Uttarkhand Restaurant

When TC suggested this place, we were all offbeat about it. But what the heck, all we were doing was to try new places for lunch on the last working day of the week. So 5 of us headed to this place. We just had 1 hr to return back to work as we had a meeting. In spite of this small time line we wanted to go ahead and zoomed on to this place - Uttarkhand Restaurant

No.139, Near Railway Station, S C Road,swasthik Circle, Seshadripuram, Bangalore – 560020

Ok, the address would be very confusing, but its on the main road and you are not going to miss  that. Its a new hotel and looks very good. While we entered the hotel, we were shocked to see that we were the only ones in that hotel. All the hotel staff came to us and greeted us which was nice. We then had little time to look around  the ambience. So we dived straight to the menu and found the pricing to be pretty good. Well’ll since time was the factor we just ordered – Executive Lunches.

In Uttarkhand, Executive lunch comes in as Veg Executive lunch for 99 Rs and NV Executive lunch for 120. The taste was pretty good. You get some salad, bowl of dal, mixed curry, paneer/chicken curry, roti/kulcha, raitha, pulav and a sweet.If you are ordering the meal, don;t order anything else. We ordered a soup and additional roti and had to stuff our selves to complete that.

All in all, its a good place with great tasty food and good value for money.

RCB wins

At last a victory for RCB. For a moment I thought we would loose the match. The match went down to the wire. I could not catch the live action but was glued to the score on IPL official web site. Well’ it took a 19 yr old to show the Bevdas how to win matches. And to think that this would be the last match Peter ka beta would play , then he has done great – win  the first and last match of his captaincy.

Actually to tell the truth, more that watching IPL , everyone is enjoying reading the blog created by the Fake IPL player. Read  from beginning and its so much fun

Akshaya thrithiya

Even though this day has the reputation of being the best day in the year. Some how its not been upto the mark for few of us. Pachha was all set to marry today, but an unfortunate incident put it off. Looks like the girl called off the marriage. Pachha was visibly upset, not because the marriage was called off, but because of the ignorance of the girl who did not care  to open her mouth even after asking her ton;s of time if she had any problem with the relation. Given the fact that they both were engaged for 5 months now. We are damn sure that the girl must have had a good back up from some one else to easy it would be to call off a marriage in the marriage hall when people are swarming in for the ceremonies. The girl had played her cards at the last moment. This is what hurts all. Even if she had the guts to call of some time back, ateast the effort , the money and other things would have been saved. And by the by , Pachha  had 75 % of his money vested in there. Though the gal gave unconvincing reasons like her parent were financially dependent on her and she would not want to marry for another couple of years, the truth is she was in love with someone else and wanted to be with him

Well, we all believe in – what ever happens , happens for the good and have no qualms for that.

Pachha don;t worry my friend there are lots of fish in the sea and i am sure  there is some one better waiting for you…

Sakath Takath - RCB

Yeah, i am a big fan of RCB. But the problem is they never win. After seeing yesterday’s match , i am very convinced that the RCB will come last place this year. Some how the last season they had Deccan Chargers for company, But this time around every one has pulled their socks except RCB. I think the two big blunders of RCB – Robin & Kevin. While Robin has no reputation on playing on pitches outside india, Kevin is here to take away the money. He had nothing to loose. He would only play a few matches and still pocket all the money. Look what Flintoff has done for Chennai.. faked a knee injury and is on his way back to UK.

Mr. Mallya, when are you going to learn? Leave the foreign brigade and play our local boys – no matter how old they are:-)  Just for a match play only the local boys with no foreign players and see the Sakath Takath of karnataka kids!!!!

and yes, winning tournaments by sponsoring teams from the money of broken families due to alcoholism is not going to happen ;-) Just give a thought – how many would have cursed you..

Are you Cool?

I get to listen to this almost everyday , from some one or other. "Cool".. In meetings, in client call's, during discussions or casual talks. I guess this word has lost its charm now for being very repetitive. So for me "Cool” now is a form of stupidity in your mind. So stop being "cool"

Hippie era

I wanna go back to the hippie era man , this time period is so not for me....
hahahahah, this is how i felt when i was watching a Tamil song on TV. I Just could not restrain myself from dancing :-) Have you ever felt like that?

Captcha!!!

I hate captcha's . It's just that i hardly remember a time when i got it right first time. And guess what, I just got a captcha that literally said - sex o maniac ...... :-)

All i want to do is....

I need to make a plan, gotta do what’s right. Can’t run around in circles if I wanna build a life. But I don’t wanna make a plan for a day far away.I guess, While I’m young and while I’m able, all I wanna do is…

Good God

I want to leave.
I want to become someone else.
I want to not remember what has happened until now.

Why can’t I do it?

Friends for life

It was quite some time now, emails, sms and calls got converted to a meet. Bala came in from Chennai as he had some items to close in bangalore and Fazal as he claimed - was jobless for the weekend so we decided to meet. I just had to reshuffle few of my stuff to incorporate this meet. But it was worth every penny. We first met @ coffee day, but there was too much to catch up with each other, so we walked into a Arabic restaurant. I had mentioned to Fazal about this many times and looks like he could not figure it out. So we all walked into it. Had a very good meal while catching up on stories as old as 2 years. Good reunion. Felt good.

Mysore palace

I am always fascinated by this place. Simply because of its magnificent size and the grand artifacts the kings used. I go to this palace when ever i get a chance.

I guess this will tell more  -   Mysore Palace

Here are pics from my cam

Regrettable outing

My Dad's brother in law made a trip to India and because my dad can't drive long, he asked me to be their chauffeur during their stay. I reluctantly agreed as he would be here only for a few days and also he would be our guest.

For the weekend we decided on a trip to Mysore. The itinerary was  - Bangalore --> Kokre Bellur ( Birds sanctuary) --> Sri Rangapatinam (Gosya Ghatta, Dariya Daulat , Gumbaz & Sangama) --> Ranganathitu(Another Bird's sanctuary)--> Mysore( Palace, Brindavan Garden)

Well for a start it looked pretty decent, but things got worse when dad started to treat me like a real chauffeur :-(. While on the mysore road, our AC in the car stopped functioning and we all had to sweat in the heat. En route we  stopped by Mac Donald's to have a quick grab. As we were driving, we overshot the first location ( kokre bellur) and was on the way to Mandya. I quickly realized that we had overshot. I pulled over to the side to make an enquiry as to where exactly Kokre Bellur was. This is where the unfortunate incident happened. My car was stationed for more than 3 ~ 4 min and it was a straight stretch of road with no curves. It was bright and sunny and there is no way anyone can miss the car. It was then, two guys came speeding on a bike and rammed straight into my car. For a minute i thought the bike driver was off, he laid unconscious for a few minutes, till i poured some water on him. Then started the ordeal as to who was right and wrong. Even thought it was the bike driver's fault, the mob mentality is to always support the lower vehicle :-( in this case it was the bike. Long heated discusions led to many things and in the end i ended up paying 1 K on "humanitarian grounds" as hospital expenses. I am sure that guy would have broken a couple of tooth and some bruises on his leg. But that was the only way out.

Glad it ended that way, and was fortunate that it was only a bike and not any other car or truck. But at the end of the day, my car was badly damaged and there was not a scratch on  the bike. In case you are curious which bike it was - yes, our very own "Hero Honda Splendor".

Here is a pic of my car when it was hit
