Was going through some beautiful pictures today in CatchyColours, Awesome Pictures and some on the Net. Couldn’t resist posting atleast 2 of’em.

To get a house at that hill top should be one of the awesomest things in the world.

Oh man… this is a very bad news. I checked in Naveen’s blog that Gilmour said that going back into the Band is not something that He’ll be happy about. Man… this is bad. I always wanted Pink Floyd reunion at least once more. Appears like it will never happen. I wish I was born in 70’s. Damn…

Hello there guys, this weekend, we went to Bannergatta National park safari. A true Grand safari!

We got to see the Deers, Tigers, Lions, Himalayan Bears, Crocs, snakes and Wild buffaloes. Man that was awesome. I’ll upload the pics a lil later. But here is a sample of how close we were to the Tigers. I should say… tripping on animals as well is good.

For a long time now, you all know that I live at the 404. Now, we all are moving away. Arun got married and left the house last year. Mahesh moved to live with his parents. Ram Kumar got married and moved away this year. Madhu settled in Chennai only becoming a rare visitor. That left only Anwin, Naveen, Anoop and me.

And another person who is in Chennai and when ever we accidentally call when we were tripping and claims that he is at the Bangalore airport and wouldn’t mind getting picked! By that I mean
leaving the booked flight and taking the one next morning - The Liver Slayer. We also call him Renie.

Too many memories in that house I should say. I’m just listing 5 of the best trips we had there at 404 in no particular order.

1) We played a drinking game long ago when Arun, Madhu and everyone was with us. And turned out that Sanjeeb was the one getting totally drunk. Turns to Anwin and Arun and tells “Anwin, Arun, you both are not wearing T-Shirts…. you are Gay!!!!”

2) Yet another day… there goes a bet. Arun Challenged me if I can drink as much as he can. You know What I would have said… I accepted it and we both finished little more than 1 full Old monk. Then what happened? I puked for the 1st time in my life because of over booze. I threw up like at least 6 or 7 times. I don’t remember anything after that.

3) Home made videos - As usual Renie was here and we all decided to watch a movie. We watched the Ghost Rider. Came home and wondering about what we can do next. Renie comes up with the idea of making a home made movie. Cut. Next scene, we are making a movie. Anoop, Renie, Anwin, Naveen and I were making the movie. Just for the record, Renie was a prostitute. hehehe… That movie never was released. Renie its still pending…

4) The Iron maiden night - This was another awesome party. Invited many people home and bought like about 4 Full old monks and vodkas and a 10 meter manner. We painted a 10 meter banner and 2 small banners for the Maiden’s Matter of life and death concert. That was one hell of a night.

5) The Ring road ride - Yet again, Renie was here on his car. We were already drunk before renie came in and planned to go for a ride in the ring road after we were already half stoned. Still we go and get 2 Monks and some coke and start the ride. After about 3 hours we were at the same place where we started. But trust me that was one awesome trip.

So many of these trips and not to forget the number of Circles we would have had on the terrace, Kitchen and Living room. And the circle still continues…

Hope all of this will still continue in the new place that we are going and keep us insane… or… I’d say Psyched for some more time.

Here is another Bharathi’s Poem. I love this song for its meaning… Got the right words for the meaning from couple of other sites…

Here goes the poem with the meaning…

Ninnai charanadainthen, kannamma
ninnai charanadainthen
{I surrender to thee, Kannamma
I surrender to thee}

Ponnai, Uyarvai, Pugalai virumbidum
ennai kavalaigal thinna thagathena..
{Gold, status, fame wished for
by me, the grief that engulfs because of these wishes, I cant stand grief, so …

I cant stand the grief that comes with my materialistic wishes, so …}

Ninnai charanadainthen, kannamma
ninnai charanadainthen
{I surrender to thee, Kannamma
I surrender to thee}

midimaiyum achamum mevi en nenjil
kudimai pugunthana, kondr(u)avai pokkena
{Cowardice and fear spread in my heart and
make it their home. To let these perish.. }

Ninnai charanadainthen, kannamma
ninnai charanadainthen
{I surrender to thee, Kannamma
I surrender to thee}

Thunbam ini illai, sorvillai
sorvillai, thorpillai
{There will be no more sorrows, no tiredness
No despair and no defeats}

anbu neriyil arangal valarththida
nallavai nattida, theeyavai Ottida
{In order to encourage virtue through the path of love
In order to let goodness prevail and in order to drive away the evil}

Ninnai charanadainthen, kannamma
ninnai charanadainthen
{I surrender to thee, Kannamma
I surrender to thee}
