Pondicherry pics
Took this longtime back. Thought of posting it. Pondicherry is a great place to settle down, no wonder why i say it, its my hometown :)
First is the Gandhi statue in the beach, Second is statue of french governor Dupleix who supported and he was killed by his own people for that, third one is a war memorial for the french soldiers.

Guruvayur visit!
Visited Guruvayur last saturday for a day. Waited for two hours to get darshanam of Guruvayurappan. It wasn't satisfactory but it will be same case even if they allow us for 5 mins ;-D so its ok.
Initially planned to go around places in Thrissur, but we couldn't do it, as we had to return on saturday itself.
I visited only the temple and the place where the temple elephants were made to stay.
Not good pics though.

Old photo!
Took this flower in Oberoi hotel when I went for team lunch here. Actually I did not like this photo much earlier. But it appears nice now :).
Couldn't find time here and the mood to post some in my blog :(. Somehow I am staying a little late today in office and decided to put some post :). Thanks for the regular visitors. I will try to post something everything.

Never thought i could write some kadi jokes... these two are genuinely my kadi jokes... ;-D
ok.. lets get into them...
(JK is not anyone's name.. i am going to have it as Just Kidding ;-D as well as a character)
1.
Scene: JK gets into the house around 8pm making a big noise and then rushing in search of his shaving kit
Amma: hey how many times can i tell you not to shave after the lights (in india(atleast in tamilnadu) many people used to say not to shave after the lights are on in the evening after 6pm)
JK: what do you know mom, i have an interview and i have to be clean.
Amma: irundhaalum indhu konjam over da (really this is too much) after all you are going to take telephone interview ;-D
2.
Scene: JK comes fast into his wife's(she is software programmer) office to get the house keys (as he was going home earlier than his wife)
(on phone)
JK: hey i am waiting outside
Wife: konjam wait pannunga (wait yaar)
JK: what?? you don't know the story of Valluvar Vasugi??
Wife: Whats that?
JK: Once vasugi was taking water from the well and valluvar called her... she just left the water pot while taking it out of the well and it was just hanging (this is a story people tell for how much respect wife's they had for their husband, in tamil they call it as pathini(whats the equivalent in english??))
Wife: oh well, i can also come
She comes out leaving a running program in the middle and she got the program hanging ;-D
hope you got the joke... hahaha
Now a scary thought for you ...
More to come :-D
(hey kars this is for you machi... ;-D )

Back in India!
I am back in india today. It was nice trip overall. I should sincerely thank my friends who made my stay a enjoyable one. Sivakumar was the one who took me to lot of places... without him.. i would have missed lot of places i think... karthik inspite of his busy schedules.. he too spent some weekends with me playing tennis, bowling... got a chance to meet some of my collegemates.. and overall its fruitful journey for business as well as personally :)
See you all after a break! Have some pictures to share, which i took in bangkok on my way to India. Will post them when i find time.

Zabrieske Point!
hill dunes??
http://napoleonp.blogspot.com
This picture was also taken during my weekend trip to death valley. This was taken from a view point called Zabrieske Point, just named after the founder. It appears like a sand dune.. but not sand really... can we call it hill dunes? But a truly amazing place to take pictures... apart from the heat... this visit gave me 285 photos ;-D though not all of them are perfect.... but undoubtedly a scenic place, must visit for photographers :) Kals??

"Lance = Nambikai"
Lance Armstrong, many of you might be knowing him. Truely he is a nambikai natchathiram for me. Couldn't find time to post anything for Narayanan's kavithai poti, but this would have been my entry if I ever found time to write somethis for that competition.
Emerald Bay at its best!

Shot this one on saturday, when I went to Lake Tahoe for the second time. Last time I did not stop at this place to get a view like this. This time I was with my lady luck (my wife :) and got this view point to get a full view of the Emerald Bay with the Fanette Island. Wait for my mail on my driving experience and some more photos :)

good dialogues i have come across over the weekend!
hmm... watched batman begins in IMax theatre here in SJ and thanks to Karthik for taking me there. It was a different experience to watch a movie in a Tomb Screen :) So far i have watched only a show at Planetarium. Ok, coming to the dialogue i liked in this movie...
"It's not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you"
so many meanings to it.. Is it not?? At work, you thought of doing it but somebody did it... before you do it... at game, you had a plan.. but u did not take risk... somebody took the risk and won the game... I felt like this statement is so true. Hope you like it.
Something related to the same topic.. I got this dialogue from American Pie (or American Wedding.. i don't know) Love is not just a feeling, Its that what you do :) actually the sequence will be too funny and i can't share it here ;-D but the message it conveyed was good and i liked it.. and shared it with u all.
