Resolved Bhoot Mystery

July 15, 2011

I know I’ve used ‘booth’ in my previous post but realised later that ‘bhoot’ is better. Just the spelling -adapting to the correct one in this post. So, you know what happened at the airport that night. If you need a quick recall of events, read the previous post first. Up to date? Let’s continue. [...]

The Airport Booth

June 27, 2011

It’s not the English booth, like the telephone booth. It’s the Hindi booth, like the Ram Gopal Varma’s movie. Telugu lo – deyyam! We’ve seen it live in Hyderabad International Airport. Well, not literally seeing with our eyes per se, but experienced it. I couldn’t stop laughing all night in spite of being in trouble. [...]

Close call with phishing on facebook

June 1, 2011

It was 11:30 pm and having just completed my mango picture and dinner last night, I was relaxing on the couch, watching ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ on my desktop. Few minutes into the sitcom, my iPhone beeped and showed an alert about some comment on one of my facebook Notes. Laptop wasn’t very far – so [...]

4 TV shows I like

December 3, 2010

About a month ago, I requested your favorite Telugu TV shows. The idea was to understand the tastes a little, compare the entertainment/ information patterns and conduct a poll to get the creme of the lot. Well, as there are no responses to help me out, here are the top TV shows I watch and [...]

YES!YAMAHA

November 11, 2010

I saw an ad on TV couple of weeks ago. That was the first I saw for that bike. While I didn’t concentrate much on the ad, the idea of a new vehicle from YAMAHA made me open the website and take a look at the available products. I was not happy with the already [...]

Miyapur to Madhapur

August 20, 2010

We stay near Miyapur (enroute to Bachupally) and work in Madhapur. Hyderabad. Some call these areas as ‘in’ Hyderabad, some call it ‘just outside/ sub-urbs’ of the abad and we just call it Miyapur, Hyderabad; whatever that association may mean to different people. This is our normal route to office: Bachupally road Vikas school – [...]

Varsham – it ‘feels’ different

July 15, 2009

I received a ‘missed call’ from the driver, something he does every day when he reaches my place and that indicates the cab is ready. I completed my lunch, grabbed my bag and ran down the stairs. It was drizzling but that shouldn’t matter as I have a cab to get to work. I reached [...]

The day I got my YAMAHA

July 9, 2009

“Do you have a brown one?” I asked the sales guy in between grasping breaths as soon as I rushed into the YAMAHA showroom. He stared at me for a few seconds and asked with a puzzled look: “What?” I then gave him a few more details. “I am here to buy a YAMAHA Crux. [...]

Thank ME for the monsoon!

July 6, 2009

I am sure everyone is happy that it rained over the weekend. Though delayed by almost a month compared to the standard schedule, monsoon started everywhere else a week before and finally it is good that Hyderabad is catching up as well. Hope this is not a false alarm like it happened a few weeks [...]

The night that wasn’t

June 24, 2009

Last night I was fast asleep when the alarm went off. I usually depend just on my mobile phone and it was right beside me. The ‘Soni De Nakhre’ song from ‘Partner’ in Sony Ericsson Walkman mobile right beside the pillow would probably wake up anyone successfully. 4 am is my normal wake up time [...]
