MEN ARE ALWAYS HONOURABLE


If a female is reading this article then just realize the value of a man; and if its a male then feel proud of after reading it!

“One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, “Why are you crying?”

The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living.

The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe. “Is this your axe?” the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, “No.”

The Lord again went down and came up with a silver Axe. “Is this your axe?” the Lord asked.

Again, the woodcutter replied, “No.”

The Lord went down again and came up with an iron Axe. “Is this your axe?” the Lord asked.

The woodcutter replied, “Yes.”
The Lord was pleased with the man’s honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.

Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, “Why are you crying?”

“Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!”

The Lord went down into the water and came up with ANGELINA JOLIE “Is this your wife?” the Lord asked.

“Yes,” cried the woodcutter.

The Lord was furious. “You lied! That is an untruth!”

The woodcutter replied, “Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said ‘no’ to ANGELINA JOLIE , You would have come up with CAMERON DIAZ . Then if I said ‘no’ to her, you would have come up with my wife . Had I then said ‘yes,’ you would have given me all three. Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care
of all three wives, so THAT’S why I said yes to ANGELINA JOLIE .”

The moral of this story is: Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit of others.

That’s the story, and they are sticking to it! – “WE ARE HONORABLE MEN!!!!!!

Great Lakes Alumni Meet


Yesterday it was out alumni meet Great Connect. We are one notorious batch where we had fun mixed with performance. So there was noting to complain about our batch. Also we are known for our unity. So we didn’t have excuse to have a mini re-union. 

Since most of out batch-mates were from other cities only a handful of us were able to make it. So people who marked their attendance were Captain Ravi, Srikanth, Mani Maran, Tamizh, EPV & Yours Truly. 

So we all assembled in our favorite place Green Meddows Resort @ Palavakkam. Our original plan was to meet by 2 o clock. Have Lunch and leave the place by 3 o clock top our GLIM new campus @ Manamai. But as usual folks didn’t want to miss a great opportunity of being alone & we were back to our track and we started by 5 o clock. 

We reached GLIM by 5 o clock and I must say it was really stunning campus. We missed the morning sessions to tour the campus. On reaching the campus; 

  • We had chitchat with our mentor Uncle Bala.
  • Group alumni photo.
  • Photo with our batch.
  • Followed by Q & A session with uncle. 

Then we didn’t want to join the beach party. Instead we headed to a 9th feet bar in Neelangarai. Then folks re-charged themselves, finished dinner and we dispersed. 

Though I portrayed things in brief. It was really enjoyable moment to be with your classmates after a while. As we were; 

  • Pulling down each other.
  • Calling folks getting updated from them & again pulling them down.
  • Talking current trends like (Telengana, Climate Change etc)
  • Then we flashed back and cherished our schooling days. 

Now we have fixed up a time for next re-union. It is during April @ Pondy.

What an experience


I can’t believe my eyes. I don’t know if I had this much discipline. Let me list down the list of events; 

  • Reached office by 11:45 PM from alumni meet to see Rooban.
  • Checked emails, had some word with Rooban and went back home.
  • Directly went to Lu along with my notebook. Only to notice there is no net connectivity.
  • Get upset with BSNL. But had some small grub, made some calls & settled by 1:30.
  • Then thought I can run on treadmill but was upset because of BSNL & was in no mood to workout.
  • Then tried to crash. Felt like mad without laptop next to me.
  • Also not blogging my experience made me even mad.
  • Felt tired & sleepy but was unable to sleep.
  • Was awake until 3:45 AM and that is when I noticed I must blog.
  • Then I woke my mom & proceeded straight to office and reached here by 4 AM. 

Only now I can realize how addictive blogging has become to me and I’ve no regrets for this habit. 

So I made couple of blog post and time to go back home and crash =;.

Nice Job Suresh Ramaswamy


Today I got a link from my friend Suresh Ramaswamy alias Anand Erode that had showcased the pictures he shot from his camera during the New Year eve.

I was startled for two reasons; 

  • For the marvelous firework show.
  • Realizing the photography skill of my friend.

He is a talented chap from his childhood days & one good thing about him is still hungry for new hobbies and excelling in it.

I miss him these days. Mate I wish to spend next year new year with you in Singapore and learn some photography & enjoy the show.

These three tops my list;

New Year Bash


Last year I had a silent new year and this year I was determined to have a great bash. When I was brainstorming the way to spend this New Year. I got a call from my friend KaviRaj of AreaPal. He invited me to Yogi-B event, which he co-hosted. 

When I asked one of my friends he said we could accept the invitation, as Dr.Burn was his friend & also our music director friend BoBo Sashi wanted to make it. 

Upon reaching the place by 10 PM Kavi asked us to keep the expectations low. On entering the place it was absolute ciaos. People were upset; 

  • For poor service.
  • Shortage of food.
  • Bouncers handled things badly. 

But we enjoyed to the core because; 

  • We got free invitation and we had nothing to loose on service or food shortage.
  • Co-organizer KaviRaj was on his high and I enjoyed with his company.
  • Since we had BoBo & Rooban (Dr.Burn’s Friend) we got linked with YogiB & Dr.Burn.
  • We added fuel on the angry crowd and enjoyed their actions. 

Over all it was an electrifying New Year party. Thank you Kavi, Rooban & BoBo. 

These were the snaps taken with YogiB, BoBo & Dr.Burn.

3 Idiots must be a wrong name


Yesterday 3 idiots from Chennai went to watch the movie 3 idiots & I can say we were real idiots. I don’t know how come a person like Amir & Madhavan be called idiots as they showed class in their acting as well as they were not idiots in the movie as well.

I’m must say this movie will find a place in my all time favorite list. It is nice to see how film makers are taking reality by showing things which were our own experience.

I can very much relate my life with that of R.Madhavan in the movie I was not interested in studies but I wanted to be a Don or Sportsperson. I was an athlete & a football player and I represented zonal. Owing to my poor performance in my academics my parents didn’t permit to play and I had to succumb to my parents. I can accept no parent want their kids to be donJ.

Then same happened when I wanted ventured into entrepreneurship. But this time I went bravely to my parents and spoke my heart.

Coming back to the movie it was a great mix of motivation, fun, humor, emotion & music. I must say Amir Khan is taking Indian cinemas to new dimensions and no wonder the movie her grossed 120 crore in 4 days.

Also we must give due credits to rest of the cast as i see no one has done a mediocre performance.

I wish the movie to be more successful.

Recollecting 2009 resolutions


We are approaching the end of 2009 and this last day i want to recollect all the resolutions i had for 2009 and how successful am i in full filling those resolutions. Let me list the resolutions;

Resolution 1: Lead a simple life.

As per this resolution i wanted to lead a simple life where in i didn’t to board Auto-rickshaws, Flights, Taxi’s. So i travel through cheapest traveling option. To my satisfaction I can say I full filled this resolution as an individual. I think my CFO Mr.Bala Murugan is the best person to endorse this :).

Then not to purchase Gadgets, expensive dresses etc. Again you can endorse my success in this by seeing my Mobile phone which i was forced to buy because my old one was dead. Yes i got a mobile for Rs.1800/- only.

Resolution 2: To Blog Regularly.

Again you readers can endorse me by seeing my Blog Logs. I’m happy to full fill this resolution too.

Resolution 3: To have more Vagabond trips.

Starting this year i had lot of Vagabond trips to places like KanniyaKumaru, Munnar, Coimbatore, Kodaikanal, Thirunelveli & Theni. Then after May i wanted to take a break for 3 months because of summer. Sadly this year it was a long summer as heat waves lasted till October. So i can say i was 50% successful in full filling this resolution too.

Resolution 4: Workout and have a good physique.

Let me confess i failed miserably in this :(. I worked out promptly till May then after that i went back to dogs.

Resolution 5: Build my Networks.

  • With the help of Mr.Bala Murugan i got hold of lots of friends & acquaintance in business.
  • I went to Madurai without any friends and today i can say i’ve atleast 100+ friends at madurai and thanks to Sathish & Maverick Fitness Center.
  • Then with the help of my friend Roshan & Inshape Fitness Studio i got linked with lots of Celebrities.
  • Lots of friends through Twitter, Linkedin, Peerpower & Facebook.

So i can give a pass mark for this resolution too.

Resolution 6: To get a groove into CCS as it is a new zone for me.

  • After bootstrapping in a shared office, we have moved in to our own office.
  • With clients in all the services (other than franchise) we offer.
  • Breaking-even for last 3 months.
  • Increasing the team count for CCS.

I must say I’m happy with this resolution too.

To conclude this is the first year where in i’ve a pass mark to my resolutions and also this is the first year where in i’ve a list of resolutions too. Now it is time to sit and rework on another set of resolutions and wish i blog the experience of coming years resolution same day same time.

Until then wish to be successful in accommpolishing next year resolutions too.

Wish you all a happy 2010.

With Puneet Rajmumar


Last week i had been to Taj Fishermans Cove & happened to meet Puneet Rajmumar.

Why I Love Inglorious Bastards


Before getting to explain why i like Inglorious Bastards. Let me confess why I watched the movie;

  • First because it was directed by Quentin Tarantino
  • Second for Brad Pitt
  • Third for Melanie Laurent
  • Fourth I Love Jews

Now coming to the movie I can say there is none other to compete Quentin when it comes to narration. The movie has different chapters and it is all well aligned & tried very well in the climax.

Second best aspect in the movie is its Sound Track. There were several chapters and all the chapters had different background score. I particularly loved the background score for the climax.

Third is the performance of the artist. Though I’m a fan of Brad Pitt & he has done his role exceedingly well i must frankly confess that Christoph Waltz has carried away the show with his best performance.

Now how i can stop thinking about Melanie Laurent. I love her performance in the climax where she falls to a German after shooting him. She had expressed fear, arrogance, romance, charm everything i must say she is a beauty angel blessed with great talent. I wish i meet her sometime in my life time.

Inglorious Bastards is on the top 10 hit Hollywood movies list for the year 2009 in India.
