Los Angeles and Detroit

Have done some crazy travelling in the month of April. I like Lufthansa more than Singapore air. Saw a lot of potholes in the roads at Detroit;that was a surprise! As i sit staring at the San Bernadino valley from my 16'th floor seat in LA ,i am reminded of one such lazy friday afternoon a few yrs back when this blog got created. I was in downtown Sacramento then. I think coming back to the US was a never an option for me,when i left this country in 2006. Makes me think a lot.

I also visited my office in Coimbatore before i flew out to LA. The office is located at a very quiet spot in the backdrop of the western ghats. Its a nice place for a picnic . Oh yeah i saw Harold and Kumar -part 2 - not as good as the first one. I liked the bit when the FBI guys interrogate the parents , that was a laugh riot. Iron Man was super cool.

We went to Mylai mess that was opposite to the B.V.B hall for dinner. The place has hardly been renovated and maintains its old legacy even today. The menu card is also very typical of the Madras tiffin culture . I had Badam halwa , Kichadi and podi dosai for dinner. As usual I must elate... it was Yummm!!! Not the most cleanest place but yes i felt the place has preserved its soul :-).The

Covid 19 and Work from Home

Its been 4 years since I wrote a line here. 2020 has been mostly peeping out of my window in Bangalore and nothing much!  I feel the urge to change- shake it up a lot these days. The mind tells me I haven't found what I am looking for... Discovered Chris Martin and Cold play :-) Yaay! Feels like the real life starts after 40. The optimism and adventure of younger days  have given way to accepting life's realities
