Go-carting

On Sunday, Sri, Subbi,KV and me went for Go-Carting in R.T Nagar. We got
up lazilly and donno what to do. So we decided to go as it was near to
sri's house. The exact place is RTNagar Patel's inn. Its a small track
and the carts were just enough to call it a decent one. But the helmets
were stinky. Its better to take ur bike helmets or u may not ride with a
Feel Good Factor. Also the carts were quite stiff and worn out. But
still we managed to enjoy there. With our sri dashing everyone and
innocent subbi trailling badly , we enjoyed all the 12 laps.But the
lesson i learnt was that there is already a Generation gap between us
and the pre-teens. So don't cart first time if there is a preteen in ur
batch.
Details
Location: Patel's INN RT Nagar (near BDA Complex)
Cost:

Advice:
1. Take ur own helmet if u have one.
2. Make sure no pre-teens damage u in case thats ur first carting

Sunday(s) with ChakDaddy

This sunday the main agenda for me was the meeting with chak daddy. Chak was my classmate in Bsc and MSc after which he did his MS from IIT Chennai (Something on cryptography). He joined Novell Net last week. So all our friends in blore decided to meet up in forum on sunday 4.00pm sharp.
I was in jayas' house in kormangala on saturday itself , so that i will be in forum on time. I am not sure of the reason for the anxiety in me though chak was just a classmate. May be because he was always different from all of us.He was a very dedicated, studious, talented and a really good guy. So i was curious how he will be in Bangalore !!!. Finally after a lot of events which includes a small friendly fight between jaya & kallu and Bhoom movie, we landed in forum at 4.30. Chak was on time and asusual we were late. later, jrk and kv, lingu and partha joined us. But we want to talk, and forum is like a posh city market on sundays(In city market u mind people dashing u , but here u won't). So we decided to go to some coffee day. Jrk and me were hungry (both sacrificed our lunch for this meeting !). We grabbed some puffs and corner house icecreams and eventually landed in jaya's house at 5.30 . Then our chatting and pulling session started. As usual pv targetted kallu and he was our first bakra. But slowly it was shifting and came to PV's gUy funda. Thats it. For once pv was in receiving end. Evey topic and every joke concluded on Pv and the gUy. But he took it cooly(apparently) . Then we all went to nandhini and had a good veg dinner(thax to chak).. Then me, pv and babai reached our house at 11.30 in auto. that was the end of my weekend.

This weekend , the predominant thoughts in my mind were
1. where to buy a house in blore incasei need to ?
2. what sort of girl i will like , my wife to be?
3. Should i join SAP incase i get an offer.
4. Why partha was unusually silent through out the meeting?

Tejas Networks .............

Today is the inauguration of our new facility and state of the art art optical labs in JP nagar. The chief guest was Dayanidhi Maran and Infosys Narayana Murthy. It was supposed to start at 4.00 pm. At 12.00 pm i had my final round of HR interview from SAP(telephonic). It went well and sriram said i did reasonably well. So i was as usual excited. Then the time to go for function came. I was seriously contemplating on bunking it and goinbg for dinner alone. some how my consious priked for attending the function. But the only motivating thing is Narayana murthy. Maran is also my favorite, being young, intelligent, educated, good minister. After much discussion with sri, maddy and jenny, I sat in jenny's bike and went. The function went well. Maran made a real good, short sweet speech. And narayana murthy made some inspirational stuff. One thing is sure. If Tejas manages well, It really has a good future. Management is the key. I really don't want to leave. But i am not happy either. SO i better leave for the good of tejas ! and betterment of mine.
