Coffee Day Galata

After work I went to my grand parent’s house on Saturday. I stayed there for some time and then went home. I receive a call at about 8.15 from Dinesh

Me: sollu machi

Din: w r u. r u free now

Me: s da. Whats up. Shall v meet now

Din: ok ill come to Itch’s house in another 18min

Me: ok da. I will also come there. Bye da

But Itch was not in his house, as he and Mia were outside some where and they said that they would take about an hour to come home. But still I went there and waited for Dinesh to come. I was listening to Lathavadhi song on the radio when he came at about 9.5 in his new Honda Shine. It was such a nice feeling to meet friends after a long time especially with whom you were so close for 2long years. As Itch was not in his house, we decided to go to Coffee Day and wait there for Itch and Mia to come. When we were having a long chat enters Itch along with Mia. Then started all the fun. Fen had pulled Dinesh’s legs earlier so he wanted to have his revenge on him. Dinesh started the topic, that Fenn had a crush on Mia. She did not believe it in the beginning but later on as Itch and I started to tell her more seriously and related some instances which happened in college she started to believe that. The reactions in her face started to change slowly. Small doubts raised in her mind if Fenn had really fallen for her. Pavam girl, she did not know that he had a better taste (just kidding guys). That topic started at about 9.30 and it was so late when we realized only when the server asked us if we had any order. By that time it was well passed 11. For nearly 2hours this topic went on. In the process we could see tears rolling down her cheeks when Dinesh had to pull up a chair and sit next to her to console her. Dinesh is just the same, not changed a bit. He tells things in such a way that any one will believe his lie. His serious looks are very deceiving and we cannot judge as to what he is up too.

Apart from all this, the time we spent together was awesome. Nice fun pulling each one’s legs. These talks we last had when we were in college. This was yet another memorable day which I can take with me for a long time. At last after we came out (before they could send us out) the ice was broken. There we saw a relief in Mia’s eyes. Well Pati , Naya were the words out of her mouth. It was fun fooling a person. Lets do this every week guys.

Death Cant Get Closer Than This

I received these photographs by mail from my friend. Some breath taking moments captured at the right time by some excellent photography skills coupled with bravery and courage. Just think for a second , what would be in the minds of those people who took these photographs and those who were involved in those situations...

The summer fruit has arrived

Its season time for the yellow fellow to take his stake on the people. Yes, mango's, mango's and mango's every where. The market is being dumped in with a variety of mango's. Vender's have all started selling mango's now. The season has started for mango's and we will all have some refreshment this summer. This is my favorite fruit, which I love the most. I keep waiting for this season to arrive. I eat a lots of mango's, not just I love them, nor just because they are naturally tasty, but they are also very healthy. It’s a very healthy fruit with a lot of vitamins in it. In a recent study made by researchers , they say that if you eat a mango everyday for a month it will give you the needed vitamins for the whole year. So enjoy folks this summer with this rich and delicious fellow fruit.

Rising up the head

Summer has started; the higher grounds (hill stations) are becoming crowded. Chennai is experiencing the worst heat waves in recent years now. Two months back it was winter time but now suddenly we can all feel the heat catching on us. The heat was so great that I was not able to go to a shop near by at 12 this noon. The temperature is slowly rising up towards the 50 degree mark. Our roads can even melt at this heat and this is sure to rise a few more degrees in the next couple of weeks. Water scarcity in the city is the next major forecast that everyone in looking up too. How are we going to fight this life threatening issue this time? Chennai has seen many such situations before. But how many times has it recovered form the losses dumped in by nature? If the people and the government do not wake up to this alarming situation, there is going to be dreadful time ahead.

Who are the sufferers?

In fact all of us. But the roofless, the destitute are the people who get effected by this. They have no place to hide themselves from these demonic heat waves. The scenario is worst in villages, where there is no proper water supply when all their sources of water had already gone dry. Most of us work in air conditioned offices. We never experience this heat once we enter our work place. Times have changed now, where people work when others sleep. We never bother about this, as we don’t see the world once we are in office. If we don’t take care to wake up to this situation. This will eat us and our surroundings. Everyday there is millions of tones of water being wasted by all of us. If we could only save half of that we could make a difference. At least the poor can live on it and the farmers could survive from that. The government introduced the water saving schemes but how far is it effective in serving the needs of the needy. People like us can buy water. But the poor are left even without that choice. Every single drop of water is worth a penny. And every single penny is worth a million for a poor. They can’t afford to buy water. So let us save water. Use it scarcely.

Promoting to become high

Our government is taking steps to promote liquor in a very attractive manner. After taking over all the wine shops into its control, the liquor shops are being modified into some well high class show rooms where it can feed its customers to utmost satisfaction. This is one example of one such shop where I found it in the main road. This liquor shop situated on the Poonamallee high road has a beautiful hooding which is illuminated at night for a clear view for the people. What should be banned is now advertised and attracts people to go for it. Is our government planning to ruin the lives of our youth whom we call as the future pillars of our nation? If the same situation prevails, our state will soon become like Tibet where the Chinese Government is spoiling the youth there by promoting liquor. These things lead to a slide in the law and order and the moral of our land is questioned.

+one Grace Added

It was in 1984 in this same day when the sun was shining bright, everyone expecting, the world rejoicing, and this land waiting for the arrival of the finest creations of God. Yes today was yet another day of Partying and a special occasion for me to have fun with my friends. I knew that I would be getting calls from Jeba, Itch and Dinesh. As I thought , Jeba was the first to call me sharp at 12 followed by itch . Then at about 12.30 Dinesh spoke to me . I had a surprise call from the person I never expected. It was Man . Thanks a lot guys for remembering me . Love you all. These small things brings in so much of a meaning into my ordinary life. In the morning I got a surprise call from Athi whom I never even imagined will call me up. Thanks a lot Dude. 

This is yet another day of hard work at office where I had my usual work load. I had no time to spend with my parents and my family members. Work has changed the very course of my life. But I have to take this part of life as it is a part and parcel of a human beings path in this world.

Life has taken its own coure

At work, quite busy now a days. . . . .

Things have changed a lot from my college days, and now I hardly find time. I had all the time in
the world to eat, sleep, room, and enjoy life to its fullest. But now , work and office has taken its toll on me . I very well feel the pressure of work building on me. Nowadays its become very formal, and all my activities including my dressing style has changed a lot. I never saw a formal shirt in my shelf all through my college days and now its only formal shirts and pants. Most of my class mates have got settled into good jobs, each of them facing their own changes in life. Dinesh has got into India Interacts, and has scaled to new heights. The Express had his name published in its paper a couple of days back, as he was the pioneer in starting the Roof top Film Festival. He has had some wonderful experiences since he joined work in that company. There is lots more for him in store. Well Fenn and I have joined the same company and we are having a great time together. Fenn as usual with his blank looks and his deep so called thoughts irritates me sometimes to the core. But we guys are used to that usual stuff and iam now least bothered about what ever he does. He carries his LKG bag when he is in office as he did in college. Some of the staff even asked him and were even curious as to what he had in his bag. I think it will take some years for him to change, or even may not happen.

Sitting at work

Its been ages I have logged into my blog. Had my project going on and then my exams were on. 24/7 I was busy with my work. After all my tight work I finally got some break to breathe some fresh air. College got over and I was thinking as to what to do. Thought of many things but finally I came across some job opportunities. One such job was this instructional designer’s offer in an IT firm. At first I thought that this was something out of my field. But then when I heard the job profile I wanted to give it a try.

Well now I thank God for making me to take up this job. It is very interesting and deals a lot with my subject. This is a very new and an up coming industry as we deal with e-learning. We basically cater to the people working in the ships and in the port. Writing articles and building study modules for them is our key objective. I hope this goes on fine and I will look to build a career in this field
