I did it finally...

For a long time, I was planning to start learning Squash and finally I made it this Saturday. Thanks to Amit for dragging me to HP sports club making me wake up very very early (7:00 AM) on a Saturday morning, which is the second most difficult task for me, first difficult being sleeping before mid night.
 
Liking for this sport developed while trying to play Long tennis during my school days. Being too lazy to go to school on Sunday to play, I ended up playing against the wall at my terrace of my home. Then when I moved to my apartment with a squash court, I promised myself that I would for sure start playing squash in the near future, which did not happen for more than three years now.
 
Initially thought it would be a easy task to hit such a small squash ball, but in just five minutes I was drained out completely. If there was no inspiration around :) I would not have played for a long time (about 10 minutes :)). The other thing that surprised me was my hand at table tennis (TT). I had thought I would never be able to play TT in my whole life. But playing with Neha was quite a nice experience. On the other hand I need to practice a lot in badminton, as I am not playing as I used to play before. Well at least doing some thing after not playing much for almost three years.
 
Billiards is next...:)

Coorg Trip - The Scotland of India

After planning for a long long time, finally decided to go to Coorg and Wayanad for our first marriage anniversary. Searching through the travel logs and travel blogs gave us some idea of what was there in store for us. Thankful to Sahas for giving me the complete details of the trip. 24-12:6:30AM Started from Bangalore, took the new NICE ring road till Mysore road. After having a quick breakfast at the new Kamat uphar headed towards Srirangapatna. Took the Mysore bypass towards Hunsur. Drove from Virajpet to Gonikoppal to kakabbe. The road from Gonikoppal to kakabbe was single lane and full of potholes. 24-12:11:30AM We were booked at Misty Woods Resort. It is in such a beautiful surroundings that once you reach the resort, it takes away all the strain of the travel. They have only 12 cottages and not much of crowd. The food is also delicious, but you will have to inform them of your preferences before hand. We spent the day in the resort and later visited the Kakkabe palace and the p...

Love Letters - Play performed by Rajit Kapur

Image
I went to the Rangashankara to watch Rahul Da Cunha's version of ‘Love Letters’ . The Pulitzer award winning play written by AR Gurney, describes the romantic and poignant relationship between childhood friends Melissa Gardner (Shernaz Patel) and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III (Rajit Kapur) over fifty years. The story unfolds through the letters the two characters have written to one another. The play was first performed in 1988. Shernaz Patel is just so amazing in the way she brings the impetuous Melissa. Even at this age she has so much of charm, its a treat to watch her on stage. Her role of the child's mother in BLACK was excellent. Rajit Kapur is a versatile actor who has no boundaries and leaves me spellbound always. Watch out for some bold dialogs which are a signature of all Rajit Kapur plays. Inspired by Love Letters, Feroz Khan has directed Tumhari Amrita तुम्हारी अमृता adapted by Javed Siddqui and had Farooque Shaikh who plays the politician Syed Zulfiquar Haider and Sha...
