Having in mind a blog depicts what on with your life, it does seem its stagnating if there are no new posts. So thought of writing a monthly leisure activities list..The one in May follows..
Movies Watched
---------------
Mission Impossible - 3, Posiedon, Da-Vinci-Code, Grandma's Boy.
Theatre
--------
Krishnan's Diary - A one man show by Jacob kept us spellbound with his great skill of playing different characters by switching masks. One just can't feel that its one person performing.
Seminar
--------
On Ming's invitatoin I have attended a introduction by landmark forum about living extraordinary lives, I was touched after hearing some of the older participants speak in how it improved their quality of life. Though its expensive enough (S$700), I have signed up for the course of 9,10,11 June.
Books
-----
Though I have been occupied with my technical books till now, I suddenly took a twist to read some non-fiction stuff...will be more regular now on..
a) Men are from mars women are from venus
Written by John Gray a relationship expert shows amazing differences in how men and women are different, the reason for conflicts arising between them and overall how a relationship can be improved between the two opposite sexes.
b) Richard Branson autobiography
Thanks to Joyce for this B'day gift, Its such a great great book about life of Richard Branson. Its inspiring to read his balloon adventures and how he has rose as a top entrepreneur in his venture for virgin group of companies.
Sports
------
Not a good news!! India lost a cricket ODI series to WestIndies, seems the team just couldn't handle pitches different from sub-continent. Its not possible to watch matches over TV here in Singapore, only way is to follow score on internet.

School Buddies
I registered myself on batchmates.com and had a reply from Pravin my classmate and friend in school. He is a psycrastrist based at Sydney at present.
Thanks to Pravin for sending the picture of class X (1988), St.Anthony's High School, Hyderabad. I had difficulty in recognising myself. Email me if you could recognise.
Pravin is the third from left, the second being Ganesh,its sad that I heard on national TV a decade back that he was murdered under mysterious circumstances in his university at Coimbatore.

Bali Trip
Joyce and I flew to Bali on labour day long weekend. The trip included site seeing on saturday and water sports on sunday. I was amazed seeing the hindu culture though seems to be of a slightly different taste from India.
Sculpture spotted over a stopover at a temple. We had to wear sarong kind of cloth (looks funny though) to enter the temple.
At Goa Guhah (Elephant Cave), the three water taps depicting the three scared indian rivers Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswathi..
These are the fallen Buddhist temple remains. Its amazing to see a hindu and buddhist temple together.
Happy looking Joyce.
Carving in the stone.
Nandi (cow which is regarded sacred Hindus) at TanahLot. We reached TanahLot to view the sunset.
Great view of sunset, was bit cloudy though.
Wondering where Iam missing, ok here Iam.
Getting ready for the diving, We were given specific instructions by the dive master and then taken to deep sea in a boat. We spend around 30 minutes under water and dived to a depth of 8meters. There was pain in ears due to pressure. Though we were tensed initially got used to it quickly and had great fun with the fish.
I had a crab like creature trying to attack my hand when I rest my hand on a rock.
It did scare the hell out of me.
FlyFish a new sport where we had to balance ourselves lying on the back and holding handles, the inflatable is tied to the boat which when sped raises high in the air above water.
At last a dream come true, was planning for a parasaling since ages and now I could do it.
