Yet another brilliant screen play by the king Bagyaraj.... a pleasing satrday evng watchng Parijatham in the PVR... the class A sound system (Sonodyne) makes the movie a treat to watch... it was mom,me and 4 of my frnds been ther wth out any expectation about the movie...i jus wanna take my mom to some tamil cinema and this was a double flavour....the song unnai kandanay is catchy wth Daran's (new entry) music...

words have many meanings and i have seen these only in the dictionary....u gotto pop in to play and understand the defntn.....which literally happend last sunday 11 june '06.... i shud say the best, adventurous, thrilling and exciting mountaneering i ever experienced...

the capital thrill is the whole trip is unplanned....it was saturday, we had good cricket the morning and sleepin out all day as always....the same nite we even went around and gotta carrom board to have a good change in the weekend schedules.....all on a sudden some one had a flash in ther cerebellum.... 'machi...why not lez go to sme place and freak out..' , oh well makes sense (tho it is non sense) to me... 'yesssss' i yelled out.....'i am in too', other guy popped out of the room.....my happiness alrdy started crossing limits...'machi don leave me', one another thaz it we decided.....' wer do we go??? hmmm...my frnds been for trekking to malaya marutha which is abslte thrill wer u can find indias third largest downpour...lets start google those and see if that cud help' oh man this is cool....i was so startled and started cracking google alrdy....we all charted out key places...malaya marutha, hanuman gundi, charmadi, alaynkan falls, ujire, dharmasthala.....

we then started packin up....i don wanna use shoes (i thought i will b fine wth sandals...) and 3 of us did so...camera charged...cash withdrawn...all we need is to rush to majestic bus station....in next 2 hours we wer ther in the bus station....we managed to get 4 golden seats to dharmasthala...the bus isnt a joke...it was a serious pain in my a** nite was lengthy for me wth no sleep...next mrng we wer in dharmasthala charging up for the unplanned future for the day.... we startd enquirng abt the alaynkan falls but no one have any idea...so we decided to go to charmadi and then ask out...we rchd till ujire and even ther ppl dont kno....but one jeep driver sed he knos other falls whch is good trek spot....we thought no more blunt travel and lets stick to this place....this falls is "bandaraja arpi" located 18 kms away from ujire.....(ujire is 8 km away from dharmastala)...

we all finished the break fast and loaded the back pack with food packets, vodka and pepsi bottles..... the jeep started rolling and after 10 kms we feel like we are in some inhabbited island.....we feel the smell of the western ghats as a cup of coffee after 8 hours office.. ;) so refreshing and so energitic alrdy.... the valleys are real catchy ones and i wonder will i have the wish to get back to traffic after seeing this....we are now 8 kms away from the mountain and we cannot find any sign of human existance...we alrdy heard a lots abt this section of ghats few are here...

• 3 tourists went in last week haven't returned (told by conductor in majestic)
• naxelites prone area (told by my frnds alrdy been ther)
• abslte dangerous wth wild predators (almost every one told this)

as we all dynamic, courageous and stupids for some reason ;) we never cared and more thrilled to see this...we started discussing the fail safe procedure (come on... we all literates!!!) ooops...we reached the entry point....and the land mark is a lovely jungle house ...looks like more ppl living in this part....good we got a shelter if anything goes wrong...my mate immediately clicked the place....the jeep driver given few handy instructions and tips ...he promised he'll b back arnd 4 pm to pick us....the jeep sailed away in the H2O occupied slushy soil....we turned back to the mountain...now we slowly started feelin the scare (all we waited for...)

i immedly changed myself....got my 3/4 th and sleeveless on ....tighten the backup....drinks on the hands...lets move....the place was an absolute bliss...we started shouting dancing and singing all the way...the forest was real wild and gettin more and more denser as we walkng.... we saw a little hut after 15 mins navigation and the mates living ther showd the direction...the way is completely scrambled and we gotto backtrack few times.....

at one point we wer stuck and i was looking for better way to progress.....HOLY SHITTTT!!! therz a leech in my leg....i never seen one crawling in my foot ever before in my life and i screamed at first instance...however i havent felt any pain....every one else wer little scared...one of the mates jus plucked it and throwd it away...we thought we gotto b carefull....nothng stopped our invasion tho...we still kept walking...slowly every had couple of leeches....and we found out the reason...wen ever we stop for a minte rest therz sure a couple of leeches get sticks in to our body....so we decided not to halt the body movement at any point....

now, this is the moment of pain and agony....

one of us alrdy tired and worried...i was quite excited still as i havent been a big victim of leeches...we walkd for another 1 hour and finally we sensed the water flow around and ther it is....we still havent gone to the main falls as we don have any idea abt how far is that...we alrdy climbed 7 kms and we are exhausted as we cannot rest any wer...we gathered in a rock and started making a leech check in the body and found atleast half a dozen in every one apart from those crawling on the way....god damn...those flippin predators starts growin as they drink more blood....i clicked my own feet....blood all over the rocks and we decided not to take any bath or move any further ....the sky slowly gettin dark and the fear factor is rising up....

ive read some wer...alcohol is the big enemy of leeches...i opened a vodka bottle and poured a bit on a leech and the experiment was success (i kno my ethics is not to kill any livings...but im not good enuf to giv my life to save smethng else) i have no other choice...we all opend the vodka and poured it all over the body to protect ourselves...and started moving down to the best speed...the way down was really steep and things are not easy at all...

• no proper sleep last nite..
• body pain all over alrdy
• 1 hour walk in the dense forest
• on top of that all 1 hour we wer climbing in the mountain
• blood oozing out for every one
• tired tired more tired....god save us

felt the adrenaline already and all our target was get back to the entry poin asap...i missed the bath :( after 30 mins struggle we found the hut in the middle of the forest....the chap ther was kind enuf and showed us a leech free zone wer in we cud have a decent bath and yessss.....sense of relaxation havent been better...we all jus jumped in and had a long bath to ease the pain.....no one have felt the hunger until that point...we started opening the food packets and eaten up as we are in the water flow....

later got back and got dressed up...still 20 mins journey left to get the feet of the mountain....we all are quite relaxd how ever and more over we hav crossed those evil predator's zone... one of us thought wat happen if some one fainted at the hill top for some reason.....the unanymous answer "death!!! precisely in 1 hour" the leeches will have a good nights treat .... oh my!!!

we all happy now and singed our way back down.....we reached the pick up point arnd 4 and the jeep was 15 mins late....we jus feared wat happens if the jeep doesnt come...uhhhhhhhhh :-o we all wer exhausted and rushed our way back to dharmastala bus station....we immdly gotta local bus back to bangalore...again jam packed fulla pain....we any way happy to b back wth out any major trauma....we wer back in banglore arnd 2.30....and back home arnd 3 am.....i was all happy until i thought of this "I NEED TO GET UP IN 3 HOURS AND GO TO OFFICE"

:)

the weekendz gonna start in few hours...not really lookin forward...i really dont kno how am feeling....weekend is slowly turning out terribly boring piece of life....i think am gonna watch fanaa tonite....not anticipating cricket really nowadays as i feel myself too useless in cricket... (i think i need tea ;))

Pudhupetai and Davinicci code....

really really busy days goin on in ma life...wth projects on top of the head i was so desperate for a break....i was so glad to kno my frnd booked pudhupetai in pvr on friday...sooo that was a real booster and started anticipating for the evng to arrive ....my office/room mate and me drived to PVR on time and chilling out at transit in forum...wow !!! man..... i like the place... soon all the amigos popped in...

and we cracked in to the screen...i always like the sound in pvr and cherish every moment im in ther....last movie i watchd ther was Rang de Basanti, sure a big treat for screwd up ones ;) this time i was guessing to have more fun...that too wth all the best movie buffs around... the movie started well and kept good phase until the intervel...after that i was feeling like walking out of the cinema...neva thought will b such a crap 2nd half....i liked the music and the cinematography of the movie....gives a feel like watchng a hollywood movie....lengthy movie is always a real pain in the neck...this is no lesser...ahhhhhh....we all felt totally screwd wen walkng out...

the next day it was the davincci code day.....evng show again and we wer chilling out all day doin nothing.....not even cricket...the chill wther makes living things lazy a lot.... the davincci code is a good theme ....all abt unlocking the symbols and codes to find out the holy grail.....ive read few chapters in the book and the movie is not an exact replica tho....hoe ever, i appreciate the cinematography and the screenplay....

sunday was all strenuous playing cricket both in the mrng and evng...i din feel the excitement tho it was an entertaining week end....

Spiritual Weekend :)

can't b very excited tho.... the weekend was all a different...20 may (saturday) was my bday... and this time very unusually was too quite... am so happy, for da first time in ma life i gotta call from my dad at 12 midnite......wishing me....followed by my bro and that really was a booster for me as i neva expcted them to wish me at dat time...no shouts, no cakes, no bangs nothng this time...it was all quite and i really liked this silence ...was watchng movie all nite (i always do on weekends) slept late....next mrng gotup and my mom rushed me to dress up and ther starts my temple saga....

my homies wished me and slowly i strtd gettin calls all over ..... felt a bit happy as they still rmber this date tho am not wiv any of those fr atleast past 8 months... off to temple (ragi gudda) near by as my mom booked for a pooja at 11 ....which is way lengthy and we all made sit for hours.....i liked it for my mums satisfaction....then back home and slept all day....later gatherd my mates to a near by restrnt to cherish the day....

the next day again the temple visits continued...this time i got my frnds car and started the journey wth my mom, my other house mate and her grandmom....it was a pretty hectic to drive even in a clean sunday ...however thaz the best option if u wanna take elderly ladies to anywer.... this time its ISKCON and this is my 3rd time visit and i really anticipated this visit as i always like the ambience in the temple....

ISKCON

Later proceded to tha anjaneya temple nearer to ISKCON....i hate the parking thingy every wer as it really was a big 'pain in the neck' work... then we wer heading to bull temple which is quite far from ISKCON.... we aptly reachd govardan temple jus before it closes...the temple is quite different as its been set up like shri krishna lifting the mountain to save the villagers....and finally we got in to bull temple which is pretty catchty wth amazing parks surrounded....

The royal ladies in Basavangudi :)

Back hme arnd late after noon....was really tired to do anything else and slept again....that ends our 'tour of temples' tour and the spiritual weekend.... the weekend was indeed different and it was a 'silent bliss' for me all 2 days.... :)

when going gets tuf....tuf gets goin... :(

Yesterday i shud say one of the pretty strenuous day in ma life...this week so far being pretty tight wth my project in peak stage.....new issues raising one after the other and that really pissing me off...n e way....i have no other choice and part of the adventure i presume ;) ive been wrkng 8 am to 7 pm (very unusual me stayng this longed every day...) this week and yday i was totally tired after work.....i wrapped up arnd 6.55 and slowly sailing out to the gates....freaking hell !!! rain ....i like rain but not wth my office bag in my shoulders....more over this is no time for fun as i am so tired...uhhh....i managed to make a good 2 min run to get the bus and damn it!!!!! the bus has not cme yet.......wat the ***** .....well i jus got in to anther bus to save myslf from any sorta infectionssssss ......then i found therz no bus yday to my route and instead therz a swaraj mazda holdin my route number.....

oh man i hade swaraj mazda's as it is not da kinda vehicle for 6 footers like me.....i felt the frusturation already and hoping to get a window seat and no one near me (only then i can be atleast half comfrtble....) why all happening to me one by one...the vehicle is packed and i cant even get a decent seat .....slowly i managed to park myself somewer in that mess.....the shuttle normally leaves 10 mins late so as not to miss any one...yday more terrible, its 7.30 pm and still the shuttle stays calm and cool.....we all are deftly not... i hate these yellow bulbs inside the swaraj mazda's ...givs me sick feeling yo...all windows wer locked, i was half drenched, 70% carbon monoxide inside the vehicle, yellow bulb.......alll irritates me and i slowly thnkng of giving up and get back to office so that i can book a cab later at nite.....well i was too tired and lazy to give a go.....i was still confused how ever....

the tires started rolling slowly arnd 7.40 pm.....15 mins i was seated inside, started feelin the pain alrdy at my back.....i cant stretch my legs either as another six footer in the next seat's aisle occupied the foot stretch area in the middle.....he gave me a dirty look as if he occupied the taj mahal for his girl friend....the gentle man in the window seat (left side of me) kind enuf to open the window tho ther was droplets nagging him....i got some breath and that too cool oxygen...soon after 5 mins the shuttle left the office we narrowly caught in a bloody, flippin, crap traffic which is moving at the rate of 5 inch for every 10 mins.....i just rewinded myself an hour back ..."yes less than a hour am gonna b in the cozy bus under the heavy rain and am gonna read the ON@TCC book and i always luv such an ambience to read my fav author" .....wake up aravindh now u r in the middle of uncertnty about wen u gonna move 10 feet away from wer u r....

"the moment of pain" all over my body is killing me and i have to kill the time so i unwillingly opened the book to read with lotsa intrst on the story .....the book, tho not as intrstng as 5.some 1, still kept me thrilled to continue reading....and as a flavour to the pain some one requested for radio and ther u go loud kannada songs (i din mean to bash the songs but this alien music doesnt make any sense of comfortness to me) ....i took out my mp3 player and stuck wth my ear and playng my own music collection...i thought music is far better than noice...how ever i don encourage both wen reading something... the book is the only heaven (setril pootha senthaamarai ;)) in between these series of hell hell hell.....it was quite intrstng to carry on and i lost myself ignoring all my other prblm in ther....

ther was how ever one line in this book really made me smile

~~bla bla bla ~~~~. Guys always know when to shut up. ~~~ bla bla bla ~~~~

wow man, this sentence i always tell to girls wen im pissed off wiv dem....i pity the guy who sed that. ;) ....ok gettin back to my adventure, as i slowly feel that i cant bear this pain for more than 10 mins i saw we approaching the BTM which is relatively arnd 15 mins travel from my place....now that gave me a little boost and i further (unwillingly) studying...i din wanted to read this faster as i wanted to feel the comfort of the story and don wanna finish it soon.....soo i have the habbit of reading jus one chapter on my way back home...but today i pushed to finish 6 chapters with 100% regret.... :( ... only choice to forget the so called "Frusturation" im undergoin that time....

I finally decided to close the book after 6th chapter no matter how long i have to bear other pain....and god finally for his fun showed some mercy ...ive reachd the place in 10 mins after i closed the book....i rechd home arnd 9 pm and thaz it i had dinner like crazy and crashed the bed..... so cool outside, cozy bed and pain all over my body ...wat more 1 need to catch a quick sleep....

Crappy Weekend...

Oh man... waz happening in my life??? why am i feeling so sick now wth this bloody intrstngly crap week end.....uhhhh.....

Friday night was fine, ive reached home around 8.30 and my frnds mom was ther ready wth the dinner wth a huge menu....the dinner was fine and so the late nite chat wth frnds .... i was so tired and soon (2.00 am ;)) went asleep....nxt mrng 6 o clk the cricketttting time arrived and we all anticipated a dry ground to have a good game and the place is relatively ok but my team isn't....

our teams top fielder and one other top bowler are in ther US tour and so we really had huge pressure being only 3 key players in my team ......i was looking forward to giv a good show...but very ironically i cant make a great play and i strtd feeling down alrdy....the 3rd match was pretty close but still we lost and end of the game it was a bloody 3-0 loss for us.... (come on...smbdy get me coffee )

later got back home and we all wer pretty down wth this non appreciable performance....any way i soon caught my sleep (i really needed it) ..... mngd to get up at arnd 5 and the whole evng was messy, doing nothing and chatting wth frnds.....havent even watched my fav star's movie TAMIZHAN properly as i was in no mood for anything....uhhhhhh

sunday arrived and again it all was like same for me... i sat wiv my laptop to finish up pending office wrk and then thought of cooking garlic mushroom that evng....been wth my frnd for a shopping ....god damn !!! i forgot to get garlics for garlic mushrooms....things cant go worse...i then started cooking mushroom-sweetcorn curry wthout any actual commitment.... :( the dish how ever appreciated by frnds wasnt my kind and i realized tht wth out even tasting it.... jus had 4 chappathi's so as to keep me alive for the evng....

nothing exctng happend this weekend and im desperate for some kinda break in my life.... ;)

Is "blogging", a mear waste of time???

ohhh..well...this is a point nudging me for a while....is blogging really fr the ppl to pass ther time... i strongly suggest not...coz im here now bloggin in the middle of my busy project wrk goin on...i love to blog, infact blogging slowly goin as the part of my office life...i always had a crush to write diariesss but for sme reason iam so lazy to store the dry in 1 plce and find a pen every day to update.....sooo this amazng blogging thingy is like a boon for me and so ther are lotsa uses of blogging (atleast for me)

1. the date(s) of the life's important events are stored in some means so that i can recall those by jus having a quick search.....(recently i did to find out wen exctly weve been on coorg trip)

2. a way to let ya frnds kno waz happening in ya life (u don have to tell every 1 the same stuff rite) specially to those living abroad and whom u don talk or chat very often....

3. to share ya views on certain issues (whch am doin as of now)

4. to relax in between (if incase u r a busy busy one all time)

5. i feel i can read a person's character to an extent by reading his blog (dunno if am rite)

6. for me its like talkng to myself and feel so rejunevated once i publish my blog and invariably it boosts my enthu and keeps me energitic.... ;)

7. you can even know yr frnds views on yr blog wth the so special comments tag...(i like it)

few of my frnds often picks the micky outta me im doin blog as i don hav any thng else to do and am jus killing the time by this means.....i never used to take these seriously as i feel they don mean it...but few mite b thnkg this way.... wat ever may b the case i don wanna stop blogging, no matter how busy i am....it all takes an average 10 to 15 mins to create a blog and i think am doin on an average of 2-3 blogs a week....sooooo if u thnk spndng 45 mins a week altogether to jot down the happenings or views in ya life then i think u seriously need some tea...... :)

p.s: this is only my opinion and u don hav to agree wiv me ...how ever i wud like to kno ya comments on this issue as i really do respect others views too.... ;)

about the happenings in my life.....last nite was a heavy down pour in bangalore and the place was an absolute heaven.....i always love to drink tea watching heavy rain outside my window and last evng i was in my office coffee corner havng fun wth a cuppa tea and the huge glass wall looks like jus made for my taste makng up a huge display of shower outside....i din wanted to work....... :)

an evening wth an ENT doc.

oh well a lot better today...yesterday was seriously miserable...i left home early as i decided to catch up an ENT specialist to fix my flippin ear...thank god my roomie was home wth his bike got fixd...and he agreed to take me to doc.... man i owe him atleast a 'kadalamuttai' ;)

ive been to a ENT specialist about a km away from home and it is not appreciably a big place....i popped in...i duuno wen ive been to a doc last wth health problem (i seriously don rember...i was always healthy) the doc. was an old guy sitting wth a broad smile wth room doors opened (naathaan mothal boni nu nenaikarayn) ... then i cracked in tellin about my ear problem....he was so polite and i dunno for some reason ther wasnt n e smile after dat...he then slowly murmered "which ear?" , i was uncomfrtble "god damn...am alrdy half deaf why the hell he talks to himself". I kno am rude but i don like to go to doc. at all, i hate it. after few attempts to hear his query, i successfully answered "left". He dropped a little bit of solution from an un named bottle (kadavulayyy kaapathu) ... askd me to wait for 10 mins outside so that the liquid will take out the fungus from the ear... now i really cant hear anything sounds average....got in after a handy 10 mins wait....he slowly got those cottons away and started cleaning my ears...im a little scared wat he gonna do.... i can hear the clock ticking....the moment of ?????? (am i givin too much hype for a silly ear cleaning issue??? well i felt this way so gotto be sarcastic yo) he then took a long scary pump like thing and started pumping the water in to my ears wth a little extra pressure.....i can feel the chill inside my brain...uhhhhhhhhhh i started liking it.... :) then he did the same to my other ear....later he took a needle and rolled cotton on it and started cleaning it again....

then he applied a kind of oinment in to the inner walls of my ear tube...i felt a little rejunevated...however the mystery of the reason for the pain still not revealed....then the doctor slowly explained the issue...he told i got lotsa was formed inside the tube and he jus cleaned it how ever i shud make sure therz no pain and have to take few medics.... i was a little happy to kno nothng serious happend....

off u go i rushed out and my frnd anticipated a serious issue....later i celebrated the success wth a cream bun and a egg puff wth my roomie...good note to finish da day ;)

Go...GOA!!!

Last week was jus 4 days and terribly boring one....as i have gotta new project associated with Ireland client i need to stay late all days to match up with the time zones...felt like ther was no social life at all for all 4 days...this is my starting stage of IT work life so can;t make any excuses at all....and i liked it apart from travelling really a long distance....

The friday finally arrived...lotsa things running in my mind...next day is gonna b cricket after a long time and the same evng is our office family day.....ive planned to take all my house mates ther.....and i was quite enthusiastic to finish up my work sooner so as to leave earlier to have dinner in a food outlet near to our house....wth all my house mates...i managed to reach home arnd 8.30 and soon we finished the dinner too....That night was a movie night...ive watched scary movie 4 and SAW 2... next to next...one funny and the other one was brutal.... i found hard to catch sleep and finally managed to sleep arnd 3 o clk mrng...

The next morng we ve been to a different ground wth lotsa hopes....our opponents got hold of a pitch and saved it for the match...but the local boys in the ground been a pain in the neck claiming its ther own pitch they used to play every day.....our mates won the argument to save the pitch but doesnt made any good...those rogues placed ther stumps with in 2 or 3 yards from ours and started givin trouble ..... we can;t speak wiv dem...no point in wasting sat mrng for cheap issues... We then went to other ground which is way too smaller but less crowded... the rules are different here...its only offside runs for right handers...leaving me with fulla advantage as i am a leftie ;) .... we started playing and amazin mrng we had...its a clean wash 3-0 lead for us...

The evening arrived and we all charged up to have fun in our office....we got the office shuttle ....8 of us been ther, the welcome drink was a tender coconut to cool us...good move...later lotsa snacks, food, girls, music......etc., its a goa theme and the place is an absolute bliss.....The stage dance was amzing having our office beauty queen in that....that too she danced for the famous MANMADA RAASA song.... oh man the crowd went crazy.....it was one of the perfect saturdays...

The sunday mrng wasnt good...ear pain early in the mrng....got up arnd 5 o clk...had few ear drops and sat wiv my laptop confused on wat to do....slowly i got better arnd 7 o clk....jus stuck to tv all day and later in the evng we house mates been to play cricket...we wer 7 of us....and played a handy cricket to finish up our weekend fun....

Monday(Today) mrng was never been so worst..... ear pain again....rite early in the mrng...this time the other ear...oh man i suffered a lot....no proper sleep...got the early shuttle to office and my ear still bothering me....had a coffee (i don drink this for the fear of caffine) to fight wth the pain...not of great use...no breakfast....pain pain pain....been to my office bunker had a short nap....am feeling a bit better after lunch....now got loads to do in the office....ahhhhhhh

a thing of 'difference' is joy for ever :)

sounds odd isn't it??? well for me it is really not... i love to b different, i luv difference in anything (few exceptions ofcourse) after all this is wat makes my life more intrestng to live.... waz the big difference i had recently...not much to quote well, jus analysing last weekend...

was back from my office late to home on friday nite.... not much of excitement ther in the house....this saturday cricket is cancelled for some reason...and that really let all of us down and we alrdy strted dozing away... i wasn;t tho...sat wiv my laptop and surfng out all nite...no mind to watch movies as well....next day i got up at arnd 11 am....after all sleeping is the only activity i enjoyed that point...mom called me from delhi....shez on tour and having lotsa fun... i then walkd towards kitchen for a tea....later sitting in front of the TV for another few hours and my frnds wer in same mood too....nothng great happening at all....and 3 of us jus thought of goin to a local ground and play a hand cricket with in ourselves and so we moved on....the ground was half packed and we are lucky to have a decent area to practice ourselves....we back to home arnd 7 pm and felt like we gonna suicide in another few mints if we don sort out smthng to do.....one of my house mate is giving treat for his new laptop (jus an excuse to have a treat ;)) weve been to our favrte local eat out and once again i enjoyed the different Dosa's .... later we wer chilling out at the terrace and decided to sleep ther for the nite...and we 4 of us got up ther and chatting all nite.....(don ask wat we talking about....) slowly one of my mate felt cold and sneaked away.... then one more and that left 2 of us ...soon i fell asleep and the otherguy cant bear the snowyyyyy terrace and pulled me back home......

nothing different and exciting at all....the next day even started the same way and havent done anything..... but after noon i was restless and decided to do something to make life intrestng...soo i pulled one of my mates and been to shopping....i decided to make pasta that eveng.... i got all the needed ingredients....back home....later in the evng i started to do all by myself...started cutting the vegetables...boiled the pasta...started cooking....it was pretty strenuous...gotto cook for 6 ppl... i never did before....i din bother...all i wanted is some excitement to keep me alive... it was a total 1.5 hours process and i suceeded....though it doesnt satisfied me completely....my frnds liked it....a yummy, spicy, cheesy, tasty pasta with yogurt on top is always my favrte... we finished up the whole contents.... a different evening altogether and pretty joyyyyous too.....

the next mrng is monday and its a public holiday.....same again ...no fun ...all day boring... been with my mate to mechanic to fix his bike.... i slept in the noon either.... that nite was terribly i found hard to catch my sleep and finally managed to finish this bloody long boring weekend....

i always hate this kinda conventional life and insist on doin something different in most of the things.... some times my brain being stupid and finds it too lazy to think of wat to do different...hahahaha....any way...this week jus 4 days and lookin forward to wrap it up and have fun this week end....

Coorg Trip !!!

wo wo wo....my shoulder...ahh it hurts, still pain all over...it all started 3 days back....the amazing coorg trip of ours...i aint got n e clue the trip gonna b so xcitng....friday was a bit heavy day for me in the office...ive got in to a new heavy task and it seems like that i gotto cme to office on saturday and im gonna skip the trip....i shooted a mail the same mrng to my frnds about this and very expectedly they all went mad and started to jump on my head....hoe can i explain ??? i was a little optimistic and thought i cud ask out my pl end of the day if it seems like goin out of the way..... was workng really hard to get the work done so as to keep me alive for the next day off...the evening finally arrived and was a big surprise my pl askd me out to get back on monday....that was indeed a big piece of cake to make my day....i got the 7 o clk shuttle back home wth my room mate/colleague ....alas!! found jus 2 at home (we expcted arnd 8 to 10) well we wer quite thrilled....coz critics sed my mail in the morng about my drop triggered the same thoughts to few in our gang and i was sure iam gonna b screwed if any one drops.......well its my day and nothing can go wrong...alll wer ther on time (as always ther will b 1 or 2 exceptions) we 12 l left wth loads of expectations in a 13 seater TT.....

The journey was quite hectic wth a completely retarded driver.....he felt a lot sleepy and wanted to sleep for a while in the half way .....we have no choice....we all popped out and had a good 1 hour chat (nthng usefull tho) ....how ever we all lost the sleep due to the frequent break in journey...ahhhhh.....early in the morning reached the budhist monestry on the way....not much impressive tho still quite amazed to find 100;s of tibetians at one place....the golden buddha doesnt inspired me much.....further travelled for a while and finally reached the dormtry after a very long travel (shudnt b but..) we all really tired and hungry .....rushed to the restrnt and i jus ate all like a beggar havnt eaten for 4 days.....u wanna kno my menu for the breakfast....

pine apple juice, 1- corn flakes + milk, 2 - bread pieces, 2 - omlettes, 2 plates upma, 8 - poori's , 1 - Tea (some body told me tea is good for digestion) ;)

its a buffet and the cost is 150 rs. per head...am sure i made my money worth for the buffet....this food well keep me alive and energetic until dinner....we all left to madikeri after the breakfast...i still havent had my shower as i was anticipating a good bath in the river or the falls....2 of our frnds are meant to join us in the madikeri as they wer heading from chennai...so the plan is like we gonna pick them and head towards the falls and later to thala cauvery.... we reached madikeri, it was an hour journey from our dorm and the wayside view was catchy along wth our noisy chat....ther we go, we got those 2 folks too but that was the point we did all the same things normally the other tourists do.....

the driver calmly delivered a sentence that put every one;s excitement at stake...he is not gonna allow more than 13 ppl inside the cab....wat the ******... 2 of us really liked it and we thought the real fun just begun....our leader in the gang called up the travels and shouted at them in his own style (not funny......12 ppl still worried so lemme b serious too) and wth no help he got more angry and he ordered us to boycott the vehicle and as always we obeyed the order....now...what next??? sme one started this ..... lets go and see if therz any other local travels here.....nahhh lets first plan our return tomrrow....we need to book the bus atleast.....well, the only way i guess....soon we got in to the bus station and quite lucky we all managed to get the tickets for all in the same bus....now half releaved we planned for the rest of the trip....it was alrdy 4 pm....pretty obviously nothing much can b done now.....hired 2 jeeps (7 each) and rushed to the Thala cauvery ...jus like a treasure hunt players...we are tensed...sun is speeding up to hide and the clouds streaming in to giv a scare like its gonna rain any moment and let the ppl in coorg suffer.....well 2 of us still enjoyed all these....


we reached the spot arnd 5 pm and the place is lavishing wth green bed and dull sky....it was the originating point for river cauvery....had a little prayer for ourselves to make us feel all this long i come to get this darshan....then i guided the gang to reach a cliff passing thro 500 odd steps... was nice ...how ever no rain .....am little disappointed, i anticiapted a rain at that time....later we then travelled to Triveni sangamam ( 3 rivers junction) ...none of us bothered to kno about the names of the rivers....most of us just jumped in....yipeeeee that was a real fun for 30 mins.....its 6.30 pm almost dark and we decided to get back and all wer pretty hungry either....then back in the jeep singing all the way back to the cave......the nite was very exciting wth drinks, food and chat........picking the micky out of a dumb ass is my favrte hobby ;)

next day early in the morning part of us been for a trekking wth a paid guide.....and i was quite busy myself sleeping till 9 am....8 of us wer ther and walkd to have my breakfast and even now iam hungry (once again aravindh) ;) then played badmitton for 30 mins...i liked it specially in the hill.....the trekking mates are back to put my badmitton fun in a jeopardy.....i then back to bathroom to have my shower.....and this was a real surprise...i never had such a lovely shower ...ever in my life...i mean the water force in the shower.....it was jus like under the falls .....man i was ther under for 30 mins odd....and i enjoyed every min. of it.....back in to the jeep to reach madikeri ......now we all are a little worried as we wanted more adventure....infact again 2 of us quite eager to miss the bus and c wat happens.......

the bus was more comfrtble than the TT we travelled.... we occupied the last 3 rows of the bus and fun all the way....dirty chat, takin the piss outta every one and so on....we believe the others dont kno tamil .....back in bangalore around 8.30.....and one of our frnd offered a treat to celebrate his admission in to IIM.....cant b a better way to finish a trip.... amazing dinner and bye to all.....

the tour was overall an exciting one and i enjoyed the company more than the place....the guys are dam cool, down to earth and i din felt a bit like i was in the middle of another group....wish we cud go for another exciting adventure ....sooner or later, shud b..... ;)

Life is boring..

i always wanted to add interesting happenings in this blog....but for some reason nthng exciting happening at all...2 days i was goin late to office, how ever work was heavy....same faces around....nothing different happening wth any one....same tea occasionally, same lunch, same shuttle.....come on man i need a break....v gonna leave for a coorg trip tomrrow nite and im puzzled why am not excited about this....may once i get in to the flow i mite like it going....how ever i feel soooo lonely past 2 days....(some body get me a coffeeeeeee!!!) ;)

again long time no computers...so no blogs either.... ;) last wednesday, was in my office and heard the flash news of actor Rajkumar's death and riot started all around the city... my other frnds in ITPL left the office arnd 3 pm and we wer sitting still puzzled about wat to do next.....got the regular office shuttle safe back home... the place i live looks normal not much of excitement.... (excitement???) shortly we had the news as the next day is holiday all over bangalore....and we ll wer really happy in our house.....the whole night we had fun playing 5 cards and again the amazing aravindh outclassed every one and been a pain to every one hahahahah.......

the next day was bloody long boring day....all the tv channels wer off and we all pushed to see only the news channels or the rajkumar;s movie ...ahhhhhhhh.... the city was in a deep trouble....with riots every wer.... and i booked the ticket to madras the same nite....i was quite thrilled to kno how am gonna go....the nite finally arrived....we 4 actually gotto leave to our home town...no autos, no buses....ahhhhh.....panic every wer...frnds dropped us in Jayanagar and we managed to get a bus from ther to central bus station...and some how we wer well before time to get the bus....

the next day at home wasn;t much of excitement.... i was driving down to see my grand mum and it was so so so boring day...i had a nap ther....evening was ok...my frnds dropped in and we all been to besant nagar beach and the crowd was immaculate as it was more than wat i saw on new year's eve...oh my god i hate big crowds....sooo we thought of having food and been to planet yumm near by...crowd again how ever, managed to find a table for 5 of us.... ordered for a 2 large pizza.....costed 720 rs..... absolute waste of money i shud say.....it was 2 large cowdungs.....ahhhhhh....later had juices again a crap....i finally learnt wer not to eat in chennai....later we went for a tamil movie which is supposed to b funny but total crap....my brother joined us too...in the interval i went out and got a bottle of pepsi and my frnds wer sharing that tooo...and now my brother (famous for one liners) left out this comment which made us laugh our ass off....hahaha

"ORAYY PEPSI BOTTLELA 4 PERU KUDICHA ATHUKU NATPU MATTUM ORU KAARANAM ILAA, PURSE UM THAAAN"

the next day was a little awaited....my bangalore frnds dropped in and we wervisiting ther houses...i was expecting to go for a long drive to ECR (i love long drive's specially with my favrte music playing...) but cancelled for no reason at last.... :( shame, i shud make it some other time....

again next day was boring being home and doin nothing...same nite got my bus to bangalore....this time more pain in my neck.....the bus is AC and the AC is not working...guess wen we all realised this, after 1 hour of the departure.....and the ppl forced driver to get back to madras and fix the AC....later found the AC cannot be fixed and so they can only refund part of the amount so as to travel in a Non AC bus.....we all sed ok and the bus finally left at 12.30 midnite.....ahhhhhhhh...rchd bangalore next day mrng arnd 7 am.....rushed home and had a little sleep for 2 hours and back to office with loads of work to do.....left around 9.30 pm last nite....man this is tiring....jus 6 hours sleep and back to wrk today....... catch ya soon folks !!!

not a bad week...

a little busy ....put me away from blogging as well...any way nothing much happend last few days...quite happy i got out of the crap team in my office...the new team, although not much exciting, keeping me engaged with worthy tasks...now i really like my job ;)

saw few movies this week...happy and style (telugu) both good ones....i was carried away with HAPPY movie...it has a 50% impact of Azhagiya Theeayae (Tamil) movie tho yet taken very well in telugu blended with nice action scene...the hero allu arjun is neverthless a bad choice at all...the songs are quite catchy and i love it....

next 2 week ends are supposed to b exciting as am goin to madras this weekend for tamil new year...and the following week end we all planned for coor outing for 2 days ...my friend and me been to canara bank in our area so as to draw a Demand Draft to pay the accomodation for coorg trip....and this is not funny we waited for more than a hour to draw a DD in a bank had only 4 to 5 customers for the whole 2 hours duration....no proper response...no proper service...i was totally pissed off with that and decided to drop a complaint about this poor service and i approached one of the counter to have a piece of white paper to write a complaint....the chap out there directed me to the next counter and the lad in the next counter told me to get it from manager ...(this is seriously absurd...) now i thought there is no point in begging for any more and i just cant wait to get out of the bank...ahhhhh pain that was lunch time and FYI i aint had my break fast either on saturday....uhhhhh

the play on the weekend was ok...we made 1-1 draw against oracle ians and not much excitement in there...i once agained messed up in batting...made a decent bowling tho... 4 days this week ...looking forward to wrap this up and go home... ;)

Long weekend... :)

Feeling a lot chilled after a long and exciting weekend....it all started on last wednesday evening...iam quite thrilled as we got an important match (yaa...we wer washed out 3-0 last time....this is time to revenge) next morning....so my room mate and me wer discussing a lot about the so called STRATEGY to win over the next morning..... the morning arrived and we jus outclassed the flippin ORACLE ians and won both the matches and must to mention i was really happy about my bowling ( once was a silly sud...aint got any clue how to deliver a ball ;)) we all wer happy and had a long chat after that about the game we played ....the opponents wer pretty disappointed to see our macho performance ...... hahahah...they challenged us for another game on saturday and we said ok (big dhal!!!) Rest of the day slept and chatting chatting chatting.....

The friday came and the morning i felt toooooooo bored to go to office and i bunked it for no reason and enjoyed the india vs england match the whole day at home ...to my surprise i had 2 of my house mates too....good fun...i gotta mail from my frnd confirming hez visiting me this week end .....he is in hyderabad and i was really looking forward to see one of my best mates from college....and the same day i started reading an interesting book called FIVE POINT SOME ONE... It is about the last three scorers in IIT .... i can able to realise how they feel when iam reading thro...some times i got carried away and feel more comfortable with the style of the author....how ever the book reading is completely new to me and was very much uncomfortable with the posture.....yet the book was an attraction....

The saturday morning was so so so unlucky for us....we din have 2 main players ( i think they are...well, atleast better than me) and we suffered ther loss very much...yes, we lost both the matches and neverthless was an easy match....i made a good knock as a batsman this time ... (ofcourse havent given up my decent bowling) still the team lost the cohesiveness and we cant make it till the end.... we all back home with worried faces....( i think this game is getting too personal to every 1....) yet in course of time we forgot all those......later in the afternoon my frnd arrived and i have to spend the rest of the day wiv him....the same evening we all (me, arun, ramesh and visu) met in a restrnt and had a long chat.....felt really warm to myself....We stayed back in ther room for the nite and watched movie.....

Sunday back home for lunch.....nice to have a rest on sunday....visu booked for the movie MAALAMAAL WEEKLY for the same evening.... i thought its gonna b fun time ....later in the evening we realised he booked the tickets only for arun and me....i was like 'what the heck...uhhh' i wudnt have cme if its only for 2...ahhhhh...he sed he gotto go as he got some urgent work and he don wanna let us down and so he booked the ticket to us as a gift....ahhhh...hell with his idea....the cinema is really far and we gone all the way to have frnds company....still he persuaded us to carry on wth the movie.....we sat all 3 hours ther wth out givin any mind and as a flavor the movie is seriously a crap .......the whole 4 hours of the evening is a spoil sport....i later thought we rember only messed up incidents than party's and occasions ....(makes sense isnt it...) nice trump to pick the micky outta visu all the time..... ;)
