The busiest month every had.

Hi ,

After a long time , really I did not have a time to write a blog.This month I had good outing and all the 30 days were busy with study ,work and fun.

1st Week End (Nov 1st 2009)

I had been to Bangalore with my father to attend a marriage of our family friend.
My father took me to the place where I had born, It was was new to me.There is a old lady ( house owner of that home where we lived running 80+ years) was so surprised to see me after 20+ years. She could recognize my father and she told me that "I took care of you and your mother when your were was born in my home". She really blessed me from the core of her heart , It was really heart touching movement.

My dad showed me the place (his fast food center, Movie Theater , juice shop) where he had enjoyed his bachelor's life.
It took my father to his golden period and he started singing (Gnabagam Varuthey , Gnabagam Varuthey from autograph movie).

Happy week end for my father and we were back home.

2nd Week End (13th and 14th Nov 2009)

It was with my team, Week End started for us on Friday itself. We had booked for the movie (2012) first day third show. I have never saw an English movie on first day.We had to compensate the Friday working hours on Saturday.
On Saturday we had planned for a Team lunch outside.We went to a new restaurant (The Rock by name ) near to our office.
The Rock really rocks for its theme ,variety of dishes also the dishes tastes better.
It was a big treat and Suganthi my friend (alike my sister) informed about her engagement to the team.


3rd Week End (22ng Nov 2009)

It was the engagement of Suganthi. Started alone from here as every one in my team were busy with their schedules on that day.
It was a small town near Vridhachalam. I reached marriage hall with the help of Prabu my collegue. The function started and she introduced her fiancee (financee), we had a small conversation.We all went to Suganthi home , which was little bigger in that locality.Stayed there few minutes and we started back to home.


4th Week End (28th Nov 2009)


A pilgrim trip to Thirupathi , We started Saturday morning to Thiruchanur and visited godess Padmavathi (W/O lord Venkateshwara).
Every one must visits Thiruchanur after or before going to Thirupathi.We had a lunch provided by the temple in Thiruchanur and then we started to Thirupathi.
We hired a jeep to go to Thirumala from Thirupathi. It was 25 kms from Thirupathi to Thirumala.
We just refreshed in a near by room and started in the Gaint queue by evening 7PM. It took around 5 hrs to see the Lord Venkateshwara .
Next day we vacated the room and started to Sri Kalahasthi 42kms from Thirupathi on the way to Chennai.We went to that temple had nice Dharshan and come back home by late evening 10PM.

Monkeys Drama in the falls

Hi ,

Once again to the same falls with my friend Ragavendran and his colleagues, we were eight of us.
We started from his home by car (Tavera 9+1 seater).We were the heroes to that place since we had already visited that place.It was almost the same story as described in the previous one.
But this time the experience was quite different from the last visit.
Last time when we went to that place we could not go till the falls(main falls). We just enjoyed its stream (running water) and were back to home since we found it difficult to climb the hill and we were running out of time.This time we planned to reach the eye of the falls.We went easily till the place where we had visited last time and from there it was so difficult for us to climb up the rock.

I am sure without the help of my friend ragavendran , I could not have crossed that place.
I should be very thank full to him.He literally carried me on his shoulders.When we reached the end of the place we found that we have to swim across the stream in order to enjoy the falls.
We were able to see that from our eyes , but could not go there as we don't know swimming.
Few among us went to the end of the falls and enjoyed that place. Me , Ragavendran and other who did not know swimming we just enjoyed in the streams.I wanted to take some snap shots were we had (nokia N95 and Sony Cyber Shot) cameras belongs to Ragavendran.We had them on the plastic cover , I just opened it and took some snaps and kept it safely into that plastic cover.Few seconds later a monkey came very swiftly and took the cover top to the hill (40+ feet) there is no way to reach the place.It just left that cover without any damage.

My heart were pumping like anything as I was the last one to use it.I felt the mistake was mine and I was in neverous.Everyone of us were tensed , we were trying our level best to get it down.One of my friend by name Viki started climbing the hill to get it , but he failed as he could not reach the place as easily.Every one of us were trying to get it down.But all the ideas failed.

We were waiting there for more than an hour without any solution to get the things down.
After few more minutes another monkey came to the place of that plastic cover and opened it. The monkey took the camera from it and left it down the rock ,the camera bounced on few rocks
and was about to fall on the gound , but I caught it safely within my hands.Now all our thoughts were on the mobile, we had a great confusion here know, We don't know whether the mobile is still in the plastic cover or is it somewhere else near the cover.

Again my friend Viki went to the place tried really hard to reach the plastic cover(risk bearing task).He got the mobile , every one start clapping seeing the mobile in his hand.We got back the things after 31/2 hrs. Thanks to Viki for his help.We were back home happily.

Been to Heaven with My Friends

Hi ,

Once again with my friends Ragavendran , Manoj ,Guru and myself planned to go for Surutapalli a place near Andhra TamilNadu border, There is a very famous Lord Shiva temple where we used to go regularly.As planned Manoj and myself started from home at 4:40 AM and reached Ragavendran home by 5:15 AM and we started to the destination by 5:30AM. We had two bike CBZ xtrem of Ragavendran and Samurai of mine.Guru joined my bike and Manoj went with Ragavendran.
The temple is about 60+ kms from Annanagar(Ragavendran home).Usually early morning are pleasant were sun was yet to get up.We were riding bike.Went to a fuel station and filled our bike and starting toward the highways.Manoj and Ragavendran were talking on their ride,where me and Guru were listening songs .On the way we had a break and had some tea and took some photos and vedios which is yet to be uploaded.We reached the temple by 6:15 AM since we used to go regularly the temple priest welcomed us.

We performed our prayers , and the priest said you are very lucky since the temple was about to close because there was a death near by the temple.We though we were lucky that we visited that temple before it was closed.We asked him that is there any falls near by and he said there is and we asked for that place and we started to that falls.The falls is situated in Andra Pradesh near TADA(Tada falls or Ubbalamdugu Falls). On the way to falls we saw too many mango tress with some mangoes on it and I told my friends shall we take and they said let us take while we come back from the falls , unfortunately we could not come by the same road as we found other was to come back.We asked for few people for the location and at last we reached near that location.There was a check post before entering the falls.From that check post we need to go for another 2kms where there is no proper roads actually it was a small rocky hill , where we need to ride on it.

We reached the parking place , where we have to walk for another 3kms to reach the foot of the falls,We walked there and we found the running water , as soon I saw the water I wanted it to drink as it was so clear, When I went to drink that water my mobile fell into it but nothing happened to it.I drank that water and it was so tasty.There were only fews people (where we can count in fingers) we asked them for the way to reach the falls.We started to go there , before that we saw a very small petty shop where they sold banana's and bis-cute. We were happy to see that as there is no shops around 8kms from that place.We did not buy anything there.

It was 7:40AM we saw a small temple near by , we went there and prayed.We started to move to reach the top of the hills(falls).As we started we could see a place where there was no person other than my friend,in that place we could find the water running slowly from falls (no the exact falls), sun's rays were falling there inside that water with some green light as the water was under the tree ,the water was crystal clear as you could see fished and stones under the water.So we decided to enjoy in that water for few minuted before going to the falls.

The place was really mind blowing as we could not even think that kind of a place. I felt like being in heaven because being with your dearest friends where you are in such a lovely place.
I thank the mother of nature, for inviting me with my friends to her place for having a safe enjoyment.We really enjoyed that place and we had some fear in our heart as it was a small forest were we could not see people.We enjoyed in that place and started to the falls , we walked around 3 kms and we could reach the exact location.We found few people like us and asked them, still how many kms to go , they said it still we have to move, we were tiered and wanted to go back home and there we had a very small falls , where the water was coming between two rocks , we enjoyed there for fews minutes and we were back home by 3:00PM.

People who would like to visit this place, please do not go with less number of persons.
I suggest not to take female to this place.If you are in group of 15 with more than 10 number of boys then you can take women's to this place.Take some food as you may not get any think except banana's and bis-cutes.Take some first aid kit, your mobile won't work here so take precaution for this.
Do visit this place and let me know your comments.

Thanks,
Bharath

WeekEnd to Lalapet and Queensland

Last week from 27th to 29th May there was a function in lalapet temple (My mom's place) where I had been called. I planned to attend the final day of the fest as I could give final touch.I started on 28th night from office at 7:00pm and reached Guindy by 7:30pm , I was waiting for the bus I got a call from my mom that it is raining heavily take care or leave the next day.Since I had started I wanted to go there.I could also find huge breeze and lightening , but still I thought I could manage.I got the bus at 8:00pm and while on the the bus in which I was traveling got punctured immediately I got other bus started towards my destination.I reached near that place by 10:40pm and I had to catch an auto to the home and I reached there by 11:15pm. So it was too late and had to sleep.

Next day morning I got up at 6:30am and had to goto the temple,took my bath and went to the temple and we were 18 of us who have to perform morning prayers , since it was a fest in the temple it will take more time to complete it.We finished the fest in the temple in the late evening by 8:00pm where we had a long break in after noon.Then I came back to chennai the very next day.My friends called me and we had a plan to go for thirunallar and finally we couldn't as
time did not permit us and we went for queensland on 31st may.

First time to that kind of place with my friends I never had such an experience before in my life time.Only once I had been to kishkinta when I was 5th STD with my cousins. We were 11 people few of them were my classmates Ragavendran, Manojkumar , Sudharsan , Srinivasan and Bharath Narayanan rest of them were colleagues of ragavendran.The very first ride was free fall , since I did not have any experience I just wanted to enjoy all the rides.One of my best friend Ragavendran and Manoj accompanied me.That ride was really cool, after that we got splited into two groups since many of us were scared to go on some ride , Me Bharath Narayanan and Manoj were on one group and had really a good time we went almost for all the rides.Some of them were little scary but enjoyed a lot.Time passed by we had lunch and decided to go for water events , everyone were there and we played water polo by rolling my T-shirt as ball.
After that we all went together for all the rides that were pending.We saw a stunning ride (centrox) really awesome piece Check that was really a beautiful ride,It may be scary for some people.Time passed , it was getting late evening and we started to our home.

My suggestion is , if you would like to spend a day with your friend I would suggest queensland.
A place to visit really cool give a try and let me know your experience.

Photos taken in QueensLand is HERE.

Thiruvannamalai on full moon day

Hi ,

Last Friday me along with my friend Manoj and Raghavendran with his father had been to Thiruvannamalai.Manoj and myself started from office at 7:00pm and went to Raghavendran house at 8:00pm , Raghavendran had been to his work and came back at 9:00pm and then we had our dinner at his house and started from his home at 9:30pm.We reached CMBT by 9:40 and go into the bus at 10:00pm.We started to talk about our good old school days and it took us 2 hrs to cross Tambaram.We reached near Thiruvannamalai at 3:30am and from there we had to walk to the temple premises for another 2kms, we got an rickshaw to reach the place. Now we wanted to leave our slipper in a shop and found that all the shops were full and finally decided to leave it around temple chariot where no one will look around it.We went to the temple pond and washed our feet by then it was 4:00am and started girivalam.
Girivalam means walking around the hill(Thiruvannamalai) barefoot.Mutter the name "Om Arunachala" by viewing the peak of the Arunachala hill during the circumambulation.
It is done during night.It is around 14kms and we started , for the first six kms we did not feel anything. we made a stop at the 6th kms and had some sugarcane juice and then we started again for every 1 to 1 1/2 kms I wanted a rest as my leg was paining.Finally we completed by 7:45am.Everyone of us were extremely tiered and wanted a sound sleep , we went to a hotel and had some breakfast and went to the bus stand to catch a bus for Chennai.All the buses were filled before the bus enter's into the bus stand. So we planned to catch the bus before it enter into the bus stand and found there were too many people
like us to catch the bus in the similar manner.
And finally we got into the bus and came back to Chennai.

RTO Office on Saturday(Apr 4th)

I got up early this saturday to get my driving license.
I reached RTO office @ 8:30 and they said it will open @ 9:30.

I just went for a breakfast and small ride on my bike by the time it was 9:25.
I came back to RTO and waited there for five minutes but none of them turned up.
Atlast they came at 9:45 and started their procedures and I got my Driving License form and
I paid the sum Rs 400 for getting two wheeler + four wheeler license.Now they wanted some proof for
ID and address proof , So I just went home got all the evidence that are necessary , by that time it was 10:40.

I came back to the RTO office and waited for the driving inspector and he came at 12:10 , I went to the driving inspector showed him all the proof and he asked me to get a copy of RC , Pollution Control Certificate and Insurance. I took a copy of it and went to his place there were too many driving school people who were flattering this inspector.We were two people who come without any driving school influence.I went to him showed him all the proof, everything was fine for me, for the other man he asked him to get Pollution Control Certificate. Now that man did not were to get it and went to a driving school person and paid him some bribe for him and now the inspector called both of us to see the riding test.We went to the near by ground and the other started and failed his test by leaning his leg down , he called me and I completed the test successfully.
The other men was full of frustration after being paid the bribe.They wanted to take a photograph of mine I went there and was standing in a big queue.Every one there completed all the formalities and one guy come and announced that "who ever has come from driving school please come and collect your license tomorrow".After that announcement no one was there in the place.I was alone there sitting a bench and a lady there told the other men to process my license quickly.

I don't know why almost all the people pay nearly 700 rupees to get their license.I was the only person on that day get my license without any other influence/bribe.

Unusual week

This week I had a really tough time with my development which I never had till now , but still I was really enjoying some of it.
I learned new concepts in OOPS where I did not have a touch with it for a very long time.

This week I really got fed up with working for too many unknown work which I never came across , but still I managed it.

I came to know that there are miles to go for learning and I am still a baby in development and need to learn lot of things on my development.

So I have decided to dedicate my Saturdays on studying some of the concepts in which I feel I should work hard.
