Yet another memorable day…

Today has overall been a pleasant day for me… got up early morning at 3.30am. Did little of padips drama to keep my mom happy. Then felt very boring so came online and was surprised to see a conf on at early hours. Prasan, k7, mithil were online. So had a small chat with them. Then came cheeni and evil B online. Had another session with them. Then SS turned up, was talking to him for a while and by the time I finished my chatting session got late for the class. Hurriedly I rushed for the class to return back home happily driving as the class was cancelled.

Then again started the second chat session with Sun and Aks. Was talking with them for a while and by the time I saw the watch it was already 10.00am. Then was cheering up the stud boss Mr.Vasanthy ;) .. he was feeling low today don’t know why :( . Deeps also came online at that time. Had to ice vechufy for him to make him come for the meet. We were missing him badly during the meets. He had missed few of the meets and we were missing a professional photographer. Then came online Sudh, Parth and Mithil .. So decided on an evening meet plan. Finalized the plan to meet at Abirami mall. It’s almost 3 weeks now since I wanted to visit that snow house inside the mall. Finally the day has come :D

The afternoon conf was very interesting, as Ram turned up online out of blue.. it has been very looooooooong since I had a chat with him. So was talking to him for a while. Then it was time for me get ready for the meet. Suddenly when I opened the window.. I was surprised and disappointed to see that it was raining.. Would my evening plan flop due to this rain? Then called up smite to check if everything was fine.

Luckily everything was fine and the meet was confirmed. Went to Abirami mall sharp at 5.30pm to find that no one has yet started from their home. I was badly pissed off. Then called Smriti with all anger and rage. But they said they were on the way and it was the nonsense parth who was trying to tease me.

Met one of my colleagues with her husband in the mall. It was their second wedding anniversary and they had come there for “Priyasakhi” show. Had a cup of hot chai with them and was waiting for the other juntas to join. Like a samathu pulla sudh came at around 6.00pm. Paavam sudh had sacrificed his sleep and had come for the meet jus because I requested him. J so nice of him. I ordered a plate of hot vada and ate. Offered vada to sudh but thank god he didn’t accept the offer ;)

Slowly at 6.20pm others too joined. Very punctual jus late by an hour. Then me and mithil went to book the tickets for the most expected and thrilling snow house. It was pretty costly 100 bucks for jus 20 minutes inside the house. It was not even a room K to our disappointments. I was really excited and thrilled to get into the house. I was troubling smriti and mithil with my bubbling enthu and my comments. Then we were given our boots, jerkins and gloves. With all precautions we got into the over hyped snow house to find to our disappointment that it was jus dry ice in very low temperatures. (Though it was a slight disappointment, I enjoyed to the max and was feeling very very happy). Twenty minutes sped away and we were out. Got little scolding from others for having given much hype for a small dry ice room and for a wrong choice of place, which was something like a "thiruvizha".

To compensate my mistake I offered to take them out for dinner at “Dasaprakash” a very old and popular hotel in Egmore. Sudh was first little upset with the antique looks of the place but when we went to the dining hall he was feeling better. We had light dinner, while deeps alone helped himself with a second serving :P Sudh was happier now and was experimenting with deeps digicam. Finished our dinner with an excellent dessert and reached back home wet having got drenched in the rain.

Had a hot shower and now waiting for my sick net connection to login me to post this blog :D. Feeling little tired and sleepy :)

jus like that

Its long since i updated my blog. Had been little preoccupied with my work, class and other things. Time is speeding away like anything that all my personal schedules are pending and i have hell a lot of work to be completed before this month end.

Though the work at ofis was tiring and nothing happening in the way i want them too..few good news kept me going all these days. Got the results of my exams, which i had given a few days back..cleared my post graduation with decent marks by Gods grace.

The friendship day was another good day .. i luv my friends and respect friendship a lot. Iam lucky to have a very good set of friends. They have always been a source of inspiration for me. Though friendship neednt be expressed only on this particular friendship day, it is one more occassion when u can express urself to ur friends and tell them how much they mean to us.

But whats is more disappointing is that, many of my dear one have become very busy these days and am missing all the conf chats. I dont understand if i had done any mistake.. but suddenly feel like people are avoiding me.. whatever be the case, knowingly or unknowingly had i committed any mistake, lemme take this as an oppurtunity to seek apologies to each one of them. :)

Oops am getting late for my class... now i need to pack up things and run...hoping for days when iam back to my vettiness!

Divine drive

The weekend was very excellent. Saturday, I wanted to go to Shollingur, but unfortunately due to some reasons Smriti couldn’t come to shollingur, so we decided to go to Kancheepuram.

We started off at 4.00pm from Smritis home. Her parents and my mom too accompanied us. We had an excellent long drive. It was 5.30pm when we reached Sri Varadharaajar perumal kovil. We nanachufied our kaal in the kovil kolam and went to the Sudharshana alwar temple first which was adjacent to the tank. It was the first time I was visiting this sannidhi though I had been to this temples many times earlier.

Then we went to the main Sannidhi. The darshan was excellent. Little rush was there in the temple as it was a weekend and some tourists had come from north. Due to Aadi maasam and there was grand celebrations in Andal Sannidhi. Then myself and Smriti alone went to have a holy touch of the Golden (so called) and silver lizard. Interestingly Smriti’s amma pointed out that Kancheepuram Varadharajar temple was a Vadagalai perumal ;)

Then we started for the next temple. We went to the Ulagalanda Perumal kovil. But as it was time for Thadiyaradhanai and the archagar there told it will take another 15minutes we decided to go to the famous Kaamatchi Amman temple.

In Kaamatchi Amman kovil we got blessing from the kovil yaanai (elephants). Then went inside and had a wonderful dharshan. It was very nice, as Amman had been decorated with Sandhana kaapu, which was considered very auspicious.

From there again we went to Ulagalanda perumal kovil. I big doubt crept into my mind. I was confused if Maha Bali Chakravarthi was an Iyengar as the Naamam was saathified for him. Smriti pointed out that it is a Thengalai kovil :P. There were total of 5 divya desam inside that one temple. The famous one was "Ooragathan" a five-headed serpent.

After having had a very nice darshan in all the temples. We decided to feed the perumal inside us. :D So went to Hotel Saravana Bhavan and had our dinner. Then started back home at 8.30pm.

Reached Smriti’s home at 10.00pm and me and my mom drove back home. Unfortunately I forgot my mobile at Smritis house. Which luckily led to another meet on Sunday :D

P.S. Will update the Sannidhis name once i get the proper list of them. Forgot the exact names of them. Also the elephants name in Kaamatchi ammans kovil.

The other two sannidhi's in Ulagalandhan perumal kovil are : Karvanan,Thiru Neeragam perumal and Thirukaaragam perumal

Varadharajar kovil --> Devaraja perumal & Perumdevi thayar
Kaamatchi amman kovil --> Nila Thingal thundathan perumal & Neruruvilla valli thayar
Ulagalandha perumal kovil --> Thiruvikraman & Amruthavalli thayar
Thirukaaragam --> Karunakara perumal & Padmamani naatchiyaar
Thirukaarvaanam --> Kalvar & kamalavalli thayar
Thiruneeragam --> Jagadheeswara perumal & Nilamangaivalli

The Kaamatchi amman kovil yanai per is "Jayanthi"
