All Vetti's.......

The last weekend was the worst in my memory, I just didn't have time even to sit & talk with my parents & sis. Sunday, I stepped in to office to check the production jobs & guess what? It was 9.00 in the evening when I left office. Next weekend also I'm in support, god I'm already scared. :-(

I came early to office today for 3 reasons, 1. For Prodn support. 2. To Post this. 3. To go home early :-)

Do any of you have scanners ? I need to scan a huge volume of photos from our ooty trip. I was looking at some of our old photos today. Man we have really had fun. I was seeing our convocation photos when I remembered that it was the day of clash between India & Pak in World Cup. Of course India won, we were watching Pak's innings at Neela's place. Had food & Fun there. Cool.....

Few Third Farewell stuff.....

























































During the convocation day....

We were watching the Match keenly.....




I was actually searching for photos of Gaurav & Nithya in the sets & found this.



Viji used to be one of the studs (fruit ?) in the class




















This is one of the better photos I have of these 2 idiots... Except for this photo either one of them would have their eyes closed in all the photos taken during convocation.



















Ladies special



















Manoj was very busy searching for Vaishu at all places, he can think of...



















Look at the 3 idiots....



















Expecting your thoughts & outpours......

Reading Books

I think this is one of the very few habits I picked from my dad (from the umpteen number that he has). From the school days when I finished the Non-detail books to the present I'm addicted to them. My fav author used to be Jeffrey Archer, but these days it's J.K.Rowling, John Grisham & Michael Crichton. I have finished all of Archer's, Crichton's (except for 1 r 2), Grisham & most of Ludlum, Forsyth, Irving Wallace, Ken Follet, Harold Robbins, Robin Cook (all except COMA), Clive Cussler, Alistar Maclean, Erle stanley Gardner (Perry Mason) & a few of Sheldon, James Hadley Chase, Dick Francis & lots more that I can't recollect now.
I read both English & Tamil books (fiction & non-fiction). The best Tamil book I read is Ponniyin Selvan & the best English books I have read are The Man, Seven Minutes both by Irving Wallace, Kane & Abel, Prodigal Daugter, Eleventh Commandment, Shall we tell the president by Jeffrey Archer, The client, The Firm by John Grisham, A Place called Freedom by Ken Follet & lots more.

How can we say that the book is not good when there is so much following - Manoj
The reply to this is simple, not all thats popular is great. Just think of Anbe Sivam, such an astonishing movie but a big flop. So do u mean to say that it's a bad ? Davinci Code, is a good book in it's own right but it simply is not great.

Just think of the Harry Potter series, how much imagination J.K.Rowling should have had to create a magical world. More like The Matrix.

The Week that never was.....

The past week has been quite a hectic one. These days I'm not doing anything useful, my Burn proj is stagnant & so is my DB2 preparation. It's gonna be like this till May-End, I guess. Anyway, the only fun that I have been having is playing Baldur's Gate-2 with my sis. But even that's gonna stop from today, as her model exams are gonna start :-(

I watched couple of very good movies sometime last week.

A Walk to Remember - This is a very romantic movie, Such a good one. Having seen quite a few Indian (romantic) movies, it's very much like them. I dunno, whether some of our movies lifted their theme from this one or vice-versa. But any it's one of the good Romantic one from Hollywood.

Eternal Sunshine of an Spotless mind - This one was very refreshing one, such a cool one. A different approach to a movie, I don't wanna reveal anything about this. Go watch it ppl......
