Bangalore
Prime candidate for “regularising”?
On Friday we were criss crossing the Delhi Cantt area and found this “jhuggi” or “tent” colony right next to one of the MES offices. It worries me that such temporary dwelling has come up inside a cantonment area, because of security reasons. The next point is, this will soon become a “regular” settlement. The … Read more
Airport in 20 minutes ..
Yesterday Krishnan had to be in Bangalore to conduct a training session. He left by an early morning 6.20 am flight, so I went to drop him at the T3 airport. The distance from our place to the airport is about 18 kms and without traffic that takes about 30 minutes and during peak hours … Read more
When things change every minute…
We went to Bangalore on the 24th of May for a three day visit, largely to do ShikshaDaan’s work and to meet our Mango boys. (The Mango boys are back!). The first change that happened was we were to leave on the 23rd of May but for some strange reason we shifted it back by … Read more
The Mango boys are back!
We met them first in 2013 when we were in Bangalore and since then, they have become fast friends of ours.

Leaving Bangalore … Coming home
We moved out of Bangalore on the 3rd of April …. And this post will surprise a few people who thought I won’t miss a thing in Bangalore ! Yes, it was difficult for me to adjust to living in Bangalore. I love Delhi and Gurgaon … Just walking over 10000 years of history is … Read more
The fastest ride to an airport
Today morning I left home around 7.10 am and at 7.40 am I was signing the duty sheet of the driver at the Bangalore airport. A distance of 37 kms done in 30 mins. If the road between Richards Park and the Mekhri circle had been a road and not a series of potholes, we … Read more
Phew !! Finally it arrived
My debit card was to be renewed. When I got the first message that the card had been dispatched, I told Krishnan and mom to expect it soon at home, since I had updated the Bangalore address, wrong assumption. The bank account aligned to the card still had my Pizza Corner address as the office … Read more
