Bullet Odyssey
The bullet started in 3 kicks yesterday, forgot to close choke then and so she got rich and then didn't start once we reached the petrol pump. But thankfully wasn't embarassing coz even the pump guys had to kick quite a bit before she started. And I was proud of the fact that I recognised the problem....

I Don't Belong...
Ever felt you don't belong... doesn't matter where, its just I don't belong...Had gone home yesterday to spent that night at Mom's place. Felt so distant, as if am in some strange place. It didn't feel like home. It should have, after all its my Mom's place, the house I grew up in, so many memories...

Kannada Gottu Nimmage...
This is an argument I have had for sometime now with quite a few people. It’s about the situation not in one state but quite a few in India. People for a long time have asked me why after spending 25 years in Karnataka (Bangalore to be precise) I have not learnt Kannada completely. Yes I agree I haven't....

Chains of responsibility
Life has some amazing twists. The chains of responsibility around the heart are so heavy... Somehow the hearts desires can't escape these. Its your resposibility to pay for this, its your responsibility to be there for them, its your responsibilty to suceed (after all so much was invested in this),...
Pay to Volunteer...
Have been looking up some organisations on the internet to do volunteer work with. Noticed something really funny. To do volunteer work you have to pay!!!Seems so inhumane (for want of a better word) to ask someone to volunteer to help and pay for it also :) Maybe its because of the foreigners who come...

Husband Required...
Ahhh... had one of my infamous adventures again last night. Just before going to sleep at 11:30 walked into the loo to find a cockroach sitting comfortably on the basin. Stared at it for a few seconds hoping looks could kill but then hit is more effective to went and brought it from the hall praying...

Musafir and Faakira...
Someone just asked me why Faakira... here's my explanation...When I named Musafir... it was about an idea, a way of life, a philosophy... It was about what I am passionate about... travel in the true sense... not about kilometers but about experience, about places and people... Faakira is on the same...

Jaws and muscles all stiff with tension.The feeling was awesome... the beat, the feel of power still...

Had been wanting to take sometime off for quite sometime, so finally took two days off just after Ganesh Chaturti and now having five days at hand decided to go to Yelagiri. Maybe should have gone somewhere further but then for a lot of reasons this was suitable. Made bookings there for four days at...

Me Gu Gu...
Was playing Bounce Out on the computer and listening to my Bro fight it out with his GF. Just got me thinking how easy it is to get upset or fight with the other. But then their true value is only known when apart. Then you realize how much you lost over something so trivial. They mean so much and when...

Cluelessly lost...
The simplest things in life are the most complex. Thoughts, feelings that are so easy to decipher, so easy to understand, sometimes become so difficult sometimes. They leave you feeling lost in an ocean with no ship in sight. It feels like your drowning in the waves of life. Nothing is in your control...

Unreserved love…
Love, it’s a magical word, it’s a wonderful feeling, it feels romantic and mushy, it feels euphoric… some of those many things said about love, but I have always wondered, what is love? How do you define it? Is there a definition at all? Will I ever find a definition? I haven’t found one yet but yeah...

The Fate of an Unconventional Woman...

Short it was but it helped me get an insight into some aspects of her life.What makes you unconventional?Nothing really. Am just like any other woman, I feel joy, hurt, love, pain...

To go or not to go...
Spent the last week deciding whether to go or not to go, was like that eternal question of - to be or not to be... Ok now to tell you where is was to go or not to go.

Just ranting...
Its funny (not sure if funny is the right word, but it'll do for want of a better word), how the smallest of things can bring back a rush of memories. How when you think the hurt is gone it'll all come back. Its like it all happened just yesterday and it hurts just so much.Had just sat down for a couple...

Just writing...
A friend messaged yesterday to say why no updates on your blog so thought would just add a few lines so that its not too much of a gap between two updates ;-)Life's been a roller coaster lately. Too many up and downs to even remember. Came back from my Coorg ride in Jan and the riding season was over...

SeaBiscuit
Last night while surfing through channels on TV I chanced upon SeaBiscuit. Its a movie about a horse. Though would watch for sometime and then go to sleep but landed up watching it right to the end. It brought back so many memories. The story was about SeaBiscuit a horse, and how he changed peoples...

To Papaji...
Those times we've spent togetherThose thoughts we've sharedThose days when your hand's touchmade me feel cared for.Those moments when your just being there beside meprotected me from all harm.Those times when you'd helped mestand up when I fellcleaned my bruised knees,Encouraged me to try againsaying...
You and I...
We've walked together for many a mile,Agreed they were not full of smiles,But you stood by me through it all,Picked me up after each fall.We've seen blue skies,And springs galore,Days full of laughter,And brimming with joy.Lets not forget those stormsCoz they brought us closer,We lived through it all,But...

An Interview With God...
I dreamed I had an interview with God.“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.“If you have the time” I said.God smiled. “My time is eternity.”“What questions do you have in mind for me?”“What surprises you most about humankind?”God answered...“That they get bored with childhood,they rush to grow...

A Journey of Firsts...
It all started as a germ of an idea way back in June-July 2004, when some of my friends started to plan for Leh in August. It was something I really wanted to do but then I knew that I was not ready to do Leh yet so then started thinking what else… It came to me one day that I haven't met my relatives...
