Text of the page (random words):
our next generations at every dinner conversation in the future on the personal front i ll mark this year as when i moved to bangalore and in the process made loads of new friends and explored a very exciting city also watched india s truly biggest concert to date the iron maiden gig and lots of smaller materialistic things like buying a car at home and then some more personal ones but then as always around the 31st of december we wish to ring in the new year in loads of celebrations and in cheer most people go to parties pubs and resorts and dance away but then what s so special about doing something which everyone else does and that is the question i ve been trying to answer for the last 2 new years eves it is in this very quest this single minded pursuit of a new year experience that i ve managed to beat and surpass my wildest expectations year after year last year i planned to spend 31st night among the tigers duh not the beer in ranthambore but instead ended up at some god forsaken apani dhani on the outskirts of udaipur listening to some jackass singing god only knows what songs in chaste rajasthani if you are interested the whole trip is well documented on chandu s blog after that fiasco i was pretty sure that i would definitely do better this time but then i was in for a huge surprise this time around a few friends from college jaya nippo tarun malik barbie kaka had decided the best way to ring in the new year was in pondicherry and most likely in a lot of booze so even though i had been there twice before off i set out to pondi to spend an awesome new years eve now pondi holds special memories for me because it was here about 2 years ago that i had actually tasted booze an appreciable quantity for the first time in my life i had this stupid in hindsight rule of mine to only drink with my own money so all through college i abstained because i somehow wasn t comfortable with the idea of spending dad s money on booze but as soon as my paycheck landed in my account all the vices were conveniently embraced we hired a cab and off we went to pondi one fine day we drank for lunch drank during the evening drank for dinner and then i don t exactly remember how i got back to chennai i was told by jaya and utkarsh that i just slept blissfully while we cruised back on the east coast road ecr so with such fine memories i was sure that i wouldn t be disappointed this time around we started off for pondi about 300kms from bangalore on the 29th of december and after due dilly dallying we got there around 9pm as expected intended most of the time there was spent at the beaches or in drinking or in drinking at the beaches we also managed to run into arjun singh the hrd minister at the auro beach while most of us had a good mind to go thwack him for his largely controversial policies on reservations but then he looked so old and so near death that it would have been a wasted effort we also managed to run into a large group of juniors freaky trappy etc from iiit which proves that either the world has become a small place or that pondi is a really small place let me cut a long story short and just get to the big occasion the night of the 31st for which we had heaved ourselves all the way from bangalore we originally planned to hit some local pub hotel where there was some new year party going on but then either they were too shady or too full so we ended up checking out many parties without actually getting into any around 10 30 we had grown so frustrated that we had enough of doing nothing we picked up booze and decided to eat somewhere and then just head back to the hotel jaya managed to find and get tickets to an amazing buffet where there was a new year party going on as we entered the place we were greeted by not the general carnal music but by carnatic music next surprise was that there was only vegetarian food on offer okay i should have expected that given that they were playing carnatic music at a new year party but to add insult to the flaming wound i had to literally fight with the staff for the leftovers seems the awesome new year party was only till 11pm and the staff were allowed to raid the buffet at 10 45pm itself by the time we were getting out there were the staff s kids singing nursery rhymes on the microphone and the whole place was completely empty by 11pm makes me wonder why they called it a new year party in the first place now that we had filled our stomachs we had very little appetite for more disappointment or shocks but it seemed our titanic evening had only hit the tip of the iceberg of surprise on the way back to the hotel the driver managed to get us lost and somehow we ended up crossing into tamilnadu only to be randomly stopped by the tamil police at the checkpost unfortunately we had a whole lot of booze in the car and that amounted to smuggling booze from pondicherry into tamilnadu at the maximum we should have been just fined but the cops instead chose to relieve us of our booze and let us go so there we were on the eve of new years deprived of all our booze and at a police station and then while some of us went to pick up backup booze the others had a puncture and also witnessed an accident as well didn t i tell you that we would surpass all expectations in the very end we did manage to procure some booze in the city and also managed to retrieve a bottle from the police thanks to jaya and barbie s senti so it all worked out well in the end the upside of it all is that we all have a great story to tell back in bangalore everyone i know was like i went to this awesome beach party or i went to this resort and danced the night away but the moment i say i was at the police station on the eve of new years its no longer a contest pssst i really don t drink much but nevertheless my new year resolution is to drink less 36 comments posted in fun memories travel posted by sreejith december 6 2007 making the move someone wise once said you can only put 6 bullets in a revolver obviously our 70 s heroes hadn t heard this line or were using very advanced revolvers but the folks at my office were the aware kind once they realized that employees were getting uncomfortably close to each other because of lack of space they decided to move us to a larger office after months and months of deliberation which is pretty quick by large companies standards it does have 312k employees the decision was made to move us analytics folks to the end of bangalore its a different matter all together that by the time we finally moved last weekend bangalore had expanded and the outer ring road is now very much a part of the city so we packed our desks and said goodbyes to the all the colorful friends in the call centre and moved the huge downside of the move is that now i can no longer gloat about the phenomenal sex ratio at the office earlier when the m and oracle folks boasted of all the goodies they get at work and my yahoo roommate talks about their foosball table all i used to say was sex ratio and they would gracefully accept defeat but in one swoosh the sex ratio at my office dropped from a few thousand ladies a few hundred guys to a handful of ladies a few hundred guys so now i no longer discuss work with friends but then the upside of it all is that i now no longer have to cross the dreaded silkboard junction and i don t need to wrestle through bannerghatta road s traffic i now literally fly on the outer ring road and my commute time is a measly 10 minutes never did i think that 8kms can be done in 10 minutes in bangalore i do encounter a different kind of rush everyday the what a rush kind and yes i am one of those who have to say e4 when people at my table at lunch say lets make a move psst the scorpions are playing in bangalore on the 16th of december the usual palace grounds you can buy tickets on bookmyshow winds of change here i come 52 comments posted in fun personal puns tags bangalore office traffic workplace posted by sreejith november 28 2007 opening minds are you open minded a few days back i would have answered a very emphatic yes only that now i don t feel that i would be truthful to myself if i said yes i would like to believe that i am open minded but then this is a very subjective measure a few days back a really really close friend of mine confided his love story in me he believes that his girlfriend was the one for him and he could never find someone more compatible the only glitch was that he is a hindu while the girl is a muslim now that s not very revolutionary but personally i ve never seen anyone close to me marry outside the caste forget religion his parents are totally against the very idea and are not even willing to discuss the whole issue i can see that they are being practical because there are a lot of repercussions to breaking established norms but then aren t some things worth fighting for understandably my friend was very agitated and was even considering eloping with his girl now i was quick to point out that his parents are not very open minded but then when i took time out and calmly thought about it from their point of view i realized that this is a giant deal for them you could be all romantic and idealistic about it but at the end of the day you are only pretending to ignore the huge elephant in the room you might be open minded but then there is always a boundary to your open mindedness a limit exists somewhere and you are only as open minded as the radii of that circle of belief personally speaking i ll throw up at the very thought of eating live animals but then a lot of chinese eat live squids not really the hard hitting kind of example ok just imagine if your kid came to you a few years down the line and says he wants to marry his lover just that his lover is a male now how open minded are you makes me squirm because i don t find myself all that open minded now maybe that s exactly how it makes my friends parents feel i guess we just need to continually keep widening that circle 36 comments posted in insight personal tags love marriage open minded religion posted by sreejith november 17 2007 vacations paid vacations are probably the best part about working the philosophical overtone in that sentence could be attributed to the fact that its the fag end of my two week long vacation and i am much more wiser than i was 10 days back in the meantime i ve made some startling discoveries and much unlearning has been done the train journey from bangalore to trivandrum taught me some valuable lessons none lesser than the value of listening to your heart there was this british couple from bristol who boarded my train at cochin being my inquisitive self i interrogated them for a couple of hours and they patiently answered all my queries because jolly good sports they were we discussed everything from the most trivial of things like the impact of eco tourism on india s gdp to the most crucial topics like the future of lewis hamilton i must admit that i was rather taken aback by their in depth knowledge of india s history and some of its little known cultures these two people might have been well informed both were doctors but then they also told me that many of their briton friends already perceive india as a super power and as one of the future world leaders well at least we are no longer all elephants and snake charmers back to the listening to your heart lesson these two had been to the usual agra and delhi tour but then after that they decided to not plan their travel and instead backpack their way across india since then they had been to dharmshala haridwar rishikesh jaipur and were now on their way to the beaches of varkala and the backwaters of veli i say that sounded quite adventurous and totally fun and more so because i ve been to these places too so i decided to listen to my heart on this vacation and not be all analytical for a change the catch here was that my heart said sleep and sleep i did like there was no tomorrow in fact the first week went by with me doing just sleeping and using facebook now i ve been using orkut for almost four years and after the initial honeymoon period orkut has been more of a burden to bear its not just the bad server and donuts part but there is simply nothing worthwhile to do on orkut on the other hand facebook with all its cool applications promises to be a welcome change a word of caution though if you use facebook don t ever start the never ending movie quiz on the flixter movies application it never ends duh and will kill all of your time anyway after 1 week of pure unadulterated nothingness i decided enough void had been created and it was time to do some fun activity so i cajoled amma mom and achchan dad to join me on a quick trip to watch the sunrise at kanyakumari now kanyakumari was only 90 kms from my home and i estimated that it would take me about 2 hours to drive down so the plan was to get going by 4 00 so as to catch the sunrise at 6 15 unfortunately amma is worse at procrastination i am only her son than me and by the time she got ready it was already 5 00 so we had to

farm out here and this was the first time i had personally seen one kanyakumari was one of those few places where you could watch the sunrise as well as the sunset but since we had locked angie our dog in we had to go back before evening to go check on her and hence skipped staying back for the sunset but all in all sunrise or no sunrise it was a good trip after ages i was able to spend some fun time with amma and achchan on the way back we had lunch at a restaurant and i realized it was the first time in over 8 or 9 years that i was eating out with my parents considering that i have been
