Have you heard these lines somewhere?? Well these are from Radio One Bangalore. Very similar ones for Chennaites would be Mokka Macchan of Radio Mirchi. Though I'm not a regular radio listener, my travel time pass is always Radio One or Radio City. One reason they play many Hindi songs, second they know other ways of entertaining the people.
Take this Radio ONE ka "Live in Bangalore with Rajni Sir", a teaser kind of short program comes for max of a minute where someone mimic as Rajni got caught in some kind of trouble and how he solved it in his style. I wonder how else they can exploit his style & mannerism. Rather than touching upon the usual things, they tried to make it simple & funny.
Similar one is Chamrajpet Charles. The style and the way of presentation was really good. They come up with some really stupid & peppy idea and start mimic it in a comical way.
Radio City on the other hand gives cool & nice songs without sometime even breaks. They have good concepts on which their RJs work and the output is also commendable. Radio Mirchi, though they are in Bangalore for quite long time, I couldn't find much competitive to others. Not even to the Chennai Radio Mirchi. Rather S FM (our Suryan FM), Fever 104 etc., are doing good job in this space.
If you happens to be in bangalore, just hear a few of them . You'll love it!

Break @ Mysore
Last weekend went to Mysore to meet my friend Arun. He was barging me every weekend to come to mysore.. Eventhough I was not in a mood to go, due to his continous efforts :) I started on the later half of saturday.
It was't much difficult to catch a Mysore bus from KGBS as services are categorised very well. These buggers drive a A/C Airavath bus to Mysore (3 hrs journey) at a cost of Rs.180. Quite surprising but we had a heavy rush to it. I found a govt company's understanding of customer surprising. Either ways, I'm not so wealthy or generous to shell out 200 bucks for 3 hr journey, so took Rajahamsa for Rs.120 ( except A/C & Water bottle everything was pretty much okay)
The bus stopped near a place called Madur. This place was very famous for its Vada (Madur Vada). I use to have 2 vadas for Rs.5, four years back during my Project Work @ Tumkur. Now the rates are changed to one vada for Rs.5 . But not bad the taste remains the same. Bought a few vadas for my friend too (Tamilar panpadu, should not go empty handed)
Reached Mysore at 6pm. And went to his home straight. The next day planned to go Chamundi hills early morning so that we can have a nice sun rise experience at Hill. But as usual we lazy buggers got up at 8am. Rushed by taking bath and went straight up the hill in 30 mins by his bike.
Mannn! riding a bike on those roads was really good. Unlike other hills, Chamudi has a relatively (or no) hair pin bends making you very comfortable for travel. Moreover the roads are wide enough for two bus to travel at a time in opposite direction.
Went first to the temple and found to be very crowded. Cursed our luck took a spl darshan ticket for Rs.20 each and wet inside the temple. The architecture of temple was excellent. I concentrated much on Devi outside rather than one inside the temple ;)
Then came down and went to Infosys campus where my friend works... Neat & Nice campus. To be honest I haven't seen any campus of that much huge area in the recent past. Right from Football court to Cricket practise net to Salon shop to Departmental store everything was built up inside and they are very well maintained too. But for a strength of 12K people that campus seems to be tooo big. Anyways looking at the growth of Infy over the past 2 years, they justify the need & neccesity to have such campus.
Then after Lunch at campus ( Pathetic Chicken Biriyani :( ), we came back to room as there was no other place to roam around or not interested to being a dry area on sunday afternoon ( Should ask NRM to stop those bloody shows in their multiplex on sunday afternoon)
Evening we went to Palace. It was another awesome place with full of lights on them. Palace was really glittering making the whole surrounding a paradise. Alas it lasted only for 1 hours as the palace was closed at 8pm. Came back to room and slept early as I've planned to catch the bus next day morning.
Somehow got the bus for Bangalore. Being Monday morning , people where racig to their office. Surprisingly my company gave a off for Janmashtami :)

Marriage Hiccups
First thing first...
Congrats to my friend Sanju Baba for his "new" marriage life. Wishing him a long & prosperous married life.
After a long time, thought of writing something very serious in this blog. Don't know whether its apt for me to discuss here, but if someone can give me a few idea how to solve the problem, I would be greatfull to them.
I have a friend, who was in love with a gal for about 4 years. Both belonged to different caste and you don't need any other reason to tear them apart. That gal was very crazy on him , but doesn't want to go against her father. So as usual(unlike our tamil cinema) in regular family, she tied knot with someone else, who damn know about her past love.
Problem is she couldn't forget this idiot and she wants him to take her somewhere from her husband. Though he is equally mad, somehow GYAN from friends like me and others hold him till now from taking any stupid steps.
Finally one fine day ( exactly 67 days of marriage) husband came to know about the affair and started thinking in a way usual husband would do. No one can blame the hubby as he have to keep up his family reputation. He is in a dillemma whether to keep her with him, inspite of knowing that she is not faithfull to him and have a fear she would fled away with my friend anytime.
What should we do in this case. I'm quite confused with the gal & my friend. Though their love is pure, we ca admit them after marriage. Its better to be away from the gal and help the guy to lead a peaceful life.
