Moving Out of Reading....

I am writing this after I had packed all my bags. Alas! I am moving out of Reading, UK in another 8 hours from now. It has been wonderful out here. Trip down the memory lane, I became very nostalgic about this place, even though Maidenhead is still remains as a queen of my homes as Veeru (i call him bhadra) and Anand (I call him budi) and myself enjoyed at 125, clare road as the second heaven. Comapred to that I didn't have the same intimacy to Reading, still I loved the town centre, mcilroys' building (where most of my friends live), TGIF and her favourite Gremlins and Margaritas, My famous sessions with Nuts (Natarajan), DJ Guggs (Sreedhar) and Guns (Ganesh) at TGIF coupled with My favourite "Lynchberg Lemonade" is ultimate. My cricket days were equally thrilling with Prabhakar & co and we need a nice time with folks here on most of the evenings in summer. Time has come to say good bye to Reading, UK and Finally I had to accept that I fell in love with you as i ...

I was browsing through one of the archives at my home, where i got to see one of my favourite and most loved fotos of my brother Ram. I have never seen kids more than Ram when he was in childhood. Following were the snaps of kids in my family who are grown up... - Ram was seated in an arm chair. - Doesn't he look like the Farex / J&J kid ? - Appidi yennada Kushi ?... - She was the cutest girl child i had ever seen....my cousin nitya...There was time she resembled steffi...with monkey drop hair style...another cutie... - Though I didn't like my fotos, this one was cute, one of the very few fotos where i am sitting quiet..eppadida...?

If I would be regretting a decision at the end of my stay in UK, it would be my decision for not buying my Yamaha E403 keyboard (could be E303 would do...even). I tried to resist my temptation of not visiting "Dawsons" the music shop in reading till yesterday, finally decided to enter the shop only to come out with tears which would have expressed my inability to carry back a keyboard (a Priced Posesssion) back to India. "Price Does Matter" - but i never found a way to carry back due to the restrictions of baggage/weight in Heathrow. Though there is an option to sell it back here (which i never would do, as it is valuable to me not in terms of price, but for other reasons). But this is one of my agenda to get a decent 61 keyboard once I am in India and start my lessons with musee musicals / Promusic in chennai. I have been longing to get a decent KB right from my 5th std in school, but unfortunately now i can afford to buy one, but i cannot take it back. That left m...
