Vroooom F1 Singapore

There are many firsts in this GP.

First  F1 night race,first Singapore race and the last, my first race:).. The devils were roaring in the circuit when I entered.  I kept saying to myself "the month long wait was finally over"..The formulas racing through my mind were simple.....want to get a glimpse of these machines asap....the urge, popping in me from a very long time..from the moment the tickets were put in my hand:)..

The night was perfect for the dark Knights to zoom through the streets....No rain :( (unfortunate for me and fortunate for drivers). And the first glance for the true Indian was a Indian team machine..Force India..Yeah beat the breaks off of that man..

The decibel level was at the acme..True Dolby stereo:D...The millions of seconds wait was over in a nanosecond.... or was it a pico sec. Whatever....The devil just zoomed past me and I still kept staring at the road with an animated face...A wow expression on my face...

Goddamn race....enjoyed the dramas that had taken place during the race. I couldn't avoid a laugh for myself seeing at the plight and luck of the Ferrari's. Its not that I hate Ferrari. I just don't like them. I just don't like the champions... You see I don't like "The Big Guys"(exclude Federer. I started loving him when Sampras was "The Guy". Fed was a dark horse at that time). True, The Ferrari's are the guys who are capable of kissing the velocity of the sound if not the speed of light.... 

On that note I give a full five for the organisers for making the event a grand success...It was picture-perfect event..I hope they don't organise any more night races. One side of the coin they waste hell lot of power and the other side they say Save Earth. Conserve Energy. Such an out of phase act...The beauty of the race is the Beast....not the lights..

Cheerio

My journey to Amazing Thailand!!!

She is amazing, marvelous, stupendous and captivating...Her sheer beauty will help you find yourself in the wonderland. Its the fantasy turned into reality. The artistic beauty turned into reality. Its the journey through space and time. The banality overruled. The blue sheet of the Indian ocean lying beneath the sunlight enthrals you. This is Thailand for you.

I didn't know enough about the beauty to recognise it at a glance..The dormant state of my mind took its own time to react to my eye impulses and to believe the marvel that stood in front of me. Slowly I found myself aahing and oohing at her!!!

The midterm break was used effectively and took off to Phuket on Saturday. A beach with a small shore will do for me, to raise my enthu level and to get pumped up. And Phuket has just this to offer me. Myriad beaches just to evoke my senses and helping me to understand the unfathomable.

Went to Phi-Phi island, James bond Island and places within the Phuket. Phi-Phi island is the amazing beach place I have ever seen. Boy, the water was absolutely pristine blue . I was freezed by its beauty. We did snorkeling there. The flora and fauna under the water has its own way of presenting the mother nature.

Not to forget the Thai food. By far the best sea food I ever had.( I am very bad at experimenting different cuisines and hate sea food). I still can't believe that I had sea food. I had become carnivorous to the core. Amazingly my boundary with never crossed chicken, seen itself encircling the lobster, crab, squid, prawn and the fish. Amazing dishes. This trip definitely thought me to explore a cuisine beyond the Indian food....

Rented a bike and later regretted. I don't understand WTF am I tormented whenever I ride a bike. A flat tyre again in my life. Aargh!!! I am sick of these punctures. Give me a break please. At least on a tour. My own bike had given enough of these. Luckily had a garage nearby. The night life and spa's are the other centers which enchants you, making your body and soul rest in peace.

On the whole an awesome trip and one of my trips I can never forget....

If you plan to go, the detailed itinerary of ours can be got here:)...Have fun...

On the day of Onam....

This post was in pipeline for many days...Its almost 1 week over since this event happened..but here I am ending up posting now...hardly finding time these days :P....OK first things first..

On this day of Onam I had my first Mallu food...ummmmm...:)  As usual had to wait because of the serpentine queues made outside the hotel on this special day...The Maître d' occasionally apologising for making us wait.

Unfortunately we had a very good view of people who already succeeded in possessing a banana leaf. Seeing them, my stomach started having hungry pangs and my hunger grew from mole to a mountain hill. 

After waiting for some more time, finally we were welcomed and  the Maître d' 's face changed from a sorry face to a welcome-to-my-palace face. The wait was worth it. I dunno whether Mallus have so many items in a  Mallu's thalli on Onam or the hotel has on its menu on that day. Whatever it may be I lliterally had 24 items on that gargantuan banana leaf!!!

The Gods own country has its own style of preparing the dishes. The first stupefy came when I was served the rice. The grain would have been 0.4cm in diameter and 0.6 cm in height..I was told that is the rice people generally eat, back in Kerala. I was dumbfounded!! But that was good..

I don't know whether the hotel stood on its word by serving the 24 items because I couldn't count and categorize the items as every item is new to me. After a long time had my lunch to the fullest....Awesome......Happy belated Onam...........

I miss the candlelights

Recently I had encountered an incident which I almost forgot after coming to Singapore. My apartment wiring was undergoing an up gradation, as a result there was an power cut for some hours.. Then I realised that there exist something called a blackout. After a long time I felt I longed for a power cut...

Who said power cuts are always cursed..? Probably they are the one who have never experienced the magic of the darkness...I can use all the superlatives to express the bandwidth of ecstasy that a blackout brings along with it..

And a blackout when you are cramming would be a awesome feeling..Initially it would start with all the swear words I know and then pleading the unknown current man( its so funny.. that's what I use to call) virtually...

Then I end up with a flicker of smile crossing my face and placating the silent theatre of my mind to take a break from burning the midnight oil. At that instance newtons law would no longer seem applicable and I can see myself flying in the air, not giving a damn for the next day exam.... I remember how I used to pester my roomies with my stimulated pumped up madness..It was such a fun to tease them with my craziness..I miss all those..

And the moment the power is restored my cloud 9 gets condensed and I get sucked into the little study-centered world enveloped by the emptiness, encapsulated with an avalanche of thoughts about the next day exam and forming a cocoon of my so called exams-don't waste-time thought...

And the bottom line, I miss the candle lights...
