Octet....8 Friends

I am very excited to write this post as I have to go back to my college days and recollect the memories.

Here I want to present few things about our group of friends. We are a group of 8 friends in our engineering college days. Sometimes it is really true that God sets somethings up for some cause. In the same lines, we met at the college luckily and became very good friends.

We used to participate in each and every activity in the college like studies, cultural activities, ragging..:-P, teasing girls(positively..ha ha), seminars, what not. Each of us are experts in different activities. So our group used to be like an all-rounder group in the entire college. Can you guess our group name in college?...Its "Super Special Batch(SSB)". All other groups used to feel so jealous at our group which led to many quarrels as well. Ofcourse, its a college and even a quarrel is fun until it dont become serious.

Personally to me, everyone from our group are very special as I learnt different things from each one. But let me recollect my special acquaintance with each guy...In order of our roll numbers in the class..:)

Balaji...my roommate and what else can I say
Dimpu... good friend at having fun, cracking spontaneous jokes
Kalyan...a nice combination in studies
Raghu...a perfect combination at entertainment and cricket
Sandeep...my buddy in the topic of girls
Shanmukha...A challenging programmer to me always
Suresh...The Bike Guru for me



Today we all are across the globe busy in our own lives and professions. But wherever we are, whatever we are doing, we will be in contact through our hearts.

I am very happy to share about my friends with you. I dedicate this post to my group and all of the blogger friends.

Remember............

The bird a nest

The spider a web

The human friendship..Protect it safely

Dasavatharam....A great attempt

DASAVATHARAM....an eagerly awaiting film was finally released on Friday in US. And I have seen this first day first show. Just wanted to share my thoughts on this.



As usual, Kamal the genious at his best in donning the roles. The main story line in a single sentence would be "The principle of Karma". It is about the destiny of an human being after struggling with all types of problems in life. It is about the impact of unknown power or God on this world.

I was more interested in this movie to obviously see Kamal in versatile roles and performances. He wrote the story and screenplay for the movie. As the critics were saying that the screenplay is little confusing, but I kind of dont agree with this. There is a clear link between the beginning episode and the climax If you really go into the movie.

I personally liked this movie as Vaishnavite, as it dealt with Vaishnavism and Lord Vishnu. :)

But it is a must watch movie for those who want to take a break from usual Hero-Heroine-Villain type movies.

Coming to performances, as usual Kamal Hassan is at his best in delivering the characters. Half of his roles are great and the other half are ok. George bush make up was the best. If everything goes well, I have a thought that he might get the next national award.

Anyways, it is all individual opinion to see and assess this movie. Hope you all will enjoy it.

Continuation for Sea Shore

Really coud not find anything to write this time. But wanted to keep the ball rolling till I come back with a good post. So I am here posting some pictures from the sea shore where I go. Details are in previous post.:)

One evening, I saw an unusual formation of clouds over there above the sea. So wanted to share them with you.

Working from Sea Shore

You would have heard employees/professionals saying

"Working from home........"
"Working from hotel........." etc etc

But interestingly I am working from sea shore these days. :)). Let me explain. The sea shore(Atlantic) is just ONE MILE from my house in Groton, Connecticut. Its not a beach, but just a small park kind of stuff where we can sit, spend sometime and relax.

And taking this as advantage, I am going there daily(almost) evening and spending sometime. Why to waste time?, am also completing my office work. Ha ha ha...

Wanted to share some photos of that location.







And finally I wanted to post the below photo to show how laptops became so simple things these days. Now I have 3 laptops, (from left to right) one is my personal, second is from my company and last one is from my client. :)). I want to rent one. Anybody interested????....:)
