How is a Christmas Birthday?

Birthday

Happy Birthday...

Now that you are as *old* as I am.

Happy Birthday Sister-in-cork

We met once in a coffee shop with our common friends (we ended up sitting there for thirty minutes and didn't order any). Then we planned to meet for a night trek, but our common friends had different plans of kidnapping her and ended up in the Airport. Then may be a puli kolambu lunch at my home, but the host betrayed. So her curse still holds good! :-( we bonded more in our blogs and are good friends now. She is also one of my favorite bloggers. 

Many more Happy returns of the day Revs! Wishing that many more wishes of yours come true.

One more wish, Happy Birthday Rajini. God bless you with more success and give us few more hits like Thillu Mullu, Thalaphathi and Baasha. :-)

Happy Birthday Kannan

Who said Birthday's are to be celebrated at 00:00 hrs of The day. So differently we decided to celebrate it at 23:59 hrs. Thats the easiest excuse we can take of the laziness. But its fun to wake the half asleep guy and stuff some cream on his face. }:-) Sigh! What is life if you cant eat an German Chocolate cake! :-( I officially hate GM diet.

Happy Birthday Dams. We wish you many more growths in your life ;) and success be with you. Share the cake with Vijay too. :)

Also one more new arrival to the our home (dhanda selavu). The Raja of our home got a new Guitar and a posh bag for it. Dams duly said, "Hey the bag is big enough that you can stuff extra cloths when you are going home." Perspective varies you see! :)

Well the highlight of the day was this Happy Birthday song The Raja of our home played in his new Guitar. Listen and Enjoy!

P.S: The audio is very low. We will try getting a louder and good version soon.

ScribblinG turns 4 today

Time runs fast and here this very own blog of mine turns 4 years today. Happy Birthday ScribblinG! Yeah it seems sane to me to wish this page Happy Birthday year after year. It was so much part of me all the way.

I always wanted to have a page of mine out there on the web. Even with limited and high cost in affordability of Internet, I did have a page in geocities (but geocities is already history and I'm not able to trace my page back). Thanks to Google and Blogger, things got simpler and I created this blog during my internship in Intel. Started writing many rants and became a serious hobby. In fact it was a space for me.

Those rants, travelogue, sports, photography, poems, videos, minima template and lot more have always given me so much fun. I gained many friends and critiques through this very own page. Personally I improved on my writing.

Once again where ever you are Thanks for being a Reader!

Birthdays, Cakes and 79

I archive photos, I archive photos like mad. :-) That's a serious hobby leave it. Browsing the archive I noticed this series of cakes I tasted. I wish I had all the *other* cake snaps too. Trust me this is only 10% of the total cakes I would have tasted. Cake walk, Just bake are some of the outlets in Bangalore we regularly knock into.

This is one of the special cake. Its a White Forest. We got this for our college farewell. But fortunately the guy (Mr.Gethu) stacked the cake vertically. That's why you can see both the sides tapered and the cake looks oval in shape.

This was for my class PR. That guy fortunately had fever to escape from the bums that year. Unfortunately I don remember the flavor.

This was one of the three cakes of my previous Birthday! :) It was a Black Forest. I wonder what all people imagine to write on the cakes.

Ah! This one is a Chocolate Fantasy. Its all faint memories of tasting this cake. All I remember was people using it as a facial. Yeah yeah, you read the first work right. :P

This cake was the heights! Its a Pineapple Flavor. Look at the essay writing on the cake. The vendor would have been sigh on getting this done. See how many candles, I guess the Birthday boy would have been burnt before he blew them off.

There are many others! I'm not remembering many of them.

Restart Blogging

Off lately I was banging my head reading ASCII chart and gdb. But Its fun you know. Also was trying out pair programming for two days and seems to work out of the given problem. Tried venting out in a coffee break conversation all about Blogging with a friend.

I started blogging almost 2.5 years back. Made around 200 post. I don categorise on what I write, I just write all the junk I feel like. I write when I feel liking. Also got to confess that adherent follower of Blogger platform. During this whole journey, had formed small sets of blogger around me reading and exchanging comments and reviews. But today I was reminded of all the old bloggers I knew. I thought of saying them a "hi" and give them a nice whip on the butt to re-start blogging. Oh yeah! I know everyone is either busy at work or married. Still give it a thought. Here are some of them... If someone is really think to rethink. Let me know. :)

This laptop is running of charge, I need to rush. Happy Birthday Rohit. Wishing you all the glamour and get ................ :-)

25/12/2008 and boxing day

Thank You! Thanks for all those calls, those sms, those mails, those comments, those scraps, those flashy color chocolates, those b'day songs, those cakes, those blessings, those wonderful goodies and this post. All have made this birthday beautiful and memorable. Again Thx all.

Humm, Its boxing day now. I got to pack them, pack them all without any spill overs. Also need to wrap them with those big brown packing tapes that it does not open again. (Mom said, Keep them some where safe so that you can see it one day). I smiled away. We don have any spectacular clash of titans in the Premier League fixtures. But still it would be an exicting boxing day, since never under estimate Stroke City. Its half time now, I'm happy for reds performance and we are 7 points behind them. Promising year ahead.

Once again Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year.

I'm coming mee :)

Life is moving on.. This year again I will be in Coimbatore. Sorry guys! I miss you! also know how much you would miss me, for all those eggs and those just bake cake.. Whats the deal, You are soo good people! But yeah, I badly wanted to go home. I had been missing her smile and warmth. She also misses me double.. He has been the best for ever.. Also dicussing those small titbits with him that I had known months back is also interesting.. My taste buds are almost in the graveyard with those maggi noodles and fruit bowl.. Its time to give them some life.. I din want to disappoint them.. Paati started making her muruku today.. Amma is all exicted about the menu that she wanted to cook.. Dad as usual would have saved the internet usuage of the month for me.. they are all set for a blast..

Grany

At 68 she blew her first Birthday candle. Wow! I remember Dec 6th for you.

Happy Birthday Santy

Happy Birthday Santy.. Wowwie what a beautiful day we had.. Well, if you don know about santy.. He is my beloved roomie in Bangalore for the last 2+ years. In fact did the graduation with me. Actually his parents call him Santosh. But he carries the legacy of santy's in M.Sc Software. Santy is a wonderful person to be with. I got to put this first, a heart throb among girls. :) Also carries the grace of music with him. Nice singer though! (We are even training him for the next super singer) Famous for his jumping hair style. One of best representatives that our class had. (Guess he would also agree that it was his golden period for him too) He has all the patience in the world when you pull his legs. But sill we remember when he chased near C-416 at hostel. Also a lead in our kitchen, famous for his mango sambar. Right now he looks like Subramaniyapuram hero. Yeah he does not gets time for that alone! One more is that he adores cleanliness and keeps things around him. Now that I have trying to keep up with him on this. :) Its fun with him always...

I'm still on the DBC cake hangover. It all started with a game of bowling, after a bad start in the first few throws managed to get around 130. Had a nice dinner and meet some my close buddies. As usual he did not wait for the song to get over to blow the candles. Fun started after applying pastry and gave his an egging bath. The videos have come good! Early morning "Raji" made a surprising (planned) visit home. She woke up santy splashing a glass of water. It was another round of egging by Raji and kiran. It was one of the most funniest video ever recorded, I just laughed out with the style Raji broke those eggs! Girls are expert in breaking them in the kitchen only. It was a record number of times he took bath in 24 hours. Then finally with a nice dinner at Terrace Nation. (we are addicted to that place now-a-days) Also hoping he will now listen to all his favourite numbers. [Pic from left: Me, Santy (nice shirt!) and Peeps age 22]

Well, wishing all the best for him though tout his life. He knows, "What ever happens, life has to move on". Also hoping to see you at Berkeley and searching for a roomie with that guitar! 

Happy Birthday Scorpio's & Sagittarius

The list is long, personal and special. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday in Advance. :)

Happy Birthday 'ScribblinG'

Its a long journey... 3 long years, 12000+ hits, 155 posts, 424 comments, 22 drafts and 1 author. Yeah, my blog is three years old. September 16th 2005 marked the beginning of this journey. This has become my love for now.

Thank you all for stopping by, taking time, laughing, cribbing and your comments. I love you readers too.

P.S: If you see me today, don forget to collect those chocolates.

Happy Birthday Dad

Wishing you many more Happy returns of the day Dad (Aug -16th). He is one of the kindest and dearest person whom you can come across in life. :-) Carrying a smile always with him. Wishing you all the happiness in this world and wonderful time in the years to come. My learning's from my Dad are immense.

[Vintage photograph of me and Dad. Thanks to one of his frnds who sweetly put a nice back ground for this pic :)]

First thing that strikes me when I think about writing my Dad is his simplicity. Despite of all my valiant efforts to make him wear a jean, He will finally end up picking a light & dark formal. You can find him with the same pose of unfolded shirt, tucked out with his glasses. Secondly, I derived all my inquisitiveness towards Computer Science from my Dad. He did write his programs in BASIC and Foxpro in a 386 machine. Its hard to beat him in at Computers. I used to play "Prince of Persia" in the 386 box we had. On an other usual day from school I came and switched on and launched the game. C:\games\prince\prince megahit (yeah - megahit was the cheat code :)). Suddenly the screen went blank and it typed on the screen. "Do not play and waste time! Go and study!" I was crashed, confused and wondering how on earth would this computer know that I had my exams. Only later my dad confessed that he wrote this program to type in the screen and replaced it by the prince.exe file.

He always loved teaching. Whether its English grammar for my tenant's kid or some computer lessons for the students in his office. He does things with at most involvement. If I had remember he even published a book on English Grammar along with his old teacher. Its always a believed nostalgia that a boy in their home will always get his mom's support. But, here its both - when mom's got to make the decision I would get Dad's support and other way round too.

Meee

She carried me!
She fed me!
She choose my first Birthday dress!
She tied my shoe lace every morning!
She scolded me when I was naughty!
She smiled and made me smile when I cried!
She fought for me when I got disturbed on my illness!
She happily posed with me when I grew above her shoulder!
She blessed me for a bright start!
She kissed me on my success!
She lends a shoulder when it matters most!
She guided me, on the right road!
She gave me character!
She took at most care that I don tarnish further!
She waits for me when I come back late!
She addicts me with some mouth watering food!
She even wrote my assignments!
She relentlessly comes out standing every single time, when I start off!
She is the one that I call everyday!
She holds the honor of longest ever friend I have!

Happy Birthday Meee (Mom)! Wondering if she is really growing old or still a kid! Love you!

Thank You

Thanks to all for your wishes!
Wishing you all a great year ahead.
