First Timer

Here goes the first one. I know this was to come a long time back but better late than never.

Nothing specific to write in the first post though. Still exploring the site. And I will be bugging some of the old timers for tips and tricks all of next week. That reminds me, life in office is going to get really boring from next week with 4 friends moving out of the campus/project :(

Everyone is talking about Hyderabad's international airport - well it isnt going to open up that soon !!! What a dissapointment. No reasons stated but here are some pics of the (almost ready ????) roads leading to the airport taken on 24th feb. Imagine the nightmare people are going to face once the the airport starts operating with the state of the roads being this bad. Dunno the current situation though. Newspapers say that all the roads including the expressway from mehdipatnam will be completed not before next year. I pity all the frequent fliers especially Tim.



And also, please avoid taking the nagarjuna circle road for a few days. The traffic here is worst than anything you will ever see. Here is a birds eye view of the franatic construction happening there from the Brisha side of the road.


I have to take this road to office everyday since I have to drop Tim at his office and pick him up in the evenings.

The only relief on the ride to work every morning is the sight of these beautiful Tabebuia Aurea trees on the NTR marg and at the Imax circle.



No movies this weekend as yet because everyone is busy and not many nice movies playing ( yes, I havent watched Jodha Akbar yet and I have no plans of watching in the future). Had gone to 10,000 BC last weekend at Anand. Nothing great to write about this movie. And it surely wasnt worth the triple price we paid for the ticket in black, all thanks to tingu-mak ;). Saw Smoking Aces at home yesterday night though. Didnt like it.

I will abrubtly end this post here since I have nothing more to write ( and no more good pics to upload :o ). I never thought my first post will be about the constructions happening in hyderabad, but somehow I get the feeling that my future posts will also include lots of pics - dont they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

Heres wishing best of luck to saurabh, idly, deepthi and the gang for tomorrows exam (though not many people will be reading this post till monday) and also to Tim for his French exam tomorrow - Tous les meilleurs frère
Expecting lots of comments ( I am an optimistic person you see :p ) and criticism from many people.

-ciao
