Tears of Joy !!!

This is day before yesterdays news !!!!

I could see a prospective fathers tension, live today... So much excited, so tensed. I'm taking about my collegue JP (pappan) who is sitting just beside my desk. His wife's delivery date was planned for Nov. 10. But few hours ago he got the news that she is taken into delivery room and its going to be sicerian. From that time onwards I could see him absent minded totaly. We both went for lunch now. At the mallu mess he was trying hard to eat and speak something which he couldn't. Felt as if he has lost his senses. He was holding the mobile in his hand near to his ears, waiting for it to ring once and hear the glad news. He had not wait for so long. Just after finishing the lunch, the mobile beeped... Yup IT'S A BABY GIRL... Tears started flowing out of his eyes due to over joy. We all felt so happy to hear the news and by seeing JP's relief. JP has become a proud father of a baby girl.

Congrats JP !!!

Coming back to life !!!

I'm lovin it !!! :-) haa haaaa heee heeee heee heee....

Yet again am successful in setting up something in linux... It gives me atmost pleasure when am on linux. My professional career started with linux n Unix.. Last 8 1/2 yrs I've been keeping this beautiful OS as my ever loving friend. Before joining wipro, I can say I used to live for linux. Day and night I used to do one or another things with this little master. I never had my personal /professional desktop booted with any other OS until unless there is a major need. (like for my friends who are non linux users). After joining Wipro my desktop changed to winxp. Had a bit trouble initially to be with a new OS. Got accustomed coz I don't have any option to change it to linux. Then I bought my LapTop. It again came with winxp. Went on for few months and got bored of it and thought of giving a try for linux again. Then I installed the lovely Ubuntu. Its an amazing linux flavour. But was not so comfortable as I'd used RedHat all these yrs. Recenlty I had a plan to move on to RH. JayanSR got me Fedora FC7. Installed last week. But to my surprise it didn't pick up my Wireless. Was so dissapointed. Last 3 days when every I got time I was trying to make my darling detect the wlan. Today I have split headache... still thought of giving a try. Couple of times failed in installing the right driver and finalllyyyyy Hip Hip Hurrayyyyyyyyyyy I succeeded... Now am UP AND RUNNING ON Fedora with WLAN on. And this blog is the first thing what I'm doing after WLAN is up... Am soooo happy eventhough a part of my head is paining due to sinus........

Three cheers to Me :-)

Dhamakadar Party

Organized an awesome party for Sinkom/Viji and Dhaba/Rosmy yesterday. This time almost everyone turned up from our b'lore team, except few. Total of 17 members were there. 6 families and 5 bachelors. Even though majority of them were families, we bachelors also had a private space. I could see many husbands taking permission for one or two drinks from their better half and secretly multiplying it without their knowledge. I too left myself free and went ahead and drank few shots. Was slightly out but gained control later :-). Have uploaded the photos to flickr.

Now Indias match is going on. But there is no cable coming in @ my home :-(.

Yet another weekend

Yup.. Yet another weekend is on its way... Tomorrow we are planning to throw a party to sinkom and dhaba and their family.
Went and checked the Tempo Traveler rates for our 5x5y trip.
Nothing extra happened today.. An usual day went past...

Photo session

Day started with a photo shoot and ended also with a photo shoot. Morning I took some profile snaps on Bini sir for sending it to Binendra. He had asked me to refer some guys who can act in an advertisement. Binendra is working as a camera man in one advertisement agency here in b'lore. Later in the evening, we had an official group photo session in wipro park for the 5x project 5 years completion. It didn't come out well as expected... Now I just did a post processing of the snaps... Bye 4 now

Very Gud Morning

Woke up very early today !!! (5.00 am IST :-) ). Had to drop Rupesh alias Puresh @ airport. He came yesterday for a short visit from Doha. After a long time I woke up so early. If I remember correctly, last time I got up so early, the day I was driving to Trivandrum. Myself and JP (pappan) went to Salem in his car and stayed there in a hotel. Next day morning we got up almost the same time like today and continued our journey towards Tvm.

Today is a very special day for me... Need to be prepared for that...

Hare Krisna

Did I spell it right ? Yes !!! Here @ ISKCON they say Krisna. Its none other than our Lord Krishna. I had been to that place many a times before, when I used to stay at Mathikare. This time I was a navigator/guide for Sinkom's parents. Yesterday we all started by 10am and reached there by 11.45. Traffic was as usual really hectic. Were slightly doubtful on the timings, but we reached on time. Left the slippers and then went in. Visited all three mantapas. It has become more commercialized now. Saw the animated movie inside. Hmm and bought couple of things. One book on Krishna for my father and another one small idol of Lord krishna. Oops I forgot, I bought my usual sandal chain as well. I've been carrying similar ones from ISKCON in my pocket everyday for the last many years. I used to carry the same till its life time. The one which I got last, broke and I'd kept it back @ native. Now the new one. I feel more confident when I have that with me. Many of my friends who know about this used to make fun of me for such superstitious believes. But for me its more than just a belief. :-).

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare....
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare....
