ACCELERATING START IN THE NEW YEAR

I am back again to the Blog.. Certainly after a BIG gap!

First good news, in 2006, is with the arrival of a baby-boy at my sister's place in the U.S on January 2, 1 pm U.S time (11. 30 pm Indian time)...They've christened him TEJAS. Tejas Beta, I dont how long it would take me to see you in person (even I ve not seen Tejas's sister Tanya in person (1.5 years old now!)). Only I am hoping to see the kids on my sister's vacation to India..

I am in the ORACLE CoE now, certainly much better than the bench in the office.. Recently i ve put 'vazhuthu kaal' into the orkut. Right now I am connected to 12239687 people through 4 friends :D )))

Then, on January 4, I went to Uma Achi's place here for 'Pillaiyaar Nombu', a festive of Nagarathars (well, I too am a Nagarathar). Had a very good 'saapaadu' with around 2 dozen idli's, vadai, paniyaarams and three different chutnies too! The occasion gave a chance to socialise with three Nagarathar families here. As usual, the air was filled with the talks of oor, kovil, kalyanams, karaikudi et. al

Aaj ka Tid Bits:
Todays news has shocked everyone: 350+ haj pilgrims believed to be dead bcos of stampede.
Well, the much awaited Indo-Pak test series had a kick start today at Pak with Pak team opting to bat first.
