Farewell Michael Schumacher

The Roar, the Power, the Team-Tactics, the Tire-Team partnerships. All of them have been showing their magic in Formula 1, since long. While Schumacher's Rivals are quitely looking the German walk off. I, like some others here (may be), feel that it could have been a year or some more before he took this decision.

As the name suggests, Formula 1, the no. 1 formula for a Car and it's Engine, on Earth at those restrictions and regulations, put forth by the F1 community, is not just about the machine, its about so many things. The Proper tuning of the car for the track, the Tires Selections, etc., Keep the Combination right, and the driver is inside the Podium.

Schumi, has been, undoubtedly an outstanding F1 driver. His 90 F1 Race wins, 7 World Titles and records of fastest laps are not to be just mentioned. They are well understood. There's something special in Schumi-Driving, however!. The Shortest Curves, the highest speeds at longest lines, and ofcourse, an Undivided Focus to "Driving". Naw!!! I know.. it's Michael Schumacher.

The World has seen many drivers, F1 drivers. But, this German fellow has something special.

Hats off to you Michael, we'll always miss you.

Finally.. Munna Bhai!

Although I am Late to post on this topic. And most of you, might have already gone through posts on various blogs on this topic, I would still like to speak my mind on Lage Raho Munna Bhai.

After a long long wait, I got to see it with my full family. That was not the best part, the best was my dad who doesn't like the Mumbaiyya Accent (Local Language of Mumbai), too liked it. And he got glued to the Chair I'd rooted myself into. hahhahahaahaaaaaaa!


It's the Movie with a difference, with the essence of Mahatma Gandhi blended into it.

My Rating: 9/10
Ask why not 10? That's because, I like many movies, what sin they've commited to not get full marks? Hee heeee heeeee.

I guess, the movie's way of making a love story (Common in most of Bollywood Movies) different by making it interesting at the other parts of the movie (when they're not together), is what attracts the most out of me. It's so colorful, Munna Bhai is back with his crazy ability to make every moment, but Gandhigiri, this time!.

Must Watch, if you wanna learn a bit about Mahatma Gandhi.

My First Full Dish

Today I Made my first ever South Indian dish called "Phaddu" right from Scratch. I tried looking for a photograph of it on the Internet, but, all in vain. So Sorry folks, I can't show you how it looks. :(

So sad, this wonderful dish flavoured with a paste (Chutni) of Mint Leaves (Pudina) which is energized with Green Chillies, Tomatoes and Sugar, to make it that special HOT, is not so famous on the internet :( I guess, I will have to click it all by myself. :-/

Yeaaaaahooooooo I don't have to worry about my wife being dumb! ;)

I can survive. :D

The Ride to Muktimath - Glimpse 2

Have a Look at this Chain. What do you notice? Let me tell you, (if you are not knowing about these kind of artwork) one small mistake costs the job for the carver involved. As that mistake while it's been created, breaks the entire chain!

The Ride to Muktimath

Recently had been to an Auspicious place, 26km from my house. Took my 2-wheeler out with mom sitting at the back. Cruising down the concrete highway, we reached there in approximately 30 mins. Which was quite fast, I guess. Thanks to the lazy Sunday roads of my town. :D

The Place is Muktimath. Now, please don't ask the name of the Swamiji for whom that "math" has been spiritualised, as I couldn't remember his name, it's not that I am ignorant, but, it's really a difficult name, will ask my parents and surely let you know, if at all you are interested. I was mainly interested in a Cruising ride to the much disputed Karnataka-Maharashtra Border, had heard a lot about the sexy roads there, which is absent inside my town :D (Belgaum, also popular for it's hopeless roads).

Could capture few snaps of that place, sharing one here.



This man is the Gardener of this place, who's so indulged in his work that he din't want to distract himself off, by looking at the camera, and making my shot a non-candid. Well, you may wonder this shot is candid, but, it isn't by the definition atleast! It just looks to be. The old man knows, I was there!
