I'm planning my April's quota on 12,13 .... lets see... and with "oru kaadhal vandhucho" (yeh ni romba azhaga irukka) song ringing in my earphones and slowly fading out to give way for the next song "engirundhu vandhaayada" (5 star)....

Saturday: Nothing seemed to work out my way. I was on leave. Home was a noisy and busy place that day with lots of relatives. Waited till evening to get away from there. I thought that the evening would have been much better as my schedule had been booked. Nothing went right. had been waiting for the singing classes with a couple of friends for more than an hour from 5 pm. Noone else turned up. After a call to my friends, I learnt that the singing practice had been cancelled, but the choir practice was to be held at 7 pm. After a cup of coffee and went to my friends' home. As she was going to a prayer meeting being held all night, she said she would not be able to make it to the choir practice. Somehow managed to get to the church (Church of Resurrrection) on time. Same old story. "if you can wait and not be tired by waiting.." Except a few, nobody turned up. Myself and a couple of others have a practice of going to a church (Our Lady of Fatima) every Saturday and have some fast foods out every week. As usual went to the church. Actually, the main reason I took leave onn Saturday was to attend the all night prayer meeting at this church. Our choir was supposed to sing there. Almost all the English choirs of various churches were invited. But due to some last minute reasons, we were unable to sing. So we decided to participate there. Only myself and my friend decided to go to the church for the all night prayer. It wasn't meant to be so. I called him saying that I was ready to go. He said thaat he was feeling sleepy. So the day ended with a dissapointment. As I didn't feel sleepy, I decided to write a story. I wanted to dedicate this story for my friend. It is a birthday present to her. If anyone wants to read it, Send me a mail. I'll send it to you by mail. Sunday: Everything as expected. Got up late. Hurrried to get ready for Church. Made it on time. had a short practice as yesterday's practice got postponed. This week, our singing had improved a lot. last week it was a total mishap. informed everyone about the evening practice. By 3 pm, I realized I didn't have breakfast and lunch. Rushed home. had a hearty lunch. Played "Age of Empires" and "Age of Mythology". The computer opponent didn't put up much of a fight. So I won easily. Evening, had a singing practice. After that, we had a great discussion about education. Went back home after checking mails at 9 pm. No mails from anyone. Spent about 20 minutes deleting junk mails from my various mail ids. Spent another 20 minutes waiting for my friend to finish browsing. Went back home. Expecting your weekend stories, Jax.

Hi everyone,
I came across this website today while browsing. It is a very cool site. A very likely scenario that the world would be facing in the aftermath of Gulf War II has been beautifully potrayed as a Flash Game. Check it out!!
Keep blogging, Jax. /credo, scio, durabo/

Hi,
Spent the last two mornings replying to mails from the group. It was a cumbersome and tedious process. Went home very late last night. Was not doing nothing much in particular at office yesterday. As a result, came in late today morning... Ranjini had asked mailed me something about my previous entry. This is for her.

Hi, My weekend was almost the same as RamG. Not a surprise... as I spent half of it with him. I've been given some designing work... I mean... design of a component. Just a high-level design. But I'm struggling for that itself. Coding, I can manage. But designing... its pretty tough work. But my PL is insisting on me thinking it out... In fact, I got more work... I need to prepare for a presentation on BizTalk' s response time that I was measuring over the past few weeks. Yet to get that started. And still some measuring needs to continue after we port everything to a 2 CPU server. That might take time. But as of now I'm doing some multi-tasking b'n ppt and designing... boy... this designing stuff is taking the heck out of me... Kicha

Hi, On World Cup... So... Its all over... But not really... things r just beginning to build up... There r quite a few positive things that the Indian team can take forward after the world cup... 1. We were 202/5 after 34 overs. Scoring 200+ in 34 ov is not an easy task against an Aussie bowling attack. This goes to show our batting strength. But, the only trouble was all the bowlers had an off-day on the same day. 2. Dravid did decent job behind wickets all this time. From now on, they can look forward to grooming Parthiv Patel. He's an ecxcellent keeper and a fair batsman and above all he's only 16 !!! 3. Bangar was used as a frontline bowler when we went to WI and as a lower order one-day batsman when they came here. Right prospects to get a genuine all-rounder in the side which will effectively make India go with 5 bowlers. 4. With Parthiv in, as a specialist keeper, India might shuffle between Bangar, Agarkar and Dinesh Mongia depending on form and fitness of players. Srinath and Kumble are ageing and r already almost over-the-hill. 5. With Sehwag showing some weakness with the moving ball I feel they might well be back to Sachin-Sourav opening combination and Sehwag might come in the middle/late order to take care of slog overs. 6. Yuvraj and Kaif might also be retained for test matches. As these two have got excellent temperament and so could be quite a handful in the tests as they gain some experience. So, after all, nothing is lost.

In an article in TOI, Mr A C Muthiah, president of Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said : "The aftermath of the war will give great opportunity for Indian engineering companies. We should be prepared to use Dubai as an entry point for steel and construction companies to supply construction material, he told reporters on the sidelines of the conference. We should chose Dubai as a warehouse and move the goods. The opportunity in the aftermath of war is fantastic," he said. Businesses are so SICK that they relish in attacking another country and destroying it - so that they can look forward to "rebuilding it and making great profits" !!! Man thats cool - someday some country could decide to bomb India - so that the business in that country (and their allied countries) can also make "profits".... Disturbing.... Kicha
