Live Traffic Monitoring on Web

Nice service by Mapunity. A new web portal to get live information on traffic status, directions and auto fares for the following cities:

http://www.dtis.in/ for Delhi

http://www.btis.in/live.htm for Bangalore ( This includes live traffic cam )

http://www.ptis.in/ for Pune

http://www.htis.in/directions.htm for Hyderabad

http://www.chennaitraffic.in/ for Chennai

With the help of traffic police, they have launched a live traffic portal (Transport Information System) where you can find:

1. Optimal routes between any two places in the city
2. Auto-fares
3. Bus routes and stops, etc.

Kodaikanal Trip Was Unbelievable

It was unbelievable and extremely beautiful trip of my life to Kodai hills .. and also after a long time with full family. We were pretty amazed by the natural beauty of Kodaikanal which certainly has broken our myth that Ooty is the only standard hill-station in southern india.
Infact I liked few parts of Kodai more natural, beautiful and cleaner than Ooty, specially the nature walk into the woods .. which was awesome.

more to come ..

Recharge successful: back from home trip

25th morning 9.00 AM i landed back to Bangalore after 7 days of fully charged home trip to Lucknow and Delhi. HOLI was a blast and meeting with friends in Noida, Lucknow and Delhi was a great fun.
After 2 years I played Holi in Lucknow with 2 glass of bhang and lots of colors. This was very much required as last 2 years we friends were rocking Bangalore and I always believe in keeping a balance of north and south in my life.
Thats why when my battery goes down in south(work), I always recharge it by going north(home).

Shited Flat ...

Last weekend was kinda crazy but fun as I shifted my rented1BHK flat to Indiranagar; after living in the vicinity of Bannerghatta road for three years ( that's exactly the time since I am in Bangalore).

Although the flat is in an individual house in a street which is 10 meters inside from the posh main 80 feet road in the vicinity of HAL 2nd Stage. Most os the happening hang-outs like CCDs, PlanetM, Spencer and various restaurants are walking distance only.
The good thing is that my office would be just 4 km away.

The unpacking activity was kinda fun as compared to packing. Playing with boxes and markers finally proved worth and made my life easy.

Most of the things are fit in place and the house is ready for partying as soon as I get back from my HomeTrip on 25th Mar.

You can notice in the pics that the stuff seems pretty organized inspite of the fact that bachelors live in this flat [;-)].

Back to product development.. finally :)

Yes! and why not? finally am back !
Am back to what I was waiting for since last 1 year, getting back to what I've always wanted, to do what I am made for .. and that is all about getting back into PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT MAINSTREAM.
I know its gonna be nuff challenging, and i'll take some time to get accustomed also, but that all has to happen one day, so better now.
I have already started feeling the sincerity of the environment and the quality of people all around me, no doubt I made a very right decision at a very right time.
Although I don't like the tall cubicles and the deserted cafeterias, but have to make do with them. After all, no one gets a perfect world, and that's all to make me happy, for now ;-).
