Happenings

The long nights continued this week too. But fortunately I was able to rest on Sunday. Made it to Anniyan. Relaxed a while in beach with friend. Its cloudy and drizzling here. I expected rains at the start of June. Coming to Anniyan, I would say that is a good film. Although it falls a bit short of the hype created, I feel its worth the money or even more than that. The attention to detail in the screenplay is very good. Shankar had done his homework.

BTW, today happened to be my official birthday. I am trying to stop recognising English birthdays but offices run on Gregorian calendar. There shall be a time.....

Hope

Its been quite a long week already. Missed opportunities, prolonged night-outs, unfathomable bugs all try to suck the life out of me. Despite the fact that I love working in the nights, it really breaks your back when you sleep only for few wee hours daily.

Hope the week ends well tomorrow. I have booked ticket for the much hyped 'Anniyan' this weekend @ Sathyam. Hope I won't be too bugged down to make it.

"With hope I go to sleep
That tomorrow shan't be bleak
I pray with a sigh
To thee at the heavens so high"

Man handling?

No! You are not watching a man being roughed up. No..no not that too. How dare you think about that?

The person, who is found perpendicular to the 3 pairs of legs, is being butted friendly by colleagues on his birthday that is today..er..yesterday 31-May. Jana is my projectmate. He is living near my cubicle for a good part of the last 2 years. He is a famous movie critic in our team. If he says a movie is good, we won't go in and around 1 kilometre radius of the theatre in which it is being played.

All said, he is a 'pisth' is logical thinking. Nice bloke. He is getting married this November. So we thought of giving 'latcharchanai' on his last stag brithday. Hope the bumps set your butt up for a happy married life Jana!!!

A day at 'Kadalmallai'

Yesterday we had an account level party at Sterling resorts, Mamallapuram. It was meant to be day of fun and frolic and it really was. The morning session went by playing Waterpolo, TT, Pool etc. After lunch, we settled for some indoor games at the 'Rajasimha' hall which was quite good. After face painting, clay modelling and mummification, our team Yellow Willows came out winners.

The evening was dominated by Cricket, Volleyball et al. Me and one of my project mates went for a stroll at the beach. I was particularly excited to see the erstwhile hidden 8th century temple recently exacavated by the ASI. May be one of the few positive aftermath of the Tsunami. As I walked in the beach I tried to visualize how this beach would have looked thousands of years before, when it was one of the greatest ports of the ancient Tamils, handling most of the asian trade. It would have been no less than the Chennai for the ancients.

We returned for DJ rock-n-roll and refreshments. I was tempted to shake legs but stood my ground. When I reached house it was half past nine. There is a chinese proverb which says 'You have to work so hard that you should be asleep before your head touches the pillow'. Perhaps we had partied harder to have me doze off even before I laid my bed.

1 year

It just occured to me last night that its been a year since I began blogging.

It was desparate attempt to get a gmail account that made me start this site. As soon as I got one, I lost interest in blogging. After sometime, I started again but this time with the intention of sharing ideas and perhaps propagating it.

Well, I have not really blogged in a true sense. A good chunk of my posts were referrals and copy-paste so far.

Will try writing up in my own way, if I find something like that, in future.
