64 Paul Revere Rd

Cool!!!! The title is not a movie(like 15 Park Avenue). :)
This is the place(house) where I had a very good stay at Groton, Connecticut while I was working for Pfizer.
This post actually is a continuation of my journey in US. Please visit the below link for the history.

So after working in North Carolina, I have moved to Connecticut and got new friends again in the my path. But this time it was fun professionally and personally with the group I have worked with. The community where we have stayed(Groton Estates) will be remembered by all our team members.

The apartment community has got bulk bookings of apartments since lot of people came to join this project along with me. :). I worked like a driver to manager initially to make new comers settle down in the new place since most of them were new to US. Daily pick up, drop, shopping, groceries...ha ha.. it was fun. After all nothing wrong in helping.

I can't forget the 2 mile walk to a Beach nearby and speding time there with friends. Weekend cooking(sale), especially experiments on me with new items by the other two girls(infact only one girl) staying at 113 Nathan Hale Rd were nice moments to share and remember.

Can't stop mentioning about my roommate Srikanth. He was the one of the nice persons I have lived with. Well, having a good friend is always a nice feeling when you are alone.

The project was much fun for all people because of having a good team. We could do some good work as well with the friends around helping each other. Anyways nice things lasts for sometime as usual, so we had to split to other projects quickly for various reasons. Looking forward to work with all again.

Crater Lake...An exceptional beauty

Nothing can be compared to the natural beauty. This is again proved when I went to Crater Lake. Crater Lake is a naturally formed lake out of volcanic eruption 7700 years back. This is the deepest lake in US. By the way this is located in Oregon State.

I cannot really explain the scenic beauty around the lake. Believe me, its worth watching once in a life time. The waters are so blue that you cannot even imagine. For me, it was a great relief to visit that place after long long working hours from last one month.

Due to winter, the Rim Drive(a loop drive around lake) is closed. But the entrance which is open was great enough to explore the entire lake over from a mountain. Snow everywhere on the road, absolutely perfect view of the lake from mountain, perfect climate, scenic roadways and water falls etc made my visit great.

Nice Break

Friends, I am going to India on this Friday(08/08/08) on vacation. And I will be back after 4 weeks. I guess I wont be able to write any blogs, but will try to check.
Anyway, you guys have a great time and see you soon.

Will He?....Yes says my heart....

Chiranjeevi......One name which can create sensation in Andhra Pradesh. Infact it is creating now very frequently. Well as you know, he planned and almost confirmed that he is entering the political world.

Now the question is whether he will be able to manage the so called Political Movements. My heart says "Yes". Not only as a fan, but as a citizen I am keen to see his kind of approach/agenda to reach public.

NTR(N.T.Rama Rao) was the only movie star who could manage to come in full swing with a new party and swept the other party away completely.

Chiru is the only actor after NTR who has the same charisma, potential, crowd pulling capacity, power and mainly mesmorizing personality in all ways.
The only difference was that there was only one major party that time, but now they are two. And ofcoure the situations then and now are also totally different.

So it is a tough task to face two strong parties at the present trend. One should have a great strategy for that and seems he is planning for one. People from all communities, People from all countries, People from all professions are ready to support him and made the ground work. The only pending thing is him announcing the party and coming into the public. Hopefully this will be done in August.

He is my inspiration not only as an actor, but for his hardwork, dedication and humbleness. It will be a wonder to read about his past. To quote one incident, once at the initial stages of his career, he was asked to see his face in the mirror and decide whether he is fit to be an actor. But now his face is the most charismatic than any other.

His talk is sensation. His silence is sensation. This really proves how dedication one can have to achieve their goals.

I wish him all the best and hopefully he will do his best to make the state proud. Thinking him as a great human being and great actor, I will definitely support him given a chance.

Here is a snapshot video about his political entry -->

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.
