Rahman blows my mind off!

For those who don't know,here's some thing that'll make u green wid envy.

I attended the Times of India sponsored A.R.Rahman concert!There were more than 50,000 people in attendance.The main reason being that we all got free passes.

It's a gr8 way for the TOI to start their activities in chennai.I'm sure they'll kick Hindu out in a couple of years.The amount of info in the paper makes me glued to it for almost and hour.

Coming back to the concert,well, it blowed me off my feet.Myself along with 8 other college mates set the ground on fire(if not the stage).All the hits of A.R.Rahman over the years were performed by leading singers like Shankar Mahadevan,Hariharan,Naresh Iyer,Madhushri,Chinmayi,Blaaze,etc.Also on the drums was none other than the flamboyant Sivamani.

The show started with a bang with the arrival of rahman on the stage with the song "Thalapathy" from ATM.The response from the audience was deafening.The atmosphere was energetic and the environment frolicking with excitement.

Almost all songs of Jodha Akbar, Guru were sung as well as hit numbers from ATM,Sivaji,vettaiyadu vellaiyadu,Kandukondein,etc.A.R. also sang his UN "Pray for my brother" song.

The "Vande Mataram" song was a fitting finale for the 3.5 hr long concert.

The KarmaYudh Starts

Yes, you guessed it right fellas,the IPL has started.And what a match it was with Kolkata KnightRiders kickin Bangalore Royal Challengers in a grand way.

And the main credit goes to.....well not DADA but a Brendan McCullum with im scorin 75% of the team's runs.Kolkata made 222 in their 20 overs out of which he made in the 150's.It was a gr8 time watching Bangalore getting bundled out for 78.

I'm confident the knight riders will win the IPL hands down.

Lunch @ the Babu's

Well,I had lunch for the 1st time at the Famed "Babu Kadai" adjacent to the college.It turned out going there was simpler than expected.Today the watchman was rather easy on us and allowed us to go thro the gate instead of the preferred wall jumpin route.

The food there is simply marvelous atleast better than the stupid canteen food I am subjected to daily!With egg and chicken curry what more could I ask for.

With the attendance records stopped last week,that meant we could freely bunk or miss classes without missing attendance.We had to skip the English period but who really cares!!!

For those who don't know,Babu Kadai is just another hut where 15 guys can sit .The environment is right next to the killer NH4 highway.sweating and eating is a unique experience(no fans or ac's here)...

What better way to spend time at the Pennalur Penitentiary than the famed Babu kadai.

PS:No Nair kadai for me(I don't puff).

Industrial Visit

We guys had a fun time today with an industrial visit to the Ennore Foundry.It was a huge place.
What struck me was the molten iron at 1450 c as well as all the high class machinery involved right from the ladles and cores to the final product.





Mech rocks!!!

India crush Aussies in VB series

This will perhaps be one of the greatest days in the cricketing history of India.We have crushed the Aussies 2-0 in the finals of the VB Series and have given an apt reply to their taunts.
As its said,"Actions speak louder than words".Now we know who the "obnoxious weed" really is!!!

Praveen Kumar got the man of the match for his 4 wickets.I couldn't stop my laughter watching Mr.Hopes crying in the middle of the pitch after having been caught out.

But i couldn't watch the match live.I had to hear it instead on the AIR as I was in the class.Heard the final overs while coming back in the bus and had a gr8 time.The AIR commentators are so nice that I almost felt right in the middle of the action.

Back 2 Chennai

Now I've returned to Chennai after having a great time at Kanniyakumari and Kovalam the last few days.These were perhaps one of the best days of my life as i got to visit these places along with my parents and my grandparents.And for those who don't remember I incidentally cut my cake at the Taj kovalam hotel on 14th Jan,sunday(yeah!!that's my birthday).

Well,we started on Friday the 12th and reached Kanniyakumari after taking flight till trivandrum and driving down from there.


The next day we saw the sunrise and visited some temples nearby.I don't know why they made us to strip before entering the temples there!!!Men are supposed to go there bare chested before entering the temples.All u guys out there BAD LUCK cos the rule applies only for the MEN!!!

Then we also visited PadmanabhaPuram palace which was once occupied by Raja Ravi Verma.





Its an awesome architectural marvel.(Made me feel like King). Snapped quite a lot fotos there and then after that spent some time at the Swami Vivekanda kendra where a wonderful panel on his life was put up.


After all these we had a long journey back to Kovalam.More awaited me there.Its a wonderful place with the beautiful beach and the foreigners of course!

The Taj Cove hotel resort is the best I've stayed in till date.Its got a unique style and environment.Feels right in the middle of an Amazon rainforest.It also got its private beach gym and everything one can imagine.


I tried my hand in archery as well and it turned out that i may have been an "arjuna" in my past!!!The Kovalam beach nearby was damn cool n hot as well!!!I witnessed the magnificent sunset.





























All good things come to an end and so did this.Or i must say "All good things keep continuing" as far as I'm concerned!We returned to chennai on tuesday after 4 gr8 unforgettable rockin days!
