oBeyond -----
I love searching Web 2.0 styled names and I searched and searched today. I somehow like the name “Beyond” and wish to call the company of my own by this name. Considering that I will establish one someday.
Today I found that the domain www.obeyond.com was available and immediately booked it.
I also have a new email - manu@obeyond.com
Another creative Sunday! I tried a few songs, but...
Manu's Corner Blog - 28/06/08
Yesterday was just a normal friday. Considering that we work full time on Saturdays, Fridays are normal working days for us.
After office, I met Ganguly and we went out hunting for a place to eat. We chose 100feet Boutique on 100feet Road Indira Nagar.
The ambience is good and a perfect setting for a date. But unfortunately, it was us two guys and thats all.
Putting down what we had here.

Manu's Corner Blog - Daily Update 26-06-08
Well, I ve decided to brand my daily Living Life update this way.
Today was just like any other day. Went to office early, watched a lot of Olympic swimming on Youtube. I loved Alexander Popov during my young days. Watched him beat Matt Biondi in 1992 (Barcelona) and then Gary Hall Jr in 1996.
I would like to include Popov also to my all time list of favorite sportsstars. Met 2 marketing...

Living Life update - 25-06-08
Cooked Dosas at home yesterday. Dad in Bangalore for a meeting. Consulting on a new age solar energy project. Brainstormed all night with dad about good and bad leadership, etc etc. Dad has always been supportive about whatever I have done in life. Was great to talk to him. Certainly boosted my spirit and energy.
Work going on as usual in office. Shaili joined on Monday and this is welcome relief...

Madurai
We set off from Kodai by the early morning bus ( 6 45 AM). We had breakfast in between at Batlagundu and reached Madurai by around 10 30 AM.
We were of course late for the marriage. We met Sethu, his brothers and father. Wished Sethu the very best, had a good lunch, took a few photographs and headed off to Madurai Meenakshi temple.
The temple is an artistic beauty. We were all around...
The trek - 22 June 2008
We trekked all the way downhill. I took little Shaswath on my shoulders. His dad was busy helping his mom and you know we are masters of volunteership. We volunteered to take him, Kalyan having to do the tough part of climbing uphill. Makes sense, I am overweight and he aspires to be Arnold. He reads the encyclopedia of bodybuilding by Arnold Swazz***er and hits the gym two times a day apart from...
Kodai - Madurai
Have been off tumblr for 2 days. The reason - I was on a trip to Kodai and Madurai.
Me and Kalyan headed off to Kodai on Sat evening. Including tidbits of information. There are 2 buses from Majestic to Kodaikanal. One at 8:30 and the other at 9:15. The charge is Rs 286 and it takes 12 hours to reach Kodai.
We took the 9:15 one which is a better bus. As we have a habit of mixing with everyone we...

Living Life update
Watched the Kamal Haasan 1987 blockbister “Nayagan” yesterday. Loved every bit of it. The movie is plain without any extra bits of drama and that is what impressed me. Would like to mention here that I have not watched the Godfather series ( Have surely read).Started Googling for Varadarajan Mudaliar, found some info on Wikipedia, but was unable to locate a photograph on the net.
