Heavy Traffic on 31st May 2005 in Bangalore

It was another day of traffic for whole Bangalore city. Reason: Rain at approx. 5:30-6:30pm.
From Electronic city, whoever left after 6pm, they have to wait for 3hrs in the traffic. That was the highest waiting that i have experienced till now. People whose house, is just 25-30min away from Electronic city, it took 3hrs to reach home that day!!!!!!!

List of ToDos

Why isn't it easy when u sit at home and become lazy that you even forget to make a to-do lists. And keep forgetting that you need to be more organized!! Huh!! Well i am out of it now. .  I have so much to do and I need to figure out what needs to be done first and with priority. I just wish I can go to my pre-marriage life. So that I do things at my own pace.  Well thats just an advantage of being a single. Now I need to be more responsible which I am not becoming. :)  Nowadays running after the kid, thinking of what to feed him and feeding him is the most time i spend in. I  know that these responsibilities are new and will always be there, but now I want some break. It isn't that I want to leave all the responsibilities, but I want to become more organized so that I get time for myself, for my kid and be happy in the game.

BANGALORE: Saturday night's rainfall of 121 mm was a strange leveller — the pavement dweller and the Ford commuter battled it out. Walls crashed on swish apartments and in low-lying areas, important arterial roads were inundated with four-feet water, citizens in as many as 40 areas stayed home, mopping the watery mess, simply because they could not possibly step out. The most important roads in the city have been blocked — Mysore Road, Hosur Road, Magadi Road. Hosur Road, a national highway connecting important cities, the lifeline from East coast to west coast, buzzing with techies, is in limbo. The 121 mm of rain has battered any signs of technology from the area. To start with, 7,500 phone lines with numbers starting 2573, have snapped. BSNL officials reckon it would take at least four days to restore order. As for Bommanahalli, Begur Road, Sarjapur Road, Whitefield were all flooded. There was one confirmed death: the body of Sohail, a five-year-old boy, was found in a dug-up tr...

1000 Islands Kingston, Canada

I have visited 1000 islands in Kingston, Ontario, Canada during my first weekend in Canada. We were a group of 8batchelors and 1 family. And the trip was nice. We started early in the morning from 15, Woodridge Cresent, taking out 2 cars, one drove by Lakshmi,( now plannning to get residence of Canada) and another by Pratik, our collegue. We reached near the island cruise at 10:30 taking 2 short breaks, got freshed up, took some photos, had a nice lunch in a Thai restaurant - rice and some vegetable curry .. And then started off with our 3 hour cruise. Start was very good, but later got bored after 1 hr and 30 min. Came down from the deck, listened to the musical show, which went very good.. Started back to home at around 7:30 .. Returned the car, got down in the downtown, and watched the Parliament night show. It was amazing, and it was so simple the technology and lots of information they have put on the slides. Really a good event. Canadian govt put these light and sound shows on th...
