Christmas came and went, Relatives came and *poof*. Good wine , Amazing biriyani and the clatter of children arnd the house - Smashing christmas. The smashing christmas was closely followed by a shattering earthquake and a big time TSUNAMI. About 24,000 ppl perished in Indonesia, TN , Malaysia, Lanka , Kerala and the east coast. The quake was measured to be 8.9 on the seismic scale and is the largest quake in India since 1900. My condolences and prayers to the ppl who perished and their loved ones.

My cellular phone is givin me lotsa problems lately and I AM GETTING QUITE PISSED at Sony Erricson for all this trauma am going through.

Ridermania is coming near and the Madrasbulls are planning heavy to ride down to bombay for the event. This is gonna be my first big ride and hope everything goes well for me and my riding buddies. My bike is a trusty dude so NO PROBLEMO. Hope everything falls into place and we take off and return back safe and sound.

Peace

Dude who drives like HELL bound to get there

Thats what happened to Shamsher last friday. He has a freak accident near Besant Avenue and luckily he escaped entering HELL. He escaped with a few road burns on his back and arms. He was admitted to Malar Hospital. Well the good news is that he was discharged within 24 hrs and he is back home - Good HEALTH and all :-)

Karthik landed in India after like a year. Am scheduled to meet him this week so that we can go over to Highbrew and he can set things straight.

Hectic work for the past 10 days at Office. Since my senior is on leave , the job load on me increased 2 folds :-\.

Went along with Lakshmi, Boo and Venkat to see Balli in the hospital. He is doing well after his Knee orthoscopy. The funny part was the bike ride that me and Lakshmi had. We braved Rain , Wind and the Sun to drive abt 30 kms to the hospital. An even funnier thing is that Karapans caught us red-handed while we were driving.

When the Clutch drops the BS stops - Anon

When Dosai drops the exitement stops - Shiva :P~



Tasks came on swift wings during the past week. Was running arnd the whole time. Planned a biking trip to Yercaud along with Bala and Shamsher. This ride is gonna happen on 11th dec 2004. Got my first Cheque from Highbrew - YAY. Was concentrating on the LSST project for the past 10 days. Finally the testing version was released and uploaded to the servers sucessfully.

Been fiddling with my new SE T630 for some time now, trust me people - for its price/segment - The phone owns every other toy.



Getting addicted to Caffene - The mochas and the expressos i drink are pure SIN, Should control all that , But what the heck - 3 cofees a day wont hurt, will it ?. Well Qwikys is as of now the stress buster shack :P~

When long time since i screamed out here.

Well for starters - Highbrew Tech is going full swing. The Indian ODC employed a .NET developer and he along with Hari and Vikram set up the office. I was busy at office but then managed to go to Highbrew in the evenings and look at what was goin on. Well it is/was a bit scary cause its the first time that am doin this managing stuff and also cause Ganesh, the dude who heads Highbrew India left for the US of A. There were some initial glitches in installing the softwares but then it was overcome and everythin was set for the projects to come in. About a week back Parthy came up with an existing procect called LSST and asked Raja (.NET devel) to go through it until he gets the hang of it.

Went for a good ride to Mahaballipuram along with the BULLS. Did some good offroading and had fun. My bull's chain broke and the sproked got screwed ;-(. Well after chain breaking , Parts falling off bike , Engine seizures later the group finally got back to chennai. I spent about 2K for my bike for repairs and stuff. Other than this all i could see in the Madbull forum are ego clashes, ego clashes and more ego clashes. Well Me and Nazgul will stay happy as long as we get on the road and ride. I will soon have pics of my bike featured here. Thanks to Sachin and his efforts the Madbulls were trated to a tech session on seizures and tips by Vikram. Rider Mania is also coming up and ill post up some info on it in the later posts

Well all the fun ends here. The second week of November was a sad one for me and one of my friend. Her dad passed away during this time due to medical complications. He was in Hepatic coma for 4 or 5 days after which he was moved to Chrompet but being very serious he did not survive. May his soul rest in PEACE and my deepest condolences to her and her Family.

Umm this page didnt work for me for a long long time .. WHY ? Cause i was using a box that was filled with ads, virii, keyloggers and IE 6. Then after a while installed Firefox and finally back here.

Lots of stuff happened over the past couple of weeks. For starters the new version of Highbrew Tech was released by MNK. Then came the initiation of Highbrew Labs. Highbrew labs is a place where all the R & D work relating to Highbrew tech takes place.. Bought a new Hadgren bag called Damned. I would say its one of it kind and a kick ass piece of travelgrear that anyone can carry.

Every Dog has its day , Every Fool has his way, Every worker has his pay *grin*

PADI Atlast went live on 4th OCTOBER 2004. A single invoice was sucessfully taken admist a puja that happened in the SALES WAREHOUSE dept. Thanks to the super tough work and the atmost dedication by the SAP team :). Many changes took place after oct 4th. For example - Swami and Gopi were transferred to the DESPATCH CELL, The printing and processing of invoices on SAP was handed over to SWH. Work has literally reduced by 60 % after SAP went online.

Met Ganesh at his place and discussed how we are gonna go abt setting up Hibrew's ODC in Chennai. It was decided that we will have the office in T-NAGAR. Made some changes/mods to the logos i made for Highbrew based on suggestions by an Anon user , Divya and MNK. Am not a pro logo designer but what the heck there is always room for improvement.

To Hell with u - To Heaven with us

Thats the MAdbull catch phrase. Yeah its is rude if ya take it the wrong way.

The last couple of days were tiersome cause there is a major change thats gonna happen in Sundram Fastners Padi. PADI is moving to a SAP based env from Oracle. Because of this the Physical inventory is being taken and yeah am a part of it. This is no small company to verify ur stock and take the PI within a day *grin* , so this big work was split over 4 days among over 40 ppl. Each one of us is given an inventory regardless of who the heck u are. Be it a programmer or a clerk - everyone has to do this one job for the specified 3 days. So i went arnd collecting forms and loading the data into Oracle. From oracle the data will be transferred to SAP through LSMW.

To be frank am too tierd to type anythin here .. so adios

Fortune Fame , Mirrors Vain , Gone Insane but the MEMORY REMAINS - That is if u got the brain to remember all the shitz that happened in the past

Wentover to Jaf's Auto Garage yest and man what a sight. Gleaming bulls all over. I pirticularly fell in love with a Taurus that he was assembling. From there Me Antony and Surya rode to Woods drive-in and met the other bulls. It was Ranga's bday and the food and drinks were on him.

I was playing Quake 3 multiplayer yest and it was really frustrating cause i was not able to concentrate on the others. Net result - I was FRAGBAIT.
So what i did, I stood up and closed my eyes. Took in a deep breath and when i let out the Co2, I struck my tounge out as faras it would go and i screamed like a Gargoyle that had got electrocuted in Black Mesa. That really vents out ur frustration. I call it The 'FRAGBAIT ASANA'. The next bad thing was tryin to play a Multiplayer match on a #@$@#$ dialup :-(. Everythin else moves at normal speed and U , ONLY FSCKING U move slowly. Lemme get a cable the all the Q3 servers are belong to me. *grin*

Humm everyone says Women belong to the weaker sex - BULL SHIT BULLLL SHIT. The story below would contradict that statement. The woman has only one small G-SPOT while the MAN is one whole G-SPOT.

=============================================

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident, it's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt.
After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but fortunately we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days."
The man replied, "I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!"

The woman continued, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune."

Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it, drinks half the bottle, and extends it back to the woman. Politely, the woman refuses to accept the bottle.

The man asks, "Aren't you having any?"

The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police!!!"

==========================================

What would have happened if the man was in the women's shoes ??. They would have both got drunk and increased the population

Even an Ugly Cat was once a Cute Pussy :D

Just thought i would say that for the heck of it.

A week back MNK (Madras Narayanaswami Karthik) told me of a new company that he and a few of his friends had started and he really got my attention. The company is called Highbrew Technologies. Highbrew is a London based company with offices in North America and Chennai :-). In a couple of days I joined highbrew as a part-time developer.

Harish Anand Thilakan (A Fellow Madbull) is celebrating his 20th birthday today. CHEERS. There was a birthday bash at his place last night and trust me ppl - THE FOOD WAS AWESOME :))). BTW Harish owns a company called Influx Dzine

Me and 20 other Madras Bulls riders are doing a ride to Yelagiri. This ride is happening because of the RTMC 3rd Aniv. More than 50 bulls from Bangalore are making their way to yelagiri. They will be joined by us DA MAD BULLS

Minutes of The MGM MEET

This doc tells all on what happened on 30/05/2004 from the Moderator's View

This day was a planned one, the plan (no idea who made it) was neatly sketched to me by Lakshmi. The plan actually was to shop for Madhoo and start to MGM Dizee World around 2 PM and get back home by 8 but nothin of that sort happened. The plan was preponed to 11.30 by ventaks and the start was to be made from Adyar bus stand



I started towards lakshmi's house arnd 10 and reached thendral apts by 10.15 only to be confronted by Kui's mother who was weilding a kitchen knife. After lotsa compromise she laid the weapon down and i was trated to ICE COLD water at her place. Me and Kui started from her place and headed towards NagaVidhya's(NV) house. NV had just returned from office - She managed to freshen up, gulp down a glass of MILO and start with us. The time was already 11.45 and the meet was sched at 11.30 so we were completely out of time. Met Karapans, Monnai and Sweety at SHAKES and after the usual round of Hi's we started towards the BUS STAND. I was the first one to reach there and i was almost torn apart by an angry venkat who was mad because we did not turn up on time.

Guru was called and i went over to pick him up at his place and move directly to MGM while the others come there by BUS from Adyar. I picked up guru and ge started towards MGS which is about 20 kms off adyar. After the usual round of smokes and after speeds of 70 - 80 kmph we reached MGM only to wait for 50 mins after which the others landed on a 'bumpety bump share auto'. I parked Darkside, locked the HELMET and thanks to Kui,Ventaks and ACDC we got 25% off on the MEGA FUN PACKAGE. We entered MGM and the tickets were strapped onto our right hand. There were several complaints from the peeps on the angle/way the tickets were strapped. From here thanks to my super volatile memory I will only be able to showcase the highlights.

The Rides :

The first ride i faintly remember was takin us in all directions but no one screamed , The second was somethin like a a death drive but we cam back alive. The Highlights of the rides were RANGER and ROLLER COASTER. They were so mind blowing that boo attained puberty right in the middle of the ranger ride :P~. The weak hearted Balli and Boo refrained from facing the RANGER, If u ask me they were Plain CHICKEN.

Then came the Waterworld madness and Pratap and Ventax readily stripped and jumped into the water via a 40 feet long slide. Pratap came back alive but ventax nearly drowned, thanks to the guard he was saved from swallowing high clorinated water. I meanwhile went out to a peaceful corner and had my usual dose of TAR and Nicotine while the ladies refreshed themselves with Tea and hot Bajji's. Sweety , Kui clicked pics all through the day. Sweety's camera was the center of attraction because it was priced less than the MegaFUN package. By now the time was like 7 PM. After a few more rides and an excellent dappanguthu display by a small boy, we took the last round of pics and moved towards the exit.

I again managed good speeds and reached Adyar by 8. After that Me David , Sid and Sai went to Devi and saw "THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW".

HA HA HA
Back from the sabbatical that i was takin , Back from the murky waters called work, Back from workin for 14 hrs daily, Back from action. I have made it a habit to blog only once a month compared to the daily updating of this spot.

The point is I Am HAPPY and kickin life as it comes :-). I have my very own companion and she comes with me where ever i go. I talk to her and sometimes sing too. DARKSIDE's been very dear to me and is behaving very well these days under me. SHe is fulfilling all my fantasies and my secret fetishes. There was a sad part to when a fellow MADBULL called VARUN went on his last journey towards heaven. I dont know him personally and from what ppl say - HE WAS ONE HELL OF A GUY.

There is this aniv ride thats comin up thats gonna take me to PONDY , The France of TN. Lookin fwd to it. I released the 6th STATUS mail and it kicked up quite a ruckus in the group, but WTF its only YAHOO ATM.

Muthu and Kannan got into polaris - THUMBS up to em :-), Two guys have replaced them and they seem to take work very easy. As of now Venkatesh.N is sharing my dirty work and is givin me some free time to have a go at ORACLE and stuph.

After a long time i spoke/saw SmileCH and i was very happy cause i missed her bad :). Been logging to YCHAT often and wastin my time there :P~. Other than all this there is nothin more to say about what's happenin in dosai's life.

--EOL--

Its been a long time since is entered anythin in this space, been busy. Lotsa things happened in this short gap on 15 days. Sindhu,Sheila came down from singapore to meet up with the chennai Yahoo clan. Thanks to them i met Prem,Stephen,Nainar and Mallika :-). They came down on 7th of Jan and went their way to kodai,madurai...blah blah blah. Went to Sid's place last saturday and he was not there, gave him a call and he said he was at a book fair. So filled up gas on the HARLEY and went to Besant Nagar's Beach (ELLIOTS) all alone =). I had such a good time walking the sandy streach by myself. Thoughts flew in all directions. Due to popular demand i am growing hair under my nose - looks creepy and feels irritation - but TO HELL WITH THE IRRITATION :D. I went back to sid's place and to everyone's suprise he said he has got a bottle of mexican tequilla :))). Went to palavakkam armed with it and some other goodies and had a very good time. Went to Southern Moters (ANNA NAGAR) and got the Invoice,loan details for THUNDERBIRD. The bike was a beauty and she felt really good between my legs :-P~. Mom say that she will get the money only at the end of FEB so it seems like i gotta wait another month to get the bird :((. Lakshu gave me a call and ranted for some time,was good talkin to her :)
