A day trip wid my team !

Its tat time of the year when u dont feel like doing any work rather sleep in home. Its raining outside while i make this post. The climate is too good out here. After an outing with my college ppl , its time for one with my team. So idea of team outing started a week back. Lots of group chats were made (actual purpose was abt the outing, but lots of other things also happnd in the chats), places were suggested, means of travel, ppl count, food, date etc.. etc..Finally it was decided to go to Gopalaswamy Betta on Nov 7th – A place which is arnd 80 kms from Mysore. Everyone was excited about the trip simply because we are going out as a team. Many of us has not been to that place before except very few banglore frenz.As planned we started around 5 in the morning from our office. It was raining at that time. 18 ppl agreed to come but unfortunately one of the members coudnt make it, reason – None could wake him up (Seems he was drowned in his dreams.. ) . Hope he makes it next time at least or better we start late.. On the way to the place we had our break fast in Mysore. Not to forget our mini break fast (idly + tomato chutney !!) prepared by one of our frenz which we had around 7o clk. It was really nice of her to wake up at one o clk in the morning and prepare food for us. It was gud. We had a galla time during the travel playing anthakshari, dumb charades etc. Special mention about our driver, except cycle every other vehicle chased us.. Finally We reached the place arnd 11 30. The place was jus lyk a hill station. Cloud cover all over, mist around u, drizzle falling on your face, greenaries as a blanket, giant hills standing in front .. wow the place was so amazing and beautiful. Nature at its best. Watch out on both the sides as u drive up the hills. Actually there was a krishna temple at the hill top. After visiting it, we started to trek/walk in the clouds and take snaps around the place. Beauty of the place is difficult to explain. It was lovely. We tuk lots of snaps and left the place around 4. After having our lunch, we just visited Mysore palace and enjoyed the lightings of the palace. Palace was as usual amazing. We returned back to our office by mid night. The day was too gud. Everyone had a great time. The trip ended wid our dinner at McDonalds at 12o clk in the night.

Who are those we?? Senthil(organiser), Logesh(financier), Eshwar, Shankar, Abhinav, Abhishek, Vadiraj, Chekov, Vivek, Rupan, Yashwant, Biswajeet(our alarm ), Neha, Bharathy, Seema (Suggested the place), Monisha (our cooker ) and me.

Ninaithale Inikkum :)

Its been over 4 months since i started wrking. Lyf is going smooth and nice. Getting exposure to lot of things, moving wid new set of ppl, doing your own day to day work etc.. Everything is fine and beautiful but still i do miss certain things here. My friends in school and college, my sweet mom and dad, hostel room 87 (i am a day scholar thou), cricket, getting beatings frm my dear frnds (naanga rombha naalavanga… evalavu adichalaum thaanguvom..), lunch at ascendas, bun’s bike ride, getting caught in class either for putting mokkai or listening to some (class la matrathu enga group ku oru hobby ).. oh… hell lots of small things I miss here. Its fun out here in office too, but I cant get those which I badly miss. Food in Banglore ( atleast near my home) is not good (dunno how thy put jaggery in everything except in water thou.) Taste here is different. All less spicy. Ennathan inga saaptalum athu ammavoda samayal mathiri varathu. Hmmm the result is I ve started cooking for dinner and weekends. Our college canteen was damn gud wen compared to hotels out here (anga oru juice kudichalum athu frenz oda kudipom.). Dint go for movies here (except for one movie, evalavu kastapattu antha movie parthen enakuthan theriyum.I was getting scoldings thru out the movie .. ).Miss Satyam theatre where I saw many movies during coll. hmm… wanna get back and live those days again. My school life and my fends out there was even more enjoyable. But its in college I discovered more abt me. Conference calls is the main medium of our preparation for our assesments in college. The nite before assessments some one would start the call (generally one of the person involved in the conf call wud fail in the assess the next day.. it happens so.. ) . At the start of the call topic would be regarding our studies, but as clock ticks, we start pulling each other or talk abt gals, movies, sports or some non sense… (ithayum thaandi naanga markum vaanguvom ..). Can I live that life atleast for a day again ?? Coughing during attendence so that ppl will miss thr call (enna oru nalla ennam !! ), scotlandyard at siva’s place, downloading projects at bun’s place (sorry doing projects.. ) etc.. etc.. Lots of sweet memories to think about. Many of my frenz are either working or doing higher studies. Hope we all meet soon and have fun.. Guys if I ve missed ne sweet things (have missed lots.. ) share it here.. Lets atleast njoy reading those as of now…

Yaahooo V made it finally!!

hi ppl…. its been really long since i made a post.Bangalore lyf is no more new. Every day is just another ordinary day at office. We have been making hell lot of plans for weekends from the time we joined office. But none worked out. Finally we made one successful. ya its about our one day trip to Mysore. 16 of us (13 from our company and 3 from oracle) went for a day outing last Saturday. We started around 4 30 from bangalore in a cab that had been arranged. Luckily every one made it to the starting place on time. As planned we reached Srirangapatnam aroun 7 30. On our way to Srirangapatnam the travel was fun-filled, with ppl singing* and dancing. Trip started with our visit to Ranganathaswamy temple. The temple was pretty old one and it opened around eight. We tuk snaps thr nd had our break fast. After that we went to sangam (place where three rivers meet) , Tippu sultan’s summer palace, and Gumbaz (Tippu and his family buriyal place). all the places were near by and we finished it around 10 30. After that we headed to Chamundi hills. Every one was keen on giving pose , pulling others during the travel.
Chamundi hills gives u one of the best scenic view of the city.We visited Chamundeshwari temple and had gud dharshan. As it was starting day of dhushera the temple was crowded a bit. There was a function at the temple where Karnatka CM and Pandit Ravishankar of Art of living fame attended. So every one of us had a glimpse of the two and headed for lunch. Lunch was not gud except for the ice creams or may be we chose a wrong hotel.It was two and we started for the Grand Mysore palace. Seems public is allowed to go inside the palace oly between 2 to 5 30. so we dint want to miss the view inside the palace.
We got into the palace aroud 2 30 and stayed for two hours. Every one was spell bounded by the architectural brilliance of the palace (hmmm nammalum rajava irunthurukalamo!!!! ) oh man!!! wat a lyf it wud ve been to live a day atleast inside that magnificient palace (ennathan nadakathunu therinchurunthum, dis wat many felt after seeing it ).. so wat next?? It started drizzling as we left the palace. We went straight to Balamuri falls. Though it was pretty small, it did have its beauty. Wid cloud cover, water flowing in front, drizzles on ur face, everything was sweet. All enjoyed the damn cool dark climate. It was six fifteen wen we started to brindavan gardens – our final place of visit. As usual gardens were terrific under lights, lott of flowers, its musical fountains etc.. Place was very much crowded. Hmmmm finally it was eight and we started back to bangalore. It was raining heavily during our return travel and we reached safe around 11 30. Sad thing is we dint stop for dinner as we wanted to reach back sooner due to rains.
Finally we made a plan and more imp we executed it.. hurray!! the trip on the whole was nice and pleasant with out any hiccups or problems. hope our plan gets executed every time we put one (kastam than… irunthalum oru chinna aasai)

* The songs that were sung was dedicated to one of our frnds chekov for his so called one sided luv?gal?sight? (aaahhh i dunno wat to call tat)..

One more thing that got everyone s eye (in d sense it terrified some , it was enjoyed by some) in our trip was the synch in which 2 ppl (monisha nd aish) laughed. But wat in a laughter u may feel.. It cant be described,only wen u see , u will know about it !!

Ps:
Who r those We?? Chekov, Vibin, Kishore, Shanky, muthu, Raja, PK, Prashy, Prasana, Shyam, Srinath, CV, aish, Usha, monisha and me…

First day in Office!!

Its been long time since my last post. been a pretty hectic one month. Final year proj, reviews, Semester exams, cousin marriage etc… nd to top tat my joinin date wid Starent Networks was on may 18th. College got over on may 10th only. Thought of posting one after my first day. but no time..
Totally new atmosphere, new friends(thou i know all the ppl who joining along wid me..). I was pretty excited as well as little unhappy(no holidays after 4 yrs of college life.. ).. Nobody in my gang is wid me now. But tats life. U never know whom u ll be wid for long. ppl come nd go in the journey called life..(chumma thathuvamlam illa..).
Some 10 ppl from our coll were given accomodation in luxury apartments(rent is 8k per day) by our firm. The apartment was fully furnished wid washing mach, tv in all bed rooms, internet etc. Swimming pool, Basket ball courts etc.. and ofcourse lots of gals in and around my apartments. About the climate in bangalore, morning for three hrs sun smiles after tat heavy rain, cold winds till night. But its nice thou..
my first day in office went really well. No work, just orientations by senior ppl. One of the best things is we r provided wid food 3 times a day – break fast, lunch, snacks . Add to tat beverages at ne time. Our company spans over four floors. me in 7th floor along wid some of my frnds. Timings is flexible but it shud account for 9 hours.. Luking for flats and local sim is wat we are doing for last two days apart from going to office. Everyone has their own cabin. Lots to say about wat happend..But nothing comes to mind now. Dunno wat to type. Will catch up l8r wid more posts.. Its time to get ready for office dudes.. bye…

y college life is more lovely nd lively in the final sem??

Only three months left in my four years of college life. More responsible life awaits after this 4 wonderful years in college. But the final semester of my college is really amazing filled wid more happiness, friends, tears, enjoyment wen compared to previous semesters. I dunno y i feel like this. But many ve this feeling i suppose. Inspite of assessments, assignments, projs still we are enjoying to the core. There is life beyond studies, marks. Living every moment to the fullest is wat i learnt in this semester. But this doesnt mean i dint njoy other semesters. I learnt more about me in these four short years. This semester is very special. Going out for lunch almost always, pulling and getting pulled, small fights, big care, classes(appdina??) etc. wow this is truly a great feeling. The sad part is, this life is only for three more months. cha innum koncha naal extra iruntha nalla irukum. After tat every person has their own ambitions, responsibilities etc. What ever happens life has to move on. . Hope every one gets what thy wish for!!Lots to say, but nothing coming to mind right now.
..Dunno y i made a post on this topic..

Techofes – license to sight(not much to see thou)

Techofes is the mega national level culturals conducted in our college. It started off with the inauguration by ‘Ilayathalapathy’ Vijay. He was very sharp to arrive (though some one and half hours late..).The OAT was overflowing wid students, both vijay and anti-vijay fans. After giving a short speech he sang a song and left . Dunno how many of the students were real fans of him as there were shouts kalaichufying him more than applausing him. The second day had concert by Hariharan ji. The concert turned out to be a gals concert as he sang only melody songs and guys dint have much fun. Its true one cannot expect kuthu songs from hari. But still he was not at his best for sure. Seems he thought it was a fashion parade as he changed three to four dresses during the 3 hour concert. Though all songs were a massive hit, it was not catchy wen he performed live. Many felt it was a let down by him though hell lot of gals enjoyed to the core. Not to forget about the compere Riya (Isaiaruvi), she dint host well(attire was gud though). Hope the choreo nite tommorrow rockz.:)

Delhi 6

Lot was expected of this movie. Mehra diretion, ARR music, new lead pair etc. I watched it wid new set of frnds.It was bit different to watch movie wid them(none knew hindi well, but enjoyed most). So wats the movie about? Does it live upto the expectations? actually no..It was a let down by Mehra. It begins wid Abhishek(abhi) who takes his ailing grand ma from America to old Delhi(her native) where she wants to live her last days. Though initially hesitant to live in India, abhi likes the style of living as the story goes. The first half is a tribute to delhi 6(now chandini chowk). There is a news about a monkeyman that attacks and kills people(main theme is also related to this monkeyman). Cinematography is awesome. The story (actually nothing much) moves at a slow phase. Sonam, as abhi’s neighbour plays the female lead and wants to be the indian idol one day. She is cute and has done justice to her role. Abhi has nothing much to work on, he plays his character wid ease, though his american accent is not lively. Director has packed many stuffs wid in the 2 hour movie which makes it a bit complex. The main theme that the director wants to say is not conveyed effectively.
But watch it for one man – AR Rahman. wow… wat a scintilating music. All songs are awesome(picturisation of songs a let down).

Story line: Every person has both good and evil inside him.So if any evil is to be killed, it lies inside every person and not outside.
running time: 2 hr 18 mins
chemistry between lead pairs:  (2/5)
Music:(10/5) (too good!!)
story and narration: (3/5)
overall rating: (3/5).

PS: No clarifications on this post is entertained.

Its Oscar Day!!

Finally its the day of oscars. Whole of india and all ARR fans around the globe are waiting eagerly for him to take home the oscar lady. The chances are very very bright for him to win it. Three nominations to his credit – two for best song, and one for best music score.
But is Slumdog the best of his compositions? many dont think so. The genius has given us more breathtaking music than jai ho, be it Roja, Bombay, Thiruda thiruda(background score), list goes on. So y oscar for this alone? He shud ve got many oscars if jai ho deserves one. Ne way its better late than never. Lets pray Rahman wins it and does whole of India proud.

Mitafest 09

Mitafest is a cultural fest held in mit.As part of dis there was concerts by anuradha sriram(anu) and karthik. me and my frnd(siva) went for d concert. It took place in open audi(though very small). siva got tickets for us thru his frnd(we did not pay for the tickets). He got a bulb while entering the coll. His frnd asked us to collect tickets at d entrance.

siva: Ah..excuse me.. actually my frnd has got tickets for us, and she is studying in this coll(in peter english)
one of the volunteers: machan etho olaran paru… enna nu keluda…
siva: Athavathu en frnd tickets vangiruka , unga kitta collect pannika sonnaga anna…
other volunteer: Appadi theliva sollu…(v got tickets nd went inside..)

concert already started.Wen we saw d seating arrangement we were bit surprised – very strong barigades separating boys nd gals wid staffs standing in the middle(namma college paravala pola!!).. Anu was singing very melodious songs though she is known for kuthu songs. v dint like it much. to say d truth it was a let down.
We went to eat. lots of ice creams, juice and chats was our dinner. our mit frnds – sha’s(shankar nd sharanya) bought us everything in their account( so tickets, food etc.. was oc ).Every one was waiting for karthik’s rock show to begin. But siva alone was feeling. oh y?? The reason was that he felt he dint have ne GF till now and that he has wasted his coll life.:P.. After some hiccups the show started around 9 30. He started wid his trademark oru maalai frm ghajini and went on to rock the show for next 2 hours. He was the only main singer accompanied by two dolls for female voice. The band was superb(particulary the guitarist). Karthik really rocked the show nd mit was dancing wid joy. He brought amazing energy nd enthu in every song, be it fast paced aasai nooru vagai, melody nila kaigirathu or folk anjala(crowd’s fav). The show got over by 11 30.It was a high voltage performance on the whole by the entire team. We (some frnds frm hostel) came back to our coll around 12 30 nd the day was over.
