My Window Seat

It's long time since I went to a movie hall to watch a movie. The comfort and convenient cable TV, CD and DVD movies have changed the habit of waiting in a queue for a movie ticket, first-shows & late-night shows a long time ago. But the release of a new tamil movie "Kanthasamy" and the reviews made me decide on "going-back to cinema hall" for the weekend. I clicked through the BookMyShow website and could book a ticket and choose my seats too, easily! I chose the A-row for my kids to watch it from the middle seats, without hindernace. Alas, I reach URVASHI THEATER near Lal-bagh today only to find that the seat number A-32 is near a pillar and hence will not bend backwards, like the other seats will. I was disappointed and had to settle with the uncomfortable straight-seat posture!

ELEVATION PLANS...

If selecting a flooring material from various options is an experience by itself, slecting your favourite Granite texture might be another adventure! God's creation, this natural material not only has different colors and designs, but bring in loads of names from the place of their excavation! Rawsilk pink, Ivory, Colombo Juparna, Madura Gold, Ivory Fantacy, Indian Juparna, Amber White, Black Galaxy etc. etc. We finally selected "T.Gold" (Picture on Top) and had it delivered on Friday! For inlay we picked up "Lakha Red" too. Eagerly awaiting to see them laid in the new house!

Drive your car in to any street, wait for green signal and enjoy music, the only option to burst stress :) Leave your wife inside a nice cloth Shop and wait for her to select her choice :) Guarenteed time pass!

(This I sent to Bangalore Mirror, and they published it last week ). Taste some mouth-watering "Pani-puris" along any street in Jayanagar, Commercial street etc.

I am amidst too many activities at this moment! The construction tasks are hectic - selecting flooring options among Granite, Vitrified tile and Marble, electrical options, bathroom fittings, elevation details, cladding of walls etc. FLOOR OPTIONS: This is something that takes a lot of time and energy to visualize and decide. Marble for Bangalore is a "No" from many due to its cool nature and porous nature. Granite and vitrified tile provide a wide variety of options to choose from. Vitrified tiles pricing starts from Rs. 60-70 per square feet to 120+. Granite is "natural stone" and gifts amazing nature-made designs and colour shades! Started "Googling" out details and found that India is one of the key granite exporting country. Tamilnadu and Karnataka granites are very popular. Got in touch with granite dealers (Bannerghatta road has many) and also some links through friends. Based on research zeroed down on - Rawsilk Pink, Ivory Fantasy, Lavendar Blue...
