Very spacious chamundi express

Chamundi express, which plies between mysore and bangalore has better a\c compartment than the legendary shatabdi. Best part, it is as fast as shatabdi and much cheaper than shatabdi.

Biking with my Student Pal.

My student from pesit Mr. Sagar (I seem to have taught him only for an hour way back in 2005) joined me for a ride from iisc to kumarswamy layout (near DSCe college). It was quite an enjoyable ride. He treated me with idlis (what else can two kannadigas prefer for breakfast) at the end of our journey. We spoke a little on biking obsession and concluded that we must continue to be obsessed :-)
We covered 14km in 40  minutes. That's pretty decent given that we rode talking as much as we would if we were in a car. Haaaa joys of biking.
All in all a great way to start the day :-)

Sankee Tank is Getting More and More Beautiful


Ducks play around this little boat house everyday evening, don't miss taking a pic when you visit sankee tank the next time.

In Front of Circle Mariamma Temple


Click on the picture and read what is written in bold on top "Investment in Knowledge always pays the best interest". Not the dubious unscrutinized knowledge in these books of course!

An Auto Driver Calls me a Fool


I hit on a small talk with my autodriver and somehow our talks converged to education and career. He suggested me to write IAS and become an IAS officer. He says I can become rich in no time and that I can happily retire in 10 years. When I told him I can't be corrupted, he raised his hands and told me I was a fool and that I didn't know how to live :-) (nimige badhkakke gothilla). That is when I clicked this picture :-)

He told me that he would ensure that his children wouldn't talk righteousness like me, and that he would tell his kids that there is nothing wrong in taking bribery ;-)

All in all, had an interesting ride both in the auto and after getting out :-))))))

Coffee Day Lounge

Had been to coffee Day lounge and got to try a free french press coffee :-) They get you all the stuff and detail you with things so that you can prepare a cup of coffee for yourself. Coffee day is the best :-)

Attending a Talk in CNS

A talk by Dileep http://dileepgeorge.com/ . The talk was about how to reverse engineer the brain. He was humorous and made the talk short and sweet :-)

In DSCE


Talking to Prof. Ramesh Babu and Prof. Srinivas in Dayananda Sagar Computer Science Department. They have a new research lab dedicated to image processing research. The team is spearheaded by Prof. Ramesh Babu. It is great to see engineering colleges in Bangalore growing up in terms of research. I am sure, in the next coming years, this will be a center for excellence in Image processing.
