Kodaikanal Tour - 1

After so much tired of eating at many different places in Chennai, we decided to cut-off the calories that we accumulated in huge numbers. Rest is history. We packed up and landed in Madurai en-route to Kodaikanal - Queen of Hills.

It was in December, coldest time(min temp goes down to 20* C :-)) ) in Southern India.

We got into Madurai and hired mini cab. It was more than spacious for us. A great head start.

In the mini van - tourister
my fate always I'm pictured with goondas... :D


While enroute to Kodaikanal, we stopped after some 20KMs from Madurai to refresh ourself...
We found this great farmland across the road... Once again a great head start of tour...


Hmmm.... Is it really required to brush Mr???

Hmmm.. some insect lovers clicked this...


A great morning... it was around 7AM... just next to Madurai...




Myself and Kannan




The Super Humans


We are greeted by Sun too


Morning breakfast in style...




Got good roads too


Almost got into territory of Kodaikanal... A small dam on the roadside...


Tipping stones of Kodaikanal...

Miracle happens here and there... But recording them as it happens makes them historical....
Thats what been captured here....


You may used to hear many companies having in-house development team, in-house operation team etc...
What makes our team stand apart from all other team is by having in-house circus team... You can see here one of my friend role-playing the monkey :D


We tried to make sort of memorable picture here, where after some decades ppl around the world can refer and say - this brains together made this greatest ever discovery...


what you can say about girls... just a different day... instead of cooking themselves, others made for them... nothing much...


Whatever said and not-said... at the end its this -
A Happy Team '2009

A collage of seen and unseen pictures







Thanks to Yamini, Deepa and Kuppu for this wonderful treat!!!
(how come we left that duck behind us??? I thought that was also given in our plates.... hmmm... lets plan that next time...)

Treat @ ECR Road Basera Restaurant

This is one of the blog post which was pending for long time - nearly 4 months. Finally got the right time and mind to blog it now. Sorry to Deepa who long time back asked me to blog it and share.

Per gentleman team agreement, its the turn of Deepa, Kuppuraj and Yamini to give treat to mark their birthday. It was yet another great day to all of us who has shared good amount fun time putting everything else back of the mind.

We went to Basera Restra in ECR Road, a 15 mins drive from our TIDEL office.

Since I got too many good pictures and taking a decision of whether to put up in blog or not is very hard, I will create two blog posts in this topic to include all.

okay lets dive into the pictures,

50% - 50%
First two(L to R) - Members of Grass Eaters Assoc.(Veg)
Next two - Members of Grass and Grass Consumers Eaters Assoc.(Non Veg)



One of our ever great host


Basera - A good place of greens






You may think table is small for this group...
But look beyond the table...
Each one of us are carrying a big container that can contain twice the size of table you see...


What you can say for this reaction...
Enna kodumai sir...
Oru appalam... athuku intha reactiona....


If the previous one was crazy, then what you say for this???
Damn sure even Gemini Ganesan and Shivaji Ganesan can't replicate this duo...





As usual.... myself... thinking..
whether to eat and drink water or drink water and eat...
But why the hell Tamil looking at my plate?? Cant he see his own before him???


oooo.. great... I love Chicken..


A momentary pause between eat-outs...
