Cricket and first time Tennis

The weekend was very short though I got up early in the noon. :-) It was very hot for the past two days. Saturday we went to shopping and spent huge amount for the grocery alone. I had a chance to go to the new stores where I was never before (Chinese, American and Indian store). After the shopping we didn’t even have time to have coffee since it’s already 6.15. Yes it was our playing time and we went the baseball ground where we used to play cricket. We were able to play two games and then the rain has stopped us to continue further.

Sunday as usual after getting up late I have directly jumped into lunch preparation. It’s almost 4.15 when we completed our lunch and we had 30 minutes to watch some mokai program in you tube. At 5 we left the room to play cricket, unfortunately the base ball ground has been occupied by the base ball players so we couldn't play there. Then people were searching for the place where we can play cricket at that time I got a company to play Tennis. Tennis is one of my favorite game and I used to watch from my childhood. I never had chance to play tennis. It was really difficult to play tennis than watching it. Yes it took a while for me to put a correct service take the service from the other player. At the mean time people have found some other ground to play cricket. I am back to the game which I know well. Though its baseball ground it was well suited for us. Today the game was little bit tougher and there was aggression from some people too. Now a days the game is getting interested, probably if we get two or three more people to play I can remember the old days where I used to play cricket in my native place.

Dosa by jogging

Wow... It's really nice to have dosa for dinner. That too with Kadalai chatiny... After i came to US it's really hard to get dosa once in a week. Thank god we have a shiva grocery here to get dough when ever we want. Today i went to jogging till grocerry to get the dough :-).... Tomorrow onwards i am planning to go jogging till shiva grocery.

It was a borring day since i was updating the documentation. When i felt sleepy arun's blog and the indian score card has helped me to get up. I hate the documentaion but still i need to complete the documentation by tomorrow :-(.

Still we didn't book the ticket for dasavatharam. :-(
Let's hope to book the ticket tomorrow and try to complete the document too.. :-)

Feels like home

Miami is more or like my home except that my family members were missing. Starting from kayaking till the Indian restaurant everything was awesome. This is the first time in my life doing the kayaking not only that the jet skiing, Para-sailing and the ever forgettable camping near to the sea shore.

Even I couldn’t remember the day when I went to the most south part in India (Kaniyakumari), but now I’ll never forget the place in the most south part of US where I’ve visited now. Yes it’s Key West Island and I will remember each and every second that I have spent over there. How could I forget the Jet Ski ride where I have touched Ninety kilo meter speed? It was true fun and enjoyment in the clean sea water for more than hour. Mano’s spike hair style after the ride will long lost from my memory and the 5 feet jump while kamal was riding that jet. Wow too many memories to remember the trip for the whole time. We were lucky to have kamal over there to let us explore these new places where I wouldn’t expect in future. Thanks da pangu to make this trip a memorable one. All these trip happenings couldn’t be possible without our boss Jag. I hope he will never forget my presence in Miami even if I will. Without him the trip was not so funny that too when we drive to Key West and the camping mokai.

The only bad luck in the whole trip was we couldn’t succeed in the fishing and we were disappointed that satheesh couldn’t continue the trip since he was really busy with his studies. But we will never forget the chicken Biriyani that he made on Saturday night and I am sure that it was one of the best biriyani that I ever had in my life. Till the end I couldn’t have time to ride kamal’s bike but I didn’t forget to get the pics with that.

When they left us in airport all the happiest movements were gone. Yes the flight was delayed by almost two hours and we spent almost 30 mins to collect our packages though we were the last person to get down from the flight. After that the delay was with us till I reach my room, yes the R1 train from airport to central city didn’t go on time because of that we had to cancel our dinner plan. I was waiting in the bus stop to go to my room and it was heavy rain & thunderstorm and it remembers my native place. Even though the bus started on time it reached my place 15 mins late. After that I had do walk around a mile and it was started drizzling. I was trying to run to avoid getting wet since I was too tired I couldn’t able to run. Thank god it was just drizzling not a heavy rain till I reach my room.

Finally I have reached my room and had some good sleep. Now I am back to my battle again. I hope to continue this blog …

100 % Utilization

After a long time i could spend few minitues to put a entry in log file about my status using the old HTML style. It was a 100 % uilizataion for the past 3 months and i need to reboot my brain to back into normal performance. So i have planned to shutdown my services for the 4 days starting from this saturday. The notification has been sent to all the users who wants to squeeze me. Once the miami maintanence is successfully done then my utilization will be normal (May be less than 20 %) and the memory will also be reduced.

Just trying to put mokai in a new way.. :-)

After 4 months But from US

oops... it's been a long time since i wrote a blog. it's hardly 4 months, there were lot's of things happened in this period. Yes after short long time my dream has come true... Yes I am in US now, i was very eager to know what's there in US than India even my US donz folks told me that nothing much. But I had dream about this country and always felt that something special here... :-)
With all those dreams and hopes the shocking news came to me 3 days before I left India... "You got an assignment and you have to work in US for 4 months,,, " I was internally more excited even I didn't do any reaction... Yes I was worried at that time since 4 of my project folks left India for a project here one day before i got this shocking news..... I was wondering at that time with whom i will go for a tea or lunch,,,, After i got released from ISG those 4 have filled the gap of subbu, sam and thangs.... But the worry has gone within a 24 hours when i got this news... Still i didn't tell to most of the people since anything can happen at hexaware at anytime.. Even my mom knew only after a day when i got the confirmation..
Now what.. Shopping.... Yes i never had a shopping like that in my life.. I was involved in most of my overseas friends shopping when they left Chennai,,,,, I had understand the pressure when i was doing the shopping for me, that didn't present when i was helping others...... At last on the day afternoon when i was about to leave India had completed my shopping.... i never forgot the help by koli,sam, setu and last minute help from senthil., At the mean time i have to call every one and had to convey my message..
There were some funny things happen too... when i called naidu and told the news he started laughing and asked me when are you coming to andra sine I have informed him will come to Andra in the previous call... I know he never belives that i am gonna to US,,, I am not sure, still he may think i am in chennai,... we will speak once in a while only.... (have to call him)...
Then the departure starts... First time akka is coming to chennai airtport for my sendoff... machan, koli, setu, deepak, rams and mokai came there for my send off too.. thanks guys... Finally there was some use for my passport to print some red color immigration in chennai airport... But the flight journey was not as expected... then the Frankfurt airport comes... everyone told me that it's very big airport and it will be very easy to find our catching flights...... I accept that it's really big and it was easy to go to the desired place.. .. After i landed in US only i came to know that Prasiles (in Belgium) airport is lot more bigger than Frankfurt. What ever it may be,… i have landed in my dream place with a blue imigiration mark in phili from a bubbly girl....... It was really cold...

Will continue………
