Saturday evening, we watched a movie @ fun cinemas. Movie was quite nice and we enjoyed it. Its called sex and the city, its a story of four girl friends in new York, the movie is extension of the popular HBO serial by the same name. After the movie we ate dinner in a very good restaurant called Infintea. Its one of our favorite places to go and their service as well the good, is quite amazing. Specialty is the amazing variety of teas they serve (yeah they have a separate tea menu), along with nice European food. We ordered ordered one rice dish (yummy) , one hot nimbu chai and one chilled chilli chai ( it really has chills and tasted bitter and chilled - I luv it ). They also sell gourmet teas here, worth checking out.. A very nice and relaxed Saturday evening and followed by another relaxed evening on Sunday by  visiting our favorite saloon spratt studio on Sunday evening. I did a cut and a head message....wow it is really relaxing. G Go check them out (they are on the Magrath road on left side, before garuda mall on the right side)

I am right now watching "halla bol" at fun republic, bangalore. Movie seems to be fine but before coming in i experinced torture at the hands of employees of the multiplex. We decided around 1130 to watch a movie at Fun Republic bangalore, went online booked the tickets, paid 660 - 600 ticket price end 60 convience charges. Now what exactly is this convenience? You dont have to stand in the queue at the multiplex. But when we reached the mutliplex we were in for rude surprises. The guys at the ticket counter told us to stand in the regular queue!!! Now what was that? i told him that we have booked the ticked online and hence you just give us the ticket, if i a have to stand in the queue what is point of buying online. He told me that online you can choose ur own seats thats it but when u come to multiplex u have to stand in the queue. I told him i always book online and there should be no need to stand into the queue. But despite of this we and few other customers who had also booked online were made to wait and treated rudely. When we asked to speak to the manager the same guy who asked us to get into queue is the manager and he told us he is too busy right now to even to talk to us. what do these guys think? Customers are fools and deserve to be treated in such an insensitive manner. What do you think?

Akhila writes a very touching and though provoking post An ode to the trees of Bengaluru It provoked me to write about Bangalore and its unlimited limitations when it comes to roads and other infrastructure. Its sad the people in the govt/administration who have the responsibility, power and money to maintain and develop the city 's infrastructure dont add any value what so ever. In fact in most cases they are busy derailing the projects and initiatives in progress, popular example is Bangalore-Mysore NICE project, which has been attacked to no end by the Gowda family. But when I think about the same subject in context of Delhi NCR, I feel extremely proud of what has been achieved during the last decade and what is being achieved even now day after day. The most inspirational part of Delhi's story is the Delhi Metro , the team has build a world class Metro infrastructure and at an amazing pace. Delhi has shown way to the country that yes it is possible to achieve big infrastructure wins in India and it can be done in an economically viable , ecofriendly, people friendly way. We have all the capability, the knowledge and the money for it - it take political will and a committed and capable leader like E Sridharan (the Metro man) and we can move mountains. As we all know there is no dearth of "capable leaders" in our country, what we dearly lack is the political will? Now its upto us "the citizens of India" to do what ever it takes to create this political will and pressurize our political and administrative people, so write a blog, send a letter to editor, visit your councilor, MLA, MP, sign a petition and make it possible in your city/state/country. It hurts and frustrates me to see "Namma Metro" project on MG road in a virtual stand still, where as the great Delhi Metro is moving leaps and bounds, every time I go to delhi I see amazing amount of progress done...
