A Bottle of Pickle at Re.1

It’s the 21st century, yet some of the strange traditions hasn’t left us. When we visited a relative’s place, we gave them a bottle of pickle which my grandma had prepared. After we finished our two day visit at their place and about to leave, my aunt who is the host, thrust a one rupee coin in my wife’s hand.

Apparently giving pickle to family members will create enemity amongst families. So by giving one rupee, you are actually buying the stuff thus evading the bad omen. !!

Oh Boy!

I Married into a Movie Director’s Family! Wow. 🙂

I just got to know that my wife’s maternal Great Grandfather was a movie director. He has directed 10 movies in 1940s and even acted in a few of them. He may be no more but his movies continues to live on. They showed one of his movies in Raj TV last Sunday. My wife’s grandmother stayed glued to the through the entire, obviously very proud of her father.

It’s amazing how we continue to learn interesting titbits about our family.

Bangalore Marathon Bloggers Meet

Thanks to Anita Bora’s intitiative, there’s a BMBM meet happening on the second weekend of this month, coinciding with the Bangalore International Marathon. I’ve personally known quite a few guys there and look forward to touching base again. Can’t wait to meet the new folks.

It’s very heartening to see some of the Bangalore blogger folks come out to cheer and support the runners during the marathon. That’s pretty swank.

This will also be my first blog meet outside of Chennai. I’m looking at picking up a few tips for Ramya’s article for the Hindu on Blog Meets.

The No Computer, No Internet, No Blog Weekend

Gosh! Don’t remember the last time I plugged myself out completely. Can’t say it was totally enjoyable. I did miss checking my emails. We visited a relative’s place and it was totally lazing around time.

You Want To Do With Your Life

Since last evening, I’ve been highly fascinated with 43Things.com, a site which encourages you to tell the 43 things you would like to do in your life. It’s interesting and very encouraging to see other’s goals in life.

I’m a firm believer in making wishlists.. It’s important to put pen to paper and write down the goals in life. I feel its the first right step in making those wishes come true.

Ok, now back to the 43Things. I’ve compiled my own list and it was a great experience collating them. I’ve conciously made sure to only write down achievable goals and things that I’m passionate about. For a long time, I’ve been very protective and kept these wishlists to self. Now, I have no qualms in revealing them.
