2 hrs before take off...

Landed in Denver, Colarado yesterday evening. It's been raining all of yesterday and today morning looked nice and sunny. I had planned to do some outdoor running during this trip. So first thing this morning I woke up at 4.30 a.m got a cuppa black coffee and changed into running gear. It was quite chilly outside and the I stepped out into the empty pavement outsde the Mariott tech centre. I took my first leap and my leg slipped , twisting my ankle damnn!!! Can you believe how things can go sour when all looks rosy :-( . Neways the lump is not too bad , and I am busy doing ice pack and resting the left ankle now. Hopefully i should be able to run after a week

I have been down with a viral attack this week. Saturday didn't have anything interesting to offer.A routine visit to the doc, some very tasty glaxo pills to chew and tons of bread to eat were some of the things lined up. Naturally I was sulking and looked out of the balcony in hope. Pushpavanam colony ( read as: Garden/Forest of flowers) , is the name of our neighbourhood in Chennai. BTW, I am yet to spot any of those flowers in the last 6 months :-) .The colony is a narrow by-lane with some 20 odd families living on both sides. Today morning the by lane turned into a cricket field with some interesting talent. Here is a profile of the players involved: 1. Kid1 - 12 yrs old , right hand bat and bowl,big hitter 2, Kid2: 10 yrs old - quite thin, right hand bat ,wristy stroke maker 3. Man : 35 yrs old - Left hand bat and chinaman , needless to say big hitter,dressed in banyan and nice Zari veshti/dhoti The match was action packed. Kid2 started the proceedings when i reached the balco...

Our rented place in Alwarpet is quite nice. I have most of things that I love at stone thowing distance. The music sabhas, coffee world , gym et.al . The Fitness one centre near my house draws a lot of celebrities . It is nice to see Sanjay subramanyam and Sudha raghunathan frequent the health club.I guess it does not hurt to keep those lungs healthy if you are a Carnatic vocalist. The wedding was a pretty fun affair especially the cocktails arranged by Missus' folks. Some of my close high school friends and grad school colleagues attended the function to make it memorable. The coimbatore reception was well attended too.My high school principal, hindi teacher, neighbours from chidhoood were there to wish us. That's when it struck me that a well attended wedding is like a potrait that stays in your memory forever. Missus has been having a hectic time at work. Even my workload has gone up quite a bit after the wedding. I have started driving regularly in Chennai. Needless to stay...
