This free sample tea bottle was handed over to me at the traffic signal yesterday morning. See what it reads. energy 0 Kcal , protein 0 g , Fat 0 g, Carbohydrate 0 g, Sodium 0 mg, non sugar, non flavor, non coloring. Hehe. Then why should I choose it over plain water ?

Working at Japanese offices for an outsider is not easy. An outsider is always assisted by an interpreter. ( a mediator, who is conversant in both Japanese and English). There was no interpreter helping me yesterday evening. This Japanese guy was trying to ask me this question. ” Can you tell me the current temperature [...]

We are supposed to wear these sandals at work here. This is what happened. You have to leave your personal footwear in a box and pick these ones at the office entrance. I did so, this morning. When I came back during lunch hour, I found this note on the box. I open the box [...]

I have a 3G CDMA phone here. It’s easy to click the pics and upload it right away. Reduces this enormous pain of clicking from regular camera,copying it to PC, resizing and uploading. So you can follow my pics, as it happens over here.

I hate this. But helpless. I have not been posting anything besides complaining about being overworked. Even when I had something to share, I consciously stayed away. When you are not in that ‘zone of mind’, that’s the best thing to do. Some update here before another period of lull. Am off to Tokyo tonight [...]

It’s more than a year that I have put a big pause to my reading habits. For no specific reason, I just haven’t spared any time for quality reading. Probably, work and travel has done all the damage. The phase of this dip in my reading interests seems to be getting over. What could have [...]

I have become an airport blogger. This time from Bangalore Airport. Can’t help. I am on the run. It’s barely a week that I arrived here to Bengaluru, after a hectic month at Seoul. When I am still gasping and breathing, am asked to be available at Boston by Monday. Customer trial related activity. Looks [...]

The Trips are always nice, but not the aftermath rituals. Of downloading the pictures from camera, moving into appropriate folders, resizing them, uploading online and write a post later. Anyways, HongKong was the best of the holidays. A very brisk trip which touched the most important spots in just three days. Som ( my host [...]

Messaging from Seoul Incheon International Airport. Its for the first time am using internet from inside the airport. Much of the airports I have been do not provide free internet. This one is comfortable. They have a lounge with preinstalled laptops. Those who want to use their own laptops, can use wifi. I must admit [...]

If you are a trotter then wikitravel should be your first companion on the web. Almost one stop for all your travel needs. From History, Facts, Climate, transport to what to see and what not to miss, all told in a tourist friendly language. It’s too late for me to use it for Seoul. But [...]

I have not had anytime to look around in the city. Probably this visit was meant to be pure business. I did not have any time to upload these pictures and regather my thoughts as well. Just four more days to go before I say good bye to Seoul. 1] That’s me 2] Korean vegetable [...]

24 X 3 = 72 2 X 3 = 6 72 – 6 = 66 Wondering what math is this ? It’s crazy. I broke all my past records. Six hours of sleep in past three days. I still cant figure out how did I manage it. This was for demonstrating and Bench marking for [...]

What do you do if you find 15 bank cards and 15000Rs (33000 WONS) unattended. Party ? It all happened when I was taking the taxi to reach the hotel in Seoul. While I was taking out my luggage at the hotel, I found a fat wallet in the back seat of the taxi. I [...]

I have seen a bit of west, but never been to east. I would be visiting Seoul, South Korea for next three weeks, starting this Monday. Before you say wow, let me tell you it’s a zero-pleasure-trip. Language and food are the other concerns besides the fact that it is my first ever date with [...]

I never wore black formal shoes. Reason being, they are not comfy + You cannot walk fast or run. All due to their make. Inflexible leather and tight sole. Though they please the on-looker for the formal looks, the wearer is never at ease. Then comes Hushpuppies black with Bounce technology. Designed just for all [...]

This is quite common in most of North Karnataka. Their Display boards. They have english version and the same translated in Kannada. It’s funny, the way it sounds in Kannada. Kannadised names do not have sharp endings. Like Laydija tailorsa (for Ladies Tailors), jharaxa pyaxa ( Xerox, Fax). Took this pic in Bagalkot market.

I took a day break to visit my college in Bagalkot. A visit coming after nearly five years. Imagine an excitement equaling meeting up your old flame. College is painted with it’s new look and one could see buildings sprung up throughout the campus. Our E&C department is relocated to a totally new building. Vidyagiri [...]
