and I have never quite understood why parents make it the purpose of their lives. If children are happy and content living their lives the way they want, why put so much pressure to conform to what they (the parents) think is the right way to live their lives? Settling down in mom’s dictionary would mean having most (preferably all and more!) of the following – house, car, safe, secure job, money in bank, husband/wife, kids (not necessarily in the same order). While I don’t necessarily agree to this definition of being “settled in life” who’s going to do the explaining to my mom? Not me. I do want to live for a few more years 🙂
