A Blessed Birthday !!!

2010 Birthday turned out to be the most memorable birthday to me because it was a special one for me. I was excited because my chachu was getting married on the same day and also it was my birthday.

I expected it to be a normal Birthday. But it turned out to be a super duper birthday for me.

It was 7^th night around 11.00 p.m. I returned from the marriage hall after arranging all the decorations for the next day marriage, as I expected none of my family members were sleeping because it was a rare occasion when all of us meet so all were in loud tone laughing and chit chatting and all. I just came and was lying in a long bench since I had no place in the floor.

It was around 11.50 p.m. when the real surprise started. My Sekar mama suddenly shouted Michael in very huge tone we all were surprised, after 5 minute his mobile started to sing Happy Birthday Song, Light were off and Michael mama came with a cake with 24 candles in his hands. I was overwhelmed and almost in tears.

My friends started to ping me,so i went upstairs  it was my friend Benet who started the rally, then followed by my sister and then Dinesh. Then my last mama Mano called me and asked to keep the phone on till the party ends. I asked what party he said go and see down you will have a surprise.

So when I returned all my grandma’s and grandpa’s came to upstairs room where we all were there and in another 2 min the room was packed with kutties and nearly 15 family members. I was shell shocked. OMG all the family members were busy in doing some marriage work left it and came to celebrate the birthday bash.

The celebration started with a Gospel song, followed by cake cutting and I distributed the cakes to all the family and kutties. Then family prayers which Saroja Ammamma did it, then My Mehala Ammamma presented me a Gift. I was so happy because my Selvaraj thatha and Ambika ammamma were there with me for this birthday. They were the one who used to be always for my birthday in Delhi right from my 1^st Birthday to 9^th Birthday. Really missed my Ninju and Jessy Chithi because I had a great 1^st 9 birthday celebrations with them in Hinden ,Kanpur and Delhi.

(Gospel Song and Prayer)

Followed by got blessings from all my elders and wishes and kisses from kutties. Wow it was a real Birthday and Cherish able Birthday celebration for me.

The party wasn’t over all the family members who were sleeping turned up into excitement mode and started to chit-o-chat in full swing. The marriage was early morning from 6.00 a.m. to 7.00 a.m. Then it was Raja mama who started to say ok ok its time up lets relax for some time and get up at 4.00 a.m but the time was almost 1.30 a.m. lol !!!!

I just relaxed in a corner in a big table and dozed off. But it was Prem mama who came from Chennai early morning at 4.00 a.m. came and wished me Happy Birthday. The day started for me lol !!

Then it was Vivek my friend who slept off I guess at 12 woke up and sent me a message thinking I must be sleeping then I called him up and he wished, then Pradeep called me up at 5.30 a.m.

Thus the day started, dressed up and went to the hall. Not many know that it was my Birthday so I got escaped lol !!

In the midst was getting calls in a row from my dear ones and relatives. Then noon came and slept off  for a while and evening again work started. 

I will narrate the memories of my Bhaiya’s marriage in detail in my next post in a separate title.

Thus this is how my birthday turned out to be. Though it was just a matter of 24 hours, the things which happened seemed to be like of 2 days.

To me it was blessed Birthday because all the elders and relatives at one shot on my day wishing and unexpected celebrations all together made my day a memorable one. I am really blessed to be a part of such a beautiful and wonderful family. Always I thank God for giving me such a wonderful family.

I would like to end by repeating the message to all my friends who wished on for my birthday “I owe and appreciate all ma folks for ur b'day wishes. It means alot to me and all those wishes made my day and I will continue to cherish our frndship. 

Love u all folks !”

Chachu’s Marriage

It was yet another family festive / get together which incidentally happened on my Birthday, I was so excited because it was my dearest Chachu’s Marriage and also my B’Day. I was also happy because I celebrated my birthday and got blessings from all my elders.

Nov 7^th myself, dad, mom, chithi, chitappa and thambi boarded the train, and to our surprise Michael mama was also in the same train who was travelling from Mumbai, really we chatted till late night and had Chappati and Pepper Chicken as dinner...... it was yummy.

The next morning we reached Tirunelveli, I know I will have a jam packed day because all were expecting my presence for all the works. As I expected the moment I got fresh, Raja mama came and asked me to go and check whether all items for cooking and decorations are ready. One thing I had an advantage I got a Kinetic Honda with full tank of fuel in it lol. Then finished that and returned at 1 in the noon, at 1.10 my Chachu i.e. Kalyana mappillai, said he wanted to buy Make up sets, Shoe and Belt.

Then went with him and retuned only at 3 and had lunch. Then what rest uh ?? no no, my akka came and said arrange extra vans for going to Bride’s home needed to be arranged, then went and arranged. Mean while akka took me to jewellery shop for some purchase. Then evening some function and dinner in the hall was held and night I had to stay back for the decoration works. Uff, I came back at about 11 in the night, there everyone were in full swing doing chit-o-chat, well that is a tradition of our family to not to sleep the whole night the day before marriage because that is only night we all spend and meet each other after years. Then it was my unexpected birthday party, I have posted in detail in my next post.

Then after the party none of my family members had the intension to sleep, I somehow managed to get a bench in which just relaxed and could relax. Then it was an early morning marriage all dressed up and went for the marriage, it was so exciting day because it my dearest Chachu’s marriage. In between there were excitements like bursting crackers, fun with kutties, dance and some unforgettable moments. The whole day went like a flash, and then afternoon came and slept off. Then evening, my grandpa woke me and asked me join to count all the MOI MONEY, did that counting work. It was quite healthy collection lol. Then night I had to arrange the dinner for all.

It was indeed a special marriage for one more reason, for the first time lots of responsibilities came to me for all works like money settlements that too I was roaming with 20k, decoration in-charge, food in-charge, logistics in-charge. Before that I may have done only small works maximum serving, but this time supervising the serving and under me were my younger mama’s. Many now consider me as a grown up kid in my thoughts and ideas and they gave me all the works. Already for this chachu’s engagement it was only me who did all the works, so they saw my efforts and raised my value. I was happy that I did all the works, because it was always urge in my mind to do such things, because I don’t have any siblings I think cha I am really unlucky that I couldn’t do such works. I always admire my friends when they work hard for their sister / bro’s marriage. Really when I experienced on my own I got to know the real fun with responsibility in it. I am so blessed to be part of such a wonderful family.

The next day after the marriage was the packing day, but till noon had works, because had to settle the money for Video coverage, then hall so again was in move. Then it was almost 5 when I packed up and boarded the train. It looked like some flash visit for 3 days and 4 nights but it was a memorable trip.

(The Whole Family)

Hope I dint bore you people by mixing by sharing my family things and senti’s in this post.

Cheers for your support. 

Le Pondy

Le Pondy

23^rd October 2010 a day with my School buddies.

It was a pre-planned trip because my friend Gopi has come from Dubai for a vacation. All our guys took off from all our works and planned a one day trip.

(Le Pondy)

Initially the trip was planned to Tada falls but since there was very little water flowing we changed to Pondy.....

The whole trip was wrapped up in almost 13 hours but the things which happened in that single day OMG, was not like that....we just thought it will be yet another a normal hang out but we were wrong , what happened read the post.....

Here we go, it was bright Saturday morning, I went to place were Gopi was staying then in a short while the two Red Machine’s arrived, one was “A Star” of Abi and “Pulsar 180”of Syed.

The guys who joined the thrill with me were => Abi, Deepan, Gopi, Noorul and Syed.

(The Crew, Deepan taking the Pic)

At the start it was a normal start, we drove away with two pit stoppings and reached Pondy at about 12. The drama started there, Noorul started to say hey we shall start the trip with a lunch. We then stopped in some street because parking the car was a difficult task then unfortunately no lunch were there then drove near bus stand and after nearly one hour found a good buffet restaurant. Wow it was a damn worth buffet for Rs.200 we all grabbed it soon and rushed away for starting the trip.

Then reached the beach and enjoyed the shore. It was rare sight of beach where there was no sand in the banks of the sea but there were only rocks so couldn’t wet our feet in it. Then went to a nice spot something like a broken bridge, it was a great spot, were we can move almost to the top of the sea water and watch the shores hitting the pillars from the top view. We just relaxed and retuned in a casual walk.

(Awesome Spot)

Then real 1^st thrill started, we all were returning to the place where we parked the vehicle when we noticed Syed’s bike was carried by Police Patrol for parking in the “Vehicle Free Zone” and Abi’s car was the only car left behind because of “G”. We said all possible reasons to bring down the Bike but it was in Vain. The Police said he will give after moving to some distance. Syed and Noorul went behind the van, and rest marched towards the Car, meanwhile everybody started to rush towards the beach, we too rushed and we noticed a bunch of Dolphins diving near the shore, it was a rare and beautiful sight. Pity Syed and Noorul missed it  !! lol !

(Zoom it and watch for Dolphin tip)

Then we guys planned to visit the AuroVille but it was late to visit that place, so we guys decided chalo lets pack up and go home.

We were quite happy the trip was going to end and met each other....

But the trip was not ended it again rose up with a new spirit with a comma.

It was almost the 20 min from Pondy when we moved; we saw series of Vehicle lined up. We thought it was Vehicle check up, since we were in “G” Vehicle we over took and went forward. When an angry man came and bumped loud with his hand. Abi rose up anger, then a man from behind came apologized and said no vehicle will move since there is some Strike was going on for Death in the main ECR. Then the same angry man came and said take a reverse for 500m and asked to take a left into the village and take a U turn which will lead to the other end of the road crossing the crowded people. The man said so casually that we thought it will be a small U turn. Believing his words we took reverse and took the left turn, and reached one place. Believe me guys it was exactly like “Saroja” movie were in important stage the crew take similar short cut and ends up in a miserable story.

(In the Midst of Confusion)

From there we just asked how to reach ECR everyone showed one direction, and we followed no sooner after few kms Syed who was in bike noticed a sign board showing Dindivanam 17 kms. Because if we lead to that road it will take 3 hours to reach Chennai. We were shell shocked and stopped the car. It was a dark road and nobody was there we were just confused. Then two young chaps came for help and said there are two ECR, one is the regular which we all are aware and the other connecting Dindivanam, then we realized we have took the wrong route. We thought to go back but those two chaps said the strike is still on and it will take time. Then those guys just directed to some other route were another U turn was there, and then we realized this was the great U turn which the man who directed first told. It was a real dark road in the midst of Baniyan Tree, almost a ghost movie effect,  really was an awesome experience to travel. Thanks to our Navigator => Syed with his Pulsar who stopped in desired pits and directed us in the right path. It was almost 7 when we touched ECR again, almost around 2 hours we lost the time, and then we drove to our best and stopped near Mayajaal and had our dinner...

Folks the content to read may not look so interesting and thrilling but mark my words if you would have experienced that last 4 hours of thrill without knowing whether we will reach ECR or not and whether we are going in the right path and that too in dark roads, wow I bet you all will experience the thrill.

It was a real memorable day of my Life, I dint inform my dad and mom that I am going to Pondy, only after reaching there I informed that I am here, to my surprise when I reached home they dint scold because that strike was telecasted in News channel, so they got to know why I was late from the trip.

Thus here ends the thrilling post....

Cheers for you guys for your support and reading it.

Watch all the Pondy fun in my FB Album.

Enthiran - The Robot.

Hey folks, 

lemme start a new label in my Blog - Movies - My Takes of the movies which I watch !!! 

Start of the label is => => Enthiran - The Robot starring Superstar Rajni Kanth and Ashwarya Rai. 

The most costliest movie of Asian cinema industry was released on October 1, 2010, with a great hype and expectations. Myself and few of ma frnds got the first day first show tickets, being a fan of Superstar it was a great to watch his movie on the day show in a normal theatre were lots of whistle, sound, dance and music will take the lead than the movie. 

Rajnikanth starrer Endhiran review is already great in talk. There’s only one word to describe the movie - awe-inspiring.  The talk that’s been generating in overseas is even better with people’s verdict on Endhiran movie review being on top.

My Review: 

The movie dint started like usual Rajni movie, no opening song, no opening scene for superstar it was similar to many Hollywood movie were hero's doesn't get a much hype in the introduction. Then the entry of Chitti the Robot, gave the first break through in the movie with his comedy scenes with the Police man, Driving skills. The highlight scene was the train fight and the fire accident stunts were Peter Hein simply used his entire talent to give his best. There was no great role to play for Santhanam and Karunas but Rajni itself turned out to be comedian in many scenes. Aishwarya Rai (Sana) was simple elegant and superb and the movie predominantly revolved around her. The first half was very fast and exciting to watch with excellent song sequences in the middle. 

The second half was the major part of the story when Chitti turns into Upgraded version 2.0 !! Wow personally was thrilled to watch Rajni's negative role in that movie, after a long time he has acted in negative role and he acted more than what Director would have expected for Version 2.0. The anger he showed while kidnapping Sana was excellent, and the scene with nearly 50 guns and his dialogue "Happy Diwali folks" was a treat to watch. The last 40 minutes were truly Director's and his technicians touch. Last 40 min started with Rajni's pakka villian role by making all the Robo's stand together and finding the scientist Rajni - "The Black sheep".. It was really a great dialogue delivery which only Rajni can do and his saying like "Robooo and goat like sound". Really the whole theater applauded alot for those scenes. Then thereafter the hero's were Graphic technicians, The one large robot, snake, dragon, drilling machine, ball, phewww. 

It was clearly shown in the middle that Scientist Rajni Dr.Vasee is not strong enough to fight with a normal man so he has to defeat the Robot only through his Brain and Director Shankar dint fail to prove it. He managed to end the Hero and Villian fight in a most technical way. 

Danny Denzongpa too had dint much role to play but it was good to see him after a long time, I remember him always playing the villian plot in DD channels in childhood. 

Highlight scenes of the movies were Making of Robo, Train Fight, Fire accident, Baby delivery, Version 2.0 fight and last fight sequence which really a new to Indian cinema. 

Apart from this there was a Hero, World's favorite => Namma Isai puyal A.R.Rahman, he truly has a Mozart of Madras and a Living Legend, Man his songs were truly new and a treat for all Music Lovers. All the 7 tracks were of different and a new songs. Kadhal Annukal was damn treat to watch the desert so as Kilimanjaro with its natural background scenary. Irumbile Oru Irudhaiyam voice of ARR was damn excellent in theatre speakers. "Arima Arima is Rajni's style and his actions. The other tracks dint appeal much with the scenes but songs like Boom Boom and Chitti dance showcase are hit among the youth people.

Choreographers and Cinematographers gave goose bumps with their excellent shoots and dance steps which matched and uplifted the songs to next level. Mr.Kavipearasu Vairamuthu too was excellent with his lyrics. Enthiran became the first album to reach the top of the US iTunes chart. What else we can expect when ARR compose the songs?

Lets not forget the Icon behind this project Mr.Kalanidhi Maran, man he would have been the most happiest and proud man to invest for such an excellent movie. Truly appreciate his risk taking ability and uplift the Tamil Cinema industry to International standards. 

The main brain behind this movie was Director Shankar, truly I thank him for giving us such an excellent movie, he has made his 10 years dreams come true on October 1st, 2010. He is worth to be nominated for Oscar awards and other International awards, for his Genuineness and his excellence in his profession. He proved that nothing is impossible and made the dreams into reality. 

To me the movie was Awesome and a new to Tamil Industry. Many people din't like the second half, I would just say few things that the movie name is Robot so obviously it should be dominated with them. And another things never criticize such movies which are shooted with the top personalities of the Industry, Director, Hero, Heroine, Music Director, Art director, Producers and other technicians who are from Hollywood. I would just ask them one question "Can you take such movie ?? or can any other director take such movie in near future??". Its a one person's dream and ambition which the other top personalities have helped him in their professional way to achieve it. 

Some one asked is it worth watch more than Rs.100, I would say obviously, when normal masala movies and other normal ended movies are being watched for same Rs.60 -80 why shouldn't a Rs.190 crore movie be sold as Rs.200 and also which is worth while watching it. 

Whateva may be its a must movie strictly in theater's to experience the true technical efforts. I would like to go for another 4 times honestly to enjoy the efforts and the effects. 

All the end of the note I would like to say it is not just about watching movie and comment on it. What is to be seen is the conviction, hard work, intelligence of people like Kalanidhi Maran, Shankar, Rajini, ARR et al. It is important to observe above key qualities that have brought them where they are today and apply in our daily lives (if not fully even parts of it). True Karma Yogis and role models for the society.

My name is Scorpio, and i am not a Car !!!!!! Part -II

Hey people,

Hope you remember me. If not check out the link below:

http://djoephilip.blogspot.com/2010/03/my-name-is-scorpio-and-i-am-not-car.html

Those who remember me, how are you doing? It’s been a long time nah since I have spoken to you people. Infact I was busy with my master Joe. After my last post my master decided to get a new sibling. But by the time he selected a new sibling I was damaged and worn out too much.

My Joystick was broken; Joe then stuck with fevikwik which lead to permanent jam in my movement. After that Joe, somehow made me work on force but I was only movable to up, down and right direction. No left turn. Anyways Joe dint took too much time to give a rest to me. Panel was getting bad to worse.

But alas last week he got a new sibling “Samsung i5801 Galaxy” so now I have got rest. But by time he selected the new sibling shaebhaaaa he took too much time. He was damn selective about the model, but somehow his friends helped him to get a new sibling.

Ok people it’s time to sign off and from now on it will be my sibling “Scorpion – The Android baby” will take the lead and will be interacting with you all people.

See you people, I am not gonna take rest still gonna be loyal to my master to very little extent because I am likely to be used still with “Docomo -heart” my original heart “Airtel” will be transplanted to my sibling “Scorpion – The Android baby”.

I am very happy to do the heart transplantation because I want my heart to keep beating always with my master. Its time for the operation byeeeee

Heart Transplantation (Sim card transplantation)

Scorpio =>100%=>50%=>0%=>50%=>100%=>Scorpion 

Scorpion-The Android Baby “Hey people wasss up?? Hope you all are doing well???  I am the new partner of my master Joe, I the baby from android’s family. My generic name is Samsung and species name is i5801 Galaxy 3. My strengths are first I have the Android power; I am very sensitive because I am a full touch babe. I have the capacity of 512MB with 256MB RAM. Still lots more to share about me. I will share with you all about myself more in my personal post.”

Joe Philip “So folks this is Joe here, hope my Scorpio has got a right sibling. From here on my new sibling Scorpion – The Android baby will interact with you."

Cheerss !!!!!!!!!

A Dedication to all My Friends !!!

Define Friend :  a person with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically one exclusive of sexual or family relations (source: oxforddictionaries.com). 

But according to me its also exclusive of Caste, Religion, Race, State, Country Age, Money, etc etc... 

Friends have always played a great role in my Life. I was not born with any siblings to my parents, but I have never worried with regards to that b'cos God has given me more than siblings and those people are called Friends !!! 

They have always been in my happy, sad, worried, excitement, career ....and the list goes on !!! They are the greatest part of my Life in simple words !!! 

To justify this sentence I will give few examples:

• It was a friend who first played cricket with me. 
• It was a friend who stood near me for my first crush / infactuation in school days, it were also friends who helped to get my girl's address lol !! 
• It was also a friend who asked me to mature after School, he passed this msg through my school slam. He wrote "You have not fully grown / matured in your mind (Ignorance about your life, relations, love ...) you have wasted 90% of you life and ur conc. has been unbalanced". I really did not understand at first now later in coll realized that he was true. I wasted my 12th std. and had lots of ups and downs. He also quoted at the end "Learn about Life" and I guess I have learnt it. But only the same person has to say whether I have learnt accord. to his perception. It was the same friend who suggested and paved the way to my career life. I am happy to have such a true friend. This post he will surely read , I donno whether he will remember  also donno how his reactions will be when he reads this paragraph !! lol !!
• It was also a friend who consoled me in 1st year when I was Homesick and helped me to get me outta that. 
• It were only friends who coined nick names for me few of them are " Coni, Meesai, Old - School, Naughty devil, Kutti chathaan - Coll ". Always cherish them b'cos they have given me new names lol. 
• It was also a friend who helped me exploring in Chennai. 
• It were friends who always come wid me for my wardrobe collections. 
• It were also friends who used to give bumps and do cake facials and hit with tomatoes and eggs during ma b'days. 
• It was a friend who helped me in clearing ma papers and ma arrears by teaching me with patience. 
• It were only friends who could imagine to celebrate my B'day in a beach !! lol !! 
• It were a only friends judge me most of the time correctly and believe in me even in tough situations. 
• It was only a friend who got slapping for me during my College North India tour by supporting me and also safe guarded me !!! How many of them will do such help ???
• It were only friends who always cherish my r'ship even after going overseas for Higher studies. 
• It were only friends who  comment and give reviews about my photoshop works and also my Blog post's. 
• It were only friends with whom I visited North India sply Manali, Amristar, Kodaikannal etc etc....
• It were also friends who gave a chance to get experience about Life by sharing their experinces.
• It was also a friends whom you call even at night 12 he will come without hesitation. 
• It was also a friend who cherished me alot by saving a bday wish which I sent to him, He showed it in his mobile really I have never saved his or anyones !!Such things literally makes me cry with happiness. 

These are some of the few examples which my friends did. They are loads of people who have done loads of things sorry I dint mention your help, your help and support are always cherished by me.  I dint mention anybody's name B'cos I am selfish with ma frnds and their frndship !!! lol !! If I say you ppl like approach those friends and will make their own lol lol !!! Just Kidding !!!! I donno whether you ppl have got such true ones but I consider I am lucky to have such ppl with me !!

I donno how much I mean to them in their Life. Wont gonna ask them too cos its their perception about a lil guy like me !!

They are someone who are always cherish my Life, Keep my Life eternal and someone who pushes me throughout my Life. I am lucky to have few precious friends, and sure donno wanna loose them !! But at de same time wanna make more frnds like them and build a network !!!!!

I believe in this following statement alot "some relations in tis world nvr die n tuts frndship..............." Friends may die but not the Friendship they had !!!! 

Just wanna end this post with my most favorite quote "My Life Means a lot to Me.. Not becos I love My Life, But..Becoz I Love the people in my Life ..The World calls them Friends" I call them "My World"

On this friendship I wish to owe and wish all my dear, close, best, just wateva = Friends => A very happy Friendship day !! You all mean alot to me !!!! 

Cheers !!!

Luv you all !!!!

Key Lost => => Key Made !!!!!!!!!!

It was a matter of 24hours but an interesting drama happened in my life. 

26th of July 2010, my dad was ready to go to native by Nellai Express, I had planned to drop in bike but unfortunately it started to shower, so had to take my Car. The Car key's chain was broken 2 days ago I was thinking to replace with something new one. 

Anyways took my car and reached Tambaram railway station, by that time rain was stopped, but it was almost quite late, train was about to reach in another 15min, I had to take platform ticket from the other end and then reach the platform. So immediately took the luggage and started to run. 

The Drama started here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I was wearing 3/4th because it was raining, and my pockets were small which I dint noticed. Kept my Car key inside it and started to run. It was hardly I was about to reach the ticket counter when i noticed that my key was not there in my pocket. The key was without any chain so it was very light so when it fell I was unable to realize it. I asked dad to go with the luggage, and started to search but dint got. Immediately informed my uncle for duplicate keys, but he said there was no duplicate. That is when I got really pissed off !!!!!!! Uncle joined me for the key hunt. Meanwhile I inquired Police helpline but they dint reply positively. The search hunt was going on till 11.30 but everything was in vain. Left the car just praying and went home, whole night was not able to sleep. Early morning woke up by 6, went and saw and the car it was safe. Then freshed up informed office for leave and went to mechanic shop they directed to Duplicate key expert. Took my bro Raj Mohan and then went there. They just said ok and came with me. Immediately opened the door and removed the petrol lock and took it to shop for making the same design key. Bro came and gave the key, but it was not matching meanwhile a group of 4 policemen came and surrounded me, they thought I came to steal the car lol :) :) . Then showed all my documents, they left me. Meanwhile called that Key guy and some how made the car start and took it to shop and duplicate keys were made. Rs.1000/- was given as donation to them for making the new keys !!!! 

This may look like a story but the 17 hours of drama was a great experience to me !!!

I have learnt few things like :

• Always have duplicate keys for safety. 
• Never wear 3/4th with short pockets for outdoor.
• Always have Key Chains for key for a sense of realization that the car key with you. 
• Never do anythings in hurry. 

It may be a matter of rs.1000 but experience gained is most important and I got it !!! 

Cheers for few people who shared my loss in FB and gtalk !!!!!!!!!!! 

24 Hours with Benjamins's !!!!!!!!!!!

24 hours with Benjamin's => guessing ??? 

Nothing but a night and a day spent with my dearest Chithi Jessy, Chit Benji and ma 2 bro's Steve and Chris. It was a memorable experience with my bro's cos it’s been a 1st trip with the two bro's and also with Benji Chit and most important after nearly 15 years has  spent a day with Jessy chithi. 

I dint got an opportunity to stay for a day with Jessy Chithi and family after they got married in 1999 and  when they moved up to Switzerland. 

It reminded me more of Delhi days when I used to go to Selvaraj thatha's house with mom and dad when I was 3 Years old. Those were the days.............. 

I was grown up under the care of my two chithi's Ninju and Jessy. Used to fight always with Ninju chithi who is just 5 years older to me and then Jessy who is 10 years elder to me used to come and sign the "treaty of peace". We all used to roam Delhi, then friends house sply Karthick anna's house , park , Appu ghar etc. Such an experince I got from 20th evng to 21st evng. 

20th Evng: 

It was showering in Chennai; I started from my office early at about 3 and reached Nungambakkam station at 5. I got a cal from Jessy Chithi stating to come to Sky Walk Ampa. She told Benji Chit and Simon chit are already there. I went and met both of them. I met both of them after nearly 3 years. No sooner later Chithi and ma two bravo kids joined us. It was pleasant to meet Uncle Geogrey and family after 12 years. Then took my bro's to Games section and we started with a Bumper car. It was my little brave bro "Chris" who joined with me who is just 2 and half years old. I remember saying him "C'mon bro do the bump, do the bump" and i did it for him, from that time he was just gelled with me. Took him to all the rides. Really it was a pleasant evening with both my bro's and the other cousins. Reached home and then talked with Benji chit and then worshiped God. Really it was the same picture as we were in Delhi, used to sing songs and then read Bible and then Pray. Nostalgic moments I should say in short. I thought we would sleep but we continued by watching "Evan's Almighty Movie". Really it’s a fun you know watching a movie with all our family members and kids. 

21st:

It was early morn 6.30 when I woke up by Benji chit's mobile alarm. We had plans to go to VGP, but it was pouring quite heavily. I and thatha started to think some alternative places but nothing came into mind because there is no place for kids to enjoy in Indoor in chennai. But with God's grace the rain slowly calmed down and we started to get ready. I still remember Kutti Chris woke up and was crying that mosquito’s has bitten him. I told him that Mosquito’s love Chrisy and it kissed him and did not bite him. Really he is such a cute guy. I just love him cute face and his naughty innocent smile. Then finally by 10 we started there no rain and the climate was good but humid, humid and humid. 

We started the VGP's trip with Columbus ride, Chris almost cried. Then I took him to Horse ride which is meant for kids. He enjoyed that very much. Then we went to Dashing car, it was the whole of our family members went for that in two rounds.  Then went to some Dancing ride I don’t remember the proper name. We got so hungry but 4 rides itself lol, so we stopped and refreshed with snacks and drinks. Then continued with games and then followed by went to Beach. The two bro’s have neva seen a Beach cos Swiz doesn’t have beach to my surprise. Chris started to build a sand house. Then we went to Giant Wheel, Chris was so brave that he said he will come and will not cry and really he dint cry and was enjoying when we were in the top. It was almost 4 in the evening, we were tired and then hungry because still we dint had lunch. The plan was to come to my house in Tambaram and then see everyone, drop me there and they will go home. So stopped in a hotel and then went home. We were received by my Small Wonder my Bro Michael. The trio younger bro’s started to play. Later by 8 they returned back to home.

Really missed my chithi Ninju and my cute sister Caady, really would have been good they would have been here. But they were stuck in Singapore. I bet if Ninju chithi reads this she will become emotional and will scold me to make her cry. Sorry Chithi , hoping to meet you all soon for sure.

This is just a small epic and a day with my Jessy, Benji, Steve and Chris Benjamin's !!!

Thnx ppl for reading!!!!!!!!!! Hope you liked it.

Cheers !!!!

Kodaikanal Trip !!!!!!!!!!!

"Dream come true trip  after a long time I should say !!! "

I was in Tirunelveli in the end of May 2010 when i got a call from my friend Vivek " Joe we have planned for a Kodaikanal Trip" , first I thought that nah this will never happen because whenever we guys plan it neva happen but 2 days later got a call from alex and berlin, rooms have been booked and everyone are ready except for me because I was held up in Nellai with loads of responsibility works. Later after my mama's house warming ceremony boarded the bus some how and rchd chennai on 1st of June !!!! next day June 2nd was supposed to leave again for the trip !!! 

Guys who came up with me were - Vivek, Vijay, Jeffrey, Mukthar, Azizur and  Berlin ( My PG closest buddies, missed nearly 2-3 ppl) 

Okay here goes the trip whooooooooooooooooooo :

June 2nd: 

Packed up all the stuffs and went to vivek's house (vadapalani), grabbed tasty idly and chicken and then boarded the bus, it was last seats we booked !! we had plans to sit instead started to dance but since it was a private bus sat , but wr talking the whole night. 

June 3rd: 

hmm it was morn 6 i remember, i was woken up by the cold breeze of High altitude, the bus stopped near a Motel, it was just before going up the high altitude hills so we guys got refreshed up and started to go up the hills. I was very much excited cos its my 1st trip to Kodaikanal and 2nd trip to high altitude !! OMG wat an experience there were no dangerous Hairpin bends which made me lil upset , there was very little thrill going up the mountain. Anyways no longer we rchd the hotel - Cloud 9 Holidays, OMG what a room it was an awesome room, and ambiance view from the room !! We guys got ready soon and started our trip. It started with Coaker's Walk, nice mountain and mist view we got and then Ice cream in cold wow had a great kick off for the trip. Then went to Kodai Lake Drop View which was OK, then continued the trip to the Pine forest wow, it was a dense trees, went running till the bottom and came up with quite tiring. Then it was Moier point were we spent very little time. Then came the most exciting spot - Green Valley view, it was kinda suicide point with no fencing, first it was covered up by the mist so dint knew its depth and danger, few min later mist went off slowly and we were shocked it was around 7000ft depth, I was in a shock for a while !! Just imagine ppl 7000 ft rofl !! and then later continued to Pillar rocks view, it was very nice view and later from there went a long walk in the midst of dense mist towards Guna cave, wow we guys will neva forget that chilling breeze crossing us and then rchd Guna cave as free entry rofl !! Then lunch time and then viewed Golf park and Upper valley lake view !! Then it a Bryant park, we guys were almost exhausted by that time, but people berlin were so curious that were kneen in taking pic near idly flowers lol lol !! later it was the Rain which disrupted our cycling, but we guys consoled ourselves and went to room. We guys planned to have a walk and have dinner it was the biggest mistake we did, My God how much distance, already we guys were damn tired and then nearly 5 kms walk down and later 5 kms up !! I was inside a shawl and was walking. Went room, had dance, songs etc and slept. 

June 4th: 

La Saleth Church was the first place we guys went, then it was the most memorable place came - Dolphin Nose and Echo Rock !! The guide was my villain ( just for fun), he told just 1 km down we have to go but it looked 4 kms, was a thrilling experience because the roots of the big trees were slippery and rough path. But at-last rchd the spot, it looked like normal spot but when rchd the top experienced its greatness and wonder. The rock was like a Dolphin's nose, pakka dangerous spot to experience. We agreed to take a group pic and single pic on the rock, there came the most memorable twist, guess what I was asked to go front and the rest of the guys will follow me. I was almost half dead to reach the tip and then sit. and while taking the single shoot I was made first to stand. U guys see the pic, u will understand. 

I will not forget that day then followed by was the echo rock wr i got escaped asked Jeffey to go first and experience the thrill it was still more dangerous but tension was quite less rofl !!! Then later was the terrible experience of climbing up again to the roads. Got exhausted people like Vijay will never forgot that day!! Later it was a resting place Lions cave and near to that Vatakanal Falls and other falls like bear shola falls - wow wow wow, it was a small falls, but only we guys experienced the nature's bathe. Later saw a 500 years old tree and mountain beauty. The day ended up in Cycling, we dint missed on the 2nd day, it was real fun cycling for about 5 kms ! we guys went for a 2nd round, for the next round myself and jeffrey took a double rider cycle were to ppl can ride in a single one !! It was a real fun. It was very late and we guys went to hotel and then played cards and were playing. 

June 5th:

It was the last day of the trip, started with Mahalakshmi temple visit and Palani View. Then went to some Setiyar park, it was a very nice silent place. Then we saw the whole Kodaikanal city view, and then went up to 20 kms up to view a excellent view of the mountain and temple !! Later the rain came we guys missed the boating. Later it was Fruit purchasing time, we guys purchased alot of fruits and later on 2nd day purchased loads of chocolate and herbal oils and teas !!! Then boarded the bus, we guys were exhausted and were almost in the state of vomiting while coming down the hills !!!!!!!!!!!! Later took rest and reached home safely the next day early morning !!!!! 

It looked like just a 3 days trip but it was like a 1 week experience !! The tour package was jam packed we guys dint had time to visit more places and even go for a movie which planned to go !!! rofl !! 

Wish we guys go again for a trip soon later this year and have a thrilling and exciting experience !!

Expecting a trip with my evergreen School and UG buddies to plan some were like this and hit out soon some where !!!! 

Hope the Dream comes true soon !!!
