Radio Mirchi in Bangalore

I had been to Commercial street yesterday for shopping. When I was selecting a T-Shirt in a shop, suddenly I heard an advertisement in the radio that was familiar to me. Thats none other than "Yappa yappa Ayyappa....Radio Mirchi hot-appa...." I was shocked to hear this in Bangalore. Bcoz I used to hear this in Chennai Radi Mirchi FM and it is very impossible for FM signals to propagate from Chennai to Bangalore. Also Radio city was the only private FM station being broadcasted in Bangalore. Then I came to my apartment and tuned my mobile handset for any new FM station and I found Radio Mirchi at 93.3. This FM station was aired in Bangalore last week (April 17th). There is no doubt that this popular channel (in other cities) will be a tough competitor for Radio City. Obviously FM listeners in Bangalore have got another choice and going to have a good entertainment. To my surprise, my mobile phone picked up Suryan FM & Radio mirchi from Chennai today morning. Got a chance

Toon Disney

I had a grand welcome last weekend when I went to my native . As soon as the sweet kids of my neighbor saw me, they became very happy and shouted “Haiyya Balu mama vandhaachu…” Why they became happy on seeing me? Will I take them to beach? Or Will I get them Ice creams?. Nope. They can watch their favorite cartoon channels in their TV. A month back I went to their house and deleted all the cartoon channels from their TV. I had promised them that I will tune and restore all the cartoon channels once their exams are over. So they were eagerly waiting for my arrival. Kidz: Mama vaanga enga veetuku pogalaam… Me : Edhuku da…. Kidz: Exam mudinja apuram cartoon channels ellathayum TV-la vaikiren-u sonneenga illa… Me : :-D aamaa…..adhuku enna ippo?? Kidz: vaanga polaam…. I used this chance and asked them to sing and dance. Since there was no other way, they did everything (even I got a kiss ;-) ). Then I left to their house. Me : Endha channel venum da? Kidz: Cartoon Network,

The Greatest Love.....

One year with semiconductor giant

Yep. I completed one year with the semiconductor giant yesterday. I have been sent to this dream company by my parent company which is located at Chennai for a short-term assignment. After completing the assigned task successfully they grabbed me for another maintenance project where I have to fix the bugs in the firmware reported in 4 similar kinds of servers. It was really a nice experience in working in this company. The work environment and the culture here are just amazing. 12 months went just like 12 weeks. Since I pursued my engineering in the electronics branch, this company was a dream for me. Sometimes even I had thought that whether the security of this company will allow me inside the company premises to submit my resume ;-). Wish to have the same kind of good work in the future too.

Jam...Traffic Jam

As everyone know Bangalore city is popular for its traffic density. It was very much crowded on the eve of Ugadi. This year Ugadi fell on Thursday and helped most of the people to get a long weekend just by taking a vacation on Friday. I was one among them :-). City buses and autos set ‘Majestic’ as their target and were rushing from all part of the B’lore. My friend cum colleague had arranged a treat on the same day and pleaded me to attend the same. The poor guy BalaG planned to attend the treat partially and leave early to catch his Pondy bus on time. As usual all the bad lucks joined their hands together and prevented me to attend the same. It took us 1hr 25mins instead of usual 20mins to reach the restaurant where the treat was arranged. As it was getting late I dropped my plan of attending the treat :-(. After wishing him “Nalla iruda nanbaa...”, I left to Majestic in the same bus (Enna kodumai Saravanan idhu!!). I donno whether he slept on that night or not as he was very sad th
