A short trip to the nearby shore temple with colleagues...

Calicut

Two days of calicut visit and am in love with this city. It is totallyRefreshing and with an antique tinge. My good friends marriage was traditionally celebrated here this weekend. I totally enjoyed this visit as everything was new to me here -kerala wedding, calicut city, people and food.


Day1-sarovaram boating.



day2-Marriage day.



Day2- a good bowling match to end our trip.

Toy shop..

Had been to madras for some personal work.it was just for a day.
stayed at my aunts place and roamed around a bit visiting some nearby maals.dresses or any electronic gadgets never draw my attention but every time when i enter a good pen shop(Williams pen showroom) I get this childish enthusiasm and happiness.I look at them with glowing eyes(and awesomeness) and most of the times end up undecided which ones to buy because of the sheer quality and variety they offer here.having pelikan,parker,lamy and Sheaffer in my collection now but every such visits just makes me realize that I still have much more to go.this always reminds me of my childhood where chocolates and toys used to have the same effect.you grow up and many times forget to enjoy such things in life and I feel that having an hobby always keeps this habit floating.

Reynolds...

i just love fountain pens....after parker,heropen,pelikan,pierre cardin and Sheaffer now its reynolds...bought it at an exclusive REYNOLDS showroom in chennai..just loved it...very good one for its low price [just 0.8k :P]

Back...

Hyderabad trip over..good 2 days of Cme and food...afternon pretty much stayed back inside a nearby mall....saw HEROINE movie..being MB's fan i had great expections (fashion,corporate) and it lived up to the mark..good storyline with nice cast.another 14 hours of journey back.hope my mp3 player supports til i get back.
P.s
Being a Nike caps fan couldn't resist it....around 0.9k!

Coffee...

Night coffee....day1 Cme over...

Hyderabad....

Crossed vellore....

disaster...

Pune visit [unlike Chandigarh] was a total disaster [except for the exam part]...poor food,sick hotel hospitality [municipality restrooms seemed better] and on our return trip to banglore we had to suffer from food poisoning [saureus or bacillus?] and the trains cleanliness didn't help either..Indian railways need to seriously think about this[improving sanitation]..our train's hygiene and rest rooms suck and the contamination we get exposed is nothing short of a

Only nice thing about our visit was the afmc campus and the way they conducted the exam...absolutely methodical!!...and the AFMC campus is nothing short of a mini fortress [each department has its own independent building with museum] and i think campus itself is a big motivation for us to get into institutions like this.

p.s-
