#OfficeDoodles @NainaaRajpaal- The banker!

This doodle is of yet another friend and colleague, Nainaa Rajpaal, who is the banker in our office! She collects fines for late-comers! No wonder she's the #DollarGirl!

Bob's Dhaba, Jeevan Bhima Nagar, #Bangalore #KickassFood

A colleague happened to stumble upon this tiny hole in one of the by lanes of Jeevan Bhima Nagar in Indiranagar, Bangalore. Address: 494, Star Manor, 8th Cross, Jeevan Bhima Nagar, Bangalore. What a discovery! Bob's dhaba is simple, clean, inexpensive and is thronged by hoardes of office-goers like me during lunch time. So, if you want to cut the queue, you can be as smart as me! I went there at 12.00 noon! The picture of the empty dhaba is a proof of my success story! :) Delicious food, healthy, tasty and home-cooked! Garam garam chapatis served straight from the tava onto your plates! Now that feels like home! I must mention the presence of the transistor that adds to the feel of eating in a dhaba. With old Hindi songs like Raja Hindustani playing in the background, it immediately transforms you to a highway kind of a place where you can eat rajma chawal, roti and onions with green chillies. The wall was even decorated with the Zomato certificate, which happily surprised me! I felt victorious as we paid the bill and walked out, only to see a wave of office-goers on their way to Bob's! My suggestion: A must try for those who love North Indian, home cooked food and want to go easy on the pocket. The only thought that I was left with, was Who is Bob? Yeh Bob kaun hai?

Meet Mirindaaaaa!!!

Meet Mirinda, the new addition to my living room! Come Christmas time and everyone's generous with presents- especially if you don't know the person you are gifting it to!
Yes, I'm talking about Santa time- that too, a secret one.

We played Secret Santa during Christmas at my workplace at Ogilvy & Mather, Bangalore and I got the most awesome present from somebody I had never interacted with before. He was a guy working in the digital studio. What's more, he was so amazed, at all the limelight he received after, from all the girls who went up to him and said he was so thoughtful and bought just the right present for a girl!

I absolutely loved my Christmas present- I  mean who wouldn't? It's so lovable and ORANGE!! :) Happiness, I say! I had kept Mirinda on my office desk for a few days, as people wanted to come and get photographed with him.

What I love the most about him is an orange body and blue legs. He has such nice, long ears and a flat, black nose, chubby cheeks and small eyes- just as cute and quirky as I like it!

Let me tell you how he got such a brilliant name. It's courtesy Sid. He has this knack of naming things and people aptly, in a way thats fun!

When I got home, I proudly showed Sid my Secret Santa present and he exclaimed, "It's so damn orange, let's name him Mirindaaaaaaahhh, after the orange drink!"
And that my friends, has been the brightest spark in my living room, ever since. Mirindaaaa! :)

Good morning!

Every morning  there's somebody who ardently anticipates me at work. Its Misty, our office dog at Geek Creative. She's just like her name- white as mist, naughty and extremely adorable. The minute she sees me arrive on my pink electric scooter from a distance, she takes a long run up, leaps onto my scooter, licks my face, and barks as if to say 'Good Morning!' No matter how much I rub my eyes and drag myself to work on a Monday, Misty just adds the happiness ingredient to kick start my day!  She is happiness galore! Here's a picture I took on one of those mornings when she sat on my scooter and she did'nt mind the camera at all!
