Namma ooru gumbal!

The holiday season has kicked in :) The newbie in the blogging world that I am, I got to meet lot of gurus and thalais from the blogging world over the past few days.

Barista's Besant Nagar on Sunday and the one on G.N.Chetty Road on Monday!

Sunday was the turn of the younger junta. The meet was made possible thanks to the enterprising and persevering Jagan :P. Barista's followed by bajjis at the beach!

L-R: Dada, Jaggu, me, Virdi, Priya

Virdi: The 'mama' of the group. Oringinally from Punjab, but dont get fooled by his accent. He can say 'Bainjoo' with a Bengali accent and confuse you. Looks and speaks like a true IITian that he is. Currently at Frost & Sullivan. ' Harbhajan Mann'

Vatsan: Also another 'mama' of the group, not in terms of age but size :P. Has a Bullet to go with his macho look and a dhadi to boot. Also has critical and radical views on everything... Was one of the three guys with a 100 % attendance. ( Jagan and myself brought up the rest of the vetti gumbal). Enga 'area dada'.


Priya : Chinna ponnu...rowsu..also the lil sis of one of my batchmates at college...:P Chk out the snap. Jokes apart, she was a funny girl ( I mean, to laugh at) and thanks to her, all of us had a nice time! 'Monalisa'

Jagan: Hasnt changed one bit since his college days. A cool, nice guy and a super timepass! 'Morpheous' ( For obvious reasons)

Vee-jay: Moderator Aunty..better not say anything bad about her. Kept the conversation going and was mainly responsible for all of us having a great time! The modern house-wife..had to rush back home to get ready for the poojai. 'Avvai Shanmugi'

Samy: Ivuru Samy illa...asaamy. Throughout the evening, I was sitting and wondering where I had seen this guy before...has a really familiar face...Claims he can drive from Adyar to Ashok Nagar in 10 minutes..konjam over dhaan...adjust maadi :P 'Then Indiya Schumacher'


Jayanthi akka : Last but not the least,adhigama aasa padra aambalayum,adhigama kova padra pombalayum ozhunga vaarzhndhadha sarithrame illa. Going by thalai's dialogue, she is going to live for a long while. Silent party...sweet smile. Chance kedaicha udane office laendhu escape aagi vandhutaantga! ' Silent Sornakka'

L-R: Dada, innocent man, Jagan, Schumey, Shanmugi and Sornakka!
