A day without traffic in the life of a Bangalore biker

A day without traffic jams in Bangalore?............. Utopia?

It happened today when i was going from home to my office. It usually takes about 30 to 40 minutes in the weekdays to reach there and I hate riding my bike in that heavy traffic, which usually moves at a snail's pace.
But today, I was able to reach my office in just a little more than 10 minutes and I enjoyed riding in the roads which had less traffic. I wish that everyday is like this but I am also aware that everyday is not Saturday and a Monday will come and i have to be prepared for that.
Leave aside all that, I want to make the most out of my Saturday and enjoy the favourable conditions.
After all, a day without traffic is a rare thing in Bangalore.

Bangalore Blogger Meet

Saturday evening, I attended the blogger meet organized by Indiblogger and Microsoft. This was my first blogger meet. I have been blogging for about ten months and i haven't even heard of a blogger meet before.
It was nice to see many bloggers from different parts of Bangalore coming together and sharing their blogging experience.
Anoop and Anwin were simply superb.

Hats off to Anwin for organizing this meet and looking forward to more blogger meets in the future.
