Marriage - A new beginning in once life...

Hi all,

I take up writing it abt this after i attended my closest cousin marriage... Occasions like marriages not only bonds de two ppl, but it gives others opportunities to meet all relations and its rather occasions like dis, tat makes ppl to see almost all relations to gather up under one roof to bless de couple... In dis fast moving world, ppl seldom gets time to meet up often and i wud say tat its high time 4 ppl to take there time off to attend functions like dis as it wud pave way 4 all to meet up and makes it memorable one, even though its de moment 4 couple to cherish all thro' their life...
To me personally i am bit disappointed as few of my other cousins didn't turned up due to their hectic and last minute work burden... It wud be rather more memorable if all my cousins turned up, but we few cousins who turned up 4 marriage had a gr8 time together after very long time...
When de marriage was abt to take of with my cousin tying up the rope to his beloved one to start the journey tat could go de long way for in dere life, i saw tears coming from bride mother due to happiness and i personally seen it before in my life in my two sisters marriage as my mom & dad shed tears in happiness... Those tears rather speaks a lot and it symbolises de struggle to brought up a child from birth to till date with utmost care & affection...

"To the world you may be one person,
but to one person you may be the world."

E'one had to face Crest and Trough in the life journey !!!

Hi,

I decided to write abt this one after my discussion with my cousin abt how e'thing is going smoothly 4 him and he suddenly met with an obstacle rather i would say not the timely one ... I feel that life as such had to be with those ups and downs, twists and turns or otherwise if it gets routine stuff as our work is then u won't feel the same way to lead the life when u get up every morning...

Life as such had to be continued e'day with the mystery of wat could happen tomo, as it's not as a Da-vinci code to be broken... Ppl had to go thro those moments and i feel the person with the right attitude will take it watever comes his way in a quite normal manner whether it may be happiness or sorrow... Those persons r pretty hard to find but there r persons who takes e'thing in a lighter manner...

Enjoy every moment ur living today and take watever comes ur way in ur life...

To sign off i would say that "One destiny unfolds another"

Value the relationship to extreme !!!

Hi all,

It was AUG 31st '07 my school frnd marriage... She had send the invitation to most of our school class mates whom she had contact with and asked few other frnd to distribute to other ppl also whom they have contact with... It was friday i decided to take off on that day to attend the marriage function in my native KMU... I went there thinking that this could be the opportunity to meet some old school frnds and chat with them to cherish good old memories...

To my disgust i happened to meet only 3 of my school frnds who turned up 4 the marriage... She send the invitation nearly a month back and the response is 3 ppl turning up... I know that many of them r commited to some other functions on the same day... But i feel that these r the high time that ppl should try to take their time off to spend on occasions like this... I felt very disappointed and even when we had our get together 4 our school frnds the response was very poor as number of ppl turned up r countable in fingers... I came all the way from b'lore to attend the gettogether and i am terribly upsetted to c the no of ppl tunred up on that day...

I feel that ppl should give more values to the relationship as i felt that it is getting decremented in the m/c life that e'one is persuading with... One cannot roll back to get some occasion such as marriage, frnd b'day or watever the function may be... So humble request to all is...

"Spare ur time to share and cherish the relationship u have with other...
Money can't buy happiness 4 u..."

My 1 yr Exp. in HCL.....

Hi ppl,

Its been nearly 1 yr since i stepped myself into the "World Of Corporates"... I would say that as of now the journey is going smoothly, although it started to be getting pretty routine & hectic... The most admiring aspect abt HCL is that, they are not depending on any individual verticals as such and they r ready to explore themselves with new innovative verticals...
My journey started in HCL on OCT 5th 2006 and goes on till date...

The things that i learnt after joining this MNC are that, one need to be more flexible to do any nature of work that r assigned... Within these short span of 1 yr lots of things i learnt it from many ppl right from the month of Dec '06 when i joined a team in b'lore.. It was an awesome exp 4 me after joined the team in b'lore where all the ppl helped me @ diff stage and they made me feel comfortable and i started believe that i am part of the team from the day one although i had lingustic barrier with them... But that doesnt disturb my feeling of oneness within the team... Gained lots of useful tips from the seniors in the team and i think those learning curve will lost forever like there rememberance too in my heart... Spent nearly 3 months and had gr8 fun and also got useful contacts from them... It wont be fair to mention few names of that team as e'one helped and motivted me... After been released from the team i stayed in b'lore 4 a month afterwards where i had been trained 4 some other proj and then i got opportunity to be back again to everloving "Singara Chennai"...

I joined the team over in chn and its been thoroughly refreshing exp 4 me as i happened to start executing some new work which is a bit different.. It had taken time 4 me to cope with it and i feel that i adopted to it after a month and a half or so... I feel i am pretty lucky because the ppl that i am mingling so far in all the teams that i worked in or so helpful and friendly... I heard it from my cousins before joining IT industry there lots of ppl will be around to pull your legs... Lucky that i didnt meet any such kind of ppl still, but i feel that i can manage that as well if the situation arise as life wont go the same way.. i mean pretty sweetly...

To wind up i would say that its been life exp as well along with the work exp that i gained...
"Still lots of paths ahead in the road r yet to be travelled in the journey... Luk fwd to it..."

Loneliest b'day that i spent never before in my life!!!

Hi,

I turned 24 yesterday and this is my loneliest b'day that i spent throughout my life... I was all alone in my room and i didnt do one bit spl on de day... I got up late in the morning after watching the fucking match where India won it by thriller or made it as a thriller... Then i went to give my bike the 1st service and i finished all de work tat i planned on de previous day by afternoon and it was really very boring from the afternoon till de day ends...

I got a lot of call from my friends wishing on my b'day and some scrapped & wished me.. I take this as an opportunity to "Thank all" for their heart warming wishes.. I am guy, who would love to go out and enjoy the time with frnds and to have a gr8 time... Friends r always my best companions and although i dont move tat well to all, but ppl who r close to me know me really well that i am very jovial and fun guy to be around... Its a different exp altogether being all alone in the room this time around.. As one would say that e'day in life wud teach u something or the other and i learnt it to be being lonely as always u cant get companions to travel with u all time around... I spent de day surfing and hearing illayaraja's melodies- Thanimayil Inimai tha athu!!!

Abt Madras Week - Starting by Aug'19.

Hi,

I surfed ibnlive.com 4 the news and i found it on last sunday that chennai is celebrating its lovely culture with the MADRAS week... I found it pretty interesting as i had no idea abt it watsover and being true chennaite i went thro the news which discussed in detail abt the culture and tradition that ppl r following and the changing face of chennai daily with the influence of westernisation...

The city which is nearly 368 yrs old and home of 70 lakhs ppl had been the place to survive 4 many of us from various parts of TN... Place which is growing immensely day by day with the so many MNC's turning up and hot restaurants multi stori shopping complexes and theatre complex like inox,satyam and upcoming pvr .The city is expanding in such a way @ the present scenario it had been stretched to Kanchipuran @ one end to chengalpet @ the other with the exploration of IT companies setting it up the campuses... Today the ever increasing in number of ppl r due to the openings of so many engg colleges and IT companies and even mft industries like auto-sector is also booming up and they r also setting up plants... Naturally as a result of it employment oppurtunities r more... I feel its high time now that other parts of TN also need to be explored 4 various companies to set up and all the growth need to take place all thro' parts of TN, so that chennai would be left as singara chn atleast to some extent...

Eventhough we see advent of so many things happening around i feel that still the culture and the tradition we follow r not gone under the burrial completely... There r still ppl who have high value 4 the tradition that we follow...

I came to this city to pursue my college life and i had been to blr 4 few months in reg with my job and i was very eager to get back to these place which i love @ the most 4 various reasons...
And i came back here and life is rocking in chn really now... Last but not the least i already wrote abt the foods which i love very much in chennai.. Delecious as ever!!!

Proud to be Chennaite!!! Life rocks in Chn....

"My Dream Machine" - Gladiator bike

HI folks,

It would be dream for every youth to drive bike and rule the road... And my long dream had been fulfilled and cherished on friday (27th JUL'07) as i delivered my bike from the showroom... The 1st question ppl asked when i told my plan of purchasing the bike was wat bike r u going to buy... I told them tat i decided to go 4 YAMAHA Gladiator... Everyone surprised abt my decision and asked them not to go 4 Yamaha 4 various reasons... But i stick to wat i planned and its been my long term plan to go 4 this bike... Its my nature tat once i decided its pretty hard to revert my mind back from it...

Against all odds i bought the Gladi and its performance rocks and i am pretty happy with the handling of the bike till now... And i am damn sure it catched the eyes of many in the roads since very rarely u could see this bike... Against all Bajaj,Hero Honda & TVS bikes tat u see on de road, very often YAMAHA bikes r seen.. The reasons may be many... But i dont believe in numbers and i dont want to be found one among these crowded ppl... I am unique myself and i want to go 4 a bike tat looks unique in the road and @ the end of the day i would say tat my passion 4 the bike driven me to go 4 YAMAHA Gladiator and afterall YAMAHA always rocks and "Gladi" sure to "rule de road"...

I would say tat ppl mad about yamaha will give give anything to get it...

Some pics of my Gladi....

To sign off i would say that its my crazy 4 YAMAHA bikes had made me to go 4 Gladiator... Watch out 4 YAMAHA as it has planned to release all its high end bikes next year...

Don't Drink & Drive - Bitter Personal Experience from other end!!!

Hi all,

We would have seen so much hoardings about the effect of drink and drive such as "Don't Drink & Drive"... But i feel that all these hoardings doesn't create any awareness amongst the ppl as major percentage of the ppl drinking and driving are unliterate and other percentage of the ppl wat can say abt them, some would rather experienced the bitterness & later realise and in some cases it may be too late also... I experienced myself from other end 2 weeks back the effect of ppl drinking alcohol and driving or should rather say even walking...

One old drunkard bastard man came in between from nowhere as he tried to cross the road without his consciousness and my frnd who was driving the bike couldn't control it... We weren't driving even very fast not even my frnd changed it to the 4th gear and the incident took place with a blink of eyes... I had some scratches and my frnd got a surgery in his leg.. He had to be out of office 4 nearly a month and a half due to the effect of it... But there r ppl who had even lost their life due to the effect of it without their mistake as they r receiving it from the other end due to the effect of ppl drinking & driving...

I can see so many ambulances going in the city and i can damn sure tat most cases will be accident cases and if we root cause the effect of these accidents, i can say tat the major percentage would be ppl drinking & driving... Lets try to end this by following the strict traffic rules & regulations and i being the "optimist" believe that atleast in near future ppl started following traffic rules in our country strictly....

Our Team Outing to Kodai

HI folks,

It had been a wonderful exp 4 me especially in our team outing to kodai... It gave me the openings to get to know abt each member in our team... Really i wud say tat i find them moving very friendly and i realised tat the fault is in my side only as i thought tat they r not moving tat much initially, may be because i am of tat nature and i take time to get mingled with others...

The tour went as per plan and we all reached central around 8pm although the plan was to meet up @ 7:30 pm... The tour started with as usual thrill as one of our team mate missed the train and he able to catch the train in villupuram, as our train delayed by 2 hrs due to some technical probs (Indian Timings)... We reached dindugal around 5:30am and from there we got a van and we reached kodai around 8am...

Snap shots in train while we r on the de way to start our mission...

The 1st thing we did after landing kodai is to have our breakfast in nearby hotel...
These is the hotel where we had our breakfast...




The 1st day we visted various places such as shanthi valley,suicide point,pillar's rock,pine forest and last but not the least, we went 4 the so called trekking,since its not the conventional one and the proper trekking which was planned next day cancelled because of tat effect itself..







Few fotos in various places....

SALUTING THE REAL HEROES !!!

Hi folks,

Its been nearly 8 yrs since "kargil war" had taken place... The cause of the war was the infiltration of Pakistani soldiers and Kashmiri militants into positions on the Indian side of the Line of Control, which serves as the de facto border between the two nations. In a country like India where ppl hardly realise the life and soul tat had been put by the soldiers in the border fighting 4 our nation... Their services can't be described in a phrase or so... The real fact is tat in today's world we hardly knows even the name of the ppl who r fighting 4 our country, then how come we will know their services...

These secluded heroes of whom some sacrificed their precious life in the battle field and others still "walking on the knife edge throughout their life" can be even worshipped as GOD... Let us all Salute these heroes on their 9th mourning ceremony... Their glory will never fade...

A SALUTE TO

OF KARGIL WAR

Ahead of my TEAM OUTING to Kodaikanal next week!!!

HI folks,

Its been nearly a month since i returned back to chn and joined the team over here and it will be my 1st team outing next weekend... Its always very imp to go 4 the team outings and all, since it wud pave way 4 the ppl to realize tat ur part of the team... Since this wud be the 1st trip 4 me, i wud love to enhance my relationship with my colleagues... As it happens there will be diff of opinions amongst ppl in the team but at the end of the day its these bunch of ppl who ur going to sit, share ur workload and enjoy every moment of time tat u spend with them in the official hrs as well as outside...

"Strength lies in differences, not in similarities" ...

Luk fwd to have a memorable trip ahead... Will post u all the stuffs tat will happen in the tour in my next blog....

Back to CHN after 8 months of stay in BLR

HI folks,

I got transfer back to CHN from BLR nearly a month back and i am happy to be back again to where i belongs to, since most of my school and college mates r staying in CHN, but tats not the only thing, the other imp fact is our delecious "SAMBAR" which i had missed badly over there...
The 1st day wat i did after coming to chn was to have pongal, vada with most imp "TN sambar" as a breakfast in my usual routine hotel "BHAKYA" which i missed all these months... Then dinner i had "SAMBAR VADAI" in "Saravana Bhavan" hotel which eluded me from having all these months... Its nice to be back again to chn after my college days which i enjoyed @ the most with my roomies in AMBATTUR going out to dinner to our favourite hotel "Balaji Bhavan" and then the famous "Murugan IDLY Shop" where we will get all varieties of chatnis and they serve them in traditional "Vaalai Ilai"... And last but not the least the home made food which we get in our "TANJORE MESS" ,WB, where i used to have full meals in the afternoon and then should i need to say wat next, obviously "KUMBAKARNA sleep"...

Hi folks,
