Out of place :)
19 July, 2007
Living in a new city has completely transformed me and has made me independent. I am no more dependant on so many stuff which I had been dependent on till a month ago. My day’s inception - Myself waking up even before my alarm rings or at times even when it rings I don’t snooze it these days. No wake up calls from mom or dad :((
I don’t get my bed coffee. I miss my mom. It’s long since I watched television. I don’t get to watch jaya TV which is my dad's favorite channel [being admk ;)] he watches anything and everything on it and I end up teasing him. But now I miss my dad and his jaya TV too.

When I get ready to college, me and my brother have our breakfast together, fighting who gets the dosa being prepared by mom. Incessantly teasing each other and pulling each other's legs. At the end the whole lot is at my favour.Now that during my breakfast. I find my way to the kitchen and then take the dosa and dine all by myself. no one to tease around and fight for the hot one, I miss him so much badly.
Driving to college on the IT highway in my Scooty has always been something I never grumbled about. I find myself singing along when I ride. Now that I take a lifeless office shuttle to my office, where my i-pod sings but me being in some other thoughts, I miss my Scooty and the amazing IT highway. The traffic is threatening and is sick at Bangalore. I rarely go by bus in Chennai but then i have made note of bus routes from my place to MG road or commercial street and to the railway station .amidst the heavy rush and long journey i am learning to like it.
The crowd at my place is not all that new .It is familiar and makes me feel at Chennai especially Velachery.

In spite of all the musings that one can lament over being in a new city, it is the climate of Bangalore that is soothing me and making me feel fresh. I relish my travel to my office in the morning with the cool breeze over me. and the drizzles in the afternoon and late evening make me feel pleasant. Watching the take off and landing of the flights, from my terrace makes me feel good. And must-to-be-mentioned my workplace is cool and I would be exploring much newer aspects of my new adventures in the outside world independently!!

Of packing and moving !
27 June, 2007
Moving to a new place never meant SO MUCH to Me. Yeah it’s all-new.With lots of advices and wishes I am set for moving on! :)
SET?? Ahem. This cannot be from tip to toe true .I have no mood to move on! I am just lazing around in my home, and now its all very tough!
Packing to an out-station for tours and trips just stopped with taking up all necessary stuffs like dress, paste-brush-soap, comb, etc. But now the list seems to be completely long including vim, surf, hanger, clips, clock, etc., etc. Why not it includes my passions –Books and Music.
I make sure my mp3 player is loaded with all my favorite collections, my pen drive, digital camera and its battery charger is in. Call Me a Technical Savvy! I wanted to have a video I-pod (will get in august probably).
Name it Technological Development!
I read an article in today’s paper classifying youth into two categories - those who are equipped with all tech gadgets & gizmos and the second “the wannabe’s”. Yeah! Technical gadgets seem to have taken over our life and define self and no exceptions are made for me.
Moving to one of the advanced cities (read: Bangalore) in India, I don’t know how it’s all going to be for me. Catching trains or buses to come home during the long awaited weekends has already become my nightmares! The climate in Chennai is cool (!!) and I assure everyone that this is how Bangalore is going to be. Assurances apart but I WILL miss home like hell (understatement!!) and why not my good ol’ Chennai!
So keeping this post short and will get back to you with my musings at the new city sooner!

LOVE YA CHENNAI
23 April, 2007
Prologue: This one was written for a contest !
Come South, here I am welcoming you to a city of diverse ethnicity, the alluring metro CHENNAI. 20 years in this city has marked a great difference not only in me but also in anyone who loves the place not only as city but also as a mother. A city with amenities like Multiplexes, Shopping malls, and Food courts, beaches, and lots and even lots more. Chennai offers you world class living milieu.
Wanna drive on a lane that is traffic-free as in the US, then take a drive down the IT corridor leading to the ECR driveway. Wow ! Chennai rocks.
Jaded of the serene drive ,get into the city ,explore the congested areas of Chennai . Mount road , Kathipara junction , T nagar – This is Chennai making you have a amusing drive in high traffic .Experience and have fun !
So now are you dead beat of self –driving . So why wait ? Get into an auto, share auto or bus .Experience the bitterness of life. Fight with the auto driver for the high fare. But still amidst all these , our chennai autos get you to the desired destination in time and your work is done !
Are you a software engineer , earning in thousands .If you are swaggering that you have only hundreds and dollars and credit cards in your purse , then why don’t you try “One day bus travel “ Get into one of the MTC buses , give your hundred or fifty for exchange of a ticket . The next word that comes out of our conductor is “Change ??” So if your answer is No, now be ready .Our conductor is to shower his abuses on you . This is Chennai helping you to experience every little thing in life.
Whacked of work all through out the week.So its Sunday and where to head ??
Chennai is famous for its Beaches. So go to the beaches of Chennai either Marina or Elliot’s or those on the ECR. Grandeur of beach or Garbage of Beach – you can enjoy both in Chennai.
IT parks, Tech parks ,Food courts , Cultural events , music festival , traffic diversion , flyover construction – The one place with all these and anything you want . Thats my Chennai. Love ya chennai.
