Frozen moments

Its like going back to my early years. I always wanted to get out of my routine and try doing something other than the so called "work". But last few weeks has been truly an experience to get into blogging and sharing photos.
Yes, I started sharing my old and new photos thru flickr -> http://www.flickr.com/photos/yesjeeyes . Oh wow .. so many frozen moments. we definitely cannot go back to that same instance. Some of them truly wonderful and amazing. What was also more fun is the kind of thirsty people, who are looking for not only producing great photographs, but also appreciate other's work on photography as well .. cool !!
Hope to add some value there as well and produce some good photos ;)

Water war ????

Cauvery verdict was out and Bangalore has almost become quiet.. I know major part of the crowd is hiding in their house, leaving the most of Bangalore traffic missing somewhere and surprised those who were on roads.. I don’t know if this is just a matter of time to erase it from memory or it’s a volcano waiting to burst anytime. So far things are good and the tension of 1991 riots against Tamils in Karnataka was definitely felt yesterday, though no incidents to my knowledge, but cooling down today.

Karnataka CM Kumarasamy has called for an all party meeting tomorrow and the reactions after that from the political parties could trigger some of the political forces to react badly.

So far no transportation between Tamilnadu and Karnataka. All Tamil TV channels are blacked out and there is a Karnataka bandh called on feb 8th by some kannada movement.

IBN & Times now - TV channels updates the happenings in Karnataka and Times now in particular is just waiting for something wrong to happen!! Media sucks ! Yes, yesterday when the verdict was out. They called CM (live) on phone and asked him what’s his reaction, inspite of he mentioning that he has to discuss with other leaders and the technical folks (he makes a lot of sense to me) before reacting, this lady from the TV channel was all behind him and trying to pull words out. She was asking "Are you disappointed?" .. Why should she ask that question and they were the first to report this as a victory for TN & defeat for KN. Who are they to decide?

And I don’t understand why they have stopped all Tamil channels!! I'm not sure, how that helps. But if by stopping Tamil channels could help them settle down than
violence against Tamils, I'm ready to sacrifice my TV time!


I remember watching Vijay TV's "Kalakka Povadhu champions" program, where they made a skit on water problems in year 2050. Seriously the water war is here already !!!

My first blog .......

This is my first ever blog. Not sure how to start, but I'm sure I want to continue this. I was not a great reader, though I listen a lot. I'm sort of changing myself as a good reader - thanks to the blogs I came across. I love browsing and googling which took me to many blogs on various topics from different people.

Being part of the IT industry I do know about the blogs during its initial stages, but I was not really impressed. My cousin use to blog and he use to send me the links a few years back.

Recently I started reading the blogs at chennai.metblogs.com and it made me a good reader, thanks to the authors .. being a fan of Chennai I cannot stop myself searching for my lost memories of the place, which I love the most on this earth. At present I'm here in Bangalore, but I know someday I would go back.

I also like making friends and I already have a huge list of friends from my college, neighborhood and workplace. I hope I would meet some like minded people here as well.

I don't know, if I would also add some posts here and others. Lets see !!!
