Bangalore, Biriyani, Beer, Birthday Bash and One Reception :-)
Its been ages since I went went to "swalpa adjust maadi" land and have been waiting to find an exjoose to head there. Adman pingd on GTALK and said " Dei waatha you better come to the reception da " and thats all I needed to decide that I am heading to Bangalore during the weekend of 13th December. I checked with Souperman and confirmed that he will be at Base that weekend and also found out that he will be using me as the guinea pig for his mutton cooking spree :P~
I get on to IRCTC and find out that there are no tickets available and I am like " OH FACK NOW THE WEEKEND IS SCREWED" and I get saved by this function of the railways called the Tatkal. I book tickets for Me and Trooper and the same day Abhi calls and says that his Bday bash will be that weekend too. OH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH :-)
I head to Central on the evening of the 12th... Me and Trooper put one quick Sand Piper at the local Tasmac and jump into the train and before I would say "Yo Momma So FAT" I was knocked out... ZZZZzzZZZ.. SNORE... SLEEP. We wake up the next morning when the train comes to one jerky halt at Bangy - East. Well this is the station that we were supposed to get down. Lazy bastards that we were, we wait for the train to reach CANT and get down there and one AUTO later we land up at Soups.
Ting Tong...TING TONG!!! - Soup opens the door after like 10 rings and We enter telling him that we are planning a breakfast at Pecos and beer and pork curry and lunch and all that. Soup completely ignores this whole conversation and says FACK AFF and goes back to sleep and we pass out too. After all this this is how my weekend went :-)...
7 AM - Wake up
7.30 AM - Sim and Mamada picked us up and he head to Airlines for breakfast. We are joined by Nai-Gun here. Some yummy uppumas and dosas later we exit the place
9 AM - We land up at Pecos only to find that the place is not open yet. The sweeper guy there glares at us with a " Despos looking for beer this early aa" look
10 AM - We land up at Muthus place to spend some time there
11 AM - I decide to drive Mamads's Petra back to Muneer Bee's place thus scaring the bejesus out of Sim and Trooper :P~ BWHAHAHAHA
11.30 AM - Me Sim and Trooper take a rick to Pecos and after that its wonlee Pork and Chicken and Beer and Steamed Rice
2 PM - Back to Bee's place for some chai and spare parts viewing.
2.30 PM - Back to Soups for some ZZZzzZ
6 PM - Wake up and chumma laze around. Decide that we will leave for Admans reception at 7.30. I get on G-Maps and find out where the place is.
8 PM - We get out of Soups and head to RT Nagar to pick up Fats and after that full bajaao the Gypsy to Kalathur Farms.
We enter the place to find the buggers drinking near make-shift bars near the car parking. I decide to stay sober and after the usual round of Hi Machi, Aye Yeno.. Yakko and Lawdekabaals later we head to wish Adman and Rash. After that my inbuilt food-seeking GPS leads me straight to the Biriyani and Chicken. Full belting later I head back to the parking and again jump into the gang for another round of " Hi machi ". Me, Soup and Fats decide to leave at 11.30 and I take the Gypsy's wheel and full offroading and jumping about later we stop at the CCD at Hebbal for a cuppa cha :-)
12.15 AM - Back at Soups and we put on "DONT MESS WITH THE ZOHAN" Man this was fackin hilarious
3.30 AM - Knocked out
9.30 AM - WHAT THE.. Fack its already morning
10.30 AM - Fats comes home and we head to Yajman's place where Abhi's bday brunch was happening.
Some 2 breezers and one KF lager later its all a Haze wonlee. Awesome Biriyani and Chicken here too. Dead Dog puked his guts out after drinking a mix of Rum and Vodka and Coconut Water.. HAHAHAHA Serves him right. He was locked up in the loo for like an hour. Somewhere at around 3 PM, we all decide to lift Yajaman's Fiat millecento and put it back on the road.. SUCESS :-)
4.30 PM - Me and Fats head back to Soups place and CONK OFF AGAIN
7 PM - The Eid Pardy at Soups place start and the buggers start pouring in :-) YUMMY BIRIYANI again and super HOT chicken and yummy kheer for dessert.
11.30 PM - Soups place is empty.. The guests and the food all gone. Soup drives me to CANT and I jump in to the train back home :-)
All in all a superb weekend :-)
Peace

RTMC 7A - Yahoooooooo Yercaud wonlee Machi :-)
Its fackin that time of the year again wonlee. Its when Bangalore bike fluckers and the Chennai bullet buggers get together at some random place under the excuse of something called a RTMC anniversary. Its been 7 rocking years since RTMC was formed and phrases like " Hum Saath saal.. thum lawdekabaal" were floating around the internet realm. The place where we crazy lot met up this time was Shevroys - Yercaud. This has been a tried and tested place and rest assured we fellas are gonna get wasted :-)))))))
Friday - 3rd October early morning 4AM. Dad wakes me up with a kick on my black bottom saying that its time for me to ride out. I call up Jeep Raj and wake him up from his slumber and we meet up at Concorde at 6.30. This was the first aniv ride that I am not riding with a group. Me and Raj decided to ride out as a batch and hit Yercaud noon-ish. Fueled up and started riding at 6.45 am from Shell. First break was just before Ranipet and after that it was Aryas at Vellore for a super breakfast. Constant speeds took us to our next break at Ponneri and then it was whack open throttle all the way up to yercaud. We climbed yercaud via the kuppanoor route and man the roads and surroundings were mega seckzie. Registered at the reception desk admist machanssssssssss and machiiiiiissssssss and lawdaaaaaaaaaaaas. A super lunch followed after which I put off one small nap.
3rd night was a Bonfire night with OH- flowing and stories overflowing at all corners. Was awesome meeting all the new faces at RTMC and I was overjoyed meeting all the old flucks too :-). Missed a few regulars though. I shutdown around 2ish cause the next day was going to be long :-)
4th October - Day 2 - Woke up to see a semi - naked An?l do the usual Puja. Scarab stood admist 2 bulls to get blessings from uncle An?l during the Puja. After the Elumbichai nasukification and the thenga odachification later the games for the day started. There was Lemon and Spoon on the bike and the Slow biking race and Arm wrestling. Took out Scarab and did a few stoppies here and there too.. Not to mention me dropping the bike on one of those stoppies :-). The night started off with a RM Curtain raiser by RTMC and DJ Samir starting with the dik chik mujik. I took over the console after a bit and managed to keep the crowd dancing for a bit. The crowd retired to the cozy outsides for sharing stories and a few laughs. This is the part of the day I like the most.. This is when you sit with old biker friends and remember what all happened in t he years that you have known each other. CAMAN THE ENJAIMENT WONLEE.
5th October - Day 3 - Woke up at 8 to see Gunfight and team heading out of Yercaud towards Chennai. I had decided to leave wonlee at 10 ish and ride chillax and reach chennai. Had a super breakfast and Me, Payloo, Ballcatch and Rohit left Yercaud at 10.30. More the people in the group the slower you ride. Rohit had couple of close calls and even managed to crash on one of those calls. Halted at Thirutathur to change his footpeg rod and rode on to Vaniyummy-badi for some khaja biriyani and chai. Bala and Narren joined us here and from here on I stuck with the 207 maintaining a constant 100 till the Dhaba. Couple of Chai's later the team left to chennai. That that man .. that that road wonlee. I rode straight inside IIT to the coffee day there to meet Srini, Naidu, Arvind, Bhavika and Swapna. Finally reached home at 11ish and after dinner it was just KRASHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Peace

Mum-BHAI :-)
Its been ages since I went to Bombay. 2 months of joining Syntel saw me flying to Mumbai for a week of oppice work and caman the enjaiment.
I am too dazed after the visit to give yall day by day logging.
Flew IA on the 8th and checked into Bharath Avenue @ Marol. For starters Mumbai is a freakingly huge place to go around. Andheri East to West is almost half the size of chennai. Well atleast thats what I felt. Hotel to Seepz was wonlee about 4 kms and the walk was about 30 mins. The auto fluckers are in abundance and they actually put meter to take ya around city but the sad part being most of em refuse to come to Marol.. dunno why.
Rain has become an integral part of Mumbai life. It was a constant drizzle from the time I landed till i came back to chennai. Weather was humid but better than hot chennai. Life is way to fast in Mumbai compared to the laidback life style i enjoy in Chennai. Seepz is not exactly a place where you would love to work out of. The Hiranandani Gardens office was something else. It was kick ass. WHAT A NICE :-)
Thanks to Friji and Anil - They took me around Lokandhwala for some shopping and loads of yumm food. The Rolls and the burji pav was most yumm. Thanks to em again for entertaining me at their place. Lovely place yall got there :-)
Sujay and Anupam decided that I know shite about Mumbai and took it upon their hands to enlighten me. So Me Sujai and Anupam took off on thursday evening in a car to Colaba. Man we drove and drove and finally reached Colaba couple of hours later. You can actually see the buildings, roads, cars and people change when you move from the suburbs to the city. The Porche and Rolls Royce showrooms were a sight to see. Sujay took care of explaining whatever came on the left of the road and Anupam was enlightening me about the buildings on the right. Got to Leopolds and then the OH- intake began. Couple of beers and vodka shots later.. we decided that Bade Miyan will be our dinner joint for the night. I expected a hotel kinda place but MAN it was a road side joint...more like a kaiyendhi bhavan which served ultry yummy ultra greasy food. Never have eaten bejah fry that good before. The return trip was via the central route and we saw the rush to see the famous Ganesha statue - Labaugh ka Raja. What a sight. It was 1 am when we reached Marol and SNOREEEEEEEEEEE wonlee.
Friday was a holiday back home in Chennai because of Onam but Mumbai was working. Wished ppl happy onam and got into a string of meetings. Flew back to chennai at night with all eyes on the air-hostess :P~. Well it was Kingfisher you see :-))
Mumbai is a lovely place. The road side food is a must eat. Buildings are freakishly tall and Real estate prices are obscene.
Leopolds and MontEdgar are a must visit
Bade Miyan and the Rolls shop @ Lokandhwala are must visits too.
You should sit at Nariman point and enjaai the skyline atleast for 30 mins
Peace

17 to Lanka
The Aug 15th weekend was fast approaching and plans were flying back and forth. One of em made loads of sense to me - DHANUSHKODI. This gave me an oppurtunity to ride to my native and also have a whale of a time with the boys :-)
Sim calls up a week before the ride and yells " Dei lawdekaballs, you better come and stay at Trichy on 14th else ill casterate you and throw the cut part to my daags". I was unsure about the ride tille about 2 days before it happened. Middle of all this, Katz come up with a plan to go to Kodai from trichy and then ride to dhanushkodi - YUMMY that sounded awesome. Well fackin that never happened cause that lawda fellow backed out at the last moment so KODAI was outta the door.
14th Mornin - Came into oppice at 7.30 and started work. I wanted to start riding at 4.30 along with the gang. Called up my boss and got permission to leave at 3.30 to go home and back. I was at the BP bunk on GST to see wonlee Gunfight and Bra. I was like " Dei wonlee us three aa ". Started riding and stopped at Chengalpet to regroup with Rohit and then the steady speeds began. Breaked for like 10 mins at Vikravandi and then few kms down the road met up with Bob, Swaps, Laxmi and Mellu. By that time the word "Sembaruthi" (Hibiscus) had got a new meaning. My ass was all dented and all :P~. The stretch btwn Trichy and Thindivanam has the most fackall roads ever and everytime we speed up we manage to hit a diversion board. Finally entered Trichy at about 11ish with me and Ravi leading the pack. My scare of doing a night ride faded and actually was a confidence booster. Went over to Sim's place to find the usual suspects already passing out. Had a little conversation with one Mr Chivas Regal and managed to pass out around 2.
15th morning - Woke up to Gunfight's " Thevidiyas and Mayirus " and got ready to head out to my Chitapa's place. Went and ate like a pig at his place and then after a hearty luncg at A1, the gang started off towards Dhanuskodi. Roads were ok. Managed to take a wrong route at pudukotai and good that we realised it fast :P~. Regrouped at Devakotai Road for a chai break and headed off to my Village for another break. The Villagers were stunned to see so many fancy dressed riding dudes. Ravi became a celebrity here with villagers wanting to take pics with him. Mellu then dropped a bomb saying that his reat tyre is punctured and DANG, one more hour went by. After some swift riding later, the gang reached Rameshwaram and settled down at Island Star. Me and Sim got ready in record time and started to check out the alcohol and food scene. Bra joined me in putting a beer at the local Tasmac and we walked right across to this joint called "Hotel Prakash". This places serves some unbelievably good and yummy and soft parottas. Killed the food completely and came back to the room for another session. This was more of a fancy engliss speaking session with words like achrimonious and ambiguous and wat not coming out :P~. Our man Naai Roast then says that we need to wake up at 4.30 the next morning. WHAT LAWDA I SAY.
16th Morning - Woke up at 4.30 to DD's call and got ready. It was time to ride close to Lanka. Jumped pillion with Trooper and proceeded to Dhanuskodi via really dark roads. Couple of yumm Tea's later the Van ride to the tip started and MAN OH MAN what a rush. There was Sea everywhere. A place where you could see the Bay of Bengal and The Indian Ocean at the same place. This place is about 17 kms from Sri Lanka. Met a local who was one of the survivors of the 1964 cyclone and he turned guide taking us through what happened. Rode back to Rameshwaram for some breakfast and a power nap. Woke up at 11 to find out everyone is packing to leave. SHAPAAAAAAA RIDING AGAIN AAA. Packed in a jiffy and fueled up. Plan was to go as far as possible on the route to chennai and stop for the night. We decided to take the ECR and travel all along the east coast till chennai. This was a good 550 kms. Roads were bad.. wait there was no fackin roads at all. Me, Bra and trooper decided to ride motocross and whacked the throttle open and bajaaod the bike on bad roads. Halted at karaikal at around 5.30 pm for lunch and after that all roads led to Pondy wonlee. Condom and Gunfight were advance party at Pondy and were looking for rooms. I entered pondy and joined Gunfight in the hunt. Dom left for chennai as he didnt want to break the ride flow. Bobby and Swaps finally managed to get us accos for the night - PHEW... I was thinking that we would be riding to chennai the same night. We feasted on the food and the alcohol went in. Gunfight managed to tell us stories of how he Tuts the Shrottle BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. After that SNOREEEEEEEEEEE wonlee.
17th Morning - Woke up at 7, Rode Back to Chennai, Reached at 9.20. Ate.. SLEPT, Woke up, Ate and Slept again :-)
All in all a fab ride. Dhanuskodi is a must see :-)

Quite a long time eh ?? Well lemme tell ya why wonlee.
For starters - I quit FogHorn on my birthday cause I got a job offer from Syntel the same day. Got selected as AM - Recruitment and was offered a good sum of money to jump in and take the offer. Started serving my notice period of one month. This was a long and boring one month. Not much work to do other than shifting what you were doing to others. DId all the chilling out because i know once you get to that new job things are gonna become MAD.FogHorn threw me a lovely farewell on my last day. Went as a gang to Sparkys and killed the buffet there.
Joined Syntel on the 23rd of June and got a seat in the HR Shared Services bay. Not much has changed in terms of people. The bay still has loads of fun ppl and its all the same riots and chaos. Got shifted to teh Adyar facility about two weeks back and have been enjaaing corp life till it lasts.
Bob and Swapi's 2nd Wedding aniv happened at Yelagiri and a gang of 12 took off from chennai to raid the mountains, drink it dry and smoke it high. Was a superb weekend with good food and mujik at Yelagiri. The highlight being - Bobby getting kambletely smashed and throwing up TWICE. The best part was that he accepted that he threw up when we asked him :P~

Was a superb weekend with good food and mujik at Yelagiri. The highlight being - Bobby getting kambletely smashed and throwing up TWICE. The best part was that he accepted that he threw up when we asked him :P~

THE DAY BOBBY GOT FUCKED - PART - 1 - By Ravi Kiran
PARTY DAY - 7:00PM, ANNA NAGAR.
"Cheers!!!"...said everyone in unison.
"Sarangan, this champ-agni is berrry nice." said Bobby as he gulped down a portion of Champagne and chased it with some cheese and pineapple on a stick. "I am so glad I bunked office and came here. I just told them I don't feel like coming today, and my office was perfectly fine with it."
We stood in the balcony, which gave us a fantastic view, letting us admire the five RD350s parked outside. Zoo, Sarangan, Burny and Bobby went slightly 'rocket'. There were others at the party too, but it's a little hazy. I know Dosai was there, but his role starts a few paragraphs later.
PARTY DAY - 3.00PM, ANNA NAGAR
The night goes and we move to an assortment of beverages, one after the other - vodka, whisky, beer, anything we could get our hands on with alcohol content. It was a fantastic party as usual, with lots of talking and general RD discussions. Sarangan played some Jethro Tull, and we ended having Jet Airways finest. We finally parted ways only to realise that Bobby is too smashed to go back home. Also, he had a small predicament that affects a few men, 'fear-of-wife'. So we went to my house and slept.
DAY AFTER PARTY - 9.00AM, (SOMEWHERE IN TNAGAR)
Swapna: Hello? Hi, is Bobby there?
Manager: Oh, Hi, Swapna, how is your father?
Swapna: Why, what happened?
Manager: Bobby said your Father was seriously ill and that he had to go to the hospital. So I told him he didn't have to come to office last night. How is your father?
Swapna: Oh! (Bobby, you @*$%!&!!!) He is fine. Thanks for letting Bobby come, we really needed his support.
Manager: Ok Swapna, take care then
Swapna: Bye.
DAY AFTER PARTY - 9.00AM ANNA NAGAR
"Dai, Bobby! I am off to office, lock the door and go back to sleep. Drop of the keys at my office on your way home", as I was just about to turn around and leave, I saw Bobby jump up like a spring and chanting "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit..." On enquiring, apparently, I was on the recieving end because I didn't wake him up at 6 o clock in the morning. Bobby took off home right then, and I left for office, still reeking of alcohol.
DAY AFTER PARTY - 11.00AM ANNA NAGAR
My phone rings.
Me: Hello?
Swapna: (sob, sob. sniff, sniff)
Me: Heloooo?
Swapna: Ravi?
Me: Swapna?! (uh oh) Why are you crying?
Swapna: Ravi, I want you tell me the truth.
Me: Hello? Hello? ....Sw...Hel..
Swapna: Dai, I know you can hear me
Me: Okay...what do you want to know?
Swapna: Where was Bobby last night?
Me: (I cant believe I have a call waiting at this time - Burny??? Why was he calling?)
Swapna: Please Ravi, I need to know. Where was Bobby last night? I called his office and they said he didn't show up. So where was he?
Me: Ok, he was at my place. But what is the matter? (what the hell does does Burny want? - now Bobby's calling?! UH-OH! This means trouble)
Swapna: Ravi, please don't lie to me.
Me: I swear it, he was in my house. Er...I will have to call you back.
DUMMMMM.......

The 3 steeds standing tall... looking at the skies :-)
Its a loong fackin time since I went to Ladakh but still the memories remain. This pic is one such beautiful sight enroute to Lamayuru from Leh. I never actually did write about this trip but what the heck, I saw all this and came back to tell stories about it. We still laugh when we start off conversations with " Macha.. Back home in Keylong ".
This year the mountains are calling again but I guess I wont be doing the same stretch again for the next couple of years. Maybe North East, maybe Uttranchal, maybe the Rann but what looks bight right now is the South. There is a liquid plan of doing the East and West belt of South India. Loads of us would have gone to Ladakh but most of us would not have seen much of the south. This trip will mostly center around visiting nook and corner of Kerala, visit important places in Andhra, Karnataka and Tamilnadu. 20 days needed to do this aaraam se. So lets all see how this liquid plan solidifies and lets see how many actually join in and finally lets see how many actually ride. Its Feb and there is still loads of time.
Peace

And all that Jazz
After all the abuses and KWAK THOOs and more abuses later, Me and Divs finally decided that Wednesday would be the right time to meet up and catch up on whats going on wonlee. There was this choice of Amethyst or Anokhi. The previous day i get a call from her askin if I know JAZZ ( Waddafack ) and that there is a Jazz concert happening Wednesday evening and she has been marked to cover the event for this Hindu - IT CORRIDOR specific suppliment called ERGO ( wat a nice ). So I was naturally exited because i am drama king and can anytime pull off as a Journalist with jolna pai and soda butti :P~. There was also this clause from her end that I behave myself at the concert. So this is where it got Jazzed :-)
Picked up Divs at 6.30 and moved towards Alliance in neck to neck traffic. Divs was like " I am gonna faint dude cause am that hungry ". So we finally manage to reach the venue at 7 ( HAH THANKS TO MY ELITE RIDING SKILLS ). We run up to the Audi and find that the concert has not started yet so caman the run to the canteen wonlee. Couple of Sandwiches later, we enter the audi to find Madam Lisa Patterson explaining what this is all about. She starts off with the singing while her hands played around on the Keys of a M-Audio Keyboard. Couple of songs later a Kurta wearing dude joined in with his collection of Flutes. This guy's name was Naveen and MAN he knows how to blow his wind instruments. Lovely wonlee it was. Then Keith and Subbu join Lisa on Bass and percussions. No came the real thing, full jamming session with solo pieces of all three instruments. Well i dont remember the names of the songs they played but there was in song in the end with loads of Hallelujah in it. For a second I thought i was sitting in a Paul Dhinakaran's assembly of god prayer meet BWHAHAHAHAHAHA. Then Divs next to me starts to sing along too and well ahemmmm I join in too. What fun I say. The concert ends at 9.30 and divs runs up to Lisa to have a few words. Full page three wonlee :P~. Frankly speaking she was kick ass when she did covers and when she was on high scales. However there was lil loss of control when the song went slow.
Both the two of us exit Alliance and head out to Cream Center for dinner. After a Pasta - In - Pasta and a FACKIN HUGE glass of Peach ice tea later, I drop Divs home and head back home myself with visions of Lisa doing that scottish dance between sticks. HUP HUP HUP :-). All in all a fantastic evening.
Spell errors are always there in whatever i write SO DONT POINT IT OUT x-(
