Filed Under (Life) by Thejesh GN on 23-05-2009

Hi there! I am Thej, If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS-All feed for all the updates on this blog or RSS - Tech only for tech related posts.

OK.. After a lot of thinking..rethinking and multiple calculations, I gifted myself an early birthday gift, a Cannondale F8. It costed a bomb but worth every paisa.

well its been a long time dream to own onw of these which came true today. As of now I am planning to cycle twice a week to office. More to come, cant type much on mobile.
