TWISTER!

FUN FUN FUN! One must play it to experience it! Although I was a spoil sport amid the lot, I totally loved the madness involved in it.

A little more to it for the ones who are new to this.

Twister is played on a large plastic mat that is spread on the floor or ground. The mat is like a board game. It has four rows of large colored circles on it with a different color in each row: red, yellow, blue, and green. A spinner is attached to a square board and serves as a die for the game. The spinner is divided into four labeled sections: right foot, left foot, right hand, and left hand. Each of those four sections is divided into the four colors (red, yellow, blue, and green). After spinning, the combination is called (example: right hand yellow) and players must move their matching hand or foot to a dot of the correct color. In a two-player game, no two people can have a hand or foot on the same circle—rules are different for more people. Due to the scarcity of colored circles, players will often be required to put themselves in unlikely or precarious positions, eventually causing someone to fall. A person is eliminated when they fall or when their elbow or knee touches the mat. There is no limit to how many can play at once, but more than four is a tight fit.

For Example :D

Meeting my girls(college buddies) after seven long years was absolutely stimulating, Reynal it was nice and fun to have you in Bangalore :)

Ruby and Aijas thanks for being a great host, dinner was absolutely scrumptious. Janice & Priya – Waiting for the Bangkok trip and the shopping to follow :)

Happy Women's Day

A mystery that holds a countless thoughts and emotions, someone who can drive you crazy and yet one cannot fathom how flavourless the world would be without her. True to it undoubtedly ‘An epitome of beauty’

Dream the dreams that have never been dreamt – David Bower! Wishing all my girls a “Happy Women’s Day”

Fun Filled Weekends!

Weekends for me have always been ‘encountering’ although for now it’s a little minus. I’ve been occupied lately for the elementary reason ‘I AM NO MORE SINGLE’ ;)

Couple of days back we were at the Oterra to witness the ‘Bangalore Fashion Week’ along with a good friend. Guess what! I got to see Rahul Bose, he being one of the showstoppers - Short N Sweet: P There you go with his picture.

I was super thrilled about this and had been wanting to attend one for a while now. Alas! it did happen. Thanks to my darling husband and his friends :)

Last weekend was yet again another week which was productive and constructive as per the bunch and me. My husband and me had planned a shoot for this doting couple at Manchanbele. The couple was so engrossed in the shoot that it was our pleasure to capture these moments. I must say the turnout is MINDBLOWING! Well the groom was a lil difficult to manage although he did pull it off at the end :P. ‘A’ you truly made a ‘beautiful bride’ and ‘N’ along with being this 'bounteous groom' I liked your wine waistcoat too :D.  Oh Heavens... How could I miss on his outstanding sense of humor!

All’s well that ends well, We ceased it off with a whole lot of cheese burst pizza, choco lava, ice cream at ‘Natural’ and tonnes and tonnes of FUN.

Santy - It was nice knowing you... 

Giving due credit to my husband here who’s EXCEPTIONALLY EXCEPTIONAL at this skill of Photography.

August 01’ 2009, friends all the way from Mangalore!

The bunch at last made up their mind to make it to some spot away from Bengaluru. Nature Nirvana (Chikmagalur) was the most preferred, over all the other choices keeping in mind the distance and time. I’ve been to Chikmagalur a zillion times, although I just love the place and my craving to visit the place just does not end.

Waking up on August 1st, 2009 and starting by 4.30 AM that too on a so called work-shy Saturday was truly a herculean project ;) for all of us. Guess what! We did it! Three cheers to all of us!!

The mission kicked off when the two Swift’s and the Innova took off, in which a few kept croaking, a few other yapping and the remaining woolgathering ;). It was 6.30 AM and by then the bunch was all famished, we halted at ‘Kamath’ to have our morning meal, followed by a few picture sessions. After this we decided never to halt until we found ourselves amidst the clouds. This experience classifies as one of the ‘BEST EXPERIENCE’ ever had in my life so far.


We drove drove and drove, I don’t think I will ever forget this never-ending drive and ultimately hit our destination. Oh Boy! It sure was one heck of a drive. Just after we reached our destination all of us were in form and there emerged players from different fields playing their games be it cricket, throwball, badminton, carom and the very exciting scrabble. I must admit scrabble is not everybody’s game… well we did have Ruby, Amitha, Vandan and Sharnitha who had this profound vocab and kept showing off their skill. Soon after we munched and crunched on the heavy scrumptious meal, the tired all dispersed to catch a wink, Yawwwwwwn!
Evening dawned … and there we were all set to visit the nearby stream, and the coffee estate.


Now this was the place where I could lay my hands on some photography with my Digital Sony Cyber Shot. VOILA!! I did capture some decent shots; this is what the professionals told me. Interesting… I think am getting there ;) anyway this does not excite me, so let’s leave it here. I must admit I love being a part of the picture, well who does not like? After all these are the memories that I can have while I blow the candles on my 75th birthday.

And now for the most exciting part of the evening, singing, dancing, playing games.... u name it all we had it all. Sharath, the creative one amongst us who also happens to be an event manager had some exciting events planned for the bunch, we had a dance competition… Ofcourse my team won over Manu’s team ;) we flaunted an exquisite snake dance(we were given five minutes to practice the same) followed by a fashion show and then ‘Aahun Aahun Aahun’ on a repeat mode. We were just not tired dancing for songs from ‘Love Aaj Kal’. Personally I did not like the movie, but the songs are just too good.


‘Aahun Aahun Aahun’ from the very new ‘Love Aaj Kal’ was everybody’s favourite, specially after we realized that Sudhi had the perfect steps(ROFL) for the same. I also have a video on this, Thanks to Suraj.
We had two professional photographers with the SLR and the monopod, Madhu and Vandan who shot the models Sharnitha, Vishal, Ruby and Nishchith posing away to glory. Deepak, Shashwath, Krishna and Sharath were glued to their carom board, guess they haven’t seen one at Bangalore and so the urge to just play away.



Once we were done with the events we savored on our yummy meal and then hit the floor again, with this time the entire bunch dancing and the group posing away for more and more pictures around the bonfire. It was ‘Friendship day’ aswell, a perfect day for all of us to be together. Cheers to all you guys. As the saying goes, all good things come to an end and so was our much awaited trip. Before we got into our respective vehicles for the one last time at Nature Nirvana…. It was ‘Aahun Aahun Aahun’ again.



All in all one hell of a two day trip with more than 500 pictures in place, thanks all for making it happen especially Manu our only advocate ;). Krishna now that you know us better, please speak a little more than you always do ;)
