Nice poem

I received this poem by mail from my friend

Whatever your cross,

whatever your pain,

there will always be sunshine,

after the rain ....

Perhaps you may stumble,

perhaps even fall,

But God's always ready,

To answer your call ...

He knows every heartache,

sees every tear,

A word from His lips,

can calm every fear ...

Your sorrows may linger,

throughout the night,

But suddenly vanish,

in dawn's early light ...

The Savior is waiting,

somewhere above,

To give you His grace,

and send you His love...

Whatever your cross,

whatever your pain,

"God always sends rainbows ....

after the rain ... "

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.

Safe in the arms.....

Trapped by smoke, the parents of a 9 month old baby girl threw her out of the window to be caught by awaiting members of the fire brigade four storeys below.
The baby fell safely into the arms of a policeman below. The parents also survived.
