Keeping my travelogue stuff aside, wat lse can I talk on?! If I had to talk something on de cookery trials tat I hav taken in the recent past, yes I cud… On de one hand, I don think ppl over der wud be ready to tak any risks on my recipes (:P)…! On de other hand, I wud like to say tat de Veg Schezwan Fried Rice & American Chopsuey was not tat bad... It was ofcourse a joint venture..!

Coming to 2012, the year was hmmmmmm Gud... A little different than 2011... Had lots & lots of swt moments which I wud luv to recollect it evry nw & den.. Der wer some bitter moments as wel..!

Very few titbits of 2012 :

~First & Foremost .... Joy doubled wit de new addition to our family and we call de swt little bundle as 'Saikrish' [Ram & Krishna r here @ home nw :)]

~Trip wit de entire family to Yercaud (Dis is de 2nd trip wit de entire family)

~Lots & Lots of Bday Celebs, Treats & Parties as usual!!

~Movies in my metro wit my mom (All coz of my dearmost brothr...Thanks a lot na:))

~45 - Mission Accomplished & ppl started saying 'Plz don eat much' :P

~Wedding bells rung for Iniya ka.. & Yes, for Siva na too :)

~On de professional side, it has been so far so guD! :)

Wat lse... Wishing yu all a very Gud yr ahead !;-) Stay Cool Stay Happppyyyy!;-)

Que Dios los bendiga (Sorry for the typo, if any;-P)

As I (we) travel !!! ;-)

I know I'm late in de game... Its been exactly 100 days since I had been for a short trip... & to be more precise, for a pilgrimage..

It was on Jun 30th... Had to be ready by Early mrng 4 am... Sry it has to be late-night hr in my dictionary ;-P De most funny part was tat I had to lead de ppl coming wit me..& it was none other than my partner frnd (understood!)... Started de day wit a good-day biscuit & was waiting for others to cum & pick us up.

Jst got a call from de head of our trip asking us the directions & it was me who guided them.. By dis tym, yu shud ve understood tat hw easy or tough it wud ve been for dem 2 find us... Landmark given was Mast Kalandar/Hero Honda showroom... And my bad ;-( De roads were highly deserted & de street lights were all turned off...[right dhan... yaarume illaadha kadaiku yaaruku tea aathuvaanga;-P] Gud tat dey stopped a few steps ahead of hero honda showroom by giving a wild guess & V ended up walking hardly 200 metres to reach de cab..

And thus started our trip... We hav spoken so much even before realizing tat de cab driver understands 'Tamil'. Vada poche ;-P But... wat 2 do? Past is past... Nothin cud be done... Infact, he was really gifted to hav been accompanied by the 6 most beautiful women [literally chatterboxes] in the world... lol...

Spent our journey time by playing cards... And it was almost 8 am when we crossed Mysore... Had a hard time searching for restaurants on de way... Finally, got one in Nanjangud... Had our brkfst & dint want to leav de place without saying 'Hi' to the Lord Shiva der.. Here is de history behind the temple - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjangud ... De temple was so very gud & I liked it so much.. Der was indeed an interesting belief inside de temple to check out hw many leaves in a tree r visible to us...

Headed towards Himavad Gopalswamy Betta which I would rather call as an abode of wind. Our pictures taken der wud reveal de same. But it was again an awesome place to be visited. So dis tym it was Lord Krishna who showered his blessings on us. Spent our tym enjoyin de weather over der & attempting to take pics...(though it was in vain :P) Our return from HG betta was quite interesting since v did take de bandipur road which was all de more adventurous.

So de final place of our trip was BR Hills. Lord Venkatesha happened to meet us oops its the other way around... We got to see the large pair of slippers presented to the Lord by the Local tribes and de story behind the slippers getting torn evry two yrs was nice 2 hear. We were awaiting to watch the sunset but unfortunately we couldn't. However, de place was worth visiting. 

Started bak to blore & reached A2B directly for our dinner. Nothing mre 2 say... The trip was overall enjoyable & Yes, I enjoyed it personally;-)

Got to go...(go go goaaaaaaa...) More to follow ;-) Keep waiting...;-P

A bientot! ;-)

Just Dropping By To Say Hi !!!

Can’t stop myself from posting it here… ‘Oh Taani Partner!! Never Fear, Raj is here’.. Nothing has changed with Raj rit 4m DDLJ til RNBDJ ;-)

RNBDJ -  Started liking de movie lately which I once hated de most!!! And dis is one of de best songs ever 4m de movie…  

(Female Version)

Na Kuch Poocha, Na Kuch Maanga

Tune Dil se Diya Jo Diya

Na Kuch Bola, Na Kuch Tola

Muskura Ke Diya Jo Diya

Tu Hi Dhoop, Tu Hi Chau

Tu Hi Apna Paraya

Aur Kuch Na Janu, Bas Itna Hi Janu

Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu

Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu

Sajdhe sar jukhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu

Rab Ne.. Bana Di Jodiiii…..

(Male Version)

Tu hi toh jannat meri, Tu hi mera junoon
Tu hi to mannat meri, Tu hi rooh ka sukoon
Tu hi aakhion ki thandak, tu hi dil ki hai dastak
Aur kuch na janu mein, bas itna hi jaanu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Sajdhe sar jukhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu

Ohhhh hoooo ohh….

Kaisi hai yeh doori, kaisi majboori
Meine nazron se tujhe choo liya
Oh ho ho Kabhi teri khusboo
Kabhi teri baatein
Bin mange yeh jahan pa liya
Tu hi dil ki hai raunak,
Tu hi janmo ki daulat
Aur kuch na janoo
Bas itna hi janoo
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu

Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Sajdhe sar jukhta hai
Yaara mein kya karuo
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karuo

Vasdi vasdi vasdi, dil di dil vich vasdi
Nasdi nasdi nasdi, dil ro ve te nasdi
Rab Ne… Bana Di Jodi…..haiiiiii
Vasdi vasdi vasdi, dil di dil vich vasdi
Nasdi nasdi nasdi, dil ro ve te nasdi

Cham cham aaye, mujhe tarsaye
Tera saaya ched ke chumta
Oh ho ho… tu jo muskaye
Tu jo sharmaye
Jaise mera hai khuda jhumta
Tu hi meri hai barkat, tu hi meri ibadat
Aur kuch na janu, bas itna hi janu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Sajdhe sar jukhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu

Vasdi vasdi vasdi, dil di dil vich vasdi
Nasdi nasdi nasdi, dil ro ve te nasdi
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.. haiiiiii

In recent years, Listening to songs and singing along has b’com more of a passion rather than a hobby! Keep listening to songs & yu wud soon feel tat evry song has an emotion & a lyf of its own… Der r songs which make yu listen to it over & over again no matter hw much ever  yu ve listened to it in de past. Der r few mre which take yu to a different world wen yu listen to it and make yu get goosebumps.  I do hav a perfect blend of all my fav Genres in my playlist. Never try 2 get de meaning out of the song,  jst listen to de beat & enjoy. As dey say, it was once upon a tym, long long ago, so long ago wen lyricists came up with the Song like 'மலர்ந்தும் மலராத பாதி மலர் போல மலரும் விழிவண்ணமே - வந்து விடியும் விடியாத காலைப் பொழுதாக விடிந்த கலையன்னமே ', which had solid meaning in it. Nw a days, Yu cud hardly find songs lik tat. Der has been a drastic change in de trend and der s no doubt tat music wud continue to make further strides in the upcoming years.  In fact, de songs lik ‘Sheila ki Jawaani’ & ‘Chikni Chameli’ wud make yu feel lik yu r dancing even wen yu r not on de floor. Alwys listen 2 de music tat best suits yr mood, tat soothes yr mind & no wonder yu wud den say ‘I Feel Up!!!’.  

#Way too obsessed wit Music!!! ;-P

अच्छा फिर मिलेंगे …Until den its yr Nivi signing off… …अपना ख्याल रखना;-)

Questions tat go unanswered!!!

‘Why?!’…. Not many lik dis when being asked by others for anything tat matters, though it happens to be a natural tendency for all of us to pose dis ‘why?!’ wen sum1 says sumthn … Sumwhr v r huntin for an explanation or reason… And definitely v do seek for some convincing explanation and reason… Hav alwys given a bit of rethought as why shudn’t I pose it to myself b4 sum1 else does…! Tried doin it 2dy but ended up wit….. Wooooooooh read it further…………..(Ans: ‘Simply’ is not acceptable -- de crucial rule being imposed)

           1)  Ques:    Color yu like?

     Nivi:       Black (No doubt abt it)

     Ques:    Why?

     Nivi:       ?????    <Cornered>

2)  Ques:    Favorite Food/Snack?

                 Nivi:       Noodles (As Alwys)

                 Ques:    Why?

                 Nivi:       ?????   <Yet Again?>

            3)  Ques:    Lucky Number?

                 Nivi:       Any odd number!! <Partiality is mre towards 1 & 3…;-P>

                 Ques:    Why?

                 Nivi:       ?????    <Why is it alwys me?!;-( Hmmmmm….;-P)

Pretty sure tat de questions never end… So planning to conclude here else I would be de bait today;-P…. Moral of de story: ‘Asking questions is very easy but anwerin them is really tough  & even mre tougher is to answr in such a way tat de answr is convincing for the one who asked de question…’ (Faced mostly in de Viva sessions...) Anywys Got sumthn outta dis post...? Nope?!.... Yes?!  Never mind!!! It’s been more than 2 months since I scribbled some 'blah..blah...' here… Doesn’t luk Gud rite..?! haha…. Tats y came up wit dis surprise cum smallest post ever in my blog;-P

Bgm: Why dis kolaveri?!

 <Dpi lolz continues...> 

1st venture of de Passionate Explorerzzzzzzz!!!

Never thot tat lyf wud be too scheduled tat I dint find tym to scribble my experience abt the exquisite trip that we 8 had recently gone. Wow, what an excellent trip it was!!! 

We really had de best of our tym in Kushalnagar, Karnataka. Yup, der r quite a many good tourist spots in & around Karnataka. Gud tat I realized it vry sooooon… It was on Jan 7^th… Started our journey by Mysore Express early in de mrng 4m blore. Hope evry1 remembrs de pleasant blessings tat v got for our so-silent chit-chat, from a gal who was busy slping….hehe!!! ‘She wasn’t tat lucky 2 join our chat’ was de spirit tat made us carry on wit our trip. (lolz…) Reached mysore wit de brighter sun welcoming us… Couldn’t resist from taking snaps in front of tat model TRAIN… It was an unfair deed whr yu all played wit me by making me board an auto all alone & waved yr hands…;-( Nan paavam illa?!;-P It was hardly 8 steps that auto moved forward, though!!! Ah here comes our luxury-bus travel from Mysore to Kushalnagar… Snacks wit Dumb charades… yeah,it was an extra-ordinary combination… Juz luved it… Had de movies DB in my team, which was again a greater plus… Yu name any movie, the DB knows it… (Spl Kudos to her!!!) One cud cum across de outstanding scenic beauty on de way 4m from Mysore to Kushalnagar.

Our first visit in Kushalnagar was to ‘Dubare’ river rafting camp. Thousands and thousands of questions that I had been posing to my frnds jst flew away wen I actually saw de place. My inner conscience prompted me not to fear to take up tat amazing ride. Yes, it was absolutely true!!! Though I didn’t raft, I had a gud tym spectating tat. Unfortunately Camera was my othr companion… Yes, I was learning the art of photography juz bcoz othrs had no othr go instead of handing over it to me. But den de truth was that the snaps taken by our helper(de one who was assisting us in our rafting) were far better than mine;-P (Appreciation needed here…Not for him but for me for agreeing the truth;-P) The place whr v actually halted in de middle of the river was indeed the perfect one. Literally speaking, I lived my lyf…Tym 2 agree tat der s truth behind Hrithik’s tears wen he was taken to underwater by Katrina Kaif in ZNMD. Sumhw v wer convinced 2 return bak whr v got 2 see pearl-beauty wit puneeth (Sry she doesn’t deserve it… Its fine coz she managed 2 say ‘hi’ in return, seeing us). The river had mesmerized us for sure, coz v did spend some mre tym in de water even after returning bak 4m river rafting. V had our lunch in de nearby hotel and continued our trip. Nxt comes de jeep journey on de way bak 4m Dubare forest to Nisargadhama. De journey was nther fantastic one whr v enjoyed singing Kolaveri & songs from Mankatha;-) Nd remember de car tat was chasing us?! V atlast felt pity & left dem b4 us;-P

Memories forever!!!

Kaveri Nisargadhama is nthr gud spot… De long hanging bridge was little scary but our photo shoots continued even der… 1^st tym I hav seen so many big sry bigger fishes in de river… It was a vry cooler place and again v had too much affinity towards tat Kaveri water. Spent sum tym playin in tat river , de swing over der…Nd worth 2 mention de monkey deeds tat v wer doin by climbin up de tree for snaps… Hot chilli bajji was de exact snack for de exact climate & place. Added to tat was de delicious potato bajji…I still do remember de way v relished those;-) And few of us proved tat v wer shopaholic…Started purchasing anythn & evrythn whichever grabbed our eyes, aftr having de so-gud nariyal (tender coconut) over der…

Finally v left Nisargadhama and visited de most-awaited place – The Golden temple, Bylakuppe. It was around 6pm when we reached der… V had to regret a bit since it was too dark and der was no charge in de camera batteries too;-( But still v sumhw managed 2 capture de real artistic wrk using our cameras in mobile phones. The place was exceptionally gud…It was gr8 2 see the tibetan ppl & their culture… V r stil discovering the ppl who wer on the either sides of Buddha!! V wer so eager in watching their prayers but den it wasn’t taking place the day v had been der. However the kids over der wer so swt…Dey weren’t reluctant to take photos wit any of de outsiders… But dey hardly spoke!!! Their silence was stil admirable…;-) Full-moon day was another identity of our trip to Kushalnagar;-) V never got tired of shopping…V did it even der… Atlast it was de tym 2 leav de place. Boarded de autos from der till the hotel. Had yummy dinner tat nit…De way v actually planned to eat for 2 hrs can never be forgotten… Came bak to board de bus… Waiting for our bus in tat highly deserted bus-stand was al-together an adventure. But amidst tat fearful 2 hrs, v had our own enjoyment making fun of each other;-) Finally v had to say bye to Kushalnagar & reach blore de nxt day… On de whole, de trip was a memorable one;-) Sry if it has been too draggyyyyyyy… I started putting this up here with a caution that it shouldn’t be too lengthy but couldn’t help it;-P

Awaiting 4 de nxt one;-) Explorerzzzzz yet 2 explore mre;-);-)
