Today i had to settle to work from home. As both of my cars were off for service & the two wheeler is used by my sister. It is hard to believe how vehicles have become lifeline of our life.

There were times where I used public transport and there was no private vehicles. I got offer from many friends who spared their vehicle. Again my laziness to goto their home and collect the vehicle has made me sit and work from home.

But i made use of the time by having a facial done.

It is a tough time for me to commute. I didn’t realize that my small car’s (Zen) coolant water & engine oil got drained & I drove my car too much that the engine got seized. The result is;

• Engine reboring takes 25 days.
• Cost of repair is projected to be Rs.35,000/-

This experience made my check my big car & even that was running dry & I filled coolant & engine oil. Coming monday i’ve to leave my Big car for service too & i don’t have a vehicle to commute.

If any of you can spare me your two wheeler for 2 days that would be of great help to me.

We reached Yelagiri hills by 3.45 AM and we cornered the car on a busy street. Life here got started by 4 and lots of people & vehicle movement started to increase and nothing disturbed us. But an old man woke Kavi asking if we want any room or guide.

From then Kavi didn’t allow us to sleep from then on and this is how we slept.

I have been driving for many years… I would think I should have noticed the little secret on my dashboard that was staring me in the face the whole time…I didn’t…and I bet you didn’t either…

Have you ever rented or borrowed a car and when arriving at the gas station wondered…mmm, which side is the gas filler cap?

My normal solution was to stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look, try to see in the side mirrors or even get out of the car!

Well ladies and gentlemen, I’m going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the gas station or pu t your neck at risk of discomfort or injury.

If you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump?

The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the gas pump?

If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left? If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo). It is that simple!

Last two days I’ve been partying hard and networked a lot and got reunited with my old friends. Yesterday being a Saturday I got a call from a friend who invited me to join his friends in a party in Asiana in OMR. I’m visiting the hotel for the first time and got linked with the Landlord of the Hotel & other entrepreneur folks.

It was fun time there because the Landlord was one of the committee members to select the live band in the Pub. The girls singing dedicated all songs to us because of Hari. Also I’m going to the Hotel for first time and it is really mind blowing interiors and experience.

From there we had a choice of going to a Movie or to goto Pasha. We choose to goto Pasha and we picked my friends Girl Friends. This time I remembered my mentor and I invited him to Pasha.

My mentor was happy about my comeback and he enjoyed his drink and dance. For some reason floor was closed by 12 o clock and we went for dinner and while dropping those girls I crashed my car while taking reverse.

Morning work-up only hearing the yelling of my mom. Thank god I’ve a supportive sister who came to my rescue. I promised to take her to her Idol Vijay’s movie. Thank god she had some other commitment.

I got a call from one of the friend whom I met yesterday to join them for a house party. I went to his posh bungalow in Thambaram. This time most of them people networked are Compire, Serial Directors & actors. They were all drunk and I was unable to catch-up with them. Over all I didn’t enjoy the evening.

Then from there we went to watch the movie which I promised to take my sister and you can see the review I posted for Vetaikaran.

I must thank my position as CEO of Software Company which startles when I get introduced. People immediately befriend me and call me next day asking if there is any vacancy for their friend / relative.

Over all I enjoyed the party and networking. Now it is time to start forth coming week with a bang.
