Chaand Chhupa Badal Mein...

While browsing through this post at a blog I frequent, I was reminded of our dear Chanda Mama or the 'Chand Guy' as SG refers to him.
We find Innumerable references to the moon in various compositions like...
*** Bachpan mein the 'Chanda Mama Door Ke...'
*** and in our own Bollywood style 'Chaand Chhupa Baadal Mein...'

Note: Pictures not very clear due to limitations of the camera.

The Legend of Juju...

Maxinations 2005 will be remembered for a lot of things but the most yaadgar was no doubt Juju and the Ande Kaa funda.


Juju was the creation of A-block. His special abilities being a great Mosquito killer. No doubt the cute little alien became a major hit with his own jingle.

Scotland yard with all its occupants.

The Ande Kaa Funda created such a painful noise that people literally were about to throw some eggs on us. But then our block has always been notorius in creating the most awful and irritating block songs.

Here began the famous Salim -Anarkali love tragedy.

Nandi Hills

Here are some snaps from my recent visit to Nandi hills on 1st October. The place is around 60kms from bangalore and is famous for Tipu's drop, a cliff beyond the fort of Tipu Sultan there.
