Infinitea

Last week, after attending a talk by Mr. Vint Cerf, father of Internet, we made our way to Infinitea- a tea bar on Cunningham Road. This ambience of this place is soothing; the price of eatables is not so much. But you don’t go to such a place everyday!

They have made well use of the space and it never felt too crowded despite many people being there. At the same time, I doubt if it can accommodate more than thirty people at a go.

You will have a hard time choosing the tea because there is plethora of choice on the menu. You can have it with milk or without milk, have it hot or have it cold, have it with bunch of tea leaves inside your cup or without them, have it with sugar or without it.

You can find funny quotes everywhere- on walls, tea-coasters and perhaps also on tissue papers lying on table.

We went for a sandwich which was priced at around 135 Rupees and believe me it was worth the cost. Masala tea, though, was priced reasonably at around 50 Rupees a pot, which could serve two people.
The crockery was amazing and breathtaking. As they say, ‘Devil lies in the details’, attention is paid to every aspect of drinking tea here.
Try it out…

We (Myself, Manish, Suresh and Vijai) cracked lots of jokes and had lot of fun and after about an hour or so we headed home.

Oscar and Felix

On Friday, some of us from office went for an Evam’s play (An odd couple) to Rangashankara. There was so much of traffic that it took us an hour and a half to reach the venue and at one moment I just wanted to jump out of the car to convince myself that I could also use my legs for walking and jumping and not just for changing gears and accelerating.

All in all, we reached there well in time. The play was hilarious and is difficult to describe in words. The story rotates around two friends- Oscar and Felix: Oscar is happily divorced and stays in an 8-room apartment all by himself; Felix, on the other hand, is in the process of getting divorced to Francis (his wife). They also happen to have other common friends who come over for Poker or Friday nights.

Felix moves in with Oscar and talks all the time about his wife and how good she was. Felix who happens to be a cleanliness freak irks Oscar often with his fixation on cleanliness and Francis. Time passes by (I guess six months) and Oscar gets an opportunity to invite two English bachelor sisters home on a date.
I won’t tell you what happens next. Go and watch the play

Karthik Kumar played the role of Oscar. He was, like always, perfect in his diction and acting. I don’t know the name of the guy who played the role of Felix. He also acts very well and is suitable for a cute-guy role. Sunil Vishnu also happens to be a good actor who acted as one of their friends.

Golden Palm Spa resort, Bangalore

Last week, we attended an outbound in Golden Palm Spa resort. It supposedly has Asia’s largest swimming pool. I haven’t seen such a big swimming pool ever. I drove down to this resort. It was around 1 hour 15 minutes drive (45 Kms- 50 Kms). Overall, it is a nice place.
