Jarugandi Jarugandi - Yup this is the Tirupati Trip Travelogue.
In Short the trip started at Nanganallur (Anchi), Tada Falls, Srikalahasthi (Eeshwar), Tirupati, Chandragiri Fort, Kanipakkam (Pilliayar Appan), Tirumala (Venky), Srinivasa Mangapuram (Elder Venky), Talakona Falls.
Rule : I will select one place of my choice for each place of visit by my parents.
Nanganallur : (15th Dec) Daddy and Amma Came to Nanaganallur. Me, Sis and Sham joined them to visit Anjaneya. We lived there few years before, place has changed a lot. Nostalgic!! reminds me of lot many incidents. Prasadam at this place is awesome :p.

Points to Remember: Go in a Group, you need to drive on ~3km of rough road (actually no road) to reach the stream, then would need to trek for 5km to reach the Waterfall.

Ko(matha) Puja : Woke up early morning to attend Ko Puja. It is believed that each organ of a cow represents different god, goddess and devargal. The sacred cow of the temple is decorated and is worshiped.
Chandragiri Fort:

Tip: Best time to visit this place is before dusk.


Tip: If you want to have a relaxed venki darshan, go to the temple on a Tuesday/Wednesday 10pm.


Tips: Friends/Food/Gang is a must. Water Proof camera. Be there just after the monsoon rains. Beware of our ancestor.

New Year Resolution - Tagged Again
Saturday, December 29, 2007
I have been tagged by Anoop "tale of a lone wolf" to list my new year resolution. Thanks Dude :)
In my first Year of my College, A New Year resolutions is just a crap idea; it’s simply setting yourself up for lots of disappointment later on. So the new year resolution 1996 was "Not to take a New Year Resolution during New Years". Felt proud and stood for the Resolution.
But later i understood life without goals was like sailing without a destination. Happily broke the resolution and started to list the objectives for my life.
Looking back on this year goal
- Save Money - Accomplished.
- Morning Walk - Except for 4 months of Knee Rest - I made an attempt to reach KBR park.
- Reduce Thooppai (Tummy) - On Going, but considerable accomplishment.
- Get on to Oracle Applications Consulting.
- Improve fitness level.
- DIY project every month, starting january a small studio in my room.
- Learn to say 'No' (Yennada rombha nallavanu mattum thappa nenaikadeengo. Will not say no, but do what i wish only)
- Shred a bit of lazyness
- Plan my Time/Money
- A photo in my blog what ever it is.. Would be mine(Taken by me)
- A Paper and a pen next to me always
- More Travel (South)
- Gonna Stand for what ever I do (sorry Anoop for looting from you)
I want to tag few ppl who inspired in something or the other later this year.

I am Tagged!!!
Sunday, December 02, 2007
Tagging rules:
- Each blogger must post these rules
- Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves
- Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
- Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and to read your blog.
Here are the 8 things abt me.
- NFS(Office Name), 'Full Throttle' is my Rule. Can't drive slowly. Crazy about driving. My fav lines are
"Sometimes I drive so fast, Just to feel the danger.
I wanna scream, It makes me feel alive"
from Anything but Ordinary by Avril Lavigne. Recent Expedition - drove to Chennai from hyderabad in 10hrs. And then to my home town trip meter reading 998. - Knowing or unknowingly, i get influenced/inspired by people i like the most or with the people i mostly talk to. Be a Song, a word, a slang or a habit, sometimes this make me feel i am not real.
- Can cook my own Food rite from
Breakfast to Lunch to snacks to Dinner, but offcourse i need my mom's sambar podi and online support from the chief chef or the lil chef.
I love cooking for my friends. Atleast one or the other week, we cook/party at home. Known to friends as Aada Bala (south indians should know the Aada Dish, in hyd they call pesaratu)
Biriyani (Veg, Egg, Chicken) - Veg is my Fav. Shark Puttu is my last experimented side dish and many more. My online reciepe book is here (dei balu podhum niruthu rombha scene podatha :p Oru veelambharammm) - Have patience to baby sit a kid and especially if it is a girl, i enjoy wasting time with them
- Tends to take advantage of people i live with, mostly will make others to wait. Never seen a movie in theatre from the first scene.
- Car Habits : Play loud music, open doors for the females, atleast a flower for my friends (Yellow Gerberas is my Fav)(Guys and south Indians think bad about this - becoz we are conservative). I like doing this for my friends. Picked up this habit from hari
- Fitness Freek .. naaaaaa... Can't be after listing the above, but walk daily 5kms and workout for 1hr. Thanks to my friends who drag me.
- Music (mostly i tag a person to each of my fav songs), Photo, Friends, Flickr, A Call Home inspires me.
I am not tagging anybody, and anybody can pick this up and leave me a note to know about you.
