Revived and rejuvinated

After a long hiatus of 11 months, I am back on blogger.
Where was I?
In the past 11 months I have moved into my own flat in Bangalore. Bidding farewell to Delhi was not as difficult as I thought. The joy of getting into own home was the main motivation. Somehow I share the same attitude that my father had. I dint want to let-out my flat to someone else and then crib about it being spoilt. Being closer to hometown meant more visitors and more visits to friends and relatives. This was the charm that thrilled my wife. Of course the pleasant Bangalore weather was another pulling factor.
Traffic infrastructure in Bangalore is pathetic. Narrow roads, one way routes, traffic jams. This was what I dreaded and hated about Bangalore. But luckily my office is on  the widest road in Bangalore, the Outer Ring Road.

In the meantime, I had dropped out of Phd. Now I am an IIT drop-out. Lets see if that makes my life big :)
Just Joking. Phd had been boring and taking too long. It requires extreme patience and motivation to keep oneself engaged to one research topic for more than 5 yrs.

Writing blogs
It is not that there was nothing to blog these days. There was a series of journeys that we accomplished in our 1.5 yrs stay in Delhi. It was full of honeymoon trips. Thats what the revival path is for the blog from now. I am going to try and pen down all the trips that I had been to and not blogged yet.

Keeping watching!!

IIT VIRASAT 2006 - SPIC MACAY

SPIC MACAY - Society for Promotion of Indian Classical Music And Culture Amongst Youth It is one of the societies that I have appreciated the most in IIT. The best thing about SPIC MACAY is the IIT VIRASAT festival that is organised every year. It is a week long programme where eminent artists of Indian Classical music and dance perform in IIT campus. A festival that gives us an exposure to the pure forms of music and dance (the film music, albums and rock are all modified versions of the classical form). In the year 2004, I was first exposed to SPIC MACAY during the VIRASAT festival. I attended almost all the events, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Last year, I missed all the events primarily because of lack of company. (I hate going alone). That being the background about SPIC MACAY and me, let us now see how it all changed this year. IIT VIRASAT 2006, was held from 27th Feb to 10th March. As usual there were notices of weekly meetings. Each of these contained an appeal for volunteers t

Tea in a teapot

If I had fought And not got caught I would have taught My little tot Rather than rot In a prison so hot. I resolved that I ought To find a slot For an escape plot When the gaurds would not Fire a gunshot. Help, I sought From the General's daught Whom I thought Was a sexpot. Either she forgot Or did boycott But I waited a lot at the fixed spot. Tired, I got Ready for a bloodshot When I bethought That I was on a cot And my mom had brought Tea in a teapot.

Whats on the menu

How many times have we looked at the right hand side of the menu card before ordering a dish? A recent observation during one of my trips to a restaurant is that we tend to look at the price tag associated with what we order (even though very not very conscious about it). And then this idea came up. A concept restaurant where the menu has items segregated in categories. There is a minimum price tag associated with each category and a maximum. Exact cost of the dish that you order is not given on the menu. Open your heart and order your meal and worry about the bill when it comes up. To add some more spice to this, the cost of each item shall not be fixed. It varies in real time depending upon the demand for that dish. If an item is ordered by many the cost goes up (as it shows that it is a popular dish here, it could be our speciality too). As technology advances and we have digital menu, we can give the customers the listing of the items in the menu according to this statistic
