This one’s a shameless plug to the official one I posted on my company blog. Didn’t think it made sense to duplicate the same here, so in case you are interested, read on at http://www.kpitcummins.com/blog/autoexpo-2012-what-a-rush

Here’s our post about Bedsa caves that I had mentioned I would be putting up, in my earlier dusting off the cobwebs entry!
A few weeks ago, we had driven down from Pune towards Kamshet, and subsequently from there to Bedsa caves and Karla caves. While the road to Kamshet is pretty good, the road from there to Bedsa caves is nothing great to talk about. Quite narrow, with a lot of work going on, it wasn’t an easy road to navigate through. It is also quite possible that one will miss the turnoff for the Bedsa caves, so keep a lookout for it, and do not hesitate to ask folks for directions! Continue Reading
Yup, as you read the title, it is indeed time to blow the dust and cobwebs away from this blog of mine, and what better way than to link it to one of my all-time favorites: gaming! How many of you can recognize the game icons and the console?
The last post that I had made was way back, and since then a lot has changed!!! Starting from the blog design itself!
Additionally, we’ve moved to Pune in the State of Maharashtra in India about 2 months ago, and have now made a home for ourselves here. Have had a few visitors (human and not so human – more about that a bit later, though). Continue Reading
On the 12th of this month, we celebrated Sankranthi at the MSat Infocity office. The event saw a lot of Associates participating. Here are a couple of pictures.
Yesss….!!! It finally poured here yesterday! Hyderabad received about 16.1 mm of rainfall last evening – a much awaited phenomenon. I can tell you, the last few weeks have been not so great – with the rains pretty much playing hide and seek.
Thankfully, this will now act as a harbringer to more rain, and we will finally see the dust being washed off the streets, and some greenery around!
Holy cow!! Its close to a year since we moved back from the US, and I realised that I’ve been so caught up, that I haven’t had time to post anything here. Well, no more of that – starting this wek, be sure to look out for a bunch of updates.
Okay!! For those of you who didn’t know, we recently (a couple of weeks) moved back to Hyderabad, from the US. It was a good stint in US, and we opted to move back, closer to family.
It’s been nice here, and though the traffic patterns etc. have deterioated, it is still good to be back!!!
Expect my future posts to have more India specific content now…..
All one needs to do, is land up on the website (www.freerice.com), and then play a game, where a word is shown with 4 possible meanings. One needs to choose the correct meaning, and that’s how one progresses. For every correct answer, 20 grains of rice are donated by the sponsors at the bottom of that page.
I did a quick background check on Snopes, to see if this true or a scam, and it is true.
I would encourage you to all give this a whirl – I’ve already done about 6000 grains and will continue to go on. The advantage to you, is that you get to enhance your vocabulary which carrying out a charitable cause.
Since today is a saturday and pretty much the weekend, I have a treat for all of you. Today, insted of one photograph, we have two. This stems from the fact that Sridhar has requested me to put up some of my Black and White ones, while I already had a color snap in mind for this post.
For those who do not know, Sridhar is one of our best pals, and majorly into photography. One of his favorite photographers is Ansel Adams, whose gallery is located here.
Anyhow, these two photographs were taken at the Sunol Regional Wilderness Park, near Sunol, California. The four of us (Mayur, Purvi, Mahi and I (Ramesh)) had gone there quite a while ago.
A must visit for anyone interested in nature based photography….
This picture was taken at the Stanford University in Palo Alto, quite close to home. We had gone there for their guided tour along with parents. This particular building is called the Hoover Tower and is one of the major landmarks there.
One gets a bird’s eye view of the entire campus from the top. Of course, the flip side is that it is extremely windy at the top.
