First blog from Scandinavian neighbourhood - Finland!

3 days since I arrived in Finland on Tuesday eve. A cool cold place. Finally, a break from Chennai ;)
Flight to Helsinki from Chennai was good. European airports are way too good, both in size & service. But then now we've our very own IGI Delhi to boast of.

Looks scenic but need time to check out more on that & the worst thing is I don't have any company to explore or a cam except my amazing N73. Still...the plan for today is go for bowling with new roomies, hope I'll have some good time. I have no idea what's happening in India for past 4 days (got no lappy either). Btw, its formals in office on Fridays too...WTF!!!

Rest of it is same as Chennai, only 3 differences...
1. Here it's cold, there it was freaking hot.
2. Here they speak Finnish, there it's Tamil - both alien lang. for me.
3. Here the common skin color is fair, there it's a little dark. (No pun intended)

They say new people here let the ground kiss their butt a lot during winters coz of snow, I hope I don't get lucky as snow starts in about 2-3 weeks......

That's it for now. Till next entry....tc..njoy.

Rains....fun or mess?

There were times when we all used to love rains and waited all over the year when we would go cycling in rain or to take rain bath on the roof or in the open veranda! It'll all be fun to go to school on the bicycle wearing a raincoat and while coming back home raincoat would save only the bag!
But in the last couple of days as I'm in Faridabad...rains have created a different world altogether....water logging as if ppl should get some boats here...if condition in the poshest sectors 15-16 is so...what would the condition be in not so good areas here?....it was like a lake in sectors 19, 8 etc!! And with all this goes away the momentary thought of me agreeing to my Dad's thought of settling down in Faridabad.
And as I'm writing this blog about not so good faridabad, I'm having breakfast of pakoras with tea in the backyard, as it's raining here in Faridabad! :)

India o India!!

It's raining in Tamil land! Weather was good when i reached home but atmosphere was already hot as I entered inside....Rahul Mehra was there along with Arnab on Times Now! Arnab might be cool at times but Rahul....naah...at his usual best..to the point! n pissed off at full of bulls**t Indian politics. Acha hai...Acha hai....Gussa bahut acha hai :)
Why the hell don't these politicians spare sports from politics? Anyways no-one can stop them from eating fodder or doing mining or sending money to swiss accounts but the least they can di is let things improve. By letting development they won't lose their vote bank. Need an example? look at Gujrat.
Hope India doesn't wins Olympic bid or else again my money will again goto someone's black pocket :) and it'll be wonder of wonders if CWG is success! Idiot Kalmadi will get to brag again....even we don't medals in double digit.
-With that it's time to say good night......have a good time!

Sharing n Spreading Love

An incident that occured about an hour and a half back left me with many emotions erupting. If one was of loving, sharing and caring, the another was of hunger, grief and the condition of not so privileged people....yes, its true that for many people it's tough to get even square meals a day.
A poor kid comes to us asking for money/food...and no, he was not begging...all he wanted us was to buy the ear buds he was selling!! But as so called educated n sensible people we are supposed to be, we just asked them (he was with his sister possibly) to go by....but then, are they taught to leave just like that? Finally he does gets a piece of pakora we had on our table.....n then what I saw was one of the things which have left an impression on my heart forever.....
This kid walks up to his mother and younger sis and gives them what he had got for them & walks up to some other person in hope of something else...food or money to buy food, whatever it might be.
I don't know whether this kid was hungry or not but he had the love, respect and feeling of sharing things....that may be I don't have as much as him.....had it been most of us, that pakora piece must have been processed by our intestines immediately.
Well, I felt something today but did I learn something or not? Not sure... only time will tell.

Pyaar Dosti aur Masti

Wishing u all a belated merry x-mas...It must hv bn tough for Santa to shower gifts this time for the strong chill wave in whole Europe & most of the US. Seems like 2012 is approaching anyways...

Well, have u thought of any resolution this new yr? If not then let me share wt I have...

I'll turn my vehicle's engine off at traffic signal every time I know I've to wait for more than 10sec.

Now coming to the point of today...

Chennai mein masti is actually is not so sasti coz everything here is either so cheap that u wont like it or if its gud n u like it, it ll burn a hole...not only in ur pocket but ur bum too... ;)

Up there is my pic when I was not driving a F1 car...

Went to blur...raced bikes & cars with n against Dattan played a few more video games n then tried our luck for 3 idiots or Avatar at Inox (Chennai)....lol

anything else??????

yes, Churches...they look beaut[h]iful...this reminds me of cathedrals also, I dont know the exact difference b/w these 2 christan place of worship, will google tomm...

I don't understand that when Chennaites pronounce Bhati as Bhathi, n Jyoti as Jyothi then why not beautiful as beauthiful or Elephant as Elephanth....lol

I am not taking a gig at any lang., but some things r funny everywhere...... :)

3 Idiots

Happiness...smiles...n most important of them all....Peace.
P.S. (its pre script here) ;)
3 Idiots are in Gurgaon
and for another 3 idiots.....2 r here n 1 is in somewhere b/w Gurgaon n Noida.
Well this blog is dedicated to & is for MEBs (for others, your brains might need to work-hard a bit to identify with things here)
I heard from MEBs 3 idiots after a long time tonight!! It does makes you feel good to have friends who call you up when they hear that you r happy....thanks 2 you idiots if you are reading this (the right idiots will know). Damn these guys who r going 2 Mcleodganj without me to find a rave party & to become a MAN...lol
It seems i ll see the winters this season...I don't know what this season relates to actually...except the feeling of cold n heat u need all the time ;)
Wanna know what was so special about this day????
Had 3 calls today....A call that was expected, one unexpected call & one awaited.......ahh...life is good again.
Why it happens that as soon as you have forgotten to hope for things, the hopes fulfil....the wishes are granted, out of nowhere....did the Santa come before Christmas to grant wishes this time? hehe...now that the winters have truly started in upper part of India, it makes me smile to feel if winters actually bring happiness to some people.....n with Christmas down the week....the bells have started to ring!
There is someone who deserves a special mention in this blog....& Peehu, its you :)
Had you been not there it would have been very tough if not impossible :)
Feel like playing Pacman today.. Game on!!
n can someone get me Gajar ka halwa???? hope someone heard me... :)

Love, friends, family n gaajar barfi

Well this one comes after a break from work...from whatsoever important, urgent, sensible or insensible or unimportant things with one hell of week getting over n one coming up.

Finished reading Chetan Bhagat's latest "Two States" yesterday. An enchanting tale of a couple - a gal n a guy, who make it together because they love each other.....It's a must read kind of stuff of those who are in love n more for those are not!

This was a week that reminded me of a few old beautiful moments I had in Chennai a little long back...splendid weather, mesmerising sunrises n sunsets.

Finally had some rest today after months of unrest when I was only with me (thanks to my stomach n my intestines), listened to those beautiful songs someone gave me n a video someone allowed me to shoot....
I dunno why but today i am missing a few ppl a lot....the ppl who meant world to me at one time in life or another. If at some point of time they were my frenz, at another it was maa and at another time it was her. Sometimes we wish to give away everything just to get a few things back....well, they are the world then, it ll be worth it.

And now I am waiting for gaajar barfi from Delhi to arrive.
