Lalbagh: Nearest place to feel one with nature

Let me try making 20 ripples this time..

Catch me if you can..

Beauty conscious..

Health conscious.. 20 laps finished.. One last lap...!

You and I, in this beautiful world..

Lazy Sunday morning.. Let me sleep for some more time..

Shimmery water... Do I look more beautiful?

Tree kissing lake..

Various shades of green..

Waiting for the spring to be full of flowers..

For a nature lover like me who lives in a polluted city and glass buildings day long, lalbagh is a blessing. I spend my weekend mornings amidst the lush green, old huge trees, beautiful lake, flowers, colors, a good number of special species of flora and fauna. It is also a wonderful feeling to meet old friends and cherish sweet old memories while strolling in the beautiful garden. Thanks to the rains in B'lore for bathing my city everyday and making my lalbagh look even more beautiful, fresh and high contrast!

Waiting for the next weekend! :)

Portraits of my friends

Umbrella Story

One fine day, Guru comes across a lonely umbrella and makes friends with her.

He then starts his journey with her.



Goes to a lake, shares beautiful moments with her. ;)

Later, introduces her to his friends.

Introduces to many more friends.

Then comes heavy gusty winds trying to separate her from him.He tries his best to protect her.But unfortunately, the mighty winds try to take him along with the umbrella.

Unable to see this, Viju runs to his rescue. The battle with mighty winds gets severe. Instead of letting go his friend, Viju decides to continue the struggle to save his friend.

Touched by this, Vishal decides to rescue his friends and wins the battle! :)

Moral of the story:
1. A true friend goes any extent to save you.
2. Unity is strength. It can win any battle.
3. If your love is true and strong enough, the whole world supports you to to be inseparable ;) ;)

SAP Guest House, Walldorf

One frequently asked question by my colleagues both from India and Germany was if I stayed in SAP Guest house that was inaugurated very recently.

So, here are some pics of the Guest house. The best things about this place are, WAN phones are available in every room, SAP NW can be directly accessed and extremely close to the office (In fact, my office at building 1 could be seen from my room). Apart from these, I was happy to stay at this place for its freshness :) and the warm environment. However the only negative point is there is no kitchen available. Nevertheless, I hope the rooms can be enhanced with at least an option like a microwave.

Birds of Prey show at Burg Guttenberg, Germany

A sleepy owl yawning..

A huge vulture..

This vulture was more like Vishwamitra.. He was just not able to see anything else but was just following his food..

The castle at Burg Guttenberg, Germany at the backdrop of river Neckar has a museum inside which exhibits objects from the middle ages. It also hosts show of special birds like owls, falcons, kara kara. Here are some pics of birds from the show.. More pics of the castle and the bird show will follow.

My New Baby! :)

I'm in love with this car for its speciality "Beauty with Brains". It has an Italian design with stylish looks, a very strong body, comfortable drive, a lot of safety features, value for money and the best part "Blue and Me". Blue and Me syncs the mobile device with the car audio and can receive, make calls. It can even read out incoming SMS :)
All the audio, mobile controls are on the steering wheel. It has lot more interesting features, will update soon.

Attractive Bathroom Accessories

My favourite shot! :) I tried a creative perspective by placing the camera below glass tea poi. I got this beautiful print of the tea poi over the object! :)


I couldn't resist buying this set when I went window shopping! :)
