Legend has it that the great revolutionist Tamil poet, Bharathithasan, used to travel this canal from Pondichery to Chennai writing poems.

Another treat




In a sharp contrast to my deep introvert personality, I've brought in a culture of celebrations in the current team that I am part of. The guy in the red shirt bought a new motor bike - Bajaj Pulsar. So it was time for party.

Next week, I am going to host a party. Because...well, who needs a reason? Okay, if you still want to know: the software application that I wrote was featured in a Belgian magazine, ClickX, and the best part is that they sent me a copy of it too.

Kunjalakumari




After my sister and I left home, my parents felt an empty house. So they got this pet. Dad does more to it than he did to us (at least to me!).

Fire crackers




My brother-in-law is crazy about fire crackers. He being a Hindu and we being Christians gives him a lot of festivities, especially towards end of the year.

Traffic Signals




Contrary to the popular belief we, Indians, do stop at traffic signals. Conditions apply though:
-Vehicle in the front stopped
-The cute gal (or guy, depending on one's gender and sexual attraction) driving next stopped
-You spotted the traffic police who is standing hidden. And if he is standing so, then most probably it is month end and better stop than spend the next hour bargaining with him. If you've good eyes, you can spot the police standing beneath the (green) traffic signal

The sun went down...




Days are fast gone,
And distance, so long,
Still your words make a song,
For my love remains ever strong,
But all seems wrong,
Since you're in his arm

Team Feast




Whatever be the happy news - birthday, leaving a boring team, new addition in the family, and marriage - it deserves a treat. And so, today we went to Dhaba Express in Cenotaph road to celebrate the birthday of a colleague and to bid farewell for another one.

Spicy finish




As if all the thrill wasn't enough, we finished our day with a spicy snack

Being upside down, on the air




I'd been on chilling roller-coaster rides in at-leat two entertainment parks. Even in MGM, I went on a roller-coaster. But this one beats them all. When I sat inside a cabin and strapped myself to an extent of immobility, I didn't have an idea of what was coming. The machine slowly rocks, picking up momentum. I was going up in the air, going up, and going up. And at one time, I was upside down. I saw people gathered down lifting their head and probably, waiting to run away, in case we fell down. I was there for few seconds. Then it moves to the opposite side and comes down, comes down, and it goes up again. Oh! back to being upside down. This time, I sensed blood going into my brain (if I had one, would I've taken this ride?). I even saw near-by sea. I heard someone praying - he was yelling so loud, that gods could hear it - to his dear god, "Muruga, save me!". Don't know if it was because of this prayer, but we came down safe.

BTW, I made an exception of using the shot by someone else here.

Sri on the air




When we all became tired, Sri wasn't. She still found enough energy to swing.

Can't guess what this little bird would want by standing on one leg. Hope its worth it!

Boat ride




Surprisingly every one of us enjoyed every ride that we took. Probably it was because it brought the kid in us.

Sliding into water



Water has the power to refresh. From childhood, we like playing in water. Sliding into water has its own magic!

Recently I went to MGM with few ex-colleagues. We had a great time there. I'll post few photos from this trip.
