Lage Raho Chappel Bhai

I don't know whether to laugh or cry right now. We have been complaining about these group matches being predictable, well, I definitely got a surprise today. India, an experienced team, with record breaking players, beaten by....a bunch of kids. None of our players lived up to out expectations, apart from Sehwag. The only reason he did was because I never had any expectations from him to begin with!

Much to my despair, there seemed to have been a little trend in our innings - a wicket, then runs would trickle in, a wicket, then runs would trickle in, a wicket....where were the much needed partnerships? Only Ganguly, with his agonisingly slow 66 and Yuvraj with his cracking innings, managed to loosen the noose around our necks.A strong batting order ended up being a poor and pathetic list of victims for the Bangladeshi youngsters. Mortaza bowled Sehwag and trapped Uthappa. Razzak was like the cat that got the cream when he picked up Sachin in the 15th over.

What did they have? A 17 year old. What did we have? Sachin, a man with 17 years experience. The average age of the Bangladeshi players is equal to the number of centuries some of our team have! So where did it all go wrong?

Happy days at India

Had a wonderful stay at India with my family and relatives. It is always nice to meet people who raised you up and who are your well wishers,ever. The best of all is my Mother, Sister, Brother and Rajesh, one of my close friend. Very popular among our friends circle as "Puli Pee" Rajesh, probably he was wearing a tiger claw pendant. But when i met him this time, i found that it was missing.


That is Tejas & Neeraj with my mother at Tirupattur. She is very strict and straight to face. Probably that is why she suits better with her Headmistress ina Junior College profile! But believe me she really likes to move with kids. Had gone through a very rough patch in her life. Hopefully things would change when she would accompany us, here in singapore, soon - early july 2007!


That is Navalan, my co-brother with Kabilesh, Tejas and Sneha at Bangalore. Very supportive and has got a very good and balanced family.


That is Shanmuga and family together with Senu at Tirupattur. He is my immediate senior at Don Bosco but you wont get it by the way he mingles. Very supportive and encourages new ideas. He is into his private business and equally exploring newer heights.


That is Rajesh and my family at Hosur. Rajesh, Myself and six other friends used to stay in a private hostel during our B.Tech days at Annamalai Univeristy. Very cheerful and easy going guy.


That is Bharathi and Family at Chennai. Bharathi used to work with me back in singapore. A good friend with high ambitions. He is currently running a multimedia training centre at AnnaNagar, supported by his wife.

Back to Home - a short trip to India

Tejas and Neeraj at Changi Terminal, Singapore

We are on a short trip to india from 28th onwards. Had a wonderful journey and are now staying in Bangalore. One would normally expect that Bangalore is a very cozy place and has got an excellent climate to relax. But i was totally shocked after landing at Bangalore. The climate was soo hot that it reminded me of chennai. Pollution and heavy traffic has become a part of life in Bangalore! Indeed of all these, i am happy that i am in india, my mother land!!!

At relatives house in Bangalore, India.

Time to say goodbye and move on

Thatz a wonderful team from School of Chemical & Life Sciences(Chemical) at Nanyang. (From left in the picture) Mr.Wong Poh Seng(Mgr-Pharmaceutical section), Myself, Mr.Yow Kum Pang(DD-SCL/C), Mr.Kevin Michael Roberts(Asst Mgr-Pharmaceutical Section), Ms.Kallen Chong, Mr.Christof Luda, Ms.Diong, Ms.Adeline Ler, Mr.E Cherng Ming and Ms.Lim Sze Ern

Having lectured for nearly 1.5yrs, i thought its time to continue my journey. I have tendered my resignation at Nanyang Polytechnic and would be soon joining Yokogawa Engineering Asia Pte Ltd, Singapore as Research Executive Engineer. Will be attached with the R&D section and leading a team to identify areas for improvement interms of process controls in a chemical process plant. Implementing MPC over APC. Sounds more challenging and promising and hence decided to leave Nanyang.

C'mon letz start it over again - but better this time!

What a way to end the year 2006 ! I am referring to the end of Saddam's saga!! OK.. i am not challenging the verdict, yes he deserves it, but isnt't a justice given in a haste! Myself and my wife were greatly moved watching the last video clips of Saddam. Poor guy, he couldnt believe himself in the gallows and before he could realise... he's gone. We could'nt control ourselves watching Saddam being placed in a noose and later his white-shrouded body. It is just another good example of someone accomplishing his own personal vegenance in the name of "war against terrorism". My question is that, "Is this the same way the Americans deliver Justice to everyone in thier home land if found guilty? If this is true, what they have done to Warren Anderson, Union Carbide's CEO at the time of the Bhopal disaster (2nd Dec, 1984, responsible for the death of thousands of innocent indians !"....and a lot more examples to list here. Kindly read the full story of this criminal and how he led his life later after this incident at http://www.bhopal.org/whathappened.html. It may not be a surprise if the dirty white's withdraw the troops anytime from now, for thier true mission has been accomplished!!

What we could learn from here is that....NO MATTER HOW GREATER POWERS YOU HOLD IN LIFE, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE STILL A HUMAN AND NOT THE ALMIGHTY ! DONT EVER EVEN PRETEND TO BE A ONE 'COS YOU PROVE YOU ARE STUPID....

Wish and Pray that this new year, 2007, would bring happiness and prosperity across the globe that would wash away the sad memories of 2006.

Let's try to start over again....its high time to revise your elementary moral science, thirukkural, aathichudi.....PLEASE
