Life Beyond Gokhale: December 2008
http://lifebeyondgokhale.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Beer, bikes, Bangalore. And alliterative stuff. :). Thursday, December 25, 2008. This post, dear reader, is an indirect result of reading this. Getting a salary at the end of the month is a truly wonderful thing. There's money in the bank, and there's pubs and restaurants and bookstores and theaters and motorcycles and so many other things. All of which may not be quite as within reach without the dog tag around your neck. As with most other things in life, there's the good; and there's the bad. But as w...

Life Beyond Gokhale: August 2008
http://lifebeyondgokhale.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Beer, bikes, Bangalore. And alliterative stuff. :). Saturday, August 23, 2008. In which the elements are encountered. And are found to be bloody cold. One bullet, vintage 1995 (or is it '94? I can never remember, and GTya never lets me forget). Two riders, one bulky, the other not at all. Helmets, gloves, GT with a jacket and a sweater, self with (and to this day my body shudders in unfond remembrance) just the one sweater. A tank full of petrol, and the remainder of the night. Right, here we go. Junior ...

Life Beyond Gokhale: September 2008
http://lifebeyondgokhale.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Beer, bikes, Bangalore. And alliterative stuff. :). Monday, September 29, 2008. I go to Goa. Many tales in the offing, and here's a thought: how about making it a jugalbandi, bhaisaab. Your turn, if you wish. Onwards, you Philistines! Links to this post. Good, But Not Quite Perfect. U2 got the song. Right, but they got the day. Links to this post. Thursday, September 25, 2008. In Which We Do Not Sleep. Can't Sleep. And Fly. So there we are, in adjacent berths, at 9 in the night. And then the pain of havi...

Life Beyond Gokhale: The Art of Humour...
http://lifebeyondgokhale.blogspot.com/2009/03/art-of-humour.html
Beer, bikes, Bangalore. And alliterative stuff. :). Saturday, March 21, 2009. The Art of Humour. Or how to kill a joke. Beer, bikes, babes and alliterative stuff'. I somehow remember that. Marriage actually made you change the 'babes' to 'Bangalore'. Beer, bikes, boshu and alliterative stuff' does not quite fit, does it? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Girl in the Hat. The Art of Humour.

Life Beyond Gokhale: December 2007
http://lifebeyondgokhale.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Beer, bikes, Bangalore. And alliterative stuff. :). Monday, December 31, 2007. Aamir bhai, salaam. Links to this post. Thursday, December 20, 2007. Have you ever embarked on an adventure that seems like an adventure to you, but folly to the rest of the planet? Something that seemed like fun to do where you were concerned - sure, a tad risky, a tad unsafe, but fun nonetheless - but insanely idiotic to everybody else. But you'd still go ahead and do it. Because. And a little outside of Dhavengere, when the...

Life Beyond Gokhale: February 2008
http://lifebeyondgokhale.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Beer, bikes, Bangalore. And alliterative stuff. :). Tuesday, February 19, 2008. The Puneri Spirit. It's tekdis. The night stills reigns supreme, but there is trouble at the far reaches of her kingdom. Birds begin to stir in the trees that line the road, and their chirps can be heard in sporadic bursts. There is barely any traffic on the road, as one would expect. Pune awaits yet another dawn, and it does so in silent, dormant style. Long long ago, nearly forty years back, the powers that be decided to ma...

Life Beyond Gokhale: June 2008
http://lifebeyondgokhale.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Beer, bikes, Bangalore. And alliterative stuff. :). Thursday, June 19, 2008. Bangalore to Pune. The Travelogue. Why does one travel? Why does one leave Bangalore in the middle of the night, armed with nothing more than a solitary jacket and a pair of gloves - and that too in late November? Why does one determine to travel anywhere between 900 to 1300 kilometers? On a bike that is notoriously fickle at the best of times, with a companion who might at best be described as mildly eccentric? You travel to lo...

Life Beyond Gokhale: April 2008
http://lifebeyondgokhale.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Beer, bikes, Bangalore. And alliterative stuff. :). Saturday, April 26, 2008. Today, dear old girls and all you buggers, I shall tell you a story about Nothing. Careful perusers of these pages (and who would want to be otherwise? Would have noted that the word "Nothing", in the previous sentence, commences with a capital "N". That is no typing mistake; it is not a typo. That's just the way it was supposed to be – I shall indeed be telling you a story about Nothing. To give you'll a flavour of what I mean:.

Life Beyond Gokhale: January 2008
http://lifebeyondgokhale.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Beer, bikes, Bangalore. And alliterative stuff. :). Tuesday, January 29, 2008. A plateful of KheeKa. Even a Maharashtrian (and by that I mean a non-Punekar), I'm willing to wager, has not heard of KheeKa. To say nothing of MUST and ST. For a true blue Punekar though, the state is split along three primary categories. If you are in Maharashtra, you are a Maharashtrian. If you are in Maharashtra and in Pune, you are a Punekar. And if you are in Mumbai, you ought to be kicked. He'll glare at you as you step...
