i will

back to work...only to know that i still got the job - a(nother) top head was laid off from the firm

company share had bounced back after some promise on last quarter result - there's still some hope for bonus !

it hurts to be still on the "hoping" side of things

nari : frustration caused by ones' own mediocrity is endless
keerthi says : real problem needs unprecedented act

all I need to do is put the thoughts into action...to get to the next step and...

i will !

longgg weekend

23: Saw "Changeling" - decent movie (Clint Eastwood is definitely one of the greats)
24: lousy day - spent few hrs with PMP prep (really not sure why I'm doing this)
25: Prabhu, Sudha & Nidhi were on transit and took them around SGP
Saw "INKHEART" - strangely fantasies doesn't fancy me
26: India celebrates republic day / Chinese new year (Gong Xi Fa Chi)
again lousy day with book & tv

have never been this inactive during holidays...wish all my buddies were here !

intha vaaram birthday vaaram

Jan 14 - Nari
Jan 16 - Mustak, Swamy, Ashok.R
Jan 17 - Sarf, me &... guess who's the other hero rubbing shoulder with us -

Puratchi Thalaivar M.G.R

No questions that MGR tops the list in many ways (at least for now - not sure if Sarf has questions though)

When wondering if this gang has got common traits:

easy with their people but earns respect inspite of being amongst them
straight forward - can't get along with lousy people
female(s) could be their weakness in some way (don't count me in this though ;)

Actually I need not tell you all this - we are not far from being on the news :)

Happy birthday guys - east or west, capricorns are the best ! !

appavum naanum

(inspired by "abhium naanum")

when i asked for a bike, after lot of fuss I got it only in 11th (probably he thought i was still a kid then)

he wanted me to study in PSG, Coimbatore - but I clearly said Anna University is where i will study (something like "I know what I'm doing"...)

the way he handled things did show his fear/faith/love - call from a strange girl, hostel expulsion, my first accident...etc - well, couple of times i was advised too - to keep away from mischievous friends - you know who i mean ;-)

and now I've started behaving like a grown up asking to take decisions as i wish (heard him say to his friend "avan kitta pesavey ippoe bayama irukku pa")

truly, i can't compete him in any aspect of life - still i'm proud about the confidence he has on me - i'll definitely fulfill one of his hearty wish and make him prouder !

having thought about all this, life is (indeed) beautiful !

i love you appa !

Wish you a very happy new year - 2009

After having said bye to 2008 in a gracious manner (no club, no party)

started the new year with the special activity reserved for special day(s) - guess what...

prayer @ temple - both thanked and sought blessings from the almighty to keep going with self-confidence (oxymoron...nah)

sorta lull for the year's first day but that's the sorta peace i guess everyone wants.

alrite - game's on and spirit is up - no shy, no fume (if you don't understand this, be that then)

வரட்டா !
