Weekend at Amboli

Just had a great weekend at Amboli. For those who have not visited it.. DONT MISS IT!
Its said to be a heaven for amphibians. We went on a trail in the evening.
Darkness, forest, heavy rain, snakes, frogs and leeches! The perfect set up for an exciting trail.

We sighted two pit viper snakes, some frogs and tarantula spiders! Well the leeches feasted on our legs..and trust me, its not a good sight seeing them grow all fat after sucking our blood!

Completely drenched on the trail and hungry, we feasted on the fish and chicken curries. Exhausted, I slept instantly once back to our resort while others were experimenting with Charlie Chaplin and Shivaji Maharaj's spirits attempting planchette. Though it turned out that the answers given by them were wrong ;) , it sure must have been some entertainment! Missed it..duh!

Weekend trips always leave behind a hangover, especially when Monday awaits you !

Rockin' Bangalore !

Hey again! :D

I know, long time since I typed in a blog. Well I have settled in Bangalore finally (that is got a internet connection at my room). The room is not bad either.

The best thing about Bangalore is the weather. Roads are good. But traffic is HORRIBLE! Yeah, note the caps. I thought traffic in Pune is bad, but this is worst!
And if you think rikshaw wallas in Pune are bad, think again. They have far supreme competitors here!

HP Labs is a cool place to work at. I'm working on Video Summarization. Due to confidentiality statement and (now the real reason) because I dont want to bore you with it, I cant disclose about it more :P

Food is good. Especially the Biryanis and Dosas. Yum!
