To Be or Not To Be…

by
Hamlet

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 :P.

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 :P ) 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.

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…

Theju’s cat recently gave birth to kittens. One of the kittens visited the office on friday and made our day.

In my hands

He looked scared initially and in a few min got used to us and stopped mewing.

Applibase’s New Year Party

by

Applibase decided to celebrate the coming of the new year a couple of days in advance. In the evening of 30th Dec 2005 the (small) crowd assemebled in our conference room for the festivities… What we got was absolutely simply amazing.

Preethi and Asha were the perpetrators and the crime was giving us hours of fun. The plot involved getting us in the same room (something that is incredibly hard to achieve) and put us head to head in a tournament. The tournament involved skill, determination, hunger(I know u guys are laughing) and pain too.

Asha and Preethi were not a part of the competitors and that left just Pramod, Prasad, Theju, Shruthi, Anant, Vidya, Musavir, Varma and I. The draws were done before the start of each event and the first match was between Theju and Prasad
