Blog, blog, PLOG

Posted By harish
Blog, blog, blog is all I hear from my partner Pavithra instead of her usual hello! Well to be honest I've been busy trying to tie up all the loose ends at work prior to our departure to Bombay. It's the P mantra now - Planning, packing, posting, purchasing, plotting and last but not least producing. So now I only wish Blog was a Plog and it would have got done. The one thing I try not to miss is my Sunday RC drive as its the next best to the real thing. That's Prabhakar in the pic topping up my Baja prior to its next run. Its a relaxing and action packed hobby and I'm addicted. Don't miss the tracks in the background where all the action takes place. Back to business. Planning- We now have 3 plans in place and have to keep in mind the current floods in Gujarat. Packing - Don't know yet what the organizers will be providing, and so have kept everything on standby ready to go. Posting- Is happening on Twitter, Facebook and Orkut and we're trying to drum up followers. It looks fair now as everyone is on equal footing and we're keeping tabs on the competition. Purchasing - My faithful Nikon just went kaput after over 6 years of dedicated 24/7 service and i'm on the look out for a replacement. Just purchased a Fenix torchlight and its wow! Plotting - No no its not the wicked kind, but, just maps. And finally Producing- Our own video with loads of inputs from my inhouse actor, director, partner - Pavithra. Its all happening and its action packed. Ole!

We haven't heard the 'Suprabhatham' chant for many many years. While we were in Chennai and Kerala we used to hear that quite often. First day morning. And as we walk into this nice restaurant at Vashi for breakfast, the 'Suprabhatham' chant welcomes us. Perhaps a good omen on the first stop on first day.
