~ ^ * ^ ~ Tsunami relief efforts ~ ^ * ^ ~

One of my friends is going to Tsunami affected area called Nagapaatinam. I with some other friends collected 4 huge bags of cloths, blankets etc and contacted about 25 houses to prepare chapatis. We arranged for arround 500 - 600 Chapatis.

- * - Team Lunch - * -

Had gone to Three Quarters, Chinese for the team Lunch. It crowded like hell.. but food was good.
One snap taken there:

* * Friend was there * *

One of my colleagues, from chennai was in Chennai yesterday when Tsunami
hit Chennai beach. He said, he was in deep sleep when Monster hit the
coast, ( uff very bad... lazy boy.. sleeping till 7:30 ??? ). His mom felt
that she was going in hectic train in her dreams. (Aunty bad too ..
sleeping till 7:30 ?? hmm ). After a major wobbling she got up and woke
this guy up. Every one realized its an earth quake..... Oh my God.. run run
run ... All vacated the apartment complex towards the street. Stayed there
for 30 min then got back in. Then he said, he went near Marina beach to see
the tragedy.. Many people are missing... I am feeling vey bad :(

Octa means 8The word Octa is derived from Sanskrit word 'Ashta' which means 8. :)
Let me try to comment on october, which is supposed to be 10th month of the year.

Septa, meaning 7 ( derived from sanskrit Sapta), So September means 7th month
Octa, meaning 8 ( derived from sanskrit Ashta),So October means 8th month
Novem, meaning 9 ( derived from sanskrit Nava)So November means 9th month
Deca, meaning 10 ( derived from sanskrit Dasha)So December means 10th month

Having this logic continued Jan and Feb will be 11th and 12th month respectively. This means March will be First month. But somehow, in the history, this convention of starting the year from March has been changed to Jan. Actually Indian Calendar starts from around Mid March. Also even today Financial Year in India starts from March.

The last one was little tough. Somehow I finished it.. :))

ಮೊದಲ ಪ್ರೇಮ

ನಿನ್ನ ಮೊಗದ ಮೊದಲ ನೋಟ
ನಾಟಿ ನನ್ನ ಮನದ ತೋಟ
ಏರಿ ಹೃದಯ ಬಡಿತದೋಟ
ಅದುವೆ ಮೊದಲ ಪ್ರೇಮ ಮಾಟ

ಕಣ್ಣ ಬಳಸಿ ಸಲಹೋ ರೆಪ್ಪೆ
ಹಣ್ಣ ಬಳಸಿ ಕಾಯೋ ಸಿಪ್ಪೆ
ನಿನ್ನ ಬಳಸಿ ನಾನು ನಿಲ್ಪೆ
ಮೊದಲ ಪ್ರೇಮ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿಯಂತೆ

ದಡವು ನದಿಗೆ ಉಗಮದಿಂದ
ಕಡಲ ಸೇರೋ ವರೆಗೂ ಕಾಯುವಂತೆ
ನನ್ನ ಮೊದಲ ಪ್ರೇಮವನ್ನು
ಕೊನೆಯವರೆಗೂ ಕಾಯೋ ಆಸೆ

Cool pic

Can u recognize them ?? What a photo ..

Another one

This is another piece of conversation between my sister and her 8 year old son, Bhargav.

Place: Home
Time: 8:00 PM
Scene: Bhargav is watching a test match in ESPN, India Vs South Africa. Now my sister wants to somehow convince him to switch to a Kannada channel. Here it goes..

Sister: Hey, Bhargav which match is this ..
Bhargav: Ma .. its India Vs South Africa.. Gambhir and Sehwag has played really well..
Sister: Oh is it.. (Thinking he might get convinced if she says its an old match).. Is it Live match, Bhargav?
Bhargav: Well.. (Very innoscently) it was Live ma..

ha ha ha . I fell down on floor to laugh at loud.. for his hidden sense of humor..

Mulla

"Do you love me, Mulla?" whispered the girl.
"Of course I do," Mulla Nasrudin whispered back.
"Will you marry me then?" she asked.
"LET'S NOT CHANGE THE SUBJECT?" said Nasrudin.

After the whole night journey we reached Kalasa, where we had booked a couple of hotels to accommodate around 60 people.

After yummy breakfast we started to a place called Hanuman gundi.

We had climb down thousands of steps to reach beneath the waterfalls. It was amazing falls. Spend a couple of hours there.

From there we started a place called Ganga moola, where in we had to trek for a couple of KM. We reached a kinda jungle where in a big structure of rocks were found. That was supposed to be the origin point of three rivers, Tunga, Bhadra and Netravati.

Sincerity

trnnnnnng trnnnnnnnnng .... it was my cell phone.. I picked up.. It was very sweet female voice, could not recognise though.
I was actually sitting on a stone bench on footpath of JC road. I had to paint my bike's number plate.
"who is this" I asked her.She was actually my colleague. She asked me whether I have seen her cell phone. Actually previous evening she had come to my place to listen to some music. She doubted whether she might have left it near my desk and I might have safely kept it somewhere. But I did not have any idea about it. So I tol I am not sure. She was almost like crying. She loved her cute phone very much.
Came back to office and visited her and told her she would defintely get it back. Bad thing is she had switched that off as battery was down.
Afternoon at around 3 she was ran out of office and back with her beloved phone. She came to me explained the whole story. Actually she had lost her phone in an Auto the previous evening. That Auto driver had seen that phone in morning and tried to reach her home number at her home town and informed that she had left in his Auto itself and then her parents had called her and told all these things. and she contacted him and he came back to office to give that phone back..
Great guy.. I am feeling very proud. Very happy as she got her beloved phone tooo.. Just wanted to share it with you guys.

The modern Ramayan

Got a call from manager and was told that I have an exciting assigment. I knew those languages so I was not excited from those so called mouth watering words. I asked what was that. It was all about a skit to be performed at the "All hands meet", the department get together.

We had a team of 6-7 guys and ahd around 10 days time to prepare. We decided to do a skit called The Modern Ramayana. All roles were decided among us. Narration was mine. As there are no girls in my team .. Alas.. so sad :(( !!! one of guys had agreed to take Sita's role. All was going very good until Sita suddenly had to attend a training. We had almost dropped it. The director and Script writer was sitting as if the whole sky has fallen on him.. No wanted to step back.

Thats the time we called one of the co-ordinators to our practice room. We just asked whether he can perfomr any of the roles. He was so restraint. He told he can not come on stage. Then we just staged a practice one of us took Sita's role as double acting and performed. Seeying this our co-ordinator got a great enthu and confidence and told that he can be narrator. But who would become Sita now !

Ok.. I was kicked out of Narrator's role, I never had any problems in taking Sita's role. We performed really very well. All enjoyed like anything..

At last was the announcement for Best actor award.. I could not believe myself, I was awarded .. I mentally thanked the person who went for training...

This was written before I returned from US. When I came here to US, I had no friends. KannadaAudio.com gave me all I missed. Now I am returning home missing all my friends.
In this confused state of missing friends and joy of going home I have written this poem

Jananee janma bhoomishcha .....

अपि स्वर्ण्मयी लंका न मॆ लक्ष्मण रॊचतॆ ।
जननी जन्मभूमिश्च स्वर्गादपि गरीयसि ॥

यदा राम-लक्ष्मणौ लंका नगरीम् प्रविष्यवन्तौ, लक्ष्मणॆन उच्यतॆ यत् वयम् अत्रैव वसामः , ऎतत् नगरी अतीव सुंदरी इति । तत्क्ष्णम् राममुखॆन श्लॊकमिदं उदितम् ॥

In seach of Seeta, Rama with his brother Lakshmana enters Lanka, the beatiful city. Lakshmana seeying that beauty asks his beloved brother whether they can stay there it self.. Rama being maryaadda purushottama, replies him with this famous verse.

Meaning: Hey Lakshmana, evethough Lanka is very cool place to stay, I dont like it as Mother and Mother Lands are more than Heaven ..

Folks.. so do I feel.. 6 months back arrived in the US for project work. Learnt a lot, got many new friends, experienced all the excitement.. but can not stay more.. Mother and Motherland is calling me back .. Flying back to Bangalore starting on 4th .. Very very excited to go back..

Driving on Freeway

It was an Unforgettable experience for me to drive for the forst time on US roads. Had been travelled to Dover, New Jersey from my place. It was around 150 mi.

All started when Kannada Audio members decided to meet at Oak Tree Rd, Edison for a Kannada movie called Poorva Para. I decided to hire a car this time, eventhough not driven much here in US. Was quite excited about it. It was a kind of Adventure for me. Here goes my list of preparations:

1. Went to DMV and took drivers manual and read all 12 chapters
2. Called Herts and booked the car
3. MapQuested all the routes and all possible permutation and combinations of return journey. I had plans to goto Phili also.
4. Called all the folks telling my arriving time and my schedule.
5. Took all friends' contact info.
6. Took my laptop, camera and some clothes.......

I was excited when I collected the keys from front desk and I drove a round to acquainted with it. Started from Endicott by 4:30PM towards Dover. When I reached first freeway I80 south I was actually horrified to see the speeds. I was driving at 50.. suddenly I could feel the speed.. everyone was forcing on freeway like anything. For about 5 min I was tensed.. But once I was into it, it was cool. I drove at around 65-70 mph. Its around 100-120 KMPH. Never had drven with such speeds. I could not feel anything. It was very normal. I reached Dover at 7:15PM without any problem..
