Dream come true!

At last . . . traveled on Hosur road flyover !
Really it was like, dream come true, atleast for those who have been traveling on hosur road from past 5+ years or so. Should say, man it took ages :( anyway better late than never, right :)
I was going to Habbal from Ecity, so initially thought of going via jail road(aka hosa road),outer ring road but last moment decided to take hosur flyover. No toll charge was being collected and heard will continue to be toll free for some more days. I would definitely suggest all of you traveling near by to have a test drive on this. You can’t believe, it just took around 7 min from EC main entrance till silk board junction. Might be because, it’s was night time but I think, on an average one can easily clock 80kmph.
Just to mention, off late it was not really that horrible traffic on hosur road. Thanks to NICE corridor connecting Hosur road and Tumkur road. So I guess, many people still don’t mind traveling on the hosur road considering the proposed toll charges. I heard, plan is to collect around Rs.10 for two-wheelers, Rs.30 for four-wheelers. Looks like bit expensive, atleast for daily travelers.

Cheen to cochin !

Currently, we are in Kochi for some training. It’s hard to explain but I should say, Kerala is the place one should visit in his lifetime.When u look outside from the train window while entering the kerala boarder, you will feel the difference.Typical overcast condition with all sides looking green. Drizzling for some time and again sunshine,these are just few key points which I noticed.
But wait a moment, it’s been a week and we already started feeling the pinch. condition is hot and humid.It’s really uncomfortable for the people who are not used to this kind of weather. We are into a long weekend(being Monday holiday).
On Saturday evening, we had been to MG Road and had a heavy diner at Woodlands’s Rangoli :-)
And, yesterday, we had been to 3.5hr boat journey which just covers some typical tourist spots like dutch pallace etc. The trip was OK kind of. Posting some snaps.




BTW, Will be returning back to blore this week end(i.e. 26th Sept). But the plan is to again come back to Kochi in Oct 2nd and 3rd week.

Yercaud, an “Hill-arious” place!

Recently we had been to a place called Yercaud, popularly known hill station near Salem, Tamil Nadu. Initially, the plan was to visit Hogenakkal falls and drive back to B’lore. But then, after finishing the regular tasks at Hogenakkal, the majority is of the opinion, to visit some other places near by. Since it was the long weekend, so all agreed. We checked with one of our Tamilnadu friend, he suggested a Hill station “Yercaud”

Xsharer 0.79

Recently I was thinking about a simple tool/program which we can use for sharing expenses. This is what, bought the idea of “Xsharer“. So here comes a DOS application which seems to be easy and simple enough to use often. Implemented in C(of course) and, is full of linked lists :P

So it would be nice if you people can help me to test it.
