Microwave Coffee...

1. Milk --> Microwave 2mins --> Bru Instant coffee powder --> Sugar

OR

2. Milk --> Bru Instant coffee Powder --> Sugar --> Microwave 2mins

Both sucks, now coffee turned out to be "good to have hot drink" along with the "Butter" Biscuits from local Mediterranean shop.

I could smell the filter coffee...I Love Triplicane...

Cricinfo's Stories....

Content is so important and the one-liner is so important to surround a big story. I always love the articles with stats and Sports is all about numbers.

Cricinfo is good in their thought process and converts many one-liners into great stories. Cricket lovers would love to read all the surrounding facts for the one-liner.

How long India can hold the No.1 spot? From Cricinfo's Story

"India's immediate threat is South Africa, but they will have to beat England by a 2-0 margin or better to reclaim the No. 1 spot. A 2-0 or 3-1 victory for South Africa will take them marginally ahead of India, 3-0 will given them 126 points, and 4-0 will extend their lead over India by three. However, if England win 1-0 or 2-1, South Africa's tally will reduce to 117, increasing India's lead by seven points.

If South Africa fail to recapture the top spot against England, India's reign will receive an extension because even if Australia blank Pakistan 3-0 at home, following a 3-0 win against West Indies, their ratings points will increase only by three to 119. They will then need to beat Pakistan in England - an away series for Australia -to move up the ladder. "

It throws a different proposition to the readers and try themselves drawing a calendar but end up searching Cricinfo for the future tour roster.

Diwali Celebrations...

We had a great Deepavali celebrations in our customer office, huge one. It is rather Indian Cultural celebrations, projected India's North, South, East and West regions, folk dances from different parts, regular mehendi stalls and Bindis, bangles are give aways.

People who attended are so excited and always wonder about India. I was involved in putting the North Region stall displaying the places to visit, monuments, food, dress, dance, music and wedding. Why am I picked North, because South had more volunteers. And I wanted to learn about North and I learnt a lot.

We all felt like exams are over because too much of craft work, chart, banners, decorations and finally we felt nothing to do.

Another interesting thing for Deepavali celebrations, Tamil, Kannanda, Telugu and Indian Association had separate celebrations. And on top, City of San Antonio bursted fireworks for the first time and Mayor did a speech for Deepavali.

I always waited for the 2 days to come so that I could do fireworks. But, this time I felt too much celebrations without parents, sweets, new dress, fireworks. Then what the heck was this for...

Sleepy..Not Totally Weird..


I could say that I am blessed when it comes to sleep. I can sleep where ever or whenever I want to but I cannot sleep for more than 6 - 7 hours. Ok!! they are few exceptions 8 - 10 hour sleep if I didn't rest myself for more than 20 hours. My Gene DEC2 problem nothing I can do.

I can be dead like for hours on the couch. I cannot sleep with my eyes open, I tried during my work hours but couldn't succeed. Believe me..

Which part could be the weird one? I keep my laptop beside me, on my lap or alongside and rest myself. This had happened more than once, You would see a happy man with full enthusiasm chatting with you from other part of the world and suddenly black out like power failure. I can go from Sleep Stage N1 to Stage N3.

My room mates had made fun of me, taken pictures in different weirdo positions and me lying around different parts of the apartment. Definitely not Drunk...I don't drink.

Sorry to all if I geared up fully and all of a sudden shut down, it will be because of my sleep cells.

New Bet...

Murali and I have got a bet which everyone would have sometime. Weight Loss and the D-Day would be November 15th and we decided to transact with money.

We have already formed alliances to bring down each other's efforts though not constructive but some serious plans are going on.

I am cautious on food, dammnit ok I am really food lover, I love to cook, eat and taste different cuisines... It's gonna be tough if we don't control the food.

I have heard three of friends with no connections have taken marathon to bring back to shape. I think I am in need of partner...Will update on November 15th...

Reason to Acknowledge

Does Men always wanted to justify their actions? Always trying to hide their emotions and show off their analytical calculations in arriving a decision.

Professional side, We always try this to way beyond extent. We want to get it right any time.

Do you think, this will sell when it comes to personal life? Nah, personalities around us will know it, we are fooling around... Men to Men is okay, both are egoists avoiding each other pride falling down. But when it come to Women, it just take a Sorry to put all your things back in track.

Be careful when you use it, Women knows when you really mean it.

Kick Start...

Something rare needed for me to update my blog and I believe waking up 5 am is really rare sign. And also made me to realise how my blog was updated for a while.

So many things are happening, I went back to India for 2 months, started watching TV shows, playing cricket and Tennis, reorgs in the work. If we need to list out, we find so many reasons for not updating, let me kick start again...

And I am thinking to blog lot about my travel experience in US but when it comes to Finances credit-debit calculations, damn why I like Geography.

Time Management in Car - Women are the best...

What can be done during a 2 mins signal stop light?



Guys would,



possibly gaze around,

peek through the next door cars,

pull around the person seated inside the car,

change the CD or tune to different radios,

discuss different car models,

Complain the stoplight delay..



She can,



do a quick coat with her powder

do the eye shade

quick on eye lashes

layer of lip stick

check the lights and the mirror...



This is from real experiences, definitely I was gazing over the car beside me..

First Post...this Year 2009...My Parents trip...Vote of Thanks...


#1 My parents visiting me and was roaming around different places in 3 months. I was constantly hooked into travel websites, travel deals, ticket deals, hotels and car rentals. I can still bet I can find better deals when it comes to travel in US.  

Guys, I would say the road trip with my parents from New Jersey to Washington DC and Phoenix to Las Vegas via Grand Canyon ;) were the best. You won't realise you have so much to talk for long hours with your parents. It's quite a different feeling. I would ask anyone to take this trip anywhere.

I should thank my friends who have accomodated my parents and I for those three months.
