Kumta eerulli (Onion)


If you see this strange bunch of onions hanging in a house you visit, it is likely that you are in the house of people from the coastal or Malnad districts of Karnataka and it is a summer month. These onions come in two colours, pink and white. They come from Kumta and only during the April and May months. Quick google search shows that there is some more information about these onions here and here.

Everyone and their aunt want to wish you


I have often heard from my colleagues that the "politics" in Tamilnadu is far "advanced" compared to other states. They say the kind of things being seen in Karnataka political circles now-a-days were tried and perfected in Tamilnadu decades ago. I don't know whether that is true, but they sure seem to be ahead in erecting gigantic flex banners. In the above banner, more than 130 people seem to be wishing rest of the village (if anyone is left out) whatever they want to wish. "Happy Pongal", I suppose... sorry, I cannot read the language.

Yeah, we are that bugged!


Did you ever sit near the entrance of the floor in your office and see all kinds of people stop by to ask you "Where does X sit?" or "Where is meeting room Y?"

We also do this!


You might think we are too busy improving our search engine or churning out features for Android, but we also find time to run this internet surfing centre in Mysore.

Political correctness? What is that?

I hear that "Chronologically advanced" is more correct than "senior citizens"

Happy animal?


If this is how 'happy' animals look, I pity the sad ones.

Read it out loud

"Hey, I'm putting up a notice. How do you spell drum?"
"d-u-r-m"
"Thanks!"
