Slough - SL1 3UH
A year and a half - some good visible work, right amount of branding, packaging and marketing and ofcourse some goodwill has got me here I should say. I am humbly delighted about that and feel very happy in sharing this news with you guys as I have grown up with you in our classrooms and in this very forum. I would really love to have the next gettogether in this very beautiful and expensive city.. he he - who knows.
Trust me - if you ask me if this move has brought me the enthusiasm and happiness alone, then it is a clear cut no... Phew, how very demanding all this new world tactics are and 21 is not the age that you want to handle such pressure guys.. Haiyo, naan avlo paithiyam pudikra mathiri busy/stressed ah yen life la irunthathey illa - so many break points and pressure pipes. I am not exaggerating, it just went overboard too many times and i have been in too many crossroads where i had to meet expectations on 4 different directions - new work, old work, personal, relocation work. Its gruesome guys.!
So,... to give u guys an insight. I would be working on an ERP module called peoplesoft by oracle and this is for the HR application. Its a brand new league to me and i am definitely up for it. The city is pretty much similar to Gurgaon in a way that this is also an industrial township where you have a lot of immigrants, especially indians, pakistanis, bangladeshis and some meditteranian people as well. Like any other British neighborhood, this also has its own standard inspiring set of houses and their architecture. The climate - a must mention; very very cool (sorry, dont curse me for make this envious, he he). The city, the language, the lifestyle, the culture, the system, the discipline are all entirely different.
So hopefully, once i blend in - this is what i aim to do. Learn cooking, learn some new language and if possible become a better individual. ha ha. Will definitely miss all u guys - although we were not physically together to connect, we were always just a shout away. Moment of truth - things start to get a little far to reach!

A thought to share :)
"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the Air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."
WORK EFFICIENTLY DURING OFFICE HOURS AND LEAVE ON TIME. GIVE THE REQUIRED TIME TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS & HAVE PROPER REST.
I really wanted to restrict myself to work in office hours.... But its always a want... Never became true ....

BOEINQ - Bunch of Engineers Is Nostradamus's Quatrain
As such, this name cannot be accomodated into any application form/invitation/limited space dockets :) So, now with this degree in front of it, we can officially declare that it can never be spelt together in a sentence or put in a blog post.. he he.
Yena oru athisayam., we are all qualified engineers on papers and that cannot be deferred as it has our ugly duckling photos on it as well.. Here it is, in front of our eyes that we've passed through, hopefully not the last of educational qualifications in our lives. What seems most intriguing is the fact that we have done this for 4years without much pain and efforts... Oru velai namma ellarumey Meenakshi mathiri padichurukalaamo nu thonum, but again whom are we fooling - we exploited the weakness in us and showed only the diversity in unITy ;)
What purturbs me at the back of my head on some confrontations is this one conviction our ppl hold - "An engineer is always the best solution and master of all arts - better than a science graduate; better than a masters stud; and even better than those trained professionals just because they are not engineers!!" - - - Athu eppidi aagum :) I dont accept that - do any of you?
Yes, I am proud and happy that I am an Engineer - but why would the society only look upon the engineering graduates as the high end big wigs and all other graduates as just left outs and left overs. Even the organizations that we work for, or atleast the one that I work for perceives this notion globally. So, to hell with this preconceived and well immersed perception - "Engineers are God made and the rest are nuts & bolts.." Cheers to the glory of overflowing engineers and TGIE - Thank God Iam (an) Engineer ;) in this cynical world of superstitions

'JuVi'nile
Here is some food for thought, and lets see how much of us are really hifi IQ guys. I am sure I am testing the tongs in the right community - so please prove me right. This is an excerpt from a magazine, so courtesy XYZ. I would be surprised if some of you had already read it, if so, then please refrain from spoiling the fun :-)
Read the below very carefully, u dont have to read between the lines but you will have to read through the lines well :)
1. I always speak of the truth. I have 2 coins with me. The cumulative sum of both the coins is 75paise. I promise you that one is not 50paise, then what would be the value of each of the coins - please bear in mind we follow the normal RBI statuatory and no coin value other than standard are being considered.
2. 5 + 5 + 5 = 550? Adding one more line to this expression would make it a balanced equation. What and where is that
3. Clerk: "Raghav, your next"
Raghav: "Coming sir....."
Raghav rushes to the door and stumbles at the doorstep and all his files and papers scatter on the floor.
Interviewer: "Raghav!! What is this!!!!?"
Raghav gave an answer that the interviewer bought and inturn was very impressed that he recruited Raghave inspite of his mess up at the entrance. What do you think is the reply that Raghav gave?
4. 2 Brothers took part in a 100m race. The elder brother won the race by 10m. Now, the younger brother who was disappointed asks the elder brother for a rematch.
In this race, the elder brother stands 10m behind the younger brother to make up for the lost distance last time.
Now who do you think will win this round? Explain...
5. An electric train runs at a speed of 90km/h. The train heads from east to west, which direction do you think the smoke emitted would travel. Remember, the train is travelling at this pace with all passengers inside.
These were some simple and astonishing questions that I came across this last weekend while surfing through the pages at home. Do introduce your own riddles that are in similar lines and lets understand how many of us have the acumen to pick the hidden catch.

Family trip part II
The grand entrance:
Wannado city:
This has models of almost everything that we encounter in our day to day lives: bank, gift shop, radio station, tv station, police station, hospital, court, cinema hall and so on...
My father posing like a doc :)
Posing like a judge - would love to become one though :)
Haunted Mansion:
Was pretty similar to the normal ones that we get to see in malls except that it covered a large area and had a proper house with staircases leading both upwards and downwards - had a proper eerie reddish background.
Dino world:
Goot attempt of creating a dino-world atmosphere. Nothing scary though it would have been better had it been scary.
Mirror maze:
Was a cute one - we need to find our way out by ourselves :) it was pretty intersting without noone to guide us. Only near the exit there was one guy who gave direction to reach him - even with him giving direction it was cool to find him coz we could see atleast 10 copies of him :)
Mom and dad enjoyed it a lot as they had not gone to one before.
Caught a nice spot in there :)
Fossil museum:
Had nice fossils of dino's and good facts written up. There was this huge
in there.
Aqua kingdom:
The regular beach/wave pool imitation that we have in normal theme parks.
Roller coaster:
Was fun :) not much turns so even parents can come.
Velocity:
Go-karting was fun for me - went for first time. It was cool to try out sports car.
Waxworks:
Had a lot of cute wax works. Few of them:
Beleive it or not:
Had a lot of funny things - can keep you occupied for couple of hours.
4D movie:
The usual 3D movie with atmospheric effects like air being blown on our face and chair jerking.
Miniature city:
Had lot of cute small imitations of the city.
The place is worth visitng atleast once, it was an enjoyable trip :) Thanks to Peria for sharing about this place.

Family trip after a long time
Beautiful moon that showed up this way for three or odd days:
Then we went to Trichy - the trip was full of temples yet here again it was a different trip. First place was my mom's side village temple[grama devadhai kovil]. Unlike other temples this temple is only for the people who belong to that village so even though it wont be very small temple we can hardly find people in there coz it belongs only to that village people :) when we went only we were there :). The temple was surrounded by beautiful vayalgal[gives a good feel to tell that in tamil] and coconut trees and has its own pond.View of the temple along with the trees: A kingfisher on the temple pond:
Temple horse:
Kalai arukkum stage la irukkum nellu vayal:
Then we visited other famous temples like malaikottai, srirangam, thiruvanaikkaval. From malaikottai view of the srirangam gopuram was stupendous.
Train running parallel to a road bridge over cauvery:
View of srirangam gopuram from top of malaikottai: A cute baby elephant in a temple:
Will post a part II for my parents bangalore visit :)

From Cobblestone to Jungle Safari
Zero visibility, half conscious traffic, lights beaming out to just a couple of metres ahead, fatigue driven sailor >>> This was the only moment which passed like you are sitting on a hot stove that is in high flame with no Fast Forwarding! not knowing whether you would cross the bridge to reach the other side of the shore. >>> Fast Forward >>> Gateway to fun, end to the frightful night, mission accomplished.. LA PERLE stands down the hill, 13 big king size cottages awaits ur sleepy arrival...
Moonwatch, landscape, so full of grace, bridge, poker and literature glowing all morning >>> Fast Forward >>> Tied down team building, passing the stones, making of the perfect square, hurdle crossing, blindfolding and more to come, not to forget the hot sun >>> FF >>> Lets kill the heat, break the feast and neat the meat.. Pounce into the pool, run down the stepping board and jump high knowing you cant fly, neither can you dive, nor can u swim >>> FF >>> Gaze the elephant ride, reload the pellet, hit the roads and go down to the banks.. Hold tight to the rope and pull along to the other side of the river, Overcome your fear of instinct and rapple the rock.. Wet your foot, walk down the flowing river and click it on the rock as part of tradition.
Back in the game, book ur spot.. Make ur way and do your thing.. 2 hrs countdown begins >>> FF >>> 4 rooms, 4 troops.. Here is the finale, show it all u have.. Strategy unfolded, killer instincts decided, all that is left is to hunt your prey and kill to win. >>> FF >>> ACT 1 --- Reality show, 4 dancers, fierce competition and awesome execution.. ACT 2 --- 3 idiots remake, love story, musical, tragedy, but a funny msg - carried through the comedy of gender blender chacha 420 formula. ACT 3 --- An idiotic play, tried to deliver a too serious msg of civil aviation, human evolution and some crap. ACT 4 --- Mimic of all internal ppl; Amazing fun, the walk, the talk, the order, the theme song, funny steps - a heartfilled laughter and a deserving 2nd prize.! >>> FF >>>
Befitting end >>> Back to Basics: play cards, galloping appetitie, click snaps, closing ceremony dance (- again throwing away off limbs :)), and crash just like olden golden days.. My first attempt on abstract dotting. Hope it isnt too abstract :P

New Venture :)
It has been a long time that i posted something or really thought about something of my own :)
Let me tell u abt a wonderful journey am in.....
Why this journey????
1. It all started with the stupid ideas of my brother to mark our name in the birth town. He did want to make our generations to know that they really had a native :) When i write it, i really mean it..... Though Namakkal is my native i do not see any traces of my family's life there.....
2. We also wanted to make something out of our parents money instead of just inheriting it
3. If we were pushed out of our companies, a place that would promise our future...
4. And above all, to do something to our own people........
The result was a "SCHOOL".... And the education is for kids who cannot afford for convents still dreaming to study in English school.
And planning to name it as Aditi Vidyashram(now it is called Infant's).....
Hope it serves the purpose :)
P.S: The pic above is the collage of science expo held last weekend...., And i really hav a wonderful weekends with them.....

Noble Novel Approach - Part II
*******PLEASE READ PREVIOUS POST FOR BETTER CORRELATION*******
I left to my aunt’s place. And in this while her dad got transferred to another station and they shifted over. She didn’t inform me about that…she let none know about this. She left me in pain…She left me in sorrows…She left me in utter unhappiness, displeasure and dismay. I cried…cried everyday…cried till I lost all my energy…Every night was a nightmare for me. She haunted my dreams. Every small thing reminded me of her. She was everywhere. She was right when she said, “u still can feel me within deep”.
Someone opened the door. It was her…the same cute looks of an innocent girl…My Greatest Friend…She took her seat and glanced at me. She knew I had been longing to see her. My throat was choking and I had no words…I couldn’t come up with a “hi” or “how are you?”…Finally, I managed to get something out…
“How did u get my number?”
“I know everything about you.”
Then she showed me her diary that contained all my old telephone numbers, my addresses, my e-mail ids, my office address including one abroad. I was dumbstruck as I knew nothing about her…while she knew everything about me.
“Where have you been these many days…hiding from me?? Why didn’t you try to contact me even when you knew about my whereabouts?”
“I wanted to see you as a man…A man of great regard…not only for me, but for the whole community…which you are now.”
I didn’t speak a word. She then told me this…something which I couldn’t digest…something I couldn’t withstand or never expected…
“I love you….and I wanna marry you…”
I didn’t know what was happening around…for a moment I was lost…I didn’t know how to react to this…
“But…why suddenly??”
“I have been in love with you even since school days…”
She showed me her diary…dating 8 years back…I realized how crazy she has been about me. She was in love with me!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn’t believe it. I wanted to hug her…and tell her that I love her more than anything else…I stood up and sat in the chair next to her…putting my hands around her shoulder…I said,
“You mean a world to me!”
“And so do you…”
Then she searched her bag for something…she took out an invitation and showed it to me…And this was another shock…A thunder which made me take back my hands from her shoulder. It was her marriage invitation…
“I am being forced to get married…But I really want you for this lifetime. For this whole lifetime…”
I hugged her tight…Cried…And kissed her…
*** The beginning of an ending. ***
**********************************************
All rite…now please don’t ask me who this girl is. All the characters in this episode are just imaginary. I have never written this kind of posts. Just wanted to give it a try…Am sorry if it didn’t appeal you…And once again, this is purely imaginary!!

Noble Novel Approach - Signature Shot
“Hey Senthil, you are the dumbest and the most idiotic person I have ever seen on earth. How can you be such a fool and an insane to be this stupid?”
Hmm…Yup! These were her words…One of my best pals in school days. She was one of the most caring person I have ever come across in my life. She took every right on me and scolded me to the brim…She wanted to see me as a great personality…She wished I should someday be talked by hundreds and thousands of masses. She…was a gem of a person. I liked her…may be I should restrict it to that now. I never had the guts to think about anything more than that. But at times, the “What If” thoughts popped up my mind…I knew it would be devesting the existing healthy friendship that we share.
Adolescence is when the mind contradicts with deeds. The natural attraction to a person of opposite sex is unavoidable. Well…And I am also a common man to experience these. I admired her. I liked the way she mingled with her classmates. Her softness, humbleness and her shyness to new people and elders is something that makes every person fall for her. And I was feeling so damn lucky to be in close contacts with such a person. She has been the heart throb of my school…Her cute looks was a major attraction for guys. Well and they attracted me too.
After the call I slowly rolled out…My car was with the mechanic. I had to get a public transport. She had asked me to come over to a nearby restaurant. I have never been to that restaurant. I hired a cab and got down at 09.30 AM. She had asked me to come over at 10. But, anxiety and enthusiasm urged me to come earlier. I was waiting in table 11. She said she had booked that table for the both of us. Plainly calm, I was waiting for her, recapping all those olden day memories.
We spoke through telephone for hours together. The whole school was in a way jealous of the relation we shared. The more my guy mates envied me, the more I started enjoying her company and feeling lucky. The board exams were approaching and we were on study holidays. I had to report to her everyday at the end of my study session through phone. And she did the same. We couldn’t meet and I started missing her. I knew I was falling for her and was getting crazier day by day. My exams were primary to me and I did concentrate on them. I had no clue if she really missed me and if she had such feelings.
The exams got over. We did pretty well and were satisfied. It was then vacation time. And I had to find an opportunity or a reason to call her up. I started missing her even more as this time around I had nothing to keep myself engaged. I called her up one day and arranged for a meet up that evening. Extremely private, it was planned along the corner of a dull street. She came in and I was trembling with fear, anxiety and worry. We had a formal talk for a while. Later on…
I told her, “Am missing you millions. I don’t know why, but these are days I really feel like being partitioned from you. And…And I wonder how I gonna put up without you if the necessity comes.”
She said,
“Don’t worry, I will be with you always.”
“Always???”
“Hmm…Always…”
“Always next to me??…within my reach of my eye sight?”
“May be not, but u still can feel me within deep”
I took the hint. She just wanted to convince me. I wanted to tell her that she meant something more than that to me.
“Hmm…yeah! But…yes!...ahhh…I wanna tell you something. Please do not mistake me. I am dying out here everyday without telling you this.”
“Whats that??”
“Well….as you know I like you a lot. And sometimes I feel like dying off without you. I don’t know why. But I really want you for this lifetime. For this whole lifetime!”
“hmm…that means?” “ I am in love with you.”
For a second her face turned pale. She didn’t have any words. A mix of unhappiness and depression…I suppose she didn’t expect this from me. I felt ashamed for a moment but felt much relieved for venting it out. I felt as if I had removed the rock that was lying within me. She turned back, raced her vehicle and was off. She spoke not a word…I never called her then and we didn’t talk to each other. I felt isolated.
A few days later, I had to go out to my aunt’s place far away from my hometown for a month. I knew I wouldn’t be able to call her from there. I wanted to talk to her for one last time before leaving. I did,
“hi”
“hmm…”
“I am leaving to my aunt’s place. Just wanted to talk to you for one last time.”
“Hmm…”
“I will be back only after a month.”
“Ok”
“I haven’t got a response for…...”
“I need time.”
“Hmm…Okie…”
“ “
---Silence---
“Okie. I am leaving. I don’t know if I will be able to call you when am there. So, just wanted to tell you, I am missing you…And am gonna miss you tons.”
“Take care…bye”
“….”
---Beep Beep Beep---
To be contd....

DOES PONTING DESERVE TO BE THE CRICKETER OF THE DECADE?
Monday, January 11, 2010
Kabhi kabhi sapne ke baare mein socho
Out of all the wildest dreams come true, I am naming one of my posts in a language that i thought was totally HIFI for me and was reluctant to penetrate the block although it was right in front of my eyes for so many years. Well, the title by itself suits what i am about to share with you guys. Its simple! Let the eyelids intersect for a moment and let the clock tick. Take one long breath to tell ur mind that All is well... Lay back in ur pushback chairs/wall or just let your mind take the easy chair while ur heart still beats.
What interests me, what makes me feel that I am passing time without counting it, what is that little thing that i love to do but my conscience wouldnt let me to BCUZ i am not paid for doing that; what is that i would like to do on a beach resort sitting on the porch and watching the sea. It need not be something that everyone appreciates or persuades. But ultimately it brings joy to me and I would smile to myself "Arey, you really have grown up so much and still u baawre have not lost the touch or interest...!"
Mine are a very precious and unique collection of dreams on its own. To start with
1. Journalist - specially a visual journalist, as my interest and knack for photography is characteristic
2. Columnist (not a novelist-i tend to over speak) - I cherish writing and I am sure I can assure an audience - althought small, but still significant enough
3. Media & Advertising - This is something that still I fantasize a lot. The more I see these ingenious and savvy ads the more I am inspired.
4. Strategist - I've always felt that my way of thinking braces such kind of a role. It can be on any platform - a starter company, politics. That also kind of tapers my acumen
5. Kindergarten teacher - I adore kids and they paint my town with delight. I get amused so easily whenever i get these small opportunities to acquaint brilliant ideas with them thru sounds and noises as a mode of communication.
6. Photography - Savor this as much as anything and bask in glory when I charge out a masterpiece
These were some of the many dreams that I wish to pursue atleast somewhere down my journey and I shall nail it down on this very own blog when I get to achieve the first of these. I can already imagine what many of my peers out here would include in their wish list - let see, I give them the privilege of revealing it out.

When the going gets tough the tough get going
So when i learnt that australia had been bowled out by pakistan for 127 in the first innings of the 2nd match in the ongoing aus-pak test series,was happy,and pakistan after having taken a lead of 204 in the first innings were the likely candidates to win this match.
The aussie second innings also further added to my joy when the aussies had a lead of only 87 and were 6 wickets down on the third day. I stopped following this match, for i knew the result ,Australia was heading for a defeat.
2 days later..... i search for updates in cric info
result Australia won the match by 37 runs. i was flabbergasted, how come did it happen? was this a repetition of the sydney test were umpires helped the aussies a lot. the answer is: no
It was their fighting spirit that had earned them their victory.Mike hussey who was under the scanner for his poor performance in a string of tests, had scored a century,and was unbeaten on 134 , he together with 9th down peter siddle had added 123 runs to the score taking australia's overall lead to 180 , which in terms of modern day cricket is a paltry score.
pak could have chased this score easily , for they had almost a day to bat ,still they lost.This is where the aussies showed their fighting spirit. I am almost sure, if india was in this situation , they would have surely settled for a draw.
The reason for this victory "Hussey's 134 n.o".
This is what hussey said to cric info :
"It's hard when someone of the ilk of Shane Warne is criticising you, because he's obviously played a lot of cricket and he knows his stuff pretty well," Hussey said in the Sunday Herald Sun. "So it was pretty motivating to try to prove him wrong."
Warne has since downgraded his stance and Hussey said it was great to show up the critics. "Just to prove to him and to everyone that I still can play at Test match level, it's the most satisfying feeling you can get, especially after you copped a lot of criticism over the course of the summer," he said.
The same goes with paul collingwood of england who batted for almost four hours and thus saved the test match for engalnd.
Who can forget rahul dravid and vvs laxman who have been great match winners for india.
It all lies in test of mental strength and character.These are just cricketing examples .There are many examples in real life,who ahve braved all the odds and have turned up successful.
the true test of man's character lies in adversity and now he faces problem rather than circumventing that or running away from that.

ZEITGEIST
The documentary spans 2 parts ,1.45 hrs ea .The sequel to the first part zeitgeist addedum .
Zeitgiest starts with religion , and leaves us with the shocking revelation that all religions are symbolysims to sun worship. and in particular the reference is to christianity. We all know the basic christian story Jesus was born on dec 25 0f a virgin , died at age of 33, had 12 disciples. Well i thought jesus was the only one. But histories of persians, egyptians etc etc have many gods with the same description. Horus of egwas born on dec 25 0f egypt was born of a virgin , died at age of 33, had 12 disciples did miracles. Mithra of persia no where differs from the above description.There are numerous references which are listed by the documentary. Whew after all SUN worship is the ultimate :) and all the stories have deep rooted into our society that we believe them blindly :)
The next part deals with the sept 11 conspiracy and ends with modern money mechanics, the document that was decided to enslave people for eternity .
Zeitgiest addendum deals with money , and how the banking system was designed to enslave people :)
Well guys enough i dont want to spoil the fun of viewing that :)
WATCH ZEITGIEST!!!
Three states....
20 hours continuous of travel
10 overwhelming hours of warcraft
this is how the year 2010 started for me. It was all set for start of 2010,with a team lunch on 31st afternoon. Lunch was over at 3 and and the train which would take me to YAM was at 4. KANDEN KADHALAI tamanna madhiri last minute rushing into the station . These were the preludes for 2010. I sat in the train enjoying the moonlight ,thru the window hoping that the new year would bring back past memories afresh.
After 20 hours of travel I landed in P.S.G HOSTELS the HOME AWAY FROM HOME at 1.30. After putting my bags at one of the juniors room , it was nostalgia, meeting the friends from other departments and chatting with them not to mention the cricket i played with the automobile guys.
Lunch at arrunachalas and dinner with arasu sir at rayappas marked the evening.The funnier part,to be more correct, was the arrunachala menu, which we used to visit once in a blue moon for economic considerations was looking dead cheap .:)
Please note till now i hadnt seen any onr from B.TECH I.T.Then it was chatting with our juniors and the gossip about our college.OUr juniors were discussing about iqube and means of getting sponsors. I asked them to approach the multinational. multicrore , turn over company GOPI TOURS CEO for sponsorship for which they had a hearty laugh and i got a piece of interesting information:our HOD himself has told the students of I.T department not to go for any IV thru gopi tours. Then it warcraft night , with me playing with the juniors.
YAM dawned, met my mechanical, ece,automobile , etc friends not asingle I.T soul in sight. I consignd myself to resignation that no '00' guy will come:)
Meenakshi had come to YAM with here brother :)atlast one I.T . the yam function went on for
2hrs , dunno who was the chief guest:) then we went to the department to meet our teachers. No sign of them as usual the day being saturday.
We met H.O.D who just spoke for few minutes regarding some i.t alumni meet:) then we met chandran sir who was talking about improving i.t department , a talk heard since 7th sem.
BATISTA(Uma madam ) has been removed from the post of course co ordinator and the post has been handed over to chandran sir.
Aprom NATRAJ Sir, for those who dont remember him he is the person with soft vioice who taught us data maining, T.Sivakumar,Senthilnathan ellarukum kalyanam aagirucham:)
Namma lab pinnadi irukura staff cabin ah maathitinga .Shifted near mtech lab:)
Meenakshi has agreed to become a visiting professor for PSG tech , a statement which she told chandran sir for which i bear witness.
YAM , the same routine playing cricket ,warcraft and chatting with the juniors.
Sunday morning it was time to leave, since we did not reserver ticket for the return , we ddecided to take the shorter route cbe-blore-hyd which will take us just 17 hours , a calculation that became wrong due to the efforts of the ksrtc bus and the train from blore to hyderabad.It took us 22 hours to reach hyderabad :)
Sunday morning 630 we boarded the ksrtc bus to blore, and to our displeasure found him stopping at almost all places which looked like a bus stop :) :( no wonder ksrtc is the only gov bus service that runs in profit .
Reached blore at 3 which gave as 3 hours to spend in blore. we were famished by that time and had a good lunch in a hotel near the rstation. Our roommate had booked a tatkal ticket fro our return journey. Taking print out of the ticket we entered the railway station ,boarded the train,back to work after a 3 day refreshing break.
Well if some of our class guys had come this post would not have sounded as monotonous as my YAM experiences.
COIMBATORE-BANGALORE-HYDERABAD , the start of new year spanned 3 states . Now you know why 3 states
