Senthil’s Engagement (27-05-2010)

Last week, me , Daniel, Abdul, Prabhu , Thara and Ajay all are went to Senthil’s Engagement which is happened in Vadapalani. Sethill is one of my ex- colleague worked in EDS. He is one of the talented person and always has the full energy and enthusiasm. In my early days with EDS he is one of the closest person but later I didn’t have much interaction with him because of his attitude but I always believe he is such a talented guy with great knowledge. Recently, he had quit from EDS and joined in another company after that now only I got the chance to meet him. My best wishes and congratulation for his engagement.

Solingar Temple Visit (23-05-2010)

This is the 4th time me and friends were going for Solingar Temple. As soon as I came from kanchipuram next day my friends were planned to go for solingar temple. They asked me to join with them, though I was tired have accepted to go with them. Along with me Senthil, Sasi, Dharani, Sekar , Shankar and some junior guys have came . As usual we boarded train from central and reached solingar temple at around 11:30 PM and started to climb the temple. When I had reached the ”Narasimmar temple “ it was around 12:30 pm there we spent a time to have Prasadam then we came back and had a photo session for ourselves. After that, we started to climb “Anjaneyar Temple” and spent a time for a while and started to board the train at around 6:00 o Clock.
Dispute with Dharani
*****************
When we were in the train me and Senthil have bought manual juice mixer. Senthil kept his juice mixer with him and I gave mine to Sekar to keep for a while. That time, Dharani was sleeping so he didn’t know about purchasing. After a while, Dharani got up and saw the juice mixer pack from sekar and he opened the Juice mixer pack without asking the permission. Then, I asked Dharani “why you opened the pack “ then he angrily replied , this is not yours to ask, it belongs to sekar , so let him ask the question I will answer. Then, I told it is belongs to mine but still if you would have thought it belongs to sekar you should have got the permission him to open. Then didn’t agree me and started to argue with me. Meanwhile, Sasi and others have involved in the dispute and started to advice him. The argument went for at least 1 hour. Finally, he didn’t take anyone’s word but at least we had great fun by making him angry 
