Wordless Wednesday

Hey all,

Monsoon has hit Bengaluru and the weather is just awesome nowadays. It rains every evening and sometimes in the day too. There have been days when, we didn't even get to see the sun as the dark clouds covered the sky of Bengaluru. 

Rain is the primary and i believe,probably, the only thing i love about Bengaluru. Being a Delhi-wala, who doesn't get much of rains even in monsoon season, i have always been fond of rains. I used to out of the house and enjoy the rain. I still love to get drenched, though now, i'm surrounded by people who don't like it. Here, none of my friends like to go out in rain. They try not to get wet. I guess that's because here, it rains quite often. But, i still feel the same what a frog would feel in rain.

Well, i can never have enough of rain *Crossed Fingers*.

Road Outside My Place

My Landload's Grandson. He's not allowed to out in rain  :)

Once again, thank you all for being here.

Season's First Rain

y All,

Yea, it rained today. It was the season's first rain. I was sitting in office, on my chair with my headphones on and listening to this very loud music. Then suddenly a coldish kind of breeze came in from the window.......though the chill in the air was enough to tell that it was raining........but the pleasant scent when the soil mixes while it rains confirmed that it was raining.

I went out and saw it was raining cats and dogs. I was not expecting it. Yea, i heard that in some parts of Southern India it started raining a couple of days back. But a reaction of that in Bengaluru.......so soon.....wasn't expected. Nonetheless, as you people know or may not know......i love rains. Getting drenched in the rain is always what you'll see me doing, let me add, everytime.

But unfortunately, i couldn't leave office and by the time i left...........rain stopped. So, i started walking to the bus stop and smelling that sweet scent of soil. Though, it was not as good as it would have been in my native, which is Uttrakhand. There is lot of greenery, hills, lots of fertile land and a river at the foot hold of the hill. The smell of a freshly cultivated land fertile land......is so heavenly.....i miss it a lot.

So, i took the bus back to home. I love feeling the wind in my hair.....so i opened the window......because of which the old man sitting beside me gave me a frowned look......but i ignored.....saying to myself.....will close it if he says that.

Don't you love to just hang your head out and feel the air???? I love it. But thought, i'm not a kid now and i should behave. But i did it...........aaahhhh.........it was just awesome feeling. You people should try that.

I tried taking pics of me.....but the Driver started shouting......so i left it.

So, this is it for today..........Hope to see you around. And yea, if i'm not reading you these days doesn't mean you are bad......it's just i'm a bit busy at office.

Indi(a)Blogger Sunday Meet

Hey All,

First i apologize for a late post. You can't blame me for it. By now you must know that i'm awesomely lazy. Leave that behind, today's post is about the INDIBLOGGER's blogger meet last sunday.

IndiBlogger 

Indiblogger is the bloggers community for all Indian Bloggers. Most of the Indian bloggers are part of this huge community. That was the reason why i joined this community some 3-4 months back. I was recognized soon there as the i got as IndiRank of 75 out of 100. The higher you are, the better you are doing.

Here's the Story

This blogger meet was proposed by one of our fellow blogger named Akhil, how it was sad that at the day he was not able to make it to the meet. But till the date, 10/01/10 ...... there were 34 registration cause there are lot of blogger in the IT City of India, Bengaluru.

First the meet was supposed to be at a Cafe Coffee Day center but cause of the response, it was shifted to POTLUCK Veg Rest. which is owned by one of the fellow Blogger B.K. Birla(also owns asklaila.com, a local search engine). So this was about the venue and talking about the participants, i can proudly say that there were all big shots of blogging. Starting from people who know all about recent technologies to people who were the SEO Guru's to people owning Internet Marketing Companies to people who left their job in MNC and now blogging. 

The meet started with everybody coming up and telling about how they got into blogging? what are they doing now? and all different experiences they had while blogging. We called it the Few Minutes of Fame. I liked this part of the meet especially cause till now i knew how i got inspired and started blogging, but now i know how these big shots started blogging and how they made to what they are now?. Can't really describe it in words what experience i gained from the Few Minutes of Fame which being a blogger i should know but as all of you know, i'm not that good at this either.

Guilt

Though, it was a gaining experience where everybody learned something but still there was this discomfort for me being alone. Why i was alone? Well during the Few Minutes of Fame, i got to know that i was only blogger (because i can't recall if anybody else said it) who was blogging for money. Other that me, everybody else was doing it for pleasure or as a hobby. This was the only part where i was trying to hide behind someone but couldn't cause i was sitting right in the middle of group. Then, there was the part when everybody was discussing about Google Page Rank and all the SEO guru's were putting in their best so that people like me can understand and use the info someday but it all bounced over my head.

At the end, i want to thank all the people for being there and having me. B.K. Birla for hosting and sponsoring the meet. Sorry to all the people i met in the meet cause i don't remember the names of all. Yea, i'm bad at remembering names.

Everybody Listening Seriously (hope you can find me cause this is the only pic with me there)

No, I found one more of me.

 

Note:- Above pic is insanely funny. The First word says Kolakata(supposed to be Kolkata). Funny cause KOLA means Banana and Kata means cut. So if your mind is as filthy or dirty as mine, you must have got the funny part of it.

Garden city of India -- Bengaluru

Its not been much time in this city, yea Garden city of India -- Bengaluru. Just three months...... and the time here have been fantastic till now. Bengaluru is one of those places of India were you will diversity in almost everything - food, people, culture, community, religion, landscape and i can't put everything cause can't remember everything rite now.

Being so special city of India, it hasn't lost it charm. Bengaluru have always been known for the Gardens, have retained charisma. Bengaluru is the IT hub of India and can easily boast of as the most oppertunity providing city to the technical gurus. People are not only coming from different parts of the country but also from other country.






But today its about what hasn't been changed since last few decades. The gardens, don't if its the administration or the people who have done some really great work. Cheers to all the people who are and have been responsible for this effort. Some of the pictures ahead.

Out Of Idea's

Hey readers,

Today is really a blank day for me till now. Since last few days, i have been covered till neck cause of the work and also there have been some changes regarding the personal life and my home. These all things has engulfed me till now. But somehow i got time today......to write again for me and you but today is such a blank day.....that nothing came into my mind.

There are a lot of things i can write about.......but god knows why i don't want share those things.....i have always been like this. I only like to share happiness thats why i don't write about the other things.

Just a few things......to mention. My city.....yea i call it my city now....although i'm pretty new to it, just 3 months.....but i want to call it my city. Ok, My City is been terrified with SWINE FLU. One lady died of swine flu yesterday. This is the first case in Bengaluru. But everybody is so terrified that no one is leaving home without a sergical mask. When i went to the bus stop today.......i saw everybody wearing the MASK and yes, i was the only one .... not wearing it. It felt as i was standing in a operation thearter.




People sitting beside me in my cubicle are wearing masks......... what should i do? is wat i was asking to everyone i know cause this is a new city to me.

This swine flu is creating a hovac here. I'm still confused, is it that serious? Whole India is under the cover of Swine flu they say. No one is safe. Till date......18 people have died cause of the same. Schools, colleges, mall and many other public places are closed for a week. The worst affected city is pune. Pune registered the first swine flu death in India.

I, praying for no more deaths and peace for my people. Hope this doesn't go ahead and swine flu ends in the world.

God save my people.
