Hello Once Again

Hello World,

Wellll..... It has been almost 4 years since I half moved to namma Bengaluru.  But I sort of put Blogging on Back burner as there were too many things to do on too many fronts.  And all were important. And none couldn't be pushed off the list.... :-)

Hmmmmm.....So I thought to myself...Better late than never..:-)  And Here I am at SPANDHANA.

SPANDHANA, as an Indian reader might guess means response..... It could be response to anything...some news that moves me ....some sight that beholds me....I wish to let my fingers flow on my keyboard...and hope I can connect to my readers well and take them along with me wherever I go, whatever I feel....

I still shuttle between Bengaluru & Singapore and love both places....So, you may see a trans-national rally of thought, sights, sounds and images etc.......  FUN, ain't it?   Somewhat like a 'TALE OF TWO CITIES'.  :-)

Come, join me on this beautiful Journey of Discovery.....
Hope to connect you soon...

Formula I in Singapore

W...e...l...l.... I am opening my blog with a remark about a 4.9 billion $ industry. It is a great feeling to be in Singapore when this tiny little country managed to pull off a World's first in this sport. It is the World's first ever Night Race.



To be honest, I wasnt much enamoured when the news first came about SGP hosting a F1 race for the 1st time. But, as the time flew past & I started reading more & more about it, I suddenly realised one day, Óh, my god, F1 is just a 10 days away'..!! Alas, there were no more tickets to be had..

Hope I wont make a similar mistake with the YOG. I want to book tickets the 1st day it opens to public...



But, I must admit I am disappointed a bit with the 1st night's coverage of the practice runs... I was more impressed with the way the SGP authorities had transformed a normal public road into a world standrad racetrack by night... than with the actual coverage of the races/racecars. I feel the camera is kept too close to the cars, so close that it sometimes feels like u r playing a racing game at a video parlour, rather than feel the sheer thrill of the live races.. Hope the camera coverage improves over the next few days & gives us more wide angle & long view glimpses of different stretches of the tracks.




Okie dokie.... HAve fun @ FormulaOne..!! Good night ....
