Drift in Maya (a.k.a maayandi :P)

What a nite it was July the 28th 2009. We went on a drift totally unplanned, was watching some movie probably browsing through the channels when the mood to drift struck. It was a beautiful nite and it was all hush-hush, none of our parents knew our absence. Its always nice to have a mate who talks, thinks in the same wavelength and takes you on a long drive too when you feel like going on one :-). 

It was all unsure after i called Anand for a drive and he said he would call back once he gets ready. It was about 15-20 mins and i was skeptical and there was a call from Anand to check my pulse for a drive, 'cos of burger boy he started barking after hearing him leave the house so he had to stay back to make sure his parents dont wake up. Having pets could be disadvantageous sometimes. But somehow he made it  after 30mins i was one happy man set to explore beautiful drizzling nite. You dont get that often esp in Chennai.

Went to airport had a nice hot coffee. Anand had sore throat we normally go for cold coffee, as a friendly gesture i had to give him company. Fortunately the coffee was too good and then we started our drift in a more energetic mood. Having no topics in mind we started with some arbit chatter. I had to quickly comeup with a good topic to deviate the discussion, i couldnt believe this guy was trying to explain me his family relationship link to his second cousin and he wouldnt leave me until i get the link rite. 

And i started explaining this idea of owning an house far away from our parents restrictions. We watch lot of movies, play Wii, discuss about life, business, movies kill a lot of time like that.  Having an hideout like that felt like freedom for me. He joined me and started explaining about visiting his Bangalore home during weekends. Sounds like a plan to me.

We were discussing about IT industry in general how it evolved without any discipline. The industry is just bloated with people not knowing what their responsibilities are and the consequences of their actions or words, used to be a creative, well-respected domain but turned out to be one confused crowd nowadays. 

We used to pay 10Rs toll for the highway we take, its increased now to 30Rs. Unwilling to spend 30 Rs for using the highway for which we pay road tax too we took a detour in a gap made by local people in that area in the pavement landed in some place named Kovur. On the overall it was a exciting nite slight drizzle, hot coffee , problems to talk about, a new road, 30Rs in savings, came home safely and my parents were still asleep. Just couldnt ask for more.

Something Nothing

It takes a lot to blog these days...if i have something to share am too lazy to write it...when i have my system setup & logged in blogspot nothing strikes my mind. 

Something is better than Nothing :). 

Watched Modhi Vilayadu yesterday the twist after the interval took Anand & myself by surprise, we had anticipated two diff versions of the how the story will move forward and the director proved us both wrong. It was interesting to think what will happen if something like that happen in real life. First half of the movie was fun watching esp because of the gorgeous Kaajal, couple of cinematic twist after the interval and an usual kollywood ending. It was worth watching.

Missed my schedule to see Luck today. It was raining and i was sleepy so slept for a while. Awake now feeling lot fresh dont know what to do. Just called up Anand we are planning to drift. No topics to discuss its 11:47 On July 27 2009. But the feel of long drive in the midst of the nite after the rain. You got to experience it.

Let me see if i can blog my experience after the drift.
