hahaha

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 )

Bangkok!





I had a transit for nearly 20hrs at Bangkok on my way back to India. Just went around some buddha temples and a ride on a private in the canal there. It was fun, but it look no different than india except for these buddha temples. Some pictures taken there are here.

Tajmahal!


This picture was taken last year during my visit to Agra. I feel this is a different angle to get the Taj Mahal covered and I like this photo.

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.

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 :)
