~ The Fall ~
Nov 26th was just another day. Atleast thats what i thought. Had a good lunch and came down for a smoke. Bharani wanted me to check the brakes on his RD350, so i took it out for a spin. He had warned me that there were absolutely no brakes on the beast. I being the MADMAN that I always am decided to do this without the helmet and what comes next ?? - CRASH BANG KERPLONG ..... OWCHHHHHH. I tried cutting gears and braking but no use. Froze on the bike and went head-on into a closed shop shutter - FULL MOVIE ISHTYLE. Ended up getting stiches under my eye and a hurt leg (the bike fell on me). Rest for 4 days and am back wonlee it is.
Thanks to all the buggers who called/sms'd me a speedy recovery :-). Love ya all
Peace

This week was sad too. One of my friend's dad passed away due to massive cardiac failure. CONDOLENCES to him and his family :-(
Other that all this life is pretty much like clockwork now. HOME - WORK - BEACH - HOME. Ok ok lemme stop my whining now.. Sitting here at office on a Sunday and typing all this.

Busy Week and the New Dude
The past one week has been like flucking busy wonlee. Lots of graphics work started coming in and it was lil frustrating sitting on ur arse all day and doing design.
My heartiest congratulations to Bala and Kavitha. - Kavitha delivered a healthy baby biker boi on the 21st of this month. He was named Ankush (The spear that Lord Ganesh carries). The kid is a kewtie :-) and was fasssst asleep when i first saw him 21st evening. This sure means one thing - There is going to be lots more chaos and toys at Bala's place.
Kalidas, a collegue of mine got married on the 7th of September. Many Congrats to him and his family for a prosperous time ahead.
RTMC's 4A is fast coming up and there is a group riding to Yercaud on the 1st of october. This is going to be a PARDY worth attending.
LAST - I am totally fed up with the mobile that I have now. I am on the lookout for an old Ngage (The Taco talking model). If anyone who reads this has the old model engage to sell then please mail me at "manoaj at gmail dot com".

Went on a superb trip to Vailankanni during the last week of August along with Mom and Dad. You ppl should see the crowd at the place - Man it was to the brim. Spent 2 peaceful days there. From there went bumpety-bump by a local bus to Thanjavur to one of my relatives place and started from there same night to Trichy (Another 2 hr journey). Met few of my relatives there too for dinner. Boarded the train back to chennai on Sunday night and was back here monday mornin. TO sum it up - A Great trip. This place is worth visiting because of all its Churches and grandeour.
September looks like a good month for me :-). Well am not gonna sat it this early cause i already fell ill twice in 10 days :-(. It has started raining in chennai and the change in weather has brought in the Flu and the Fever :-(. Nothin like curling up on the bed with a Robert Jordan Novel during the Flu days . WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO CAMANNNNN DA ENJAIMENT

Bala's Bike - In Tatters
One interesting pic from the Yercaud trip is this one. This is how Bala's bike looked like after the crash. Notice closely and ull see the bent handle. The bike looked like a HALF SPORTS BIKE - HALF CRUISER. Had fun riding the bike this way for about 12 kms after which we got it repaired.
Madras Bulls T-Shirt
The design part for a New T-Shirt for Madras Bulls is going on for the past month. This is one of the design that might get printed.

Ahoy Yercaud :-)
Went on a weekend trip to Yercaud. 9 bikes and 10 doods in all. This trip was a break from the hectic work schedule for all the riders. Started off on 13th mornin from Meridian-Chennai. Went through Vellore,Ambur and Utthangarai to reach Yercaud. The ghat section was smashing. Bala, a fellow rider decided to fly the bike instead of riding. Vinodh who was tailing him decided to stay on the roads but still fall.
Getting accomodation at Yercaud was a pain. Me had to scout around for a long time in search of a decent place to stay. Finally found an apartment for the 2 nights that we were gonna stay. After the settling in the CH3-CH2-OH and Biriyani started flowing and it was officially CAMAN DA PARDYYYYYY time.
Went down to Salem with Bala to get his bike repaired and to meet one of my Dad's students. The Yercaud - Salem ghat section was "SEX ON TOES". Loved zoomin down the hills on the bird. Went over to see Pagoda point (what a view macha wonlee it is).
15th - Happy Independance Day. Started off at 6:30 am from Yercaud and stopped for breakfast at Salem. After some mech antics and tanking up we started off towards Ulundurpettai. Decided at U-Pettai that we will hit Pondy for lunch and some beer. After the lousy food at Yercaud, the pondy lunch was heaven. Hit the ECR after lunch and just after we crossed Marakanam - It started raining heavily. But that didnt stop the pack. We continued towards chennai and I was back home by 8 in the evening.
Lots of pics were taken. Will post up the pics soon :-)

A still of us .. the explorers ;)
This is my fav pic of this ride. Take by mastah photo-grabber Pallavi some 1 km into the Belum caves. Me, Rockz and Pals started off by ourselves to do some explorin. We didnt take the normal route but took the OUT route to go in. This was mainly done to beat the other explorers (some 300 noisy girls).
Rocky asked us to stop at this place,balenced the camera on a rock and set the timer and ran up to us for the pic

Madras Bulls on their way
The MAD BUNCH who made their way back to Chennai from Belum.U can spot me at the back standing on my Bull. This was on Sunday mornin when we were just about to start off on out 450 kms journey back to Chennai
Start of the Wheelieeeeeeeeeeeee
Looks like am uncontrollable wheelie does'nt it, Well its not. Adi took this on the way back from Belum admist some beautiful ghat oriented roads.
I slowed down when he started to click me and started the wheelie and bugger Adi clicked when I was jus lifting the bike, so one leg is still slightly touchin the road and the other on the way to the foot-peg. Anyways all this was immense fun. What else can I say other than CAMAN DA WHEELIES

WORK - TADA - BANGALORE - ME
Work is keeping moi busy. Been sometime since blogger saw me :P~.
Went to TADA (AP) on the 10th of July with a few other Bullet riders. Had a ball of a time splashing about in the waters. The offroading trip to the place was too good. The dudes who missed this trip missed somethin exiting ;-). Pics taken by Surya are out and me will post em asap
Went to Bangalore on an official client_oriented trip. The 2 days in bangalore flew in a jiffy. Absolutely no fun outings and stuff. Was moving around Bangalore the whole day scheduling and attending meetings. Bottom line - Pretty good trip from a business point of view.
Sethu's marriage happened on the 15th of July. All the very best to him. 14th and 15h went off very fast too. Been a long time since I had good food at a reception. This one topped it all. The food was amazing *grin*. Captured a few shots at the wedding using Bala's SLR. Will post em up as soon as they get developed.
Saw a few movies over the weekend - Nothin new.
Peace
