I personally typed one status message on my gtalk “Dont talk about female rights one day in the year”

This sums up the entire day for me

Fun and Fun.. I am back in after a while,

Two big guys were discussing something in the hall in my PG, and I was sitting in my room as usual doing something with my lapi. Suddenly I hear some voice in hall, hence I poked my ear in their conversation. Below is what I listen and could not control my laugh after that

Both (Uncle’s) were watching TV:

U1 - Hay U2 do you know who these two people are (coming in TV)?
U2 - Yes, I know
U1 - Oh!!
U2 - Yes, this is a boy and that is a girl!!!
U1 - Oh.. not that (on a serious note), I am asking do you know them or not?
U2 - No I dont know…

Never plan to go Hyderabad with the dawn of new year.. Was on a simple chat with Vishal about Avatar movie and never knew this guy had booked ticket for me and send me SMS alert along with mail of movie ticket… Then thought its a nice chance to meet up with all of my old folks, so got the tickets booked and reached Twin City Sunday morning… I was all excited to visit the place where I spent 18 months some time back… Wanted to see what all had changed, Reached Vasanth place morning around 7 it was nice chilly morning… Had breakfast only intention for the day was to eat Hyderabadi Chicken Biriyani…. Saw “UP” movie and then attack Biriyani Mutton and ma favorite Chicken as well along with Italian mock tail, saw one more movie “Apocaalypse Now”  and slept offfff….. Evening had come went out for shopping in Hyper Mall…. followed by dinner we made dosa at home  … Cooking after a while

In came Monday morning, was all set to get into my Oracle Campus..  with loads of excitement went and sat with my old team… people started coming in one by one… With most of the people in by 11  I meet people one my one… Few was unable to recognize me as it was a  shocker for them… Few got terrified seeing me on the floor jus like tat… In came Monday evening went to 3-iditos (inox) then followed by Avatar 3D (i-Max) back to back movies and was on the roads of hyd at 2:30 it was sooo cold but could not fetch any ice-cream in between…  Reached Vishal home and was chaatting chattinggggg and these chat never ever ends it was 4 in the morning, so we thought we need some sleep as well… Slept and suddenly woke up to see time was 8.. got ready and was back in office at 10 am… Went out for lunch Vas/Vikas lunch farewell treat had chicken chicken all the way…  was on my way back to office only to meet few other .. I don’t know how much Tea I must of taken while meeting each one of them… I felt really happy don’t remember the last time when I felt this much happy….

At times when you are with the loved ones you never know how time will go by… don’t know how did this 72 hours ran by… Got my bus back to Bangalore. Carried lots of sweet memories…. This is the way I want to live my life, meet people all around and cherish each moment.. Forget all sorrows and enjoy life as it comes

In came the new year…. As always new resolutions I am happy that my last year resolutions were all acheived. Here are the list for this year

1. Learn photography and start clicking nice pics
2. Learn basic salsa
3. Practise Yoga and Meditation properly
4. Do technical cetifications
5. Personal (STUFFS) not listed here

I was asking for a break for a while, and I did get one but this time its not a vacation but it was for a Virus Varicella zoster generally referred as Chicken Pox… Let me get back  a month and role down my memories.

Been for Kurbaan movie and in the mid way of the movie only I felt veryyyy tired and bit cold as well. Got home very soon after movie and within few seconds I was on to my bed. Don’t now what happen after that I can only remember putting off my alarm at 6am following day. Woke up with lot of body pain and started brushing teeth with a slight glimpse of my hand I notice a rash. It was nice and fresh budding up I touched it and my immediate thought was it is chicken pox only… So had to rush to the near by hospital in CMH Road… Awaiting for the doctor I informed my office about this and to take necessary precautions. Doctor came and he did confirm boss you are infected.. took medication called my sissy, jiju and got flight tickets booked for my way to home town Chennai.

I step onto my home only to see entire renovation work going on and its full of dust and noise. My mom had got one room cleared up for me, and jumped on to the neem leaf filled up bed and hardly I remember anything after that… Remember getting the neem leaf changed and my sweet friends sending message to “GET WELL SOON”… Intimate people did wake me up on time to take tablets on the right time be it morning 10 or late night 2 … 3…. so on.

Made me feel really happy to have such really cherished pal on my list. Initial few days went  and I was still on my own world wondering about nothing… Then Anand gave me Nokia E71 mobile which was my savior when I was sick. Got GPRS activated and I was online on my mobile most of the time in idle status ;o)…. Couple of rash in my hand grew big big big  and it never went down… :(… Constantly watched its growth seeing mirrors were all my constant job for that period. I constantly get irritated and pissed off watching these  rashes and don’t know how to get over it… Few pleasing words from loved ones made me feel lot better. Around day 7 I think one of the biggest rash was going down it was getting dried bit fast and all other rash start getting dried up as well.

So it was around 10 days I came out of my home and saw sun light… Was all excited to get back to Bangalore. I did miss out couple of loved ones wedding, some time in life you eagerly await for something and that does not happen at all.. So felt bit bad but in the end all was fine, except that I was missing my Chicken food for a month or so. Now I am back in Bangalore full formmmmmm awaiting CCD, Barista and Corner House DBC

Of late got into few audit works…. Who else can better fit on to this work! Me never ever follow any kind of process in doing things. Now that I am Internal Auditor I sit back and understand the need of process which needs to be done. This term “process” not only suite into my technical world but it got lot more to do with my personal life as well. These days I also follow up process where ever possible and get aligned to standards. I may not set things straight over night, but I am sure this Audit stuffs is getting in good stuffs onto me.

Pain is temporary, Pride is permanent… The D day had come for 10K run in bangalooru. I was all excited for the run, this time fully prepared for it. I reached Kantiveera Stadium around 7am, Elite men event started first, followed by Elite women. Our 10k run started exactly at 8:10 am, with huge mass of people running for various causes. Clean bangalore, child education etc… Run was pity good this time around for me, took around 70 mins for 10Kms. It was neatly organized, and well planned. I was hoping to finish within 60 mins, but somehow missed it. It was pity good experience for me. I need to gear up for the big event later this year, that’s FULL MARATHON. Always dream big, you will somehow reach it…
