Another Sunday

Chicken curry smell..This is what comes to my mind, when I hear the week name - Sunday :)  Once back from the church, my moms special chicken currys smell welcomes me for the perfect lunch of the day. Even to the end of the Sunday class, chicken will start dancing in my head :) ...That was a nice child hood memory.  

 

Being in Bangalore the one place we enjoy our Sunday lunch is at Achayan's. That's a kerala restaurant. Ani likes that place very much. Steaming rice with real kerala dishes, it's a real treat for the taste buds.

 

Its tough to commute in Bangalore in public transport. Its costly and will hinder your free movement. That's the reason why we went for Mahindra Duro. It met all our requirements and the ROI factor, thats amazing.

 

We reach all most everywhere in Bangalore on Duro. The Freedom of Journey factor, we enjoys it at the best. I like long drives with Ani behind telling me the stories, cracking jokes, sometimes even fighting over conflicting talks. We really enjoy all these.

 

Service at church, followed by Achayan's lunch and wandering in the malls in Bangalore makes our typical  Sunday.

A Brisk Morning Walk

It’s after so many years I am trying a morning walk. I never got a chance since I joined my first company. This used to happen when it is the vacation time.

Ani is running on a tight schedule since she joined the new project. She is not getting enough time after the office time and Facebook farming. But I like the way she enjoys her sleep, calmly without any disturbance. She has to get up by morning 7. Keeps the alarm at 6. The alarm strikes at every five minutes till it hits 7.

Some times, she keeps the alarm at 6, as usual, one weekends. The alarm strikes at 6, then she will wake up and switch it off and with an utter satisfaction that she don't have to go to office and then her sleep. Wonderful. Whenever I see this weekend exercise, I realize the value of happiness  :)

While I was staying with four of my friends, I used to keep the alarm and what will happen is everyone else will wake up except me and they will be in a frustrated mood to crush my mobile. They never did that but. Thanks for their concern towards a friend.

Sleeping with all that happiness and peace is really a blessing. Have you ever tried thanking the lord for all his blessings, love and care and then sleep with that gratitude?

It will really change the way you live...

Indian Coffee House

Those who studied at CUSAT calls the place, "ICH". Thats the short form for the Indian Coffee house. For a visitor ICH will be a strange name and need to ask what it is.

But for all the students at my college, it was/is the bencmarking point. Almost everything has an ICH touch there.

Where is the Btech campus?, "thats left from ICH"
Where is the library, "thats right from ICH"...
Where should we stand for the bus pickup, "Infront of ICH".
Macha you lost five papers..."ok ok lets party at ICH".
Teacher, "where is Rajesh"...."I saw him at ICH".

The uniform of the suppliers at ICH may track back to the kingdom era, that my friend called one of them and placed an order, "Mr. King, one coffee here"...

That place will stay for ever in the nostalgic memory of those from CUSAT.

The Countryside Road Trip

Despite the fact that it is a Saturday today, we didn't plan a great outing. Rather we thought of spending more time at our sweet home and discovering the surrounded areas of our apartment. A small road trip.

We took the road less traveled and decided to go further until we discovered a flower farm, then a vineyard.

Ani was happy and she was busy clicking photos, while I was pondering about the book: Acres of Diamonds by Russell Conwell. I remember when Ani told me that she wanted to visited a vineyard. We planned a trip and went to Nandhi hills, traveled around 100+ kilometers, to see some deserted vineyards. But now we could see wonderful vineyard, just a kilometer away from our house and Russell’s book made sense to me once again.

An escape to the Greenery

Those who have stayed at vythiri resort; they are not going to forget that place. It was our honeymoon destination. An awesome place and I didn’t stop recommending that place to my friends yet. It s a perfect place for a runaway vacation.
