New-sense by Tempo Parkers

Almost a year back a house on our street has been leased as a godown to a retailer. They use tempo’s to transport the stock to their store. But this has turned to a new-sense for the residence as they are parking the tempo on the roads which makes it difficult for four wheelers.

Also there was an irony with metro water who have dug one half of our road and made it difficult to drive. When i came home from work by 3 AM i got irritated as one half was not usable and even the other half because of the tempo driver.

Look at the they way they have made it. I think it is time to take serious action against them. I’m planning to initiate to get a signature from all other residence and post a complaint with the police station.

Also i want to take a snap as a proof to see the difficulties faced by residence;

Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya Rocks!!!

Last saturday i was dawm tired and still i managed to escape to Vinnai Thandi Varuvayaa. Hectic traveling, roaming in mahabs fair & the mid-night show made me very tired and immediately entering the theatre i slept.

After the movie was over my friends were talking high about the movie and i didnt want to miss it again. I went with the same team to the movie once again yesterday. I enjoyed every part of the movie.

After watching the movie i drew lots of parallels with my life. I’m sure director must have experienced all this in his life and he has brought the reality very well.

I can say people only with failed love can enjoy the movie and as expected the reviews from people without that experience was not great.

I heard other than Chennai there was a happy climax in other parts of the state and also in the Telegu version. But I’m happy that i was able to see a climax which i expected.

Also i must tell this that I’m not a fan of Simbu and in this movie he has really rocked. I dont know if he is going to carry this lesson and be a directors product. Hope to see a changed Simbu. Talking about the director i’ve no words to say. He simply rocks.

Given an opportunity i want to interact with Gautam Menon to understand his experience.

Life has changed with a BlackBerry

For long i wanted to change my mobile as my old low cost handset was having problem with its speaker. Also as a part of my new year resolution wanted to buy new handhelds and hack it. Other thing is i want to be a early bird for Web 3.0.

So as a apple freak i was almost about to go and buy an iPhone. But one of my friend confused me and didn’t allow me to buy an iPhone. He insisted me to go for a BlackBerry. He evangelized BlackBerry and still my passion for apple products made me blind and deaf.

Then for my birthday i got a combined gift from Balaji, Mom & Sister and it was nothing other than a BlackBerry curve. In two days i activated the email & IM options and within a day i fell for the product.

I’m using a BlackBerry for a week now and i can say there is a huge increase in my productivity. I don’t feel bored while waiting and I’m able to keep myself occupied.

For entrepreneurs i strongly recommend BlackBerry than any other business phones.

Mahabalipuram Thiruvizha

Last saturday we have been to Mayajaal to watch Vinnai Thandi Varuvaiyaa. We were there in the theatre by 8 o clock and we got tickets for 1.30 show in the midnight. We didn’t know how to while away our time till midnight.

We thought we can take one thing at a time and we went to Mahabalipuram to have dinner. Only on reaching the spot we came to know the day was Thiruvizha (Fair).

It was a pleasant surprise and we enjoyed every bit of it. We went there by nine o clock and were there till one o clock. We shot balloons, went for a ride on the swing, made some crazy purchase like;

  • Captain Imaged Watch
  • Yellow colored sun googles
  • Beads chains
  • Rings
  • Boll key chains
  • Beads bangles

I’m to a fair after a long time and it was a nice and surprise day out.

Birthday Treat for college buddies

What is a birthday without offering treat. I had to honor 3 treat on my birthday and one such treat was dinner for College & School buddies.

I always feel happy to be with my college buddies Vicky, Kuruvi & Sudhir which is a brotherhood’ly friendship. After a lot of confusion we finalized with Copper Chimney and as a strange surprise i was the first to be there.

Thing have changed a lot where in during college days friends use the be there before the person who is offering the treat. Those days offering a treat was forced and compelled one. These days it was a opportunity to have a get-together and time to have fun pulling each other.

After a long time of fun it was time to document the moment and here are the snaps. And i must thank guys for make it a memorable day.

My Birthday Party

This is a post which i must have made a week back. But because of hectic schedule i had to wait for long to make many posts.

One important post which i must share is that of my Birthday party. It all started on 24th a day before my birthday which is on February 25th. I know my sister would have planned a surprise and i wanted to prank her. So i asked Balaji to book tickets for some movie.

Then the evening as a coincidence my sister came home the same time i reached with a cover and there were lots of covers with cakes in kitchen i realized there is something special going to happen.

Then i told my mother and sister that i already planned for a movie with Balaji and immediately i got a call from Balaji telling his fiance has lost the ring he has got him. Initially i thought it was a prank made by Balaji. But when i came to know really the ring was lost i felt sorry for her.

Then my mom asked me to bring a bucket from terrace and when i went it was a surprise. To see Cake, my uncle, aunty, cousin brothers and sisters & Balaji handling the camera as usual. Then it was fun and time to shoot some snaps.

Then on coming down to home was surprised to see my college buddies Mr & Mrs. Vignesh, Sathish & Sudhir and it was all surprise and it is all planned by my sister. The came with Cake and gift and they took me back to my birthday we celebrated on 2000. I feel guilty that i never did anything special for her.

Then came a surprise gift from my mother, Balaji & sister. It was a Blackberry and today it is of big use as I’m not wasting time. Even when I’m in my rest room I’m making the time productive :) . Thanks a lot guys.

Finally it was my sister who has won the day as she made it more memorable and she broke all my tricks to make prank of her.

  • Launch was done by India Cements Srinivasan.
