The FIFA World Cup is over and the only thing that people will remember about the event in years to come will be the brilliance of the person who appears in the picture above and his amazing head butt... The rise from tired mediocre to godly brilliance of the frenchman to his last infamous act of violence... he will be remembered as the one of the greatest!!

By the way... to have a funnier perpective on the incident, check out the website given below to headbutt as many materazzi as possible !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Manipal- dream zone


Dreaming about the best place I have lived in till now. The place any one will fall in love with. Till now, I have not come across a single soul who does not like manipal. and what is there not to like. Freedom... relaxed and fun loving culture, amaxing women and amazing parties with some of the best rock lovers in India. you want beaches , you got it, you want mountains and valleys you got it, you want endless roads for long drives, pub which does not shut. a place without a sniff of politics, this is the place, i remember during the Rajkumar kidnapping, whole of Karnataka was under curfew, and we ddnt even know what was happening. life was cool.

Check out the video made by the KMC students, the Basketball court that they show in the video was my courtyard for two years. and the restaurant where the guy leaves the girl is Dollops, the major hangout place for everyone in manipal, there was a dvd theaternext to it...... the beach is Kaup beach.. its funny, the name is pronounced as Kapu, but it is a beautiful beach with a shack where u can have a cold beer and chill on the rocks :) ah manipal how I miss u...

Happy B day deepti!!!!!!!




Deepti --- the irrepressible force, the awesome energy zone, born today with a lightning smile, the docs must have sued her parents for causing temporary blindness!! A bundle of energy, wishing her the best in succeeding to touch the skies, (you get what I mean, don’t you deepti?) Try until you succeed. Life does not meant anything if you don’t dream, cause dreams are the path to reality.

Deepti, I never ever advertise other's blogs in my blog. But today for you, I honor the day in your name and present the blog mentioned below with my favorite two buddys. Hope they bring a smile on you every minute of everyday…

Back in Bangalore after an amazing vacation at home. Feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

I reached kerala on the 20th April, slept the whole day and hogged on mom’s food.
Next day the bubby gang arrived... Ok some introductions for people who don’t know the bubby gang.

Deepti A.K.A Deeps: She was my Brother Shane’s colleague in ICICI OneSource. Good pals with her even though she would proclaim to be my best friend.. Which she aint!!!! A person subject to mood swings… but usually on the brighter side of life.

Aditi A.K.A Adi : Deepti’s kid sister. A nut head. But a lovable nuthead.

Rashmi A.K.A Rash: Got to know her through Deepti. Deepti’s best friend. Impish.

My dad woke me up at 5:00 am in the morning…would ya believe that!! 5 in the morning... Got ready and went to pick up the brats. I drove the car!!! Reached the bus stop around one hour early and did a bout of brisk walking an finally the girls turn up. They have come to attend the wedding of my Brother’s close friend Suchi’s wedding which was on the same day.

Came home and lazed around until breakfast was ready and a delicious breakfast it was… steaming Puttu with Egg stew.

Bubby gang arrives:

Like I said before, my home is my paradise, so thought I would show some snaps of my house.. At least some parts of it..

Home:

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sunith_shyam/album?.dir=/10c9scd



We then decided to go and check out the beach… Payyambalam beach.. its in my own back yard… hehe ..almost. Took some nice snaps on the way… I like the shot of the banyan tree and the one of the stork and the calf, real cute..

One we reached the beach, went berserk and hit the waves like crazy!! Been a long long while since I played in sea almost a year and it was really nice to chill out in the water in the sultry heat.

Payyambalam beach day one:

Came back to get ready to go to the wedding.. Every one turned up sparkling. Time to bring out the camera to capture some amazing poses..But the show belonged to the bride and groom without a doubt, they looked made for each other:

Marriage:

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/sunith_shyam/album?.dir=/4704scd



Came back from the marriage and slept for a while.. then got up to have tea and chitchat on the veranda overlooking our backyard. After a while we decided to go to baby beach. As the name suggests the beach is a baby compared to Payyambalam beach. But its isolated and peaceful. We couldn’t spend much time over there, but once again we got some beautiful snaps over there. On the way to Baby beach there is a portion of the road which juts out to the ocean where you can see the light house and the waves dashing against the rocks. A really amazing place. We encountered a bug and a cat on the way. The bug was a little shy, so I had to use the flash to bring out the beauty of its colorful persona. The feline was in a friendlier mood and gave a regal posture.

Again we rushed back and got ready for the reception. The Biryani was good, not in the “greatest” category but, real good. Malabar biryani is always good. We then dropped into the summer fair at the nearby police grounds. The bike daredevils were jaw dropping, you need to see it to believe it. I shot a video of the stunts, will try to post it here later:

Reception:

The next day was wasted doing absolutely nothing… In the evening we dragged our lazy bones to the beach to see the sunset and have a nice dip in the ocean and dip we did !!!!

Sunset in gods own country:

The rest of the days were spend on a more relaxed pace..will talk about it next time...

I missed my brother a lot, he is as much a part of my home as any other.. and being at suchi's marriage reminded me of him even more.... thats all i can get senti about..

PS: era, the calvin and hobbes site is working now

Au revoir



Me off to the land of the sun,sand, surf and er...coconut shells..ya,ya it should have been babes instead of coconuts,but hey, its god's own country :)... to put up my legs and watch the beautiful sunsets with a pinacolada in one hand and a chicken lollypop in the other. An ideal day on my holiday will look something like below:
zzzzzzz.....eat, tv, eat ..sleep/tv,..eat....beach/walk along the cliffside.... TV...eat..sleep :)


My home is the quitest place I have been in.. the silence you dwell in, relaxes and stimulate your senses ie. if you are not watching tv all the while hehe... sometimes we sit in the house and listen to the vehicles that motor across half a mile away and try to guess which vehicle it is ... is it a maruti 800, is it an ambi? is it a bullock cart ? hehe ok that was a joke..a poor one at that too.

Well, me off to homeland. do not fret too much... i will be back :)

A very happy vishu to all and sundry. May the new year bestow on you peace, prosperity, astuteness and ingenuity. This great day signifies a new beginning for our dreams and desires. A day of hope and anticipation for a better existence . Its not a time for sneers and cynical outlooks. Ok, sermonizing has never been a strong weapon in my verbal pursuits and I would conclude my festive greeting here once and for all … ie. until next year. grin.
There is one new game site with the CUTEST games alive… an I mean the cutest… check it out under the "games" heading --> cutest games I have seen… that’s all for now folks.. be merry, I’ll be back for Easter.

I dont publish lyrics here that often , cause the songs nowadays just dont have that zing in them, that X factor which makes u want to listen to the song in total silence so that you can hear every word the artist sings, not just hear, feel the words. This is one song that I enjoy listening to, for the simplicity and depth in meaning, an the melancholy voice..

Life house- breathing

I'm finding my way back to sanity, again
Though I don't really know what
I am gonna do when I get there
Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back in the arms of grace
I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be
I am looking past the shadows
Of my mind into the truth and
I'm trying to identify
The voices in my head
God, which one's you?
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel
And break these calluses off me
One more time
'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside heavens door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be
I don't want a thing from you
Bet you're tired of me waiting
For the scraps to fall Off your table to the ground
I just want be here now

Hurray!




In my humble opinion its the greatest comic strip in the word! A Website dedicated to two of the craziest creatures on the face of the imagination. I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank Jaice Thomas for her invaluable contribution in creating this post and making it wat it is today!

The last few weeks were a blur of motions and emotions, negotiations and distractions, sleep and insomnia, heat and err….endless heat. . God! ze weather !!
A few more links to pass the time… my fav is the Nat Geo images. I read something in the morning that caught my fascination, thus I thought I would share it here.

“I think that the surest sign that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is that they have not tried contacting us” - Calvin.

By the way, I am informed that I am too much to handle …. Era, I ain ’t smiling, am grinning from ear to ear…

Man O man Ain't Deepti the smart one.... I guess we all need to sit down for a class with the All-mighty mademoiselle to learn to distinguish the nuances of verbal velocity. Ha… deeps, chill madi…. Right now am listening to "because of you" by Kelly Clarkson, Real good song.. It is said that the song is based on her relationship with her father and her childhood.. the song is passionate and resonates with her emotional fervor. She also is damn cute to look at. ;-) Here is the link for her song!!..... I hope u guys like it!!!!!!!!!
