Sunnyvale Summit

Caught up with KK at the Mariott Sunnyvale after almost 2 yrs.The Sangamam plan( we call meetings by this name) at Saravana Bhavan turned out to be a reality.

Met a stud Rajan and reserved Mabban there.It was good fun having the traditional 'Manga' for 2 full days.The lunch at Madhu's place topped with Chardonnay was worth the 2 hr drive from Sacramento.

The next 2 months will be good fun ..hope to make up for the 2 months of solitude in Seattle ,July and August 2005 were like hell

The mind tells me I haven't found what I am looking for... Discovered Chris Martin and Cold play :-) Yaay! Feels like the real life starts after 40. The optimism and adventure of younger days  have given way to accepting life's realities
