Bangalore to Chennai Mail !!

After a long and nice innings in Infy Bangalore, I'm shifting to another company in Chennai. So, its bye bye to jackets,nice parks,chock-a-block traffic,hosur road,cute chicks (wearing cuter dresses) in Forum & brigade road and Hi...Hi to sweltering heat,sweating,besant nagar and aunty figures in looooong & baggy salwars in T.Nagar.
There's always been one important part of my life that i've really missed in Bangalore - those roadside tea kadai's where u get super fresh hot-hot tea and 50 paise vadais....due to some reason, there are very few tea kadai's in Bangalore and even those don't stay open after 10 pm at night - the only tea available at any bakery is from flasks - yaarukku theriyum ennikku pottaangannu!!
There's nothing like a fresh and hot cup of tea on the way back home from a night show. I really miss those Pandian Tea kadai in 2nd stop Thiru Nagar - madurai.
As a part of this shifting, I've decided to sell my beloved CneMobile.I posted an ad in our Bullettin Board and this started off a discussion with soo many people mailing me not to sell her. The ad and the related mails I've attached below. And of course, read from Bottom.

Oops......soo many digs at my beloved!! See, even though I maybe leaving her for another, I still have strong feelings for her!

Well Yeah, Pulsar is defenitely MALE, but I had him modified into a she - 'Coz I feel females are much more fun to be with for guyz - I do feel some pity for those macho guys who riding Definitely MALE bikes!!

And based on popular opinion, I guess I may have to take her along with me to Chennai - and keep her, as I already have a bike with TN registration!!

OOH!! Life's sooo Complex!!

Srinivasan –

I really appreciate the way you have described your beloved one. By reading through all over the content, I strongly feel that you should not break this great relationship and carry your beloved one with you to Chennai.

Hi,
I'm shifting to Chennai and so, am having to sell my beloved Black Mobile.

Her Vital Statistics are as below:

Family Background : Bajaj Pulsar - 150 CC DTSi - First hand - Married her in Jun 2004.
Color : Shiny Black
Education : Karnataka Registration,All papers in order,All taxes paid.
Plus Points : Button Start,Double Helmet Lock,saree guard and loud horn.
Antecedents : No Accidents Till Date.

More importantly, I've spent a lot of love and money on her.The modifications that I've made to her are:

TVS JUMBO 120/18 Tyres [Eliminator size] for better traction.
The Silencer has been modified to fit an Expansion Chamber to increase the BHP. The silencer is still the stock company silencer, but the innards have changed.
She looks like any normal Pulsar when sleeping. Its only when u start up and give some throttle that the Beast wiothin awakes with a deep throated growl.
I did a speed test today and she gave me these stats.

0 - 40 kmph - 2.5 seconds
0 - 60 kmph - 4 seconds
0 - 80 kmph - 8 seconds.

My darling can beat the pants off any sub-180 CC bike on Bangalore roads.
But at the same time, she gives me a mileage of around 50 kmpl. I have got arnd 60 kmpl when I rode her at an average speed of 60 kmph.

She's a biking lover's bike......and I'ld hand her over to another biking lover.
U can view her outside the Gate 6.

If ur interested, Mail me.

Thanks,
Srinivasan.

Back 2 Blogging - With a vengeance!!

I'm back into blogging after a long sojourn into Orkutting. Its due to the phenomenon called populism....we usually tend to do whats the most popular at that time.....and since I was introduced (though initially a little reluctantly) into Orkut by my friend 'Jo',I got hooked on to it and have been an avid Orkutter for the last coupla months......in fact, this phenomenon had spread so widely that in my company [the great I-to-the-N-to-the-F-to-the-Y], almost most of the people were on orkut most of the time - to the extent that the management took it as a threat to efficient working and banned it. But to maintain the image of a employee friendly company, they couldn't just say 'people are orkutting and logging it as project effort' and so,they have banned Orkut.com saying its virus infested!
Well, who am I to question managament's decisions....
Long live Employee Satisfaction!!
