Bowl Baby Bowl !!!

Well ...a million thanks to Omniscient for this event.

My comp organized the "Bowling Competition" to improve its employees physical activities as they saw them gaining so much weight possibly :P
When i first heard of it, thought atleast i could left the ball or not ... but I didn't know that i play Bowling so well (atleast within the present crowd :P).

Played for the first time and i tell you, when you are doing good and the crowd is with you, you get charged up and full ON. Was completely enjoying bowling (after all its too long time i played some sport) and at same time was full on as i was scoring good to win the competition. Here goes the Winners trophy.


There were 3 Rounds. First is knock-out round were i scored 129 points (the highest score in first round) and then Semi-finals where i scored 80 points and then the Finals where my score is 117. And atlast, we won the competition. We just won by 2 points and thats really was a tuff competition. Well i don't want to be so flaunted and selfish now :). Definitely without my team-members its not possible to win the Winners title.


Wheew ... oh don't ask whatz the side-effect after playing. Couldn't lift up my hand man :D .But still, its worth the pain.

Book Marks - Best from the Waste

Love to show off few "Book Marks" i have created (though i read any books hardly) :) Few are made from the clothing tags i got when i did shopping and few are someone's giftwrap cardboards.

I know, i am too good in recycling and reusing it :P . And ofcourse, stealed almost all the quotes on it from net ....haha.

Ohh btw, i gave my self punch line on the backside of it saying "Think Pure. By Pavani", so they are patent ;)

Mahabaleshwar Trip.


Well, Words falls small when it comes to describe about the Nature @ Mahabaleshwar. Nature is at its best. An amazing place to visit just before the rainy season. ie in june.

We left to Mahabaleshwar on Saturday morning ie Jun 16, 2007 around 9 am and came back to pune on sunday by around 10. (This tracking of dates is for me down the time, so you can ignore it :D). We were 7 of them me, amita, lavanya, prasanna, deba, sahu and mandeep. A great climate and undescribable beauty of nature. We were very lucky as there was no heavy rains. For all of us, it was a big treat to our eyes.

We covered almost all the places as we thought we might not come again to this place (the complete credit goes to Ami as she worked out so much on the places to see) but its worth watching infinite times. Mahabaleshwar got so many peak points to view that we had so many options to view the nature at different points.

-Wilson point ...which is the highest point of Mahabaleshwar.Its 4710 ft above sea level.
-Elphiston point....where we can view two beautiful valleys Koyna & savitri.This is one of the point i liked most.
-Echo Point .....shout to the best to get echo.
-Lodwick point ....this is one more point i liked most. The wind blowing and the views were really gr8.
-Panchgani.....its also good but a bit crowded.
-Elephant point....one more view to enjoy.

-Prathap Gadh ... thats the Shivaji's fort.
-Panchganga mandir..... where 5 rivers get together (savitri,venna,...etc i don't remember others)
-ShriShankar mandir....its beside Panchaganga mandir.

-Venna lake....where we did boating in a heavy rain.

While coming back.... we visited I2IT too and refreshed all our old memories to alive.

First Girls Trip.




Proud to say that we made this trip on fly. We three Ami, Lavs and Me have planned to go Matheran which is a hill station falls near to mumbai. Woke up at 5 30 ish AM (for us its the only toughest task to make it work) and then took a train to reach the Neral station. Unfortunately there was no toy train working to reach Matheran.

Now this is really a funny pic. (Ami's fav) We auto set the cam and thought we were successful. But you can see the output :D

Ami and Me trying to pull the toy train to make a move :D










So we walked all the way up.to admire the nature. I tell you, its worth taking the pain. We three were enjoying to our fullest as it was our first girl trip ever. Got to tell this, we also had a fight with the monkeys and lavs lost her bag to them. But anyways later we manage to get the stuff inside it. Sounds crazy and funny later but i tell you it was scary at that moment. After long walks and covering much of the places, we left to Ami's home.
The next day, we went to this wonderful temple called Ambernath Shiv temple which is some 5000 years old build by Pandavas. As you can see it looks amazing and antique. We freaked out there for a while discussing about its history.
Overall it was one of the amazing and unforgettable trip i had.

Coloring the faded to bright.

Well, Painting used to be my hobby when i was a kid. But slowly the Colors diminished from my life as i grow. Then recently, can say because of my frustration levels or the guilt for which i promised my company that i would gift a painting or the zeal for keeping my hobby still alive, i Colored the Though i though. So at a time came up with two shots.














Well, this one is vibrant and Colorful Nature. Many of my colleagues and friends loved it than the other. I choose all the bright Colors, as after all it was really long time i got the Colors to wave on canvas.

Though many of them got attracted to the Colorful one :) my personal liking goes to the Geetopadesam. (this took my hands to really bend hard).
















The painting represents the "Geetopadesam" from epic MahaBharat. It took me like hours to put on the Attitude of Arjuna (as you can see he is with closed eyes which expresses the confidence). Well the point is 'the Geetopadesam' represents 'Teaching and Learning'. That is what Omniscient, my company meant to me.


Besides the wonderful feeling that i did something different from my routine, what matters is the self satisfaction and the time when you be yourself doing something without expecting anything back from it.

Hogenakkal falls


Rolling back to some 10 years, i and appu visited our cousin who lives in B'lore. In the entire trip, the only thing which i couldn't forget is the beautiful Hogenakkal falls. I believe it was my cousin nani's plan to visit this place and i really thank him for it now.

We traveled to the falls in a round shaped boat which was really scary as you feel like you are sitting on the floating water. Forgot to tell you btw, if you have seen Roja movie directed by ManiRatnam, you can see this amazing falls in the first song. Don't get amazed, its not my observation. Got to know this from the coxswain :) Hope to visit this place again.
