Chennai Weekend...

Well, Thanks to TCS, my friend and quiz partner Chaitanya, and a lot of other associates, I had the luck of travellin to chennai, fully sponsored by my company...well..to attend the regional finals of a tcs wide quiz;) that the quiz turned out to be a not so great event is another story...;) but flyin to chn and back is worth a mention....yours "fool"ly has travelled by air on only 2 other occasions...so LAGEY RAHO;) i said to myself...
Comin to the chn trip...it was not a great trip and all;) but VOKEY...and most importantly...I had the privilege of listenin to a gr8 mimicry session by RR...the next Balamurali Krishna or even more...Absolute senseless stuff..but who cares...fun is at a premium these days...
Two sessions of cricket are worth a cursory mention....my batting is not as bad as i thot it was....
and my left arm spin is surprisingly DECENT;) i managed to pitch the ball most times and thats an achievement;)
Black the movie was also part of the two day package and so was a 4 hr chat session discussin somethin that has no solution;) some people see no problem to find a solution...but one's eye sees a problem where another sees opportunities...so lets keep things complex and leave it at that....
Finally my frnd from hyd came home and we proceeded to fly back to andhra pradhesam...in the flight I met one GOOD OLD man with classical views on Globalization and merger of nationalized banks,....it was at the end of a 30 min conversation that bordered between enlightening and fascinating that I found out thro' his visiting card and a brochure that he casually gave me that...He was the Gen Secretary of the All India BankEmployees Association..Mr Venkatachalam..or CHV...Big man, great knowledge,....Humble nature..Well, humility is a commonality that links all great ppl aint it;)

Well, after an expensive auto journey I reached home in Hyd to sign off a not so great but not so non descript either weekend....
