Same old news!
Be it be politics, pollution, crime rate, power shortage….over a period of time all of us have got immune to receiving this sort of news. So much so, when we pick up our morning newspaper we are kind of aware what we will get to read.
Newest addition to the list is ‘the bomb’.
Ever since Bangalore banged followed with blasts in the Modi land and lucky faulty chips episode at Surat (thankfully 20 bombs got diffused before any damage happened), the bombs have become the ‘in-thing.’

Stage race – season 95
Till year 2007…..Cycling me?? No, thanks….2008…Cycling why not??
Thanks to hubs (hubby) who introduced me to Tour de France this season. Well, I am not here to blog about this year’s race and the beauty of the strategies made by each team (will take time to be an authority on that!); just that I enjoyed the game.
My favorite cyclist was…….hmmmm?? Well, not there yet, to judge, but yes I definitely regretted not watching Lance Armstrong in action, a couple of years ago. For there wasn’t a single day in the 21 days of the competition, when hubs didn’t mention Armstrong. His wins, discovery team, their strategy etc etc etc.

Power “less”
40 hrs per week, 2 hrs per day and ½ hrs per day….these are the details of scheduled power cuts in states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Kerala respectively. On other hand, Bangalore is facing an acute shortage of diesel. The spin to the story is that majority of the electricity in Karnataka gets generated by hydro power. The absence of sufficient rainfall is causing shortage in power at source which in turn results in unscheduled / scheduled power cuts which prompts people to use generators, which needs diesel to run. Tada!!!

Miss Kerala 2008 – Malayalee Beauty
Recently, I got invited to Miss Kerala 2008 beauty pageant that is organized by Impresario Event Management India annually.
The event was held at Le Meridien, Kochi and unlike the past trends, where the participation was limited to Kerala, this year the competition was thrown open to malayali girls across the world. And the organizers wouldn’t have been disappointed with the roaring response they received. There were finalists from Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi.

Eat, sleep, shop and talk cricket
With husband pampering in mind and 1st salary in our pockets my friend and myself decided to check out the talk of the town ‘the bat and the ball inn’. Yes it’s the same place which was inaugurated by Sreesanth, Robin Uthappa and Charu Sharma recently in Kochi. Warm and welcoming, this place consists of a 5 rooms (tastefully done), souvenir shop (good collection), boutique (beautiful and economical towels, cushions and covers but frightfully expensive dresses), silly point café (which was yet to get functional) and Cornucopia restaurant (which is where we had our sumptuous dinner).

Me, Myself and the Autowalas
Come what may, my equation with most of the auto drivers just doesn’t seem to get better ever. I changed my base from Delhi to Bangalore and then to Kochi (not because of the autowalas…plz give me a break!), but no change whatsoever in my experiences with them. Is it me, I wonder! Why is it that they would always want to charge extra bucks from me and if I dare refuse, I get those looks of – ‘go and get rich by $$ bucks!’ If not the money then it has to be the route I suggest him to take or the reason I didn’t wave my hand well enough for him to notice and stop his auto or because I am not carrying change or if none of these reasons seems apt, then I am sure with my reputation with the autowalas, they will come up with some or the other reason to hassle me.

All for a cause
In today’s times of fast cars, you might write me off as bizarre if I tell you to cycle across the globe. Well, that’s exactly what my friend here is doing. The seemingly quiet and shy Amiram is on a 1 year cycling tour across 12 countries in Africa as an awareness campaign on Global warming, climatic changes etc and inform about the available solutions to combat the same.
Amiram and his team are open to other enthusiasts joining them in this endeavor. All that is needed is that they must share the same passion for saving the environment. Check out their website for more details.
