Another Macho from YAMAHA - FZ16

2008-10-06T23:57:00.000-07:00

Hi,

YAMAHA all set to rock again in Indian Market after the success of R15 with his new FZ16.

After the revolutionary YZF-R15 launched earlier this year, it's the turn of the eagerly awaited FZ-16. Contrary to speculation, it is not FZ-15, FZ150 or Fazer-15.

Macho, Muscular are the sort of adjectives that come into your mind and this is exactly what Yamaha had in mind when they were styling this one. The bike gets its looks from the global FZ series known for awesome looks and tremendous power.

Each and every part of FZ16 has been designed with a lot of detailed attention and careful thought. This ultimate degree of perfection means even the slightest feature has not been overlooked. Only Yamaha ensures this kind of craftsmanship.

The rider and the machine share a feeling of oneness, and from different angles the impression is different. This is particularly because the finest components have been used in its precise manufacturing.

The FZ16 possesses both a rough and brutish expression as well as a certain subtlety. This high quality masterpiece will without doubt become a rage for the next generation.

Everything about this bike is big, the wide tyres, the huge tank, the beefy forks. Viewed side on it looks like a well built athelete on the start line flexing its muscles, waiting to smash all the records.

The mini-Fazer features state of the art – YTPS (Yamaha Throttle Position Sensor), for better throttle response and fuel efficiency and will be loaded with a fully digital console with digital readout for RPM, Speed, Trip and Odo.

Main Styling Elements of FZ-16:

Big center mass
Tough looking front forks
Tough looking chassis
Mid-ship stubby silencer
Super wide tyres
Rugged shaped body parts

The stylish yet innovative FZ-16 has macho and muscular looks redefining the 150cc bikes segment. It keeps it simple, with street-tough naked styling and super-civilized power delivery and a specially designed riding position that gives riders extra confidence at lower speeds.

The Yamaha FZ-16 is an urban-cool motorcycle built for great performance and easy-living functionality, because that’s the whole idea of a bike like this. It has got heart-pumping knockout performance and it’s got serious attitude on top of that, a lean and mean look that’s all about raw power.

It keeps it simple, with street-tough naked styling and super-civilized power delivery and a specially designed riding position that gives riders extra confidence at lower speeds.

The meters on the FZ16 are installed in a Full Liquid Crystal Display. The speedometer, tachometer, trip meter, fuel gauge and other indicators are set in optimum position to keep the field of vision clear. Also, the engine starting signal is an example of the spirit of innovation.

The steel fuel tank with a plastic resin outer cover takes advantage of the freedom of shaping that plastic provides, giving the tank cover a powerful shape with modulations suggestive of the muscular body of an athlete.

To give a sense of volume to the machine, an external diameter of 35mm is adopted in a two-layer type exhaust to minimize the effect of heat on the pipe. The layout features a large-volume primary character on the underside of the crankcase. The muffler is an irregular shaped tapered type mid-ship muffler.

A Monocross rear suspension unit provides 120 mm of wheel travel, while optimized oil and damping valve specs help ensure agile running performance and handling. It inhibits bottoming while riding with a tandem passenger as well as providing a very comfortable ride.

Unlike the Yamaha R15, the Yamaha FZ-16 is a macho street fighter. The bike gets its looks from the global FZ series known for awesome looks and tremendous power.

The petrol tank, silensor, the yellow-gold plated rear shock absorber and fat tyres give enough clues to the true strength of the Yamaha FZ 16 motorcycle - torque that is a bit higher than the 160 Apache RTR and tuned for acceleration and mid-range than outright top speed.

Unlike the YZF R15, the Yamaha FZ16 motorcycle is more a city bike, tuned for aggressive city riding than for pure top speed.

The commerical launch will happen in the festive season of October after which the bike will go on sale throughout the country.

FZ 16 gets its DNA from global FZ’s series of Yamaha motorcycles. Fat tyre at the rear, beefy tank, beefy front fork compliment the FZ 16’s muscular character, which is all set to become a huge hit among the young crowd in India.

The deliveries will commence by Oct. 2008. The FZ-16 is estimated to cost around Rs. 70,000 ex-showroom. It is be available in three colours - Lava Red, Midnight Black and Flaming Orange.

The bike is expected to shake the entire two-wheeler segment market in the country by luring all youngsters to the showrooms. It is expected that the other majors such as the Apaches, Pulsars and the Hunks would see tough competition when the bike arrives this October.

FZ Concept

(from yamaha's website)

While inheriting the quality of the famous brand, the FZ16 was also born to revolutionize the era and carry out a mission. Its appearance more than any other, overflows with dynamism and originality.

The running performance is brimming with thrust that overpowers all others. This quality solely belongs to Yamaha’s advanced technologies. The FZ16 takes attention away from others on the road as it makes its personality felt.

Lord of the Streets - FZ16 - You will be drawn to this machine that in the next era will become the king of the streets.

"LORD MAKES NEW RULES"

The rider’s will is spread to the handle, the body and then the engine giving birth to unprecedented torque. This force is truly dynamic. Due to minute calculations and overcoming major challenges, an ultimate body balance has been produced.

The agile running performance is extremely exciting. The superior performance brings riding feel, which when you ride provides you an emotional high.

Thus this is unique not only for the rider but also a source of great fascination to the onlooker. With the FZ16 you have the sensation of ruling the streets to your heart’s content.

"LORD TAKES OVER"

The FZ16 possesses both a rough and brutish expression as well as a certain subtlety. This high quality masterpiece will without doubt become a rage for the next generation.

My Exp in US Consulate and my stay in the North

2008-10-06T22:49:00.000-07:00

Hi,

As i told in my previous blog, i will share my exp that i had in de US consulate and my first time visit to northern side of India and tat too to the capital of India.

For so many reasons, to start with travel in air and de exp in US consulate and finally to the stay in de North even though it was just one night stay it was all pretty new exp.

I landed in delhi to my dismay an hr later than schedule time due to busy traffic in air in delhi. :)

I booked the cab earlier day itself for pickup from airport to the guest house in Noida. Luckily the cab driver did waited 4 me for more than an hr and he was holding a board with my name. Then i got into the cab and i travelled to my guest house in Noida. To my luck the cab driver did manage to speak and understand the English as it was not the case with one of my colleague who had a torrid time with the another cab driver, when he went there for the same purpose. I finally reached the guest house around 7 PM and i ordered the food in the guest house itself. To my disgust for the dinner i had to spend more than 100 bugs just for few rotties and rice. I thought i could anyhow get the reimbursement from the comp. But still waiting to receive the amt tat i claimed :) I didn't feel like eating it by even looking at it. Taken lightly just for the sake of it. Went bac to room and was thinking all night abt wat will happen next day in de US consulate. Felt asleep and got bac early enough to get ready for the challenge and again to my disgust i asked for the cab driver to come around 6:45 for my interview schedule @ 8:15. But the guy came around 7:30 to pick me up. I felt little nervous as i thought i could not be on time. Faced several challenges to convey to the guest house ppl reg delay in the cab due to the language barrier tat i had. Felt very bad not to have known de national language. I feel most ppl from TN state will face de pblm intially to start with if they visit north. The cab driver did drive fast and i was there on time

Had the security check up done at the entrants and i waited in the long que thinking and hoping tat i will get thro de interview. Had the doc checked up in the que itself and handed over all the doc to one of the counters along with the HDFC receipt and the lady diverted me to one of the counters inside and i had ten fingers scan been done and then they asked me to stand in que and i was awaiting for my turn to attend the interview. So many things creeps into mind reg wat will happen as i planned so many things reg de future of mine and i did planned accordingly for both de results. There was two panel interviewing and both were ladies one of whom was of US origin and another one look like an Indian origin. I was thinking of which panel i wil be going and as my turn came up i was interviewed by lady who was from US origin.

The interview started and i submitted all my doc and i greeted her with warm smile. She started to enquire and i was able to answer to all the q's been put across to me. I felt like tat i had convinced her and de interview went 4 around 15 min and once all done i waited for her final reply and she carried some entry work and i felt de nervousness expecting positive response from her. After the silence for few min, she did break the silence stating that your visa had been approved and you will get your passport in couple of days. I was jumping in joy and returned bac to de guest house called few frnds and mom and inform them reg my approval of visa. Got my return flight and landed bac to chn, i felt like bac home and de purpose of visit was thus fulfilled. Felt really happy although i may not be showing it explicitly enough to others which is trademark of resemblance of my char.

First Time Exp while travelling in Air!!!

2008-10-06T07:35:00.000-07:00

Hi All,

Its been quite a while, infact a long gap after i decided to write about something.

Its all abt de exp. that i had in my first air travel trip from chn to delhi. The purpose of visit was because of my visa schedule been arranged at US Embassy,Delhi on 25th early morning. Travelled from chennai to delhi previous day afternoon on Jet Airways. Would love to travel again in Jet Airways 4 so many reasons. :)

The flight did take off at the right time and few butterflies started flying underneath my belly. Once take off been done i felt it like very similar like travelling on Airbus in NH. But although felt that i was travelling at certain altituide. Enjoyed all de cool stuffs & food been provided. Then came the deciding factor i.e, Landing. Felt bad while landing more than while taking off. It was so abrupt that u feel the shakeage totally. Prayed the almighty that de breaking had to be so good enough as i could feel the immense amount of breakage pressure been applied while landing. Even felt worst while landing on the return in Indian Airways, as i could feel the initial jump after landing. It was indeed a gr8 1st time exp, tat too @ expence of the company. :)

Finally the purpose of visit does fulfilled as i got my L1 visa stampede for 3 yrs.

Will update the exp that i had in de US consulate and few hiccups caused because of my linguistic skills in my upcoming blog.

Stay tune...

Person i admire most - After IPL hungama...

2008-06-20T01:56:00.000-07:00

Hi,

I thought of writing abt it a long back, but as usual due to hectic work and audit stuff last week couldn't able to write abt it.. But i managed to find a time to write about person tat stood out for his character in IPL hungama...

Many say tat IPL had created sensation in de cricketing history, not only for the money tats been put in but also add to the glamour of all de actor & actresses it had to watch and support de team performing and also new cricketing talent been explored from both de overseas players and Indian county players. New Players tat stood as performer and catched the centre stage are Marsh, Yusuf Pathan, Goni, Dinda, shikhar dawan and few others...

But i found rather a person tat astonishes me 4 his character more than his game... He has such a calm cool temperament, and i feel @ his age its very hard to remain calm when so many things happening around u and ur in de limelight right from de word go. The way he conducted himself in the tense moments of all crunch games which his team managed to won in preliminary phase of de tournament and also his ability to handle big overseas players and given them de comfort zone they wud love to have... Even @ defeat in de final after a nail biting last over finish by rajastan he called the team around to have a hug and cheer e'body...

Tat sums it up all 4 his character...

I have never seen a losing captain calling up his team to hug and cheer each other 4 de effort tat they had putin.. I am watching cricket from around my 5th Std and i haven't seen a captain having such a calming influence over his players...

E'one wud have guessed by it now whom i am writing it about. Its none other than

" MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI"

I truly admire him 4 de character he is been and i wish he has successful run as Indian Captain.
If he can fine tune on his technique to face the moving ball while batting, then i can assure we have a captain who can sustain long just mere 4 his character alone, if no internal politics intervene ...

Watch out 4 YAMAHA R15 !!!

2008-05-06T03:10:00.000-07:00

Hi All,

Some tech details abt de most expected bike to be released from YAMAHA in INDIA... - http://yamaha-motor-india.com/index.shtml

Liquid Cooled Engine: As an engine runs, the temperature of the engine also rises. If the temperature of the engine rises too much, then it affects the performance of the engine. Therefore engines have some sort of cooling system for its proper functioning. There are two types of cooling systems for engines. The "air-cooling system", that uses air to cool the engine and the "liquid-cooling system" in which liquid is circulated through a system of passages around the engine to cool the engine much more effectively than "air cooling".The R15 is India's first bike to feature liquid cooling. So far all the bikes manufactured in India have had Air Cooled engines. A liquid cooled engine means that the engine will be capable of higher performance.

4 Valves per cylinder: The R15 will have 4 valves for its single cylinder engine. Can't exactly call it a first for India, because even Bajaj has shown the new 125 cc XCD "Sprint which also has 4 valves. Since engines with 4 valves per cylinder usually produce most of their power at high RPM, we can expect a high revving engine in the R15.

Fuel Injection: This is also a feature that is not a first for India. The 125 cc Hero Honda Glamour "Fi", the Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi and the soon to be launched TVS Apache RTR 160 "Fi" already has fuel injection. However, Yamaha in its website says that the R15 will have a Fuel Injection with "6 hole injectors". So far, I have seen that "Fuel Injection" does not quite boost up the Power of a bike by a significant margin but it does improve the response of the engine. So expect good throttle response from the R15.

Forged Piston: The pistons made for most engines are cast pistons, it is made by melting aluminum at high temperatures and pouring it into molds. The other type of piston is this forged type, which is made by forcing aluminum that has been heated to a certain "sub-melting" temperature into a mold under pressure.
Because the aluminum alloy does not reach the melting point in this forged piston production method, it retains a stronger metallurgic quality. For this reason, forged pistons can be made with a thinner, lighter body.But there are difficulties in maintaining precise temperature and other factors in the "forging" process. Due to which such pistons are expensive to produce. In 1997, Yamaha developed a "controlled forging technology" (CF technology) that enabled production of the forged pistons at a lower cost. These pistons are now used on Yamaha's R series supersport models.

DiASil Engine Cylinder: The Engine Cylinder is that part of the engine inside which the Piston moves. Air cooled engines have fins on the cylinder to increase the cooling process.

"DiASil" is an abbreviation for "Die-casting Aluminum-Silicon". In case of the R15 it is an all-aluminum cylinder which uses a 20% silicon aluminum alloy.

Conventional engine cylinders have a steel liner to reduce the friction resulting from the piston's movement. The "DiASil" cylinder is made by the exclusive Yamaha Aluminum Controlled Forging (CF) technology.Because the "DiASil" Cylinder is all aluminum, it has excellent heat dissipation qualities and reduces engine weight at the same time. (Aluminum dissipates heat at 3.1 times the rate of steel.) The DiASil cylinder has 60% better cooling performance at 30% lower manufacturing cost and enables 30% lighter design.

Monoshock rear Suspension: The only motorcycle with a rear monoshock in India is the Honda Unicorn. But the monoshock of the Unicorn is the most basic of monoshock suspensions. The Yamaha R15 has a superior set up called the "Link Type" monoshock suspension.
Read more about Motorcycle Suspensions

"Delta" Frame: The R15 has a frame that is different from the normal single or twin downtube motorcycle frames seen in the present bikes in India. The "Delta Frame" of the R15 also can be found on the R series of Yamaha bikes. Apart from giving the bike the looks of a sports bike, the "Delta Frame" also has an excellent rigidity balance which should give the R15 a very sporty handling characteristic.

6 Gears: And Oh Yes.. the R15 also has 6 gears, a first for India (if you discount the legendary RD350 of course)Front and Rear Disc Brakes: The R1 features disc brakes for both the front and rear.According to Yamaha these features of the Yamaha R15 have been incorporated from the DNA of its high performance racing bikes like the R1. This is not exactly untrue since the R series of bikes from Yamaha actually do feature parts like these.

Watch out all Pulsar Mania guys!!!

Learn to Live up to de Expectation of Oneself First !!!

2008-05-05T19:03:00.000-07:00

Hi all,

I feel that in de present scenario where expectation of ppl on an individual keeps on rising right from the childhood of an individual to the expectation of top officials @ de work place. Individual oneslef had to fight for it to keep up the expectation of others and i think its necessary that de person had to keep up the expectation of himself first. Parents expecting a child to top up in de academics and if the child had not performed up to their expectation of the parents, then i have seen the parents comparing with the child friend or any relative and i feel it that being the biggest demotivation for the child. The one thing that i hate the most is the "Comparison" in dis world. I fell that every individual who has born in dis world has unique talent of his own and it is essential that the parents let them allow their child to act accordingly, as they have their dream of their own and parents need to realise that the child is trying hard to meet the expectation of himself/herself.

Its the expectation of one ppl over another led to root cause of all the pblm as one fails to meet up to de expectation of other one and that led to de disappointment. I feel it better to expect least from others. I feel that in de present world which is so competitive, each individual had to set the expectation level high himself and he need to act accordingly to achieve the expected level been set.

"Dont' lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality."

My Outing with my MOM....

2008-03-31T10:45:00.000-07:00

Hi all,

Last weekend i had a gr8 time... Its been a very long time since i had a outing with my mom... Cant even remember when it happend last time back... It was my cousin who initiated de whole thing... Me, my mom along with my cousin and his wife went 4 de Venki temple @ Tnagar in de morning and had our lunch outside in de Saravan Bhavan hotel. Then we returned back and in de evening we went to Ashtalakshmi Koil near besant nagar beach and then we proceeded to de sea shore.

My mom especially had a gr8 time since its her visit to besant nagar beach and she was very eager to wet her legs in sea waves water and i could see her reactions which was just like a child who enjoys the waves and de nature of beauty... being a gr8 Tamil kavithai writer herself, she enjoyed de scenic beauty of de beaches and de boats which were riding on them. I was very happy to c her enjoying de time @ sea shore as she had rarely visited any scenic beauty places in her life till now as she had spend his major part of life working as a teacher and spent most of her lifetime in my hometown,Kumbakonam.

It was a gr8 feeling 4 me to take my mom for a outing. Thnks to my cousin for his initiation...

Few snapshots in de beaches.....

My Cousin and my MOM....

Me,My Cousin and My Mom...

Any Guess wat i am doing? Good snap by my cousin... Looking gr8... Is tat so.....

My 1st blog in dis yr.... New yr started with mixed back feelings.

2008-03-02T08:58:00.000-08:00

Hi all,

Its been long back since i had updated my blog and it is the 1st one in dis new yr. I decided to write abt all de things tat happened dis new yr till date.
On the eve of the new yr night i went 4 de outing with my roomie and his frnds and we celebrated de new yr with a mixed back feeling for few reasons which is not wise enough to be disclosed. After de new yr 31st night it was the beginning of 1st day of de new yr and it went calmly after de rather unforgettable night. I went to my uncle 's house as me and my cousin who got married recently were invited for de lunch and we had a gr8 lunch and then i returned back in de evening to my room to take rest(need of hr). had a sound sleep and de follow up 2 weeks went quitely although something in my health was troubling and i didn't take care to look after my health. And then i proceeded to travel to my native for de pongal holidays and de event tat followed up was rather torrid time.
I went to my family doctor after my cousin detected that my eyes were yellowish and
i had de blood test which confirmed "Jaundice". I had to be nearly one and half months off from office and also from my normal life as i undergone all kinds of treatment for jaundice from allopathy, Yunani, Traditional (Natti Marundhi) and finally it got reduced a week back fully and i am slowly getting back to normal routine life.
The big lesson tat i learnt from dis is not only it affected physically my body but it showed the ignorance of me to luk after my health. I feel tat in de present scenario where ppl are engaged with their hectic work schedule and they r not taking care of their health. Its better to consult de doctor even if u had a lightest of fever or any minor which u may assume it as a minor but it may lead to some serious pblm. In my case doctor predicted tat jaundice wud have started 2 weeks before and because of late diagnosis it had taken a toll on me to recover after such a long period. So its better to consult doctor @ de initial stage itself to get dignosis the pblm.

Its been rather a low new yr to start with and i am hoping to have a good times ahead.

Marriage - A new beginning in once life...

2007-12-09T02:13:00.000-08:00

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 !!!

2007-10-25T11:27:00.000-07:00

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 !!!

2007-10-10T00:27:00.001-07:00

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.....

2007-10-04T12:07:00.000-07:00

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!!!

2007-08-26T04:33:00.000-07:00

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...

Abt Madras Week - Starting by Aug'19.

2007-08-21T10:15:00.000-07:00

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

2007-07-28T06:15:00.001-07:00

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!!!

2007-07-19T09:00:00.000-07:00

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

2007-07-05T00:08:00.000-07:00

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....

While Trekking

The trekking was pretty gud exp 4 all of us...It
had taken something out of e'body when we returned... While one de way of trekking i slept half way and i didnt carry till the peak point and many others in my team went and they had a wonderful view of scenic beauty from there...

Good Old Mate!!!

The 1st day trip ended... And in the night we watched thala movie "Sivaji" - Pera Kettala Summa Athiruthula!!!

The 1st day ended... Other thing happened @ the night censored!!!

The 2nd day journey started auspiciously by visiting the kurinji temple...

Near the "Kurinji Temple"

Then we went to coakers walk, shopping
and boating...Boating exp was amazing
as we all set to launch 4 the race... Ready Get Set Go!!!
We all pedal the boat in a row,
as if we all trying to pedal faster to win the race... Had a gr8 fun 4 an hr or so...
Then it was around 6:30pm and we finished
all our fun and got back to room and
boarded to van to reach dindugal and from
there to get back to chn...

And as usual the next week started with
the routine stuff and it was gr8 exp
4 the 2 days which gave us an opportunity
to enjoy @ the most and exp the
difference from their normal life...

SALUTING THE REAL HEROES !!!

2007-06-25T21:11:00.000-07:00

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!!!

2007-06-23T12:30:00.000-07:00

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

Back to CHN after 8 months of stay in BLR

2007-06-20T00:34:00.000-07:00

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"...
