7th Chennai Photowalk

The Seventh Chennai Photowalk happened on May 11th. I know its a bit late for me to write a post about it here. Still.

I had to sacrifice my sleep at a time when it is at its best – 5 in the morning. But, it was worth it!

A quick stroll to the Mylapore Temple Tank and I was on. It took a while for everyone to come and we were all set for the 7th Chennai Photowalk.

We were met with some stares, some hostile and some obliging poses all the way from Mylapore to San Thome.

Met some interesting people like Chandru (the chief of this tribe) Subhash, one of the editors in The Hindu, Mihir, Gautham, Shillika, Shaam, Anand, Dilip and many more. Saw PlaneMad for the first time though we knew each other through our respective blogs. He claimed to be named Arun Ganesh – I prefer to call him PlaneMad. Infact, I had and still have trouble calling him Arun.

All this means more additions to my blogroll as most of these people have interesting blogs.

All the Photowalk pics can be seen here.

In other news, the Pichavaram trip with Gapp, PlaneMad, Vetti and Dilip was not that great as we expected it to be. It was good though and we had fun. Again met new people – Vetti and Dilip. Cant write a detailed post on the Pichavaram trip here as I have promised Ram of findnearyou.com that I would write the travelogue for his website. The pics can be seen here.

Also, Shankar Ganesh’s three SugarSync Annual Subscriptions are up for grabs. All you have to do is to visit the link here and write a catchy comment on why you need a $49.99 worth SugarSync subscription and how you’ll use it.

Hurry!

Update on May 17th – While I thought that I, along with Gapp was pulling PlaneMad’s leg throughout the trip, it finally turned out that it was my leg that was being pulled. All along.

Right now, three people are laughing away like hyenas in Chennai. Bad.

Mera number aayega! Hope so.

Hosted WordPress Blogs

If you are a blogger who loves WordPress, but are turned off by the fact that it doesn’t offer specific features like CSS editing and monetizing your blog and cant afford spending big bucks for hosting, here is a solution.

I am giving out hosted and pre-installed WordPress blogs for a considerably lesser price than normal hosting.

If you would like the sound of this, drop in a mail at mail@sathyanarain.com or call me at 91-988-443-6508 and we can get talking.

Not for marketing, but I really say one must get a hosted WordPress blog if he/she wants to experience the depth of WordPress. I have been writing on a hosted blog just for the past few days and the amount of gyaan I obtained was simply awesome! Not a marketing gimmick. You ask any person who is into hosted WordPress blogs and you will know!

Happy Birthday to me!

Today was the last day of College.

After the 2 PM to 5 PM exam, we spent the next one hour sitting at all our favorite hangouts of college.

First it was the famed cement benches (mechanical marathadi) After a session of photographs there, we moved to the OAT and spent the remaining time there.

It was nostalgic and many of the guys broke down – surprisingly, I didn’t feel like crying! I was enjoying my day! Even the lateral entry guys who are over six feet and weigh above 90 kilos with a mush and beard that would put Ved Vyas to shame cried! Maybe, I am just a heartless joker!

Thinking of the bygone four years, I am reminded of a few incidents that were simply awesome!
