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!

Lovely weather and Exam

Doesnt the title describe it already? Duhhh! Cant really concentrate in this lovely weather. Oh news! We actually played cricket on one of the remote streets :D Hows that? (Yes on full pitch!) We even managed to hit a window on one of the nearby house. Luckily the glass here is strong. LOL. Also baffled a few Americans and their dogs (who were probably wondering what form of Baseball is this).
For the time we played cricket, it felt I was back home!

So its no surprise I havent really studied for the exam on 19th..Hope it wont be a disaster! Enjoy!

Sunshine!

The sun is out! The weather is improving by day. Finally, there are signs that winter might end soon. Trees are eager to get some leaves. And my hands are itching to get hold of my camera which has been dormant because of the snow cover.

It has been gloomy for past 3-4 months and its time to get some cozy sunshine with a hint of breeze. Im fed up of wearing thermals and all that woollen stuffing. It sucks! Time for sunglasses,shorts and flip flops ;)

*Bows to the sun*

Thanks!

Thanks to all who have appreciated my rambling here. But, I'd like to see some comments on here too. Type it out you lazy bums! ;)

Cheers!

Spring Break!!!!!

Yay!! The spring break is here! And yes, today's exam was pretty decent. It was hell lengthy and the professor said "I dont expect you to finish it." The hell? Why did he have to keep it so long if he knew we cant finish it?

Anyway...so I have this week long break. How do I plan to spend it? Well, I will be working and then I have to complete some assignments. Not really a "break". Yeah, thats how it is. I never really had a break in long time, in its true sense. But hopefully that will pay off, dont know when. LOL.

I'm tired right now and probably will call it night. Tc :)

Objective updated : Exam, March 5 11:00 hours

Yeah, one exam is down. It went really well. The next is on 5th. Now you know why I have kept such a wierd title (apart from marketing issues =D).

My next exam is pattern recognition and yeah, the professor is well known to put some nasty problems. That is the 'prior knowledge' I have. Will let you know the details of the massacre on 5th :D

I hope you guys are planning something for summer. Its good to know most of my school friends are posted/learning/wasting time ;) in Pune. No wonder I am missing Pune so much. But not as much as Nagar ...my favourite place on earth!
Yeah yeah, dont smile. Its way better than those crowdy cities and polluted air. And more than all, its better than Buffalo, though we have many buffaloes in Nagar.Lol.

Time to work on my defense for the predicted massacre. Later.
