Reynolds - The Bold and the Blue


How often in life can one pen change your life? In my case...there were two. I think this is a new turn my life is taking. Today for the very first time in over 2 years I actually bought not just one pen but two. This meant that I was finally able to go to my bank and deposit some cheques that were sitting with me for over 4 months. I figured last night that the only reason I was not depositing the cheques was becuase I did not want to go to the bank and borrow a pen...you know how it is...so I picked up two pens today and headed to the bank...within a minute of getting to the bank, someone came up to me and borrowed a pen from me. Now normally this would be very bugging...but...since I had two pens...I continued to fill in my forms and dropped the cheques in...Oh I just love these pens...I think I am going to call you Reynolds. Over the next few days, we shall follow the adventures of Reyolds The Bold and the Blue...

This is what they Call FOOD COURT...


The Forum Mall in Bangalore is perhaps the hippest places to be seen as a youngster not interested in spending money...BUT...ever since I moved to Bangalore theres is this one sign that amuses me...Is this guy serious...will my Paneer Tikka Roll really be taken to Court??? That is why this place is called the Food Court...hmmm...all makes sense.

Pavitra's lunch box...ohhh...so cute


You may remember Pavitra from previous episodes when she was found defacing Brother Barker's young lady friends...now catch her in action with her Lunch Box...awww...so cute...we used to call this a Tiffin Box when we were kids...Pav...get some goodies no??? CREAM BISCUITS.

Shopping with Fiona


Shopping with Fiona is always fun. We go into a shop...she tries on something...then bargains till the cows come home. In this instance however...we were in a Mall. No Bargaining...only Discounts. Now the Sari Fi is holding up is about Rs. 8000. After the 50% discount it is about 4000 bucks. Now...for me that is like 3 Levi Jeans...or like a month of Petrol for my car...or maybe a return trip to Sri Lanka. But I must admit...the Sari looks awesome...I would even say it is an investment...you see if you ever run out of money...you could pull out the silver and gold on it and sell it for petty change...
(Later in the Evening) Now Fiona called me at 11:30 in the night asking me if this is worth buying? Come on...leave your comments...SHOULD FIONA BUY THIS SARI...BECUASE HER BIRTHDAY IS WAY TO FAR AWAY...SO SHE HAS TO DO THIS ON HER OWN. HELP...SHOULD SHE????

The Magicians at the station...our geniuses from Technical


The Magic on the station happens thanks to Augustine and Mithun who ensure we have top quality 24/7 on the airwaves of the city.

I love my computer and the doggie screensaver...

In the Bosses Office



Ever so often it is nice fun to lock a colleague in the bosses office while the boss is busy on the phone. I would recommend this once a week, just before lunch break. Don't try this at home...try it in the office.

You called me FAT...how dare you?


At the radio station, you need to be careful who you call FAT? Now if you happen to say it to someone who MIGHT wanna take revenge, you WILL find your prized possession (Calendar of Exotic Women) develop mustaches and beards...

The Raghu Dixit Project on Radio City Live.


You may know him from the Purvankara Ad on the Radio...I know him from...well last year. The Raghu Dixit Project was on Radio City Live not so long ago and rocked Bangalore on a Sunday evening...here is a visual to the audible.

A water bottle...no no...thats a BRANDED BOTTLE)

Meeting Saif over the weekend.


Saif and I were born on the same day, the 30th of October in the same year in the same town...and now he is getting married...Damn I need to get my life moving in some direction.

We have known each other for over 20 years now. We studied together as kids...he is the only person in the world to whom I have ever written letters...(We were 13 then and in those days STD calls from Chennai to Ranchi were unheard of). Anyways Saif is in the Merchant Navy now. He was in Bangalore for the weekend and stayed over at my place. We talked about the good times...the bad times...and the times we cannot remember. I tricked him into getting this photograph taken...Sorry Saif...I want this blog to look natural...no edits...no poses...

Now...how do I wake Rohit at an unearthly hour???

Fluff is her name. She looks cute...and can stand on two legs if you have a piece of chicken in your hands. HOWEVER...while most people have alarm clocks...I end up waking up because of this fur ball. After a late night at the office, nothing wakes you up faster than a 6 inch dog licking you and barking into your ears threatening to go PI PI in your bed.

Residency Road

Working late in the evening on a Sunday. How do you make it fun? Well hop across the road to eat some Masala Puri and an Ice Cream with a fandoo colleague(Yes Su...talking about you)...then on the way back use the footbridge...click a photo and BLOG IT!!!

Radio City Live CONCERT


The Radio City Live Concert at the Palace Grounds in Bangalore in the month of March. This is what Parikrama looked like from backstage. The whole activity was the most fun I have had ever on Radio. The brand new show that I host every Sunday Night on Radio City 91FM - RADIO CITY LIVE featured some of the best bands from Bangalore. We then went through a voting process that saw the city of Bangalore voting for its favourite bands. The top three bands then performed at the Palace Grounds in what can only be described as "The Best Stage in Town."
