My recent vacation II

After having spent 23 hours in paramakudi, I started to tirunelveli for my visit to another aunt. Tried getting that stupid AA battery again on the way in madurai. I could hear god say "NO-way-kid". huh? Very tiresome ride and spent some 4 hours in my aunt's place I hope b4 I started to visit my grandpa and grandma in a nearby town. My grandpa had shifted the house some time back. The local people helped me a lot in finding his house. These people really had lot of time to help others, unlike b'lorians. I am not saying b'lore ppl are inimicable. But I still wonder y they always lead u in the opposite direction, if u ask them abt some address in here. Do they really enjoy putting other ppl's life into trouble or they really dont know the way. But y cant they say a "NO" if they really dont know. God knows.

Anyways one simple corporate observation: PEOPLE TURN INTO RESOURCES (typical HR terms) WHEN THEY CAN CONVERT TIME INTO MONEY AND THAT SHOULD EXPLAIN IT ALL.

Spent the day there in my grand pa's place. And started to trivandrum next day. For some reason, I like kerala. The green trees, the musical language, the (fairer gender) people and all that. I had been in trivandrum for some 2 months for my TCS training. Quite a good place. I visited the Techno park, the cool hostel we lived in etc., Damn I cudnt get those idiotic batteries even in trivandrum. Couldnt take any pics. Anyways this is how the tcs techno park training centre look like.

I really had a nice time with the group of Mr.A, Mr.S, Miss.S and Miss.M. Mr.A has the tendency of being always with gals. I dnt know whether dat cud be a reason I was along with him :-) Mr.S is new to the south and is the room mate of Mr.A. Miss.S is the room mate of Miss.M who is well guarded by Mr.A at all times. Miss.M is known for her thousands of expressions that go in her face in a span of 5 mins talk with any 1 in this world. She is just a little cute and beautiful having the same name as my (EX-)BIG-TIME-CRUSH-MBA-GAL (EX is still not decided :-)). I know going behing a MBA gal is too much for me in my col days. But ya it did happen. Coincidence plays its part. I saw her in b'lore y'day out of no where. That's another story.

After visiting the techno park I went to the TCS hostel where I had stayed with my batch mates. I went to the canteen, the unforgettable-lobby-where-I-made-another-Miss.M-part-of-my-fav-friend-list or rather her fav-friends-list (this is the difficult part I guess). Nostalgia struck. The HDFC atm where I took my first salary out, the shopping complex where I had gone to shopping with Miss. A and another Miss.M, the coffee shop where Me and our group have coffee on the way from technopark to our hostel, the hotel chennai only-place-of-non-coconut-oil-food, the nearby daba wala where we have our gobi, paratta, milkshakes etc for economic reasons, the nearby temple which I visit only for the sweet sakkarai pongal they gave and all that. I did call up my batch ppl from trivandrum and they were really happy to see the '0471' flashing on their screens.

Vacation to be continued..
