Settled in HYD.. finally....

Hi to all my fans and friends...
,-)
.

Ohk Hi all my friends...

So finally am quite a bit settled and comfortable in HYD.. My home is all setup.. and so is things at office..
So you all can now start pouring in at HYD.. ohk.. one at a time plz... :-)

My home is in a place called YELL-a-Reddy-Guda... no its not a Dial-Reddy kinda service... just plain Telugu typa name...

Ohk.. well the place is quite a decent and green.. Green as in greenery and foilage..
So its quite a nice and peaceful sight to look from the balcony..
Its a 3 BHK place but I managed to convert it a 2 BHK + Sitout...
well, actually its a proper bedroom but since it is attached with the balcony and that too only with some huge windows and all, it looks more a part of the balcony.. and thats how we treat it as..

Maybe some pics of the place might clear things a bit.. dont expect em tomorrow... am supposed to be BZ..

Well, life in Hyd has been so far so good.. nice smallish city.. with too many people ...
Really, on weekends its hard to think of a place we can visit to generally hang-out or so.. We end up mostly in a mall called Hyderabad Central, which is just 10 mins away.. Its a typical mall where I mostly come out with my wallet a lot lighter... and my hands heavier...

One more interesting thing... which is absolutely non-interesting is the traffic...
It seems absolutely chaotic and is really inspirational to someone actually interested in Comp Sc to study Random functions..
Seriosuly, I am scared to drive around the place and the 2 scratches and 1 dent on my ZEN can vouch for that... and remember how much I prided myself on my smooth driving back in Delhi...

On the office front things are quite better... We had the MS IDC 7th Year anniversary celebrations on Saturday.. and it was actually fun.. The beer helped the matter IMO.... But the rock band was nice and so were a few presentations by IDC folks....

Hey, its been ages since I clicked anything.. with a camera offcourse...
My last outing was to the Charminar.. and trust me its truly elegant...
So to end this looong post, here are some pics of the place...

CHARMINAR PICS
















#1 : A Diagonal view of Cminar..
















#2: BLACK
the most dominant color in that area is black… black of burqas the women put on there… in the BG you see amazing clouds.. almost make it look unreal..



#3: Jyothi.



#4: Prototype view...
Must have seen this view in so many magazines and journals...



#5: Cminar, and the roadside ‘thelas’ …. Quite a colorful view…




#6: Minars
Magnificient.. all of em..



#7 : the mosque..



#8 : Charminar in chains..


So its been a long time since I have been out with my camera..
Looking forward to chance to give my camera a workout..

anyway, feel free to write back ur comments.. fan mail... and watever else you might want... :D

Ciao,

Am a Microsoftie now..

Yeah.. joined MS on 11th July, Monday..
Am one of those in the Evil Dark empire... ,-)

Is a great campus btw..
Actually a campus.. not to mention a spanking new building.. Yankee style..

and no restrictions on timings/ security/ ......
do what you want is the mantra...

still exploring the place really.. so dont really have a final opinion about the place.. will keep writing as and when i discover this new place..

HYD is actually a nice place.. contrary to my believe that people must have been wrong when they claimed it to be one...
Not big enough.. not small ..
nice simple people you can actually talk to..

Again, still discovering the place..

So sigining off for now,
~krishna~

My last days here..

I end my period with ST tomorrow i.e. 5th July, Tuesday. After 2 year 7 months...
Somehow I aint all that nostalgic or emotional.. i knew it was around the corner for a while..
So I was kind of mentally prepared..

The only thing I will miss for sure is my group.. had some real nice people in my group and will miss them.. Hope to keep contact with them.. and considering I belong here in Delhi, I hope to see them sometimes too..

For now, am busy taking the necessary clearances from various departments.. before they can relieve me.. A big time boring activity.. specially on your last few working hours...

Signing off,

Skyline of metropolitan Delhi..

One of those rare evenings in Delhi where the moon and the colors of the sky actually shows..
Took this one from the terrace of my apartment.. not the best possible shot.. but still liked it..
Some touch-up on the comp as well..

aaaaarghhh... there is alooooong way to go for me to really get some eye-catching stuff...
till then will have to do with mediocre stuff like this ...


Signin' off,

Lemme check the date again... O ho.. Its 21st Century here... REALLY ????

Imrana..

been a name quite in news here for a while.. The mother of 5 who was raped by her father-in-law..
The religious clerics of 'Dar-ul-Uloom Deoband' allegedly issued a fatwa on her instructing her to separate from her Husband..
Yeah you read that Right...
And now today there is a news piece claiming that the organisation never really issued such a fatwa..

read on here 'No fatwa in Imrana rape case: Deoband' !!!
Also read what Amit Varma writes at India Uncut about this..

Sometimes I wonder if the entire of India lives in the same Time Zone..
No one has cared to speak about the father-in-law in question.. while the poor woman has been dubbed 'haraaam' (forbidden)... aaargh..

It still is 11th Century in some parts of India... so much for India Shining !!


Signing off for now,
