Raavanan

Watch this movie with no expectations and with no thoughts of Ramayana or a movie from ManiRatnam etc. You will appreciate it, probably at the second time.

It is one of the beautiful movies from India.

Cons:

• The portrayal of the feelings for revenge being less than the feelings for love
• Expectation: If you are eager to see a modern day Ramayana, you are definitely disappointed, as the movie leaves us the decision to make - who is right?
• Missing of regional feel in dressing etc.
• Bit long flashback in the second half
• bak bak bak - although this was used in the climax as a way of portraying the heroine's 'acceptance' for Veera's stay back request, a better way could have been chosen.

my first safari ride and... go ape too :-)

this is my second go ape activity, the first one in lake district where the trees were super high and hence super thrill.

The Hyd Trip

It was pleasant to be back in hyd, although a short stay. I was busy following my project plan but still had good moments with my team mates and friends.

Played Cricket [Runs in matches: 1, many, many, 0] :-), went to Chilkur balaji, shopped in Inorbit and had fun with friends.

A memorable one and yes, there is a small moment of pride for being back as a client to the same work place where you were an associate just a year back.

I planned this with my TCS friend Subu whom I happened to meet in bus on my way to office. The plan was to roam in Edinburgh on first day, take a coach tour to lochness on second day and to visit Raj's place on third day and go trekking with him in a nearby falls.

Raj is my roommate in Peterborough who is settled in Edinburgh. Although a senior architect and a head of the family, he behaves like a friend to me and is very kind.

The first day went as per plan. We covered National Museum, ate at Kalpana veg restaurant, went to Calton hills and took a short walk on the Royal Mile street at night. The famous but usual Edinburgh castle was reserved for the last day,

The second day went busy with Timberbush coach trip. The guide was funny and more passionate for Scotland calling every top leaders in the world is from Scot origin, few include Bush, Blair, Brown, Cameron...

On third day, Raj picked us up to his home where we had delicious south indian food and started to falls of Clyde with him and his son. The sights on the way to the falls was superb. I was just shooting everything on the way in my nikon. He then dropped us back in edinburgh castle which was our last stop before taking the train.

a nice trip!
