Wonderful Day..

Yesterday was one of the best days in my life in Hyderabad. I found a true friend. someone on whom I can depend upon. Someone..

Waiting.........

Deepawali..

Happy deepawali.. its said that on this day Rama returned to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana..hence the Ayodhya baasi put up lamps to light up the whole city. Well.. well things have changed now.. here we do celebrate.. deepawali.. but unlikely with deep.. Out here in Hyderabad its hell.. crackers ..crackers.. and crackers.. defeaning.. God knows when will people understand.. that the festival is of light and not of sound..

Great man to work with

Today was my 5th day in office after returning back from my holidays. Working with Dr. Balu (Dr. V Balasubramanayam) was always pleasing. Everytime he explains a lecture.. its wonderful. Today was on Spinal Chord. Hats off to him. His effort to explain a complex medical topic to non-medical people like us.. great.. simple great..

Back to Hyderabad

What a horrible journey. The APSRTC Volvo bus journey was horrible, they probably gave their wrost bus with a driver of similar kind.No shock absorbers.. The driver refused to traved on KBPH route from MG bus stand. All the passengers where supposed to travel on KBPH route. After much arguments, me got a Hi-Tech bus arranged for us from MG bus stand.

Anyways back home..

Last day at Bangalore....

The Bangalore trip was quite relaxing.Re-charged my energies. Will be boarding my bus tonight. Back to Hyderabad tomorrow morning.

Nabami, at Bangalore

.........At last reached bangalore. The APSRTC Volvo (Garuda) bus was wonderful. Probably a new bus. Everything was great, except my co-passenger. Man he was snoaring like hell. The whole bus was awake.
Visited MG Road, hopped around some puja pandals.

Asthami

Am off to Bangalore..oops.. Bangaluru..for a week, for post-puja vacation. Will meet my folks (they have already reached Bangaluru..and waiting for me.. eagerly). Will be travelling from Hyderabad in Garuda (Volvo), lets see how comfortable these buses are...

Well wish you all a Happy Asthami..

Srisailam Tour
(May 27 ~ 28, 2006)

Went with Ravi to Srisailam, for a short trip. Started on Saturday around 16:00 hrs from Hyderabad, and returned back to the city on Sunday around 18:00 hrs.

Srisailam, is a Siva Shrine situated on a flat top of the Nallamalai Hills in Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh. Its is on the right side of the river Krishna at an altitude of 476 m above the sea level.

Back to Hyderabad

Well the marriage was enjoyable.. everything went fine.. I really enjoyed a lot.. the best part was.. everyone was enjoying.. the food was good..

The return journey from Kolkata.. was quite boring... the train reached 2 hrs late..

Pre-marriage day...

Visited Anindya's house.. it for his marriage I am here in Kolkata. I was really excited.. it was amazing to see a friend with whom you have grown up.. ( i know him for last 16 years.. wow..thats quite long).. getting married..

The gaye holud part was the most exciting part.. this is where people put haldi (tumeric) on groom's face.. quite torchorous.. though.. i was enjoying clicking Anindya.. in that position..and saved myself..considerabely from getting "yellow"..to a certain extent..

Tomorrow is the D-day.. have to take nice videos.. lets see what happens..

Welcome to Kolkata

I boarded the train yesterday.. Faluknama Express.. being a superfast train you expect it to reach on time. To my surprise the train was running 40 mins ahead scheduled time. And when it reached outskirts of Howrah station, I was thrilled, that the train was ahead of time. Unfortunately, they stopped the train just before the platform and we were waiting....waiting.. and waiting...40 mins. passed.. so now the train was on right time.. and still it was not moving.. we waited further.. and .. at last when the train entered the platform .. it was 9:45pm, 20 mins behind schedule.. OOh what a welcome...

I was carrying lot of luggage..struggled.. and reached the taxi line at Howrah station.. the taxies were queued up as ususal.. (one of the most common sight at the station) .. suddenly I realised.. those fellows where on strike... oooh..God.. so, had to carry those luggage to anothere taxi line (pre-paid) which was fortunately working. By the time I got in the taxi it was 10:05 pm... and my parents calling me up.. asking me excitidely where I am.. how close to the house... From Howrah station to the Howrah bridge is hardly 3 mins driveway...and when there is a rush, you expect to reach the bridge in 6 mins.. the luck was not with me.. so it took 40 mins.. flat.. the reason.. the traffic police not in position.. probably working on election duty.. great.. what a welcome.. to your beloved city...

Airtel a company for married people.

I had applied for Airtel broadband connection last weekend. Well you know why Airtel.. coz i am bit crazy about them. They promised that the connection will be availabe from Monday (13th feb). It was not so. I was provided the application number, billing cycle, and telephone numberSo I visited them today afternoon. Unfortunately they came up with various excuses. First they said the address verification is not done, then they said.. its worng.. and the last thing they said its not for Bachelors.. By god, i have never heard such crazy thing, in my whole life. Not for bachelors. Its my appeal to all the readers.. do remember that Airtel is only for married guys..

First Week

One whole week of 2006 is gone. My appartment in Hyderabad, is now all set up to welcome my folks. Quite decked up. Hyderabad is also getting hot..day by day. I feel like roasted chicken in the afternoon, when I go for my lunch. After mid-night its too cold. Man what a bad climate. Too bad.

The PBD (Pravasi Bharatiya Divas) just got over. Lot of VIP and NRI visited Hyderabad. The city looked like hell for the commoner's like us. Traffic jam.. traffic diversion...Well.. its India man.. cant help. This will go on till the month end. I think Indian govermnet should develop an Event City.. a city where all the VIP events should be held... man too much.
