To Be or Not To Be…

February 23, 2006 by Haas

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.

Bangalore Lions Crowned PHL Champs

February 2, 2006 by Haas

In probably the most eventful match of hockey I hv ever seen The Bangalore Lions (for the record my team :) ) became the second ever PHL champs.

Playing away from home for the fourth night in a row the Lions beat the Chandighar Dynamos 2-1 in match which saw 3 goals in the last half and 2 in the last quarter. Hari Prasad the double goal scorer for the Lions was the “Lion of the day”.

I caught this match from the middle of the 3rd quarter when the Lions lead 1-0 having scored a few mins ago at the start of the quarter. Replays showed the Lions converting their only penalty corner of the match… Hari pulling off a reverse flick that beat the goal keeper after a failed strike by his team mate Len Aiyappa.

Media Frenzy…

Times Now was launched today, another news channel now joins the parade of news channels that fill our tv sets. CNN IBN had started almost a month back, both news channels have one well know presenter from the NDTV network to market their channel.

This media frenzy worries me as now its clearly become a battle ground for who will bring the news first. This is good and bad at the same time. If you are wondering whats wrong with that… well that will soon mean that people will be encouraged to do crazy stuff coz they will make the 4 o clock news.

Crowd Puller…

I had been to Garuda Mall on sunday after Narnia with friends. We had lunch and did a little shopping and a few min before we left we saw a crowd gathering in the center of the Mall. When we peeped there we realized that a Disney event was happening and everywhere I saw people … Read more

I believe I can fly…

January 9, 2006 by Haas

Once its done its hard to explain how it was. Words fail me even now as I try to get my mind back to the state it was for those 3 amazing minutes. I still find it hard to believe… I flew.

One cloudy Sunday afternoon in the outskirts of Bangalore, 9 people walked up and braced themselves to a parachute. Not knowing what to expect, each one took turns getting hurled up 300 feet in the air dragged by a jeep.

By the time we reached Jakkur Aerodrome we had seen it all heavy rain, tons of clouds and even parts with the sun beating down. When we arrived at the airfield we were thrilled to see people in parachutes in the sky. The wind was good and no sign of rain :).

It took us a few mins to get registered and we had to wait almost 45 min before getting our turn. There were 3 starting points, we were on the right most one.

Satish was the first one up
