| Bike Ride Towards Siddara Betta |

Last Sunday (Feb 03, 2008) we planned to travel towards Siddara Betta.
It was my first bike riding over 190+Kms in a day and enjoyed to the fullest.
Siddara Betta is about 95+Kms from Bangalore. We drove via
(6.15AM) Tumkur Road > Dabaspet (7.30AM) > Koratagere > Siddara Betta (9.15AM)
It was great to climb the Rocky Hill, I was getting exhausted too fast and
managed to reach the top :). There is a small cave on the hill with a temple inside,
lot of visitors end up there.
We looked at another passage inside the cave and headed towards entering it. We had
not carried the Torch and the passage was just without light. A person there informed it is very dark inside and chances are high you getting lost inside!
Deciding to explore the passage we stepped in and used our camera as source of light. We had to perform a frog walk for about 15+ steps and found welcome rays of sun. We were really excited inside this CAVE. It was pretty chill over the place though the sun had reach on top our head at that time.
Our fellow partner found one more passage and we started to move inside it. It was very small, the rocks were quite slippery and sharp. We manage to reach almost to the end of that cave.
We were really excited to be at this place and had some quick snacks. Its really a pleasant place for mediation.
Heading out of the caves (we could feel the heat of sun!) we looked around and decided to move further ahead on the hill. After few minutes we realized its going to never end walking up the hill as its pretty vast and we were running out of main resource (WATER) and Sun rays were becoming very sharp. We got down the hill drove back to home.
Road from Bangalore to Dabaspet is awesome. Construction work is in progress from Dabaspet to Siddara Betta, the tar & mud roads alternate each other.
Sorry guys could cover lot of funny instances in this post (falling short off time)!

Freedom is given to you by trust,
Overusing it just means to lower the trust. |

| Change Management - Intresting Talk By Azim Premji |
[Dec. 1st, 2006|11:05 am] |
I found A Talk by Azim Premji on Change Management to be very intresting.
Here's is brief summary of what I liked in the points made:
* First, be alert for the first signs of change.
>> You must develop your own early warning system, which warns you of changes and calls your attention to it.
* Second, anticipate change even when things are going right.
>> The biggest enemy of future success is past success.
* Third, always look at the opportunities that change represents.
>> Managing change has a lot to go with our own attitude towards it.
* Fourth, do not allow routines to become chains.
>> While routines are useful, do not let them enslave you. Deliberately break out of them from time to time.
* Fifth, realize that fear of the unknown is natural.
>> Feel the fear, but move on regardless.
* Sixth, keep renewing yourself.
>> You have to constantly learn about people and how to interact effectively with them.
* Seventh, surround yourself with people who are open to change.
>> Choose your advisors and mentors correctly.
* Eighth, play to win.
>> When you play to win, you stretch yourself to your maximum and use all your potential.
* Ninth, respect yourself.
>> We can get out of the deepest wells by not stopping.
* Tenth, in spite of all the change around you, decide upon what you will never change - your core values.
I felt he had missed one small point.
* Try not to forget the past, its from where you would have learnt to the future. |

| Amazing drama at Rangashankara |
[May. 9th, 2005|10:18 am] |
Well, I had an extremely boring weekend. Yet, still of confidence to get charged up I moved to my friend's house on Sunday. I was still in the sleepy mood because of the afternoon's bright sun and of-course I woke up very early during the day. Not in the mood to do anything very interesting I kept silent even there. Later a small piece of information was put into my ears, saying people they were planning to go out for Rangashankara. I said "ok", (surprisingly I found I made a good decision, well I will let you know this later).
( Click here to read more )
Well, by end of the night my mind was really charged up and I was really thinking why not practice such an art :). I need not but still want thank ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) theju for showing such wonderful place. |
