F1 is back

After a fantastic season last year where the championship was undecided until the last corner of the brazilian grand prix, F1 is back. After all the pre-season speculations regarding the rules, teams and the money involved in the game, finally the race for the best driver title starts tomorrow at Albert park,Australia.

Too many questions to be answered in this season... Will Hamilton defend his title with a struggling Mclaren??.. Can Ferrari get back the driver championship??..Will Alonso move on to Ferrari next year??.. Have Honda done a real big mistake by selling their team to Brawn GP who looks to be supreme form??... Only time will give the answers..

Dont forget to catch tomorrow's race at 11:30 AM IST..

Update:: Surprise, Surprise..(or is it???? ) Jenson Button on pole for tomorrow's race as Brawn GP take the first row. Will Button win a race after 3 years, the last one being in Hungary ,2006??.

McLaren still struggling with 14and 15th on the grid.. Ferrari at 6th(Massa) and 7th(Kimi).

Been long long time

Yes, it has been more than a month since I wrote my last post on my blog. My blog has been sleeping all these days whereas I have been hardly able to catch some sleep. Sometimes things make your mind so much pre-occupied that you hardly feel interested to do your normal day work let alone updating the blog.

This is just a wake call for my blog and my way of telling the world that am still alive :-P

Btw, recently there has been so much buzz around twitter. Almost everybody looks to be twittering. I thought I should try my hands on twitter too and here I am ...

Hopefully I am keep my twitter updated... Let me know if you are there too...

No Onions Nor Garlic

I escaped from office early today evening just to finish reading the remaining 100 pages of this truly hilarious novel . No Onions Nor Garlic , written by Srividya Natarajan is a total fun , comic novel with loads of I-dont-find-it-in-any-dictionary kind of words (since many of them must be "invented" by the author).

The story revolves around an orthodox professor Ram ( member of TamBrahmAss ;-) ) and his student, Sundar and loads of other characters who find themselves related to these people in one way or the other. Ram wishes to get his daughter, Jay married to Sundar and Sundar is in love with Jiva ,a backward caste girl. Then there comes few more characters and lot of permutations and combinations to add spice to the story.

An absolute timepass novel which made me ROFL in the later half and a bollywood style climax. Strongly recommend this novel if you are missing your daily dose of laughter. My Thanks to Harini for sharing the book

A day of shopping

Monday being republic day,this is an extended weekend and I have my long list of work to be done. No,not official work, but things like reading novels, watching movies and more movies. A new item was added to my list when a friend of mine called up on thursday to check if I can accompany him for shopping... Stop!!!! I know it is weird for two guys to out with the actual intention of "shopping".. The fact is, friend of mine is leaving for US next week and we had to buy loads of stuffs for the journey.

So, our shopping maha-expedition started at around noon from jayanagar. By then, I had already spent an hour at one of the book store and had bought two novels and a movie. We headed towards S.P road, the place to look out for (pirated) electronic and computer goods in search of portable hard disk. And then we moved on to buy DVDs, Game CDs,trolleys, warm clothes, shirts and so on.. It was 9 in the night by the time our list had reached the last item, a mobile phone.. At the end of the day, we together have shopped for around 17K and roamed around whole of Bangalore from Jayanagar to SP Road to Majestic to Koramangala to Commercial Street...

What a day!!! and what a start to my weekend..Time to retire to bed after a tireful day.. :)
