Hi hi hi hi all,
After a brief Malaysian sojourn, nothing like setting foot on my homeland! Extensive exclusive brief later this week, but its been fabulous so far. Im in the city of lakes now (for god's sake, its got only two lakes and they name it city of lakes...chennai got like wht.. porur, chemperambakkam) Maybe chennai shud be named city of rivers, with coovum and adyar rivers and the innumerable rivers running in the erstwhile streets. Damn am I eager to set foot there! 5 days in Blore will end in a week of bliss in Singara Chennai. Waiting to meet all ya guys soon. For all the lazy bums who havent bothered to contact me or leave their contact nos, do so RIGHT NOW (love the Van Halen song, but dont mistake me for a Peter). It was nice meeting Filter and Ferrari and exchanging some high rev thot exchanges. Apart from a Ferrari helmet, nothing to suggest hes a hardened fan, though a coupla Schumi references and the smallest bottle of vodka (even the sprite bottle was bigger) I have seen so far cooled me down a bit. Atleast it was a Smirnoff :P
Thaai Mannae Vanakkam!!!

Mismatch and Miss Match - Its all in the game!
Sometimes its hard to make the right decision..and even worse is communicating the decision. I have been flummoxed with hard times, stressing myself to my limits and beyond at times. In a way, the job I am in has let me know how much I can take it. In other ways, it has really made me lose everything else I had (aka time). I am not the freakout guy whoz missing the bar hops, but the normal guy who needs his quota of 4 hrs sleep. And when I look back, the number of days in the last 4 months when I have enjoyed this simple pleasure tends to zero.
Stress leads to friction, which converts into heat and burns a few people's hearts. The more the stress, the more the impact on people. A spark somewhere in the world creates a World War. Likewise, you know you dont belong when you get a letter from your director asking you to come to office on the day of your exam. The last 20 days was spent in working out a nice way out and today, I am relieved.
A lot of people always think I have lost out on better deals, but even in the above scenario, I have won. I made a smart move to coax the company to relieve me, instead of submitting my resignation letter, so that I can still get something. Oh btw, let me officially announce the biggest news :D:D:D
I AM FLYING TO INDIA FOR A VACATION !!!
Wow, looks so great to finally have that smile on my face! I havent had time to even think about it, nor cherish the last few days here. I have to pack and buy stuff as well. OK, the route seems to be a bit circuitous. Following a Malaysian trip (company work - yeah I know!), I will be landing in the "Silicon Valley" to a rousing welcome by Filter, followed by the endearment and home food cooked none other than J. Hopefully can also get to stroke my bat a bit (cricket bat for the uninitiated losers). Once I am done with the Valley, I am going to the River, aka Chennai. Brings a smile to my face just typing that word. Hope it still remains when I land there! A week long escapade will result in my 6 year wish. Getting my parents to Singapore for a visit. Only one thing is my mind now when I think of that. Culture Shock! With my grandmother planning to visit, it might just be a psyching out-of-the-world experience for her! But I cant decide if its her or her daughter whos going to be perplexed more :)
Anywayz, lotsa enjoyment followed my lotsa expenditure this month. So getting prepared for a really wild ride through time!
I would juz love to meet up with all u ppl when Im there. So, if u r in Chennai or Blore, do mail me ur contact no! Gonna miss a few dear friends out here who aint in those two cities, so a heartfelt sorry for u, but frankly, I am in the holiday mood now, so yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I will try to update once in a few days, so it wont be all high and dry in this blog! Will keep u updated with an NRI perspective of the resurgent India! (sounds more like a MBA talk huh?). To all the bloggers out there who drop in here, Adios!
Signing off to a Bon Voyage with a Bon Crete :P
Meanwhile, keep praying for this poor soul who is destined by fate to fly Indian Airlines.. *gulp*. You can refer to Dinx's blog for an obituary if you dont find any post here for a whole month :P
Wishing all u fellow bloggers whose birthday falls in December, a very Happy Birthday !!! (seems like self appraisal, but anywayz). Especially Visithra, who strenuously keeps track and wishes all her fellow bloggers!
Gonna miss u guys!
