The Bottled Menu
Had been to Samarkand on Infantry Road for lunch with colleagues yesterday. The Afghan themed restaurant which was designed like a cave looked amazing, the food was even better.
The place was packed to the brim as we arrived and we had to wait at the bar. The bar menu was really informatively done. We were taken aback when the bartender passed us a bottle 
The food was truly delicious and the desserts were very unique. I guess with a price tag of approx 500/head its got to be that good

The Festival of Colours…
March 15, 2006 11:42 pm
Today was “Holi”, the Indian festival of colours… I had absolutely no expectations of the day coz I had never ever played holi but all that changed in the evening. First Anant appears from nowhere all covered in gulal(coloured powder) and threatened to cover us in colour right at our places if we did not come out and play… Guess what we went out and had a blast…
We played for like 15 min and that was totally special for me… We were covered with red and blue all over our faces and hair… Theju and Preethi hv explained the event beautifully in their blogs.
I returned home early to take a bath and had a few things I had to get done but I got this call from Arpit who ocassionally drops in, he said he wanted some software off the net immediately… I msg him back saying that I am covered with colors and will take a bath and he can then come and take it. When he arrived I had just finished my bath a few min ago and had put on clean clothes… He was covered in gulal

To Be or Not To Be…
February 23, 2006 12:39 pm
Had been yesterday to Rangashankara to catch the play “Hamlet” with my collegues from Applibase. The play was the first play I hv been to in almost a decade and it was worth all the running around .
The Indianized version of the play had (hold ur breath) Duality(2 ppl playing almost every char), Dialouges in English(classical lines by Shakespeare), Hindi, Tulu and Kannada. 3 forms of Dramatics(Dhrupad, Yakshagana and Theatre), 2 ppl playing Hamlet(one being a really beautiful girl ) and some hilarious sequences.
Fortunately Preethi had given us all a link to a summary of Hamlet, so we were not taken back by this flavour of it. If you hv not read it, please do before you go to the play its worth the effort.

The Wild and Back

You breathe every second of your life,
But the seconds that really count are the ones that take your breadth away…
That line makes so much more sense after a weekend like the last one….
Last weekend Team Applibase set out to spend a couple of days in Bandipur. Firstly special thanks to Anant… he got the booking done for us at Bandipur and without that we would have had a lot of probs wrt lodging(considering the Tiger Census and all).
The plan was simple… Go to Bandipur, enjoy Trekking and the Safari, Trek a mountain or two on the way back and be at Bangalore early monday morn. The execution was very different…

Kitten at Work
January 8, 2006 12:17 amTheju’s cat recently gave birth to kittens. One of the kittens visited the office on friday and made our day.
Theju brought over the kitten on friday to give it to Vidya, whose place is only a few min walk from office. On the insistance of yours truly and few other interested people we asked Vidya to bring it over later in the evening. She kidly obliged and here he was.
He looked scared initially and in a few min got used to us and stopped mewing.
