As we are gearing up for "Game of Thrones" season 6, I hardly contain my excitement. Reading the first book in "Song of Fire and Ice" simultaneously is not helping much to my obsessive self.  The most curious thing to look for this season is Jon Snow's life status. However, I'm not much concerned about that part.  I'm convinced red lady is present at the wall to resurrect Jon. The puzzling part in this is Jon's parentage. I'm positive that he is Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark's son. I was dismissing this theory because of his hair. Yeah, I'm stuck to a theory that Targaryen's will have silver hair and blue eyes. What I failed to analyze was Targaryen's were marrying brothers and sisters for 300 years. But Jon is a Stark-Targaryen.  And book name is "Song of Ice and Fire, ice for Jon and fire for Daenerys.  Only dragons and direwolfs are present as they represent the sigil of house Targaryen and house Stark respectively. As much as I love Jon, my stake is on Daenerys as I believe she is the true heir. HBO is in talks with producers of GOT for season 7 and 8,  I know it is a long wait to know who sits on iron throne and rules the Westeros, might as well Essos and Beyond the wall.

March in a Glance

We are already down with three months of the brand new year or quarter. I am jotting down few notable things languidly.

The reading was going in a snail pace. I could finish only three books-Deception Point; Play Dead; and Just Married, Please Excuse. It is better than last month however.

Movie front was pretty good as we managed to watch a couple of movies, good and bad alike. They are Tamasha, Wedding Pulav, Manorama 6 feet under, Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene, 13 going on 30, Enough, 50-50, 30 Minutes or Less, Dilwale, Bajirao Mastani, Bunty or Babli, and Shivalinga.

This month again witenesed us attending Deccan Herald theatre festival-At Home At the Zoo and 9 Jakoo Hills. I have talked about them in my earlier posts.

We did a bit of traveling too. The places are off the beaten track.  A hoysala architecture of 11th century at Amruthapura; the infamous Chandragutti Renukadevi templ; a city as old as Varanasi, the capital of Kadamba dynasty, Banavasi; a stroll in Kuvempu university; and a hill station, Kemmangundi. It was a short three day trip and we needed it from the hustle bustle of city.

PS:  April is going to be the busiest month ever.
