Well last evening was the day when I got finally cleared and relieved from my first ever company as a full time employee after resigning on 7th Nov 2006....after spending 18 months there....
So this every much implies a completely fresh start......move to a new city....a new co. .... new set of colleagues....THE CHANGE....
Still no clue whether its for better or not.....but I hope generally change occurs for better....
Now eagerly looking forward to that drive from Chennai to Bangalore....thats some highway....gaining high speeds on it will be very very tempting....mazaa aayega...
So in next two days the packing needs to start....post reaching the destination a new house needs to be found....needs to be setup....ah dats a difficult task hehehe....then hmmmm maybe a TV and home theatre system......man how much can one demand......hahahaa
Anyways.....the phase 3 of this blog begins....and the journey continues........
Phase 1: Started in B School....continued all through into the 1st Job (Phase 2) and now the journey begins into phase 3......

Rock n Roll cant stand still
After a real real long time.....today morning....felt like having a nice headbanging session...the first song coming to mind....HEAVY FUEL by Dire Straits....
the lyrics are awesome....toooo cooolll....
here they come:
Heavy Fuel by Dire Straits:
---------------------------
Last time I was sober, man I felt bad
Worst hangover that I ever had
It took six hamburgers and scotch all night
Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right
cos if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
My life makes perfect sense
Lust and food and violence
Sex and money are my major kicks
Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks
cos if you wanna run cool
Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
My chick loves a man whos strong
The things shell do to turn me on
I love the babes, dont get we wrong
Hey, thats why I wrote this song
I dont care if my liver is hanging by a thread
Dont care if my doctor says I ought to be dead
When my ugly big car wont climb this hill
Ill write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill
cos if you wanna run cool
If you wanna run cool
Yes if you wanna run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
the lyrics are awesome....toooo cooolll....

Highwaystar on a Roll........
Five months into 2006....what all has happened.....
Kicked it off with the first day being spent in Pondicherry.....and I think that set the tone for the year.....
What a tone sensex from 9K level is now comfortably above 12K levels whoa and still going strong....
What a tone.....have not rested yet and rest seems far far away.....
From Pondicherry - The coastline in the deeper southern region of India having really beautiful beaches till the Mighty Himalayas - Vaishno Devi and Patni Top in Jammu.
Have also been to Ooty, Coorg and then back home and now plannin on to Goa, Kodaikanal, Kerala and a couple of wildlife sanctuaries around in South India.
Not to mention trips to Bangalore keep happening....
Going off to Pune-Nasik-Mumbai in 2 weeks and the 3 places in 2 days :D
Its been a roller coaster ride till now....and the year surely seems to just have started.....
My camera sure has been njoin itself to the max - check it out here
Pondicherry - the trip was a roadtrip - took East Coast Road from Chennai to Pondicherry on 31st Decemeber'2k5 to eneter into the new year at Pondicherry.The road runs just next to the beautiful coastal line which Tamil Nadu seems to enjoy...this is where I managed to get a maximum speed till date out of my car - the speed being 155 Kmph....it can do more than that - it is waitin for more.....Visit Pondicherry between October and February and you can spend your time playing or lazying around on the Beach. The beaches there r really beautiful and dats wat u can call perfect setting for playing in the water.....else mostly the beaches along the eastern coast of India are very rough....
Next trip was to Vaishno Devi and Patni Top in J&K in February'06 with parents and my yunger bro. It was my first time to these two places and Vaishno Devi is such an amazing place, it takes you to a completely different world. Had darshan thrice there and then went ot Patni Top. The best thing about Patni Top is - ITS CALM AND BEAUTIFUL. No noise. Not much to see there only enjoy the scenery around you. Where else can you find such a nice place to get away from the daily chores and noisy city life.
In April'06, went to Ooty with my XIM-B friends. It was for just one night, but was fun. Though must say Ooty is no more an ideal hill station, people flock there like crazy....though worth a visit once. The ooty lake is really gud, one should go there boating only in the evening time, thats when you will enjoy it the most with the setting sun. The tea gardens cover Ooty and it looks awesome :)
Again in April'06, went to Coorg with my cousins who are in Bangalore. This was during the weekend when Bangalore was closed courtesy death of an actor. Managed to reach Bangalore - what a journey it was, bus stopped at Hosur and there we had to wait and see how to go to Bangalore. Well some Karnataka buses were started and on then reached Bangalore. On the route to Coorg, one has to go on Bangalore-Mysore highway. This highway is still under construction but once its made it will be really good - I think the best thing Karnataka govt can do. Coorg has an awesome weather. The very first night it rained there. We had stayed directly in the middle of a coffee estate and very near to Nagerhole wildlife sanctuary :). We went to Wayanad wildlife sanctuary the very first evening. We could not spot a tiger or leopard or panther in 3 journeys through the wildlife sanctuaries. Two times through Nagerhole and once through Wayanad. Next time will have to work out something to reach to the core of the forest where the action happens. These two sanctuaries also have a major problem - they dont provide jeeps, they provide big vans to enter into the forest and in these big groups go, which make a lot of noise, as if these vans r silent. Also the jeeps are permitted to go, but visitors have to make there own arrangements. Again these vehicles make a lot of noise. The sanctuaries should provide their own low noise making jeeps and huge groups in vans should not be be permitted. We also went to Kushalnagar Monastery. It is supposed to be the second biggest one in India and it was amazingly beautiful. A must visit for anyone going to Coorg.
Last I have come back from my Home - Delhi......the city simply rocks :D
Lets see where am I off to next.....in two weeks I will be in Chennai - Pune - Nasik - Mumbai - Chennai in 2 days flat :D
and have to scout for where next after that....

Remembering those Wonderful Days
Been just over a year since I left XIM-B (actually 1 year and 1 week)
That was my first experience of living away from home and living on campus in hostel....
Have made many frnds and couple of close frnds for life out there....have had loads of fun @ campus.....
No way will I forget those days of sitting late night study or project work and spending the whole time doin just bakkar....playing tennis late into the nights.....my non stop stream of caffeine....goin to canteen at 1 am or 2 am for something to satiate the hunger (which normally arises always wen u think of doin a project or think of studying), also post tennis game going to mess for masala cola (AT 4 AM!!!!!!!!)
Blasting of that hard rock music from my speakers well complemented with someone trying to listen to soft hindi music somewhere on the campus.......
"JUST LIKE THAT" - the night wen XIMB turned into a disc....and went dancing all night.....
Well anyone observing us wud have kept on thinking......do these guys sleep or not.....to see that he wud have to attend the class and try to find the junta there trying to catch sleep - with everyone having their unique way......
Wat fun it was.....truly "THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!"
Miss those days.....miss everyone there....
Hoping (actually dreaming) abt living those days once again.....

Run "FEAST" on a "DEAD" Pitch
They say its a dead pitch @ Gaddafi Stadium....
Batsmen say "I'm Lovin it"
Bowlers asking for a back massage.....
Its been a run feast for both the sides....
Pak 679/7 declared....
With a pace battery they have it was thought India might have to follow on....but but but....
Dravid and Viru opened the innings for india on the second day and with only 15 overs being bowled on third day, they were still holding ground on the play close for the 4th day with the score at 403/0 - lets see whether this is going to reach the highest opening partnership or not....the manner in which they are going it certainly seems more fireworks are on offer for tomorrow...
Dravid: 128 - The Wall is standing solid...no one can go through him right now...
Sehwag: 247 - An still kicking some serious butt....
and to top it all - its all at a run rate of around 5.2 or 5.3 and believe it or not - this is test match.....
Viru might be thinking of his last triple century when he was in Pakistan last time around....he might be wanting to better it and maybe go for a 400 on his own....
Awaitin more fireworks tom...but hoping other pitches have not been made in a similar fashion - need some real gud cricket between these two great cricketing nations..... :)
Also a Belated Birthday to "The Wall" - Rahul Dravid.....
