blog-O-circle

I am a blog racist. I read mostly Indian blogs that too tamil blogs. I dont know why but thats me. Funny thing is I find there is a select group there. The writers are the blog are the regular readers/commenters of other blogs. Everything looks like a blog-o-sphere bros and sis. I wish I could see faces behind those blogs. Or rather get to meet them personally - Priya mami, Bindu akka, Nandu, Prabhu ferrari, lensmama Javits, sangu mami. If you want to see their blogs, i am too lazy to link them. Check them at Nandu’s blogroll.

There are ppl like gayathri , kodumai singari who tick me off with their once-in-blue-moon updates. But, its their blog their wish  - i will leave it there.

And then there is me. Nakkal me.

Fun in Florida!

I went to Florida for thanksgiving vacation. It was much needed break. 4days of pure fun. I met Prad (my school buddy) and his 2 friends - Narayanan and Dinakar. Dinakar was reserved and Narayanan was talkative. And for Prad, he is as usual - getting worried if things are not in line. Only change I can see is geesh..he is losing hair. We went to end of USA - yep- Keywest and the gl-amorous Miami .  We were running behind everything - girls, time and even at one time - gas too. We are about to run out of gas while returning back and never I have imagined shell gas station as pit stop to heaven. Pradeepan had planned good and he and his roomie Nara took the pain of driving us all the way. Thanks buds.

Lost in lingerie line!

I am doing thanksgiving shopping now. That time of the year where you are supposedly get big discounts/sales. My wardrobe was shouting about lack of attention. We were shopping in Macys. As usual we split up  and failed to re-group at predetermined point. I went to hunt for my roomie when I accidently entered womens section. I was wondering why the heck all eyes were upon me. Only then I realised I was in lingerie section.  My eyes were wide open capturing  like a multi-shot camera! Here is a funny comparision with mens innerwear section.

• Mens section would be few racks. But the womens innerwear section was a mile long. Seems the shorter the womens garment, longer the display section.
• Mens garments would be three-four standard colors. Womens section would cover the entire rainbow and its million combination.
• Men size just has either numbers or letters. S,M or L or 32,33,34. But for women you need both due to the million variations. 32B, 34DD
• Proverb for Men section: Behind every man’s behind there is a brief. Women section: Many will flip between the cup and the hip

Happy Deepavali!

Its the time of the year

to light the fire cracker

And wish happy deepavali

to all my friends and family

But sitting away in a faraway land not a soul to greet

finding warmth in my coffee’s heat

thinking of the good times that went in the past

wondering why such things never long last

time waits for none is an old  adage

and three things that become better with age

old songs

old friends and

old wine

Earthquake!

I was about to post something else but something has happened.

I experienced a mild earthquake 5.6 richter scale in Fremont, California around 8pm PST. Had enough time to grab passport, cell and my go-bag. My go bag had my certs and specs.

Looks go-bag meets its purpose..atleast in California.  So whats in ur go-bag?

Bad cook! Good cook!

I am a lousy cook. I cant cook other than noodles over the last 4 years. Picture this, I cant take dosa out of the tava neatly. My roomies know either i get them scrambled dosas or dosa brownies (they were not good cooks either…). So i never went back to kitchen for months. Now I had to enter the santum-sanctorium since last week. Guess what.

Boom! things were falling right in its places. Dosas come out neatly, sambars were fantastic ( i tried idly sambar, ordinary sambar). Fried rice was amazing. (He he, I know its not my talent but my luck. )

Hope my luck continues.

New header!

Took the header snap in Embarcedero BART station last weekend. It fitted my blog title to ‘T’.

Speaking of BART, it was very similar to Delhi Metro (or is it the other way around?), except its very dull and boring. No hawkers, no on-board-musicians just white-collared people minding their own business. Not even chit chat.

Okka makka portuguese!

I had to deal with Portuguese in my project. I wasted hours in trying to figure out why a particular query wasnt working. Finally I figured out even the dates are in portuguese. Instead of 11-DEC-2006 it was 11-DEK-2006.

Who would have thought of that.! I never came across a தமிழ்  டெட்டபேஸ் or हिन्दी डाटाबेस in India, why these fellows are having Portuguese db.

Pothum Thunganathu!

My blog was sleeping for long time.  Many asked why my blog அனதைய இருக்கு. சொம்பேரிதனம்!. thats all. So I will try to some paethals daily.
