Sreesanth the dancer



Somebody sent this to me. Very interesting especially if u like dance/cricket.
How many of u saw Shahrukh rise from TV serial "FAUJI". I used to watch the show just to see him, and was surprised to see my cousins, who never watch anything other than english shows, watching this Hindi serial.
Shah Rukh Khan made it big. Congrats to him. He still seems to be a crowd puller. One year back, my second child happened to see his movie. Although she did not understand a thing, she who can't be easily impressed,was impressed. Now recognises him in tv ads.
Heard about the malayali cricket player through Asianet serial - where they talk about famous personality & their antics - about his swearing on the play ground.
Great!! See what he has to say to SRK about it. Enjoy the dance.
God bless them in their careers.... Usha

Nano Neeyo?

Wonder if all of you heard about the 1 lakh car from the Tata stable? Last year an auto expert was telling us that the 1 lac car would probably look like an auto and would have curtains instead of doors!! But here is a dashing looking car that is going to cause major traffic congestions and pollution on the roads. I wouldnt mind booking one for myself.
 
Updates: Murali has gone to Australia for 2 weeks to witness his brother receiving an award. BTW, he was telling me that the class blog was looking like a conversation between me and Usha! No one else is contributing anything. Miller, Maha - do you hear?

Juniors

Yesterday I met two of our juniors from college - Sindhu John and Vinu Verghese Cherian - at two different locations in Mahabalipuram.
Sindhu Paul had come with her handsome bearded hubby Paul to sing the invocation song at the Orthodox Christian Students Movement's centenary celebrations held in Chennai. It was wonderfully rendered and sounded almost like classical music. She has been learning Karnatic music for the past 12 years.

I met Verghese Cherian and family (wife Devika, son Rithwik and daughter Natasha) at the Sea Crest restuarant in MGM beach resort late in the night. He works for a PR firm and looks the same. His wife is with Wipro foundation.
