Brainfall.. some I agree, some I don’t

What City Should You Live In?

You should live in Paris. The city of lights will appeal to your appreciation of beauty and romance. You are a lover and a poet by nature, and Paris' sensitive charms will be a perfect match for yours.

Yeah! I do like a place that is full of art, architecture, culture and fine dining. But I wud always prefer a city close to the sea. The farther I move inland I somehow feel all suffocated and claustrophobic.

Which Disney Hero Are You?

You are Beast. You are ugly on the outside but those who know you well have learned that underneath your exterior is a marvelous prince. Your warmth and patience are your greatest qualities and they have helped you make loyal friends. Protect your friends well because they will soon repay you in full.

I’m hurt!! ;)

Which Friends Character Are You?

You are Chandler. You're funny and that's why people like to have you around. You're also a great friend, and when someone you care about is in trouble, they know to come to you for some level-headed advice followed by some sharp sarcasm.

Me! Chandler! Naah.. I even retook the test and still ended up with chandler.
This I totally disagre.. though I do relate to all 6 of the friends characters in one way or the other (don't we all do, at least at some levels) I totally resemble the Gellers the most. I'm pretty much geeky like Ross and love to give gyan sessions on all sorts of topics. But I’m most like Monica..I am a cleanliness freak and am obsessive compulsive about things being in their rightful place. There aer a lot of things that we have in common.

Which Hogwarts House Would You Be In?

The Sorting Hat would put you in Ravenclaw. You are wise, perceptive, and quietly brilliant. You may not always be noticed right away, but you are widely respected for your humor and brains.

No reaction here.. I'm pretty much indifferent.. but I’ve always had this fascination for Slytherin.. the dark side is not without its own appeal I must say…

Which Harry Potter Character Are You?

You are part Harry. You're a loyal and courageous friend. You'd do anything to protect the people you love, especially if it'll get you a break from class for a little while.

You are part Hermione. You're a bookworm always in search of answers. When pressed, however, you can always be counted on to put away the books and help your friends.

I’m ecstatic!

Which College Major Should You Be?

Your major should be part Business. You believe confidence is everything, and nothing's more important than a first impression. Success is measured in dollars and your attitude's going to make you very successful. All that's left is to choose which I-Bank to work for after you graduate.

Your major should be part Art. You are sensitive, creative, and you don't follow established rules. Unfortunately, you'll have to follow some rules if you ever want that promotion at Starbucks.

Finally some indication that I didn’t make a grave mistake of doing an MBA.. coz I’ve constantly had this feeling that I am in the wrong place.. I’ve had an aptitude for science and tech stuff and my heart always felt for art…

A wanderer once again...

After spending a good (extremely extremely good) 3 weeks in Bangalore, I'm on the move again... But somehow, I feel really bored this time.. Its just for a week but still I feel tired and lonely... One moment you are surrounded by friends; I mean really good friends and then you are alone again...

Not able to cope up with this sudden change... Can't wait for this trip to end so that I can go back to Bangalore...

Into the land of Tipu Sultan…

During the first week of my job, my company arranged a trip for all the trainees to Mysore. It was my second trip to the place but we went to more places this time as one of us knew the place very well. The best sight is Mysore is Tipu’s palace which gets lit up at night. It is an amazing sight to watch. But since we had to return to Bangalore early, we had to give that sight a miss…

St. Philomina’s Church

Tipu’s Palace

Mysore Zoo

Chamundi Hills

Good Ole Mumbai…

I had a dream yesterday night that I was back in Mumbai… Traveling on the Mumbai locals, listening to the peppy Malishka on RedFM. I have many good memories of the 6 weeks that I’d spent there… And staying at the posh Cuffe Parade was an experience indeed… the 10^th floor apartment at Maker Towers offered stunning views of the city; from the grand sunrise in the morning to the lit up marine drive in the night….

and I didn’t even havta get up from my bed to enjoy all this ;)

More of Agra...

After the Taj visit, we also went for a short visit to Akbar's fort...



One of the many windows from which the Taj can be seen in the distance...

Wah Taj!

Sometime back, I was posted in Agra for a month. And towards the end of my stint, I finally found the time and more importantly the right mood to take a trip to he Taj...

I entered through the large gateway and caught the first glimpse of the famed monument; expecting to be thrilled and awed.. but I felt nothing...


the whole trip was a big disappointment and the only thing that made me sit up and take notice was the workmanship and the amazing dexterity with which the carvings were made with a great degree of perfection and similarity...

and so, a weary me came back to my dingy hotel room and uploaded the snaps. and lo! the awe and wonder suddenly appeared out of nowhere... the snaps were great and the Taj looked awesome in the pics...

I the underdog...

The feeling is there... I can't ignore it... Of late I’ve really begun to feel like I am the underdog… my best friend's voice rings loud and clear... "you are a loser Rakesh!! you are just a loser" of course, he was just kidding then… now all of a sudden, it all seems so true; so real...

Well, can it really be true... What could be the reason??

Depression… running out of steam... or is it just Monday morning blues… I do not know… and I do not wanna know… coz I am scared… really really scared… of what the real reason could be………………………………………………………………..!!
