Reminisce...

We went to Nisha's bros engagement today...Anand, Hafeez, Sulu, Thakkudu and myself...chechis home is at Aranmula.
Me and Anand reached there at 7:20 and Haf and Taks a bit later.
The bus had lot of seats vacant. Nisha was counting on 10 of us coming! Sulu was picked up on the way at her Thonnackal Panchayath...

The bus ride was not very good. Rickety ride...and I was damn hungry after some time! They played Manasinakkare movie and semi watched it while gazing outside...
We did chat a bit towards the latter half of the journey and saw a vazhi thadayal samaram.
Nisha's Machan was calling every 5 minutes or so!
God bless that person who bought two big bags of lays and saved me from certain death due to starvation! By the time lays was finished we reached the prospective brides home...
Then the ceremony took place. After that a sadya was there.

After sadya four of us guys scooted of for a walk. The place is a total pattikaadu. Not even a pettikada in sight!
Atlast we went and sat in a desolate but clean bus waiting shed.
We sat there thinking about the good times we had over the years...laughing at our old antics...we shared a lot of light moments there...
We sat there for a long time...and returned to the house to find Sadya still going on...we returned back to our dear waiting shed...telling Sulu to call us when they were ready to leave...

After some time she called and we went there to have a photo session...that panna kaakka tickled me and God knows how horrible our photo is...
I was giggling, Anand was giggling in a bemused manner and Hafeez was also giggling...seeing this almost everybody was giggling...would make a really fabulous piece of art...unless the photographer was also giggling :P

It was a sleepy mood on the way back...we talked about our college...the rain started lashing out fairly hard and the water came inside the bus also...reminded us of our Parakkum Thalika bus in Goa...

The song from Classmates was playing in the background...
"...Ini illithu pole sukhamariyunnoru kaalam..."
How true...

No matter where we end up in life...No matter how good or bad we do at lives...Never will this carefree life return...

Adios...

hi frinds..i am back

hi frinds...

HAPPY DIWALI TO MY FRINDS AND FAMILY....

after a long time i am back to scribble something tht happ quite a few days b4...

My parents were here for juz 1 day and whn dey left i was very sad and once again i was all alone here in this big city....eventhgh my cuz is here itz a little far frm d twn....
Last sat on Oct 1st it was our AMEX party at Fishermen cove- a Taj beach resort quite some 45 minutes from the main town...

They provided as with innova to reach te spot.. we 6 were there in it and all together 10 for the party.. I was a little excited as i was about to meet MARK CONCOR - ceo of our company.. As we were new joinees, we were supposed to have a one to one with him there.. Anyz it was quite gud more than i expected.. He is really a hardworker and when at leisure he is really amazing... He juz asked me some questions like how am i feeling this new atmospere...like wise it went on well.....

After tht it was the boozing...i stud there like staring at wht is happening in the corner.. suddenly someone called me when i turned back it was my cuz.. i was happy to c tht i was not alone there....i tuk some soft drinks...and as rajavu was also with me i felt quite relaxed... he was asked to start with beer to which he agreed and it was fun.....

After 7.30 we went to the beach... After some 30 min we came back to have the dinner...I was really sad bcoz there were oly 3 veg dishes and i was supposed to eat oly veg tht sat.... after coming to chennai i am becoming a vegterian u knw... ha ha ha................
and after the dinner at 10.30 we again went to beach....we played a lot.... and it went on till 12 in the nite....As the next day was sunday i really njoyed as i cud get back to the hostel and sleep as much as i want .......................

The talk with mark was superb....He is really frindly and he juz commented on my smile.........i was really schoked as he said " this female has a very gud smile and it makes her more pretty.."then he said "i don't know wht u guys mean like pretty here...". God know wht he meant like tht....

Last saturday sree joined me for 2 days and it was a gud time to roam around with him in spencers.. The whole story is there in his blog "putitinyellow". i njoyed a lot after a long time in chennai......CREA was also gud....It is the employee recreation club in AMEX.

I was wondering wht to do at Diwali..here streets were crowded wit people purchasing 4 diwali and 2 go out 4 a walk was undoutdly not possible.... no one was there..my frind at amex "dev" also left to his hometown 4 diwali.. he is a gud frind of mine and i feel a bit out of my tension in office bcoz of him.... and i didn't get ticket to kerala also.. my roommates were also planning to move to their places for the holidays.. i juz called my cuz in b'lore(my all time well wisher).. He buked the ticket for me 2 b'lore..and my diwali holidays tuk shape.....4 diwali i was at my cuz's place... His flat the dream flat 4 me as usual is a warm place 4 me 2 reach at any time........Here his son- atul is very much afraid of crackers and so we dropped the plan of wasting money on tht....

I njoyed the diwali from his balcony.... it was really gr8 and beautiful to watch the fireworks and sparklers from the 8th floor balcony....it was chill in b'lore and i borrowed my cuz's jacket to njoy it in full...Wit a cup of coffee in my hand nd sipping it in the cold atmos increased the beauty of it a lot more.....It went on till some 12 in the nite.. and i was feeling very sleepy as i reached his place only early in the morning... i got a gud sleep and tommorow i need 2 reach my office by 2..my train is at 6 in d morning...and tht is all my past few days news.....

Working Class!

My training got over on Wednesday...Came through with flying colours!
Got a prize for one of the best Trainee! :D

So I joined for work on Thursday. Went there with a lot of hopes and dreams (and fear of being expelled...)
Our TL cum Manager turned out to a little chori that day...on top of it we didnt get our slots (cabin) and had to spend the whole day struggling to keep awake...
Me and a friend got access to one system and the only times I was not counting seconds was when I chatted with some friends and visited them at the main module (I am stationed in 4th Floor and all my fellow trainees barring 3 are either in 3rd Floor or in Kuravankonam office)
Lunch is pretty good here...not so expensive as I had imagined. I have blown of most of my salary almost entirely and all I have left is 800 bucks worth of food coupon...

Today got my slot, next to my TL :P and got a phone too. Today also no work...but got some style guides to learn and spent time learning the product and the styleguides.
Most of my friends got some work or the other with their TL around, so not much chatting also...
This system has got old version of office and no LCD monitor :-(
Has to tel admin to get me the latest Office version...but monitor will stay the same!
Today the TL was in a much better mood...but there is lot of pending stuff to be done and still no work!
Work allocation involves lot of stuff to be done and I hope we get some next week. I am planning to do some extra work if the case is the same next week...

Just know I saw my results...cleared s5 and s6...now next week have to go with it to company. Lets see if they decide to terminate or continue with me...Pray for me people!

The spiderman returns!!!

Hii all... this was a wonderful event that happened just the day before.. as i told u, the girs stay right above our apartment.. they are on the third floor and we on the second.. there is only one key for each apartment and the door is auto lock.. last day evening we all were relaxing at the terrace.. suddenly it happened..
the girls realized that they hav forgot to take the keys from their house..
we tried to contact the manager of the flats.. pakshe no use.. then we went to the company to check if spare keys are available..
athum nadanilla.. then we came to know that this is a common thing in all the flats and theres a usual man called raghu who is called for help.. we waited till 10 at night and came to know that he is not available..
so finally we had to do something..
so we arranged a ladder.. the one used by painters made with rope and kazhukole.. and i climbed down from the terrace and got the keys. thank God they had kept the balcony door open..
angane njan jeevithathil athum nadathi.. :-) bhagyam thazhe pokathirunnathu.. :-D

HIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!! From Huawei

Hi friendz,
I'm having nice time hre. The bangalore city is great. The problem is with my condition having a little cold, cough n fever. The thing about our batch is although all huawei is colourful, the batch is not very colourful.
Just joined in IN(Intelligent Network). Hope it matches my tastes. I'm trying to be in contact with most of my friends till now, but if i had missed anyone please inform me. Kiru n me got our first salary but my debit card got stuck in an ATM counter. So i'm a little 'Paaapar" now. Tomorrow we have a HARTHAL here. Its a bigger event here than in KERALA. But the number of HARHALs here is very low compared to there.
Although i like this city very much, i'm missing my mother's food very much. I'm missing my home very much. One thing i've to tell is that, the story the naru($#$^*****?) is writing in his blog is an exagerated n imaginary story

Yours lovingly
Pappu
