Awakening

My body starts to droop and withdraws into a shell of lethargy, laziness and slumber when I am in-disciplined . Finally after the 4 week lag, I am back gradually to the routines I like. This time, it will carry on and on. Shot before 6 AM in Sankey sometime during the start of 2011.

IISc

The majestic IISc main building, housed in the 400+ acres Island of Greenery in the heart of Bangalore is no less compared to any of the world famous education institutes like the Stanford University (which I have seen first hand)



The statue of the founder Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata is installed in front of the building.

The Last Holy Bike Ride !!

6 AM Friday start on a cold foggy December morning - Helmets, sweaters, backpack, music and my Horse - Two ghastly accidents, one of which killing two on the spot - An excruciating but satisfying climb of the seven hills after the 7 hour backbreaking ride - Seven ascents on the bike in the 3 motorbiking rides to the lord in the last 6 years - An unconventional breather to sign of the year.
