TT Tournament has reached it’s final stage. Here are the last four battling for the title in semis. My bet will be on right most top cornered guy, Girish. He defeated me last year. My chances are slim. Let’s see.
Update : I lost against Ravi and that brings my winning spree to the end and am out of the tournament. It’ll be Ravi and Girsh, both on right who have reached finals.
My favourite genre of the movie: Drama. And you don’t need a better eg than this : The Lives of Others (2006). A German movie with English subtitles. Winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign film.
I just created a banner for this blog. This one is a long pending one. I don’t quite have a graphical aesthetics. The rule was to keep it simple and something which goes with the overall page layout. In or out ?!
Table Tennis tournament is starting today at office. It’s part of our fast-approaching Annual day celebration. Past few days, all of us are warming up to this big tourney. Table Tennis is a big draw here. Table being the only source of recreation, there are plenty of decent players. I am participating in both singles and doubles category.
This is what I saw in Spam folder of my gmail inbox. Why was it sent to MEEE ??? Unknown sender. No Subject. Is it not easy to come up with an abstract name and generate a random subject line, like others have done in the top and bottom ?

Unlike previous years’ festival, I collected no pamphlets, promotional materials or subscription forms or even bagful of books. As it has been in since last few months, my first instinct was not to buy any books. This visit was just to check if this year’s edition is different in any ways from the past. I made it a point to spend as little time as possible browsing through popular sections of Management, Tech, Self help and novel sorts.

But I still couldn’t help myself to make one purchase. Just One. Of all the crores together books.
Two things which made my day.
- The book which I picked up. I tell you later. It deserves a separate post.
- Evening live concert of C Ashwath
It was raining when the program started and there were very few in the audience. But as Ashwath’s voice touched skies, audience gathered in good numbers.
Kannada Bhavageethe concerts are a treat to ears. Their lines being adapted from poetry collections and composed by gifted musicians makes a perfect blend. I don’t think I have ever attended any. It is sweeter, full of melody and lyrical. With no chairs left, standing for nearly hour and a half was still a breeze.
Two female singers and a male accomplice to Ashwath, rendered few of the finest songs.
Deepavu ninnade gaaliyu ninnade, Kurigalu saar kurigalu
Ondiralu Kanasinali, nee hinga noda beda nanna
naavu bharatiyaru , kodagan koli nungitta
I could not have come home without picking up the C Ashwath’s collection. Maadhurya.
It is always like this. You go to book festival but get entertained by music.
he he .. this is the best among the lot

This is my fiiiiiirst ever trip to Goa ! For no reason I never had any chance to visit here. This is also NeeliGang’s longest ever trip away from Bangalore.
I am posting this from a hotel near Calangute beach at Goa ! Beach in the evening followed by a dinner at St. Anthony’s restaurant near Baga beach was lovely.
Goa is youngy and carefree. And invites every one with open arms.
I guess one more day to go….Planning to visit some more beaches tomorrow. Will post some pictures here soon.
