long time no see..

Yea ! Its been long time. I was lazy, to write, to blog, simply lazing around. Doing a lots of work, pissed off with the sys admin. And preparing for the ultimate adrenalin rush, mentally, physically and logistically.

On the Personal Front, I got older an year more, I am learning how to avoid questions like "When is the marriage?", "Enna ini ninte Kayyil ninnu orila choru kittunnathu" from the Dummies Book - Engane Anavashya Chodyangal Ozhivaakaam, I attended a lot of marriages, took photos, received the first monsoon rains with open hands and a camera at Kadappoor and Njeezhur in Kottayam District.

And then the finally there is The Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey and I and Abhi are doing it. Right now our babes are getting ready for the ride, and soon will be shipped to Delhi. We are flying to Delhi on 22nd June and 24th the ride will be flagged off from New Delhi. Delhi-Leh-Amritsar in 14days and 7th of July we will reach Amritsar, and finally on 9th back home.

Hmm.. It will be one experience.

Ride Safe.

Tail piece: A Classified Ad designed for me, if I ever put one up, by my mom, sis and myself. My uncle later added -"സൌന്ദര്യം അല്പം കുറഞ്ഞാലും സാരമില്ല, പുട്ടുണ്ടാക്കാന്‍‌ അറിയണം എന്നതാണു ഓന്റെ മെയിന്‍‌ ആവശ്യം."

വിഷുവാശംസകള്

ഓ !! വീണ്ടും വിഷു.

ഇവിടെ ബസ്സുകാര്‍‌ക്കു ആള്‍‌ക്കാരെ പറ്റിക്കാന് പറ്റിയ സമയം.

വീട്ടില് ആരൊ വിളിക്കുന്നു. ഒന്നു പോയിട്ടിങ്ങു വന്നേക്കാം.

യാത്ര ഇത്തവണയും സംഭവബഹുലമാവാനാണ് സാധ്യത. എങ്കിലും കഴിഞ്ഞ തവണത്തെ അത്ര കുഴപ്പമില്ലായിരിക്കുമെന്ന് ആശിക്കുന്നു.

അപ്പോ .. എല്ലാവര്‍‌ക്കും വിഷു-ഈസ്റ്റര്‍‌ ആശംസകള്

lest we forget

In the midst of a disastrous world cup, where a coach died and two paper giants lost...
In the country where the Sachin's and Sania's get the most adulation..
In a time where everyone is blaming every other layman for a world cup debacle ...

One man rose to the heights; in the world of one of the oldest games. A game which is supposed to have originated in India. A game where the Kasparovs, Kramniks and Karpovs ruled the roost for twenty long years. One man with his sheer Intelligence, Patience and Perseverance now rules the World of Rapid, Blindfold and Classical Chess.

Viswanathan Anand.

Lets forget the other sports persona for the time being; and celebrate his Number One ship in the FIDE ranking and let's not sink this historic moment in the heat of blame games now happening across India. Hats off to the AICF, who forgot their differences, and launched the protest against FIDE to include the Linares ratings into this months FIDE ranking List.

Congrats Vishy Anand. You have made us proud, at a time when our heads were down.
