A Cute Little Angel

Its about the cute little angel who brought us the joy of happiness.....
SreeGayathri, my niece, is my darling.
She made me come alive like Phoenix, whenever I was burnt by real-time problems.Her innocent smile will do the required magic and she is somebody who would quarrel with me if I dont take her for a walk in the beach, if i do not take her to the ice-cream parlour everyday, ofcourse stealthily....
Some true lovely moments in my life.....
  • To try out everything possible and earn a kiss from her.
  • Continuously surfing the TV as per her command, leaving people behind helpless.
  • Try and feed her by narrating the stories (bearing the risk of beaten by her, if the story gets repeated).
  • When the litte angel falls asleep on my shoulders.
  • When She becomes my saviour/rescuer at times when I get scolded.
  • When she started supervising my sleep, food.
  • Whenever she gets (acts) angry with me (When promises incl beach-walk, ice-cream are broken).
  • Everytime she calls me Chitappa....

Now that She has moved to another City and have started going to School..... I miss you darling.....miss u a lot...

Happy Birthday SREE.......

Imsai Arasan 23-M Pulikesi


Simbudevan deserves a Creative Award for his Debue Movie "Imsai Arasan 23-M Pulikesi". The idea is raw, fresh and quite amusing as well. Simbudevan, the man behind the Vikatan Cartoon Jokes - On Coward, Crazy King Series has coined all of them into a Film.

Whats so creative in it? Arguably (IA23P) would be the first Indian/Tamil full length Comedy Movie to be centered around the historical era of kingdoms. Seems that the director has collected a lot of historical evidence to make the movie a real experience than a imaginary piece of Comedy drama. Some may argue that Tughlaq (Directed by CHO) would be the first one inthis genre. But that was not centered around era of kingdoms. Further, it was only a well-made comtemporary political sattire movie.
The Trailer of IA23P has been amazing. Vadivel, ably supported by veterans like Nagesh, Manorama, Nasser, no doubt will make you burst into laughter. Producer Shankar, is another good reason to keep an eye on the movie.....

Creativity @ its best.......

Lost Opportunity.... Can it be created?????

March 31: After a lot of deliberation I decided to leave my dream company, the company loved the most (even now). Having got two offers on hand, it was just the emotional bondage that I had to overcome. I also without fail put down my papers on the same day.
April 07: My Mentors - Group Leader, Mr.Balaji and another biggie Mr. GV flew down to Coimbatore. Part of their agenda was to chat with me. I was asked to wait in the company till all my hard work borne fruits. I was hinted at a Business Development Opportunity (in the Middle East) - My Dream Role, which had brought me into IT industry after my tiring MBA. GV came out with the right carrot. Hmmm... that’s why he is my mentor.....
April 14: Tamil New Year. Got a call from the Middle East Region. It was a brief 1 hour Interview. My ‘future boss’ seemed to be happy with me. At that moment I was required to fly by beginning of May'06.
April 16: Got a mail from my ‘future boss’ that my road to Middle East was not that easy given the amount of traffic (competition) it witnessed. He wanted me to wait for a month to get the final answer.
My group leader (the man who takes anything with a warm smile - definitely admire that quality and sincerely trying to follow that) was so kind hearted that he was even prepared to wait for 1 month and then process my resignation (I certainly did not make a mistake in figuring out my dream company). In the process he only added to his crisis table another task of identifying a backup for me without even knowing whether I will quit the organization.
April 30: My resignation was processed after it concluded that my road to Middle East became a dead end.
May 17: My last day at the CRI Project. Missed the camaraderie, the tonnes of laughter… lemme not get emotional…
May 18: My last day at my Dream Company. I vouched to return back to the same company after all the exceeding aspirations are moderated.
God, It could have stopped at that..... But that’s where my Life is pretty interesting....
May 22: Joined my new employer... Started running again... new ground, this time I need to run even faster.....
May 30: Got a call from Middle East. My ‘should have been boss’ spoke to me. Seems that the deadlock in the process was removed and the road is now free....
But the opportunity is lost..... I wanted to create another......
Yes, I have started running..... The journey continues......
