Good relaxing month

Hi everyone,

Its the week of Diwali, and its peaceful. Our site has gone live and you be the judge afterwards. You can visit our site at Dodge Build & Price, Jeep Build & Price and Chrysler Build & Price. We have started on the future release and have already made a couple of smaller releases after the first big one. All seem to be in good shape. All that remains is our signing of the Business Value deal with DCX. The day that happens we are all gonna party like crazy. The work in general has come to about 6 - 8 hours proper work a day. The rest of the time in office I just goof around. So all things seem positive and rosy.

Also lots more good things happening around. My friend Natty just flew to US. He works in Infy. Hope he's gonna have a great time over there, though he would have preferred someone also to be flying with him ;). A month back a couple of my friends Vijay and Dhana joined a company in Cyprus. But for them its going to be tougher to adjust, but hoping they too will be having a nice time over there. This time also seems to be having a lots of marriages. My friend Shobana's brother just got married, and another friend Prathap's brother is about to get married. Still hoping that some of my classmates will soon get married, it would be fun to pick on some one :).

Well life in Banalore seems pretty good. Nowadays, I usually eat out in the nights and am checking out lots of new restaurants in our area. Recently got a taste for Thai food and steaks. So each day I spend atleast a couple of hours in a restaurant. Last weekend Prathap had come to Bangalore for shopping. We went on a fun shopping spree, though had to stand for a long time. Well one thing was sure from that trip, each one have their own tastes. Also met Pravin (my classmate from school and college) after a long time. Then Monday night was Olu's birthday celebrations (Olu, again my classmate, colleague). Poor guy he was going to malai and still we kicked his ass. What goes around, comes around.

Well I couldn't get tickets to get to Chennai for Diwali, so joined wit my colleague, Danny to drive down in his car, a Zen. It was tiring but fun. Only bad part was that we started a bit late and had to travel some 4 hours in the night. But there was some amazing stretches of road for about 30 km, where the car never went below 130 kmph. It was a great ride. But just after that there was construction going on and the road sucked for the next 30 kms. Life is full of ups and downs. Man these things make me feel philosophical, maybe I am the next Socrates?

Well what else, just finished DaVinci Code. Good fast paced story, but not as huge as it was hyped, but a definite page turner. Well hope would start Ponniyin Selvan again. So that's it from me. Catch you all sooner.

Love,
Palani.
