Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright!
It's been almost two months since I joined Tiger-Tail. Time's flown.
I'm having a really good time here. Working with a great bunch of guys, really smart and funny too, which makes for a great work environment.
A few things have happened since I left TCS. Went on a biking-trekking tour, travelled through many of the hill stations and ghats around Pune. Lots of very beautiful places. Had a really nice time doing that.
And then I rode back to Hyd from Pune. Rode through the night, which was exciting and rather stupid at the same time.
Now I'm slowly getting into the working man's routine...except that I get to do weird things at work that most offices won't allow.
No updates on the personal/private/love life! I'm still the same old crazy, selfless, hungry, makes-no-effort-to-talk-to-new-people, slightly bored me.
I've realised, being in college gives you more things to write about. Whether it is more cribbing about how terrible the system is, or crazy jokes about people in college.
Need to get some stupid random humour posts in here soon. This place is looking way too sober!

Darn the comments limit
Ok, what started off as a comment to razors post has now bloated into this!
Now to answer what I'm doing.
me, well...
Got interested in tennis. but figured out it has too much sweat involved, so I now play on a table.
Started playing billiards, but the other day some girl told me "you are not supposed to whack the ball like that", so I guess I was playing some other variant , maybe its called freestyle pool.
Talking of pool, I went swimming the other day with my jeans pants. What happened in the pool, outside the pool, and in the car is left to your imagination.
Talking about other things, I am now in the ISA committee, so the current president of ISA asked me to write an email to the group on his behalf. ( a blatant mistake indeed )
The email is posted below:
Hi junta,
Its been almost 3 weeks since the new ISA committee took over, and for many it would seem - they haven't done any thing. But that is not true (well not entirely :P )
I am Krishna Chaitanya the current president of ISA . Many of you must have seen me (in 4 seasons or elsewhere(in which case I would be surprised)), some of you don't know me, a few of you know me, and a couple of you hate me (which is irrelevant). But I am writing this mail today to introduce myself and my committee, and to share with you a few things that we as a committee have planned.
Firstly the Committee:
We have a big committee this time, 9 in total:
P - myself (it would be nice if someone else can complete this.( Someone great at flattery ))
VP - tosifa ( her mails can be compiled into a trilogy of 55 parts, whatever )
GS - ravi ( the guy with a built in statistical data analyzer module )
JS - niarnjan ( wrong spellings - the easiest way to irritate him :P)
T - deval ( contrary to the popular legend, this is a girl )
SS - srikanth ( check his pic on the ISA site :P )
CS - neha ( Not just, 1st 4 letters of the English alphabet )
PRO - nipun ( whatever :P )
WM - ravi ( F.U.N. (for further details contact me) )
Fine,
Now for the 2nd part of the mail
The past few weeks we have been discussing a list of things to implement.
We the ISA, are planning to organize a few events in the coming months and
we are trying our best to make ISA active once again. I will list a few few of those things here:
On june 28th we are organizing
Holi in Johnson field. FREE Colors (and snacks!!)
The future events that we are planning are:
->A Sports event,
->A cultural performance.
->freshers party/Desi night for new students.
ISA would greatly appreciate your suggestions on these
events.
Holi would be a big event and we will release the fliers very soon and send it to the list server.
It would be great if you can tell this to your desi and non-desi friends, and help us in making this a fun event!
One other change you would see is - the ISA website. By this month end we will have a new website, with lost of new features. We have a few other things planned, I will let you guys know about it once those things get finalized.
Well, thats all for now, you can read more about what we are planning at http://unm-isa.blogspot.com/ .
Thanks,
ISA President
So the email was sent, and now officially we are the most hated group, but the thing is everyone in this groups hates me, which makes me the most hated person on campus.
And yes, there was this bed bug epidemic, but it only seemed to occur on my bed. I had already kicked out 2 beds, but having figured out that this wasn't helping me financially, I switched to the couch. This was before someone reminded me of those sprays which come in nice bright coloured (fuck the americanized spell check) tin cans.
One thing lead to another and now we are trying nice expensive room fresheners.
Well thats all for now.
Hope you guys are having a better time!

Emmm..lemme see....
I seriously don't have any idea as to what the title of this post will be. Really nothing much has changed since I last posted here. Same office, same celebrations (we celebrate work), same stupid time pass work. Not going to stand this much longer. I am going to leave soon.
Oh yeah I completed 1 yr @ office ...so I am now officially an experienced guy lolzz.
Gave GRE in march and got a decent score of 1510. Giving a shot at CAT as well. Let's see what happens.........
Met Beasthu, Zaphod,Jingichiki,AJ,Ooru,Rocky few weeks back, We had lunch and I was obliged to come to Runway 9. :P Had a good time over there.
What else..What else...been doing some reading nowadays. From Paulo Coelho to Douglas Adams to Ruskin Bond. The most recent one happens to be a book called "The Sinking of INS Khukri" by Ian Cordozo. Ohh yeah read a book called "Who moved my cheese". I think its a booklet, it has only 40 odd pages, but the content was good. Not like your average self-help book.
That's it from my end for now. Would like to know what Hijake and Vizgoth are doing.

Our Kerala trip
Reached Hyderabad on the 15th of May. Met a few (Ajay, Varmamoo, Vanka, Harinath, Bombo, Moddhu, Ooru Pradeep to be precise) of our classmates before we (Me with family) left for Kerala. Was nice to see them after such a long time.
Kochi was the first place on our list. Reached there by air and stayed there for a night. Kochi is a nice place with a nice climate (somewhat hot, humid. I like such a climate unlike most). Kerala is a nice place in a lot of different ways. A lot of greenery spread through out the state, very hospitable people, no beggars (not even in front of temples!), etc. Visited a few places there like the Cochin shipyard etc.
The next morning we started for Munnar and reached there by afternoon. The journey was awesome with some breathtaking views enroute. The next 2 days we stayed at Munnar and visited places in and around Munnar. I did a great job of forgetting to charge the batteries in the digicam one day. So we couldnt take any pics the day when we visited the best place near Munnar - The Eravikulam National Park, the home of the extremely rare Nilgiri tahr, a type of goat. Its a terrific place. Must visit I would say. You get a view of the highest peak in South India - Anai Mudi, from this place. Theres a 3D, 2N trekking programme to the top of that peak. Would be a great one to do with friends I am sure.
After Munnar, we went to Thekkady, another supposedly good place to visit in Kerala. It has the Periyar Tiger Reserve and a few other places to visit. Theres a 2 hour boat ride in the Periyar lake which is in the middle of the jungle. You get to see some animals - elephants, tigers, deer, etc in the wild. We, unfortunately didnt see too much. Got to see some elephants from very far and nothing much worth noting.
We then went to Kumarakom where we took a house boat to Aleppuzha. Was a really cool experience sailing in the backwaters of Kerala for a full day including a stay on the boat for the night.
Overall, Kerala rox. Munnar super rox. Everything is very expensive at all these places though - food, water, you name it. Heavily commercialized, sadly.
Back at home now. Uploaded some pics too.

Met the super busy Josh boy yesterday. Had a really nice time.

A new page
In the book of life.
Been working at TCS for six months now. And that's six months too many.
Wrote my resignation letter last week. Hopefully I will be out of here by the end of the month.
Going to join a tiny start-up company in hyderabad called TigerTail Studios. I think it should really be fun working there except for the ride up and down. Hyd traffic is still a killer.
I'm planning to take a week or so off after TCS lets me go. To travel the ghats here. It isn't very hot here in pune, thankfully. So a bike ride in the western ghats should be a lot of fun.
Apart from this, things are pretty much same as ever.
Have hardly been playing Age these days. Playing some badminton.
And watching movies and southpark takes most of my free time.
I've had an awesome couple of weeks.
Took time off from TCS to go meet the company in hyd, which was fun.
Stayed home for a few days after I missed my train back to pune. :P
And I have gone to office only once(for 4 hours) since I came back.
So I should be back in Hyd sometime next month.
Thankfully, I'll miss the worst of the summer. The weather in Pune is really awesome for this time of the year. It does get a little hot, but the evenings are really pleasant. And since I know that Hyd is boiling at the moment, this weather seems amazing!
Hope everyone is alright.
-K.
Oh, Here's a little something I made.
One for each of us. Shouldn't be too hard to guess.
