Scribbles of a Lazy Geek

Ok, initially the idea was to write a post about the Infy to CTS experience – but then I choose not to complete this one. Because, I can write about the Infy experience for pages at a stretch but dont want to write prematurelly about CTS.  Later, I thought about writing about the previous year as a whole, but whenever I started writing it ended up ‘From Infy to CTS’ post. I made two good attempts to write this one, and numerous short and half hearted .. naa .. not half hearted, just short attempts where laziness took over earlier than most times. I have now realized that I wont be able to complete this one, or even if I manage to complete this one, it is going to be too long. So, what I’ll do is post the two drafts! For a change let’s see how the drafts look when they get published unpolished :). So, here it goes – 1 st one (this was drafted sometime around late November) – Back to Delhi – and an End of a 4 year sti...

It did not take me more than 3 seconds to decide on the title of this post. It had to be something in Kannada, and what better than this phrase - which anyone who has stayed in Bangalore for more than a month would understand. ‘Namma Bengaluru’ means something like ‘Apna Bengaluru/Bangalore’. And, if you are one of those who doesn’t understand this phrase, then you must be really bad with languages, even worse than what I am (I haven’t learnt any Kannada , apart from 3-4 words/phrases – one of them being Kannada Gothilla – meaning Kannada nahi aati). This post is meant to be all about Bangalore (atleast the idea is, I don’t know how it turns out), I owed one to this city. There have been umpteen times that I have decided to write something about Bangalore, and have even started writing a few times but all were unsuccessful attempts. I think this is the right time to key down this post, finally! The earlier times, the only reason why I was not able to complete the post was because eve...

 Ok, this 26 Jan was different than how most of the holidays used to be in Bangalore! As this is my first holiday here (last weekend I went to Bhatinda, to meet my cousin, so was not at home – and that trip was a little adventurous in its own ways, so the weekend gone by was pretty exciting), I was a little scared thinking about what I will be doing here all day. On 25th Jan, I slept at 10 PM, after drinking my glass of milk – I still don’t have internet here, so had nothing else to do. The only plan I had for this 26th Jan was to wash my clothes, get an internet connection and clean up and setup my new room. Also, I had planned to meet 2 of my school friends(Gagan and Bhatti) who are in Chandigarh, but that somehow did not materialize and is postponed to the weekend.   The day began rather early, considering a holiday, and much to my surprise and a little bit of anger. It was still 8:30, and it was cold, and I was in my blanket enjoying my sleep in the bed when suddenly I...
