Bangalore Serial Bombs

Finally , I always heard BOMB blasts. Bomb blasts here , there. Mumbai serial bombs, bombs here and there, all are fine. Sitting in my infosys office, i heard news that there are bomb blasts. Three in number , then came seven , as i sit in office ..relaxing. What followed was a series of concerned calls telling about the bomb blasts in Bangalore. wow , all over the place there were a few concerned faces and few smiles. And those who seemed tense , i was there to give them more.
Well , most concerns were like the bus service , whether some more bombs are going to rock the city or is it all . How will the traffic be like. Well , will there be any traffic.
Well , lets come to my seat , getting calls from friends in US of A to those in UK. First time my cellfone was tested to limits. Bangalore network was jammed but Tata Indicom was working. Wow!!! I got calls from nearly all people who cared.
Next , in internet. Madivala had 2 bombs to the credit, and i stay at a place which is barely a KM from the place.
Concerns : This is not a bomb or people injured that i am worried, what i fear are communal riots breaking. The bombs are serialised way to attack the prospering IT industry. but the city which has faced communal riots in last couple of years it has been a concern now.
Now its 530 PM and i am going out now. To my home, let us see how is condition. For me , i will be looking out for site where there was a bomb blast on Hosur road. And as someone has mentioned not much traffic on Hosur road, and ideally should not be there.
-------------------------------------------------
Reached Home: what a journey. Raining heavily , drenched jackets and slippery roads. But was there was a blast. Was there something that was threatening. Traffic was less , you must be joking. I have not seen so much traffic in rain. Bikers were on road , fearing to make a stop. The bombs were placed in the sand it seemed. Well , i reached home in rain. Nothing unusual. Not a hint something was not correct. No sign of bomb at any instance across Hosur Road.
For me the bomb blast that rocked the entire nation were not able to rock the Bindass City Of Bangalore ....

25 Year Celebrations Preparations @ Infosys Bangalore

Have You known what is known as Majestic , magnificient , the perfectionist , if not one should have been present in Bangalore last year when Infosys Technologies celebrated 25 years of it existence in this blood sucking world. The time span it not only grew , flourished, challenged the traditions, the world and came out a winner. And when it stands on threshold of another new era , all of it wanting to be conquered by the most daring , Infy has again come up to accept the challenge. Just look at the picture below , one of the rarest pictures of the fountain area , one night before the big night. The alignment of chairs so perfect , the stage so silent like waiting for the big storm. The emptiness in this pic will soon be flooded to an extent that there will be over 15ooo people cheering infosys in its 25 years of setting up an example.
The next morning i saw the most beautifully trimmed and kept the shrubs and water so pure. Though it is same everyday like that but the day everything seemes so heart winning. Something you are tend to believe, though no natural beauty , the power man has over nature. In the pic below , nice fountains lined with palm trees sandwich between the buildings.

The view in the morning of the stage and the mystique lining of chairs in front of stage , leave a feeling like this is nothing but a quintessense of what Brand Infosys is. When it comes to something like quality or showing the might to the world , this senile quater century old company will no longer be a dessertation. It will be furor to wait out for what infosys has in store for the world.

The number of employees expected to view this extravagent celebration of a company clicking birthday was expected to pass 15k , and so any place possible had seating available , keeping in mind the fulcrum of all the arrangemnts, the look and feel of the event not be effected. The number of chairs present in morning will beluge the person when he sees the actual crowd in the evening when Sonu Nigam comes and performs to one of his best performances. Sonu Nigam's performance with videos and pics will be appearing soon here .

May Be i have missed some movies , these were i remember. Then there are his private albums which are better than the best.
His albums are Aawargi,Kailasa,Kailasa Jhoomo Re, Sufi Simplified-, Ya Rabba .
So this was Kailash Kher For you.
Now he came to infosys Audi right on time, just like a S/W engg is expected to be for an event in Infosys named as Finnacle Fever . Even after his band came and settled for placed , it took some time for the master to come out.
I have attended many concerts like this of Palash , Sukhwinder , Aryns, Sonu Nigam , KK to name a few, and i was expecting this to be better than that of sukhwinder , which was no doubt the best of them all. and he started with energy of universe in voice of youth. And all tuned in to Bham bhabham bham Bham bhabham bham bam lehri .... and then scooping it up with teri diwani ... but then he lost the tune. The music was better than the best , and Kailaasa was promoting his next album .. On one hand he talks about his concerts in UK , US and worldwide , and the hypocrate on the other hand requests you not to go abroad.
Heres how he finishes the show ...
I have a request from all infosys people , India is best (cheers from croud) ....
Kailasa : please let me finish ( in angry tone)
Crowd : Cheer once more
Kailasa : Please dont go to foreign .. let the foreigners come here . i have sincere request , please dont go to United States.
----
why is it we always will advise others to stay in India , when we ourselves with tongues out will go to US for concerts and jobs.
The show was ended with Title Track of Mangal Pandey , i would have preferred a more dance track , as we all were there for masti. If we had gone ONLY to hear himm ,and not enjoy the same , Infosys has best music systems for us to enjoy.
For the show must be rated by someone as 3/5 , but for me who had such high expectations was left with nothing to console.
i will rate it below that.

Infosys Bangalore

Every day i step out of my house to Infosys, i am greeted with loads of traffic and death defying Hosur Road, where the traffic eats the hell out of you. But then as i enter my Infosys Campus, i feel like being in warmth care of life. There is a sense of freedom, of responsibility, and above all , of security. The friends here dont change like climate, which is better than the best most of the times. The climate in bangalore is better off than in mysore and much better than in delhi. The cloud cover for 23 hours a day, a mild drizzle daily , and heavy downpour every other day may make the driving a living hell, but the climate wins over you. You are pleased in more than one easy ways to let you believe, this is best place to be in. Till now i have advocated Mysore as the best place to be, but here in bangalore .. the climate is just awsome. Here is a place which can be day and night at same time. The people having mentality of like "I love walking in rain as none sees me crying", for them also , this is the best place. Below is a set of two identiacal pics, one with Fateh ( bindass banda) and one without. Both these pics were taken within difference of seconds, and the visibilty in the latter dropped down. The picture at top is one of my favourites , the sun and clouds playing with ease and like small kids ... i win u win ...
