Started off with a lazy morning on saturday, somehow wanted to eat akki rotti.. So, made hurgadle chutney and akki rotti for the first time :D .. Believe me it was yummy and my roommates are still alive :) Watched T N Seetharam's "Matadhana", quite old movie, but really well directed and good story. In the night again, felt like eating poori-sagu, did a google and found out how to make sagu, but it turned out to be "some" veggie dish as i forgot to add green chillies in the mixie and tried to supplement with red chilli powder, however it was nice and we "did" have poori-sabji (not sagu :))
Sunday, Pavan dragged me to golf practice where he goes regularly. He taught me how to hold the golf club and the swing etc. Again this is the first time :D.. I tried hard and hard, all I could manage was square drive, off dirve, on drive, instead of straight drive. I could get few straight drives, but the ball was not going further.. it was just going higher and higher... at the end of the pratice, pavan told me "you are doing good", it seems the club I used is supposedly used to hit the ball high and short distance and I was tring to hit it as far as possible :D After the practice, we grabbed something and started off to the most heard of "17 mile drive" to pebble beach. There are two routes for the pebble beach, one is the Hwy 1 and the other is Hwy 1 + the 17-mile drive. It is really the most amazing drive, sea on one side, resorts, golf clubs on the other side. The villas or Mansions or whatever it is called.. wow.. no words to describe them.. I think those are some "summer vacation houses" of some hollywood stars and billionaries. As usual it was a treat for me to click snaps.. So did I, and here is one of them... this is called the ghost tree!! Only sad part is we missed the sunset as we were at the end of the drive and both of us were too tired to turn around...

lol, nijavagloo? or was it a sarcastic take on the comments? wish all your other buddies have this healthy 'sense of humor' (especially sandhya and anu).
w_u
sad but true, just like common sense, 'healthy' sense of humour is not so common!
And that rhyme is
"rotti angadi kittappa, nanagondu rotti thatappa,
putaani rotti, kempage suttu, angailittu tharappa"
w_u: hey.. no..not sarcastic.. promise :D
humble reeeequest to anu to allow annonymouse comments on her bloggie site. am too lazy to register an id and am known to be perpetual and prmoscious forgetter of the passwords.
hey, thanks for the correct songie. have you ever wondered -- why do men forget all those nursery rhymes and we have our attention towards the cars, bikes, sports, money, girls and all? wnd the wimmen do remember those nursery rhymes. intersting thingy to think bout.
arun, atta boi, sorry for the delay in poori and aloo subji recipe. i have not eaten any proper food these days and my mind is not working too well.

Thanks Sandhya, I was thinking black would be best background for snaps.. and since most of my posts have a snap... :D
Let the cat be out of the hat.
Those who can not write properly, will add snaps in their blogs, and fill it up. This blog is a breathing living demonstration of that.

Ok, this is not exactly a blog, this is a mix of blog and phlog. So what?
Hey arun i like ur blog man.
i think ur pics are cool too.
Words are just a means of communication. Imp thing is to understand what is being communicated.
Flowery/bombastic words dont make much of an impression. They just show that a guy is trying too hard to impress and how much effort he put for his GRE/ CAT..
What i like about u style of writing is the feeling/ emotions u convey. It Rocks.
‘A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words’. That way u speak a lot.
;)
Let us face it.
The only words he writes are his photo captions.
