It seems JK Rowling has udhified the sangu for Harry in the yet to come seventh book. She has revealed that two of the main characters would die and axe has to probably fall on Harry’s head with Dumbledore mandaya pottufying in the previous book itself.

It was today morning I first saw it in one corner of the Hindu newspaper-an insert from the Guardian News publishers. Later I saw a bit of the interview that JK Rowling had given to CNN in which she stated that the sequel has to end and I have spared the supporting characters. It seems she had completed the seventh part in the early 90’s when she was a house wife and has done some editing to it recently. What would be the response from the millions of Potter fans around the world? Will the climax be changed after the book release and later re-released –idha engayo Tamil cinemala ketta madhiri irukka?????
Let us wait and see…

What started of as a private meeting between some over fervent chaps turned out to be one of the greatest ever blogger’s meet in Chennai. First and foremost thing I would like to thank all those who made this meet possible. Due thanks to this gal for screwing up the previously planned meet so that this one came into picture. Oops….we missed u and others a lot!!!!

I started off from my home in West Mambalam (I m not an Anna nagar blogger!!!!) along with raghuveer. As many who visited the meet have written about it in point by point manner… (Like in Anna university exams), I also resort to the same thing.

*The king who made his entry and surprised everyone! What a man he is!!!!!

*The awesome geek and his buttock buttock buttock…oops your search ends here BOTHACK

*The so called co-organizer and the tsunami who made everyone laugh.

*the perfect couple whose articles has to pass the censor board!!!

*The only two LJ freaks in this world, Hamsini and Katheeja
No dude…I m not gonna link the koka video here

*the future lawyer who gave THE satisssssfaccccctsssionnn for the meet!!!

* Non stop nonsense from my own pettai and the shaky sheky

*Namma ooru aishwarya rao who was a silent pic-taker and later kalakified in her blog.

*the two freaky pass out gals and the two IITians

*The greatest spammer on earth whose image could be legitimately mirrored in sulekha.

Two days back I happened to visit my school which is one of the most unique schools in the city, I would even say in the world. I hope many would have heard about a school named Sri Ahobila Math Oriental Hr Sec School in West Mambalam. This is where I did my final two years of schooling. Nearly two tears since I left the school I went there two days back to get a Sanskrit merit scholarship cheque (don’t ask me if I know Sanskrit well…I studied Sanskrit for nearly 8 years I suppose!!!!!). I can also read Tamil (I had it as my second language till 5th standard), thanks to Ananda Vikatan for keeping me fluent till now.

What is so different about the school? First and foremost is it’s ambience, it doesn’t look like a school. All male students are required to wear a vezhti (dhoti…of course with shorts inside!!!!) and all female students should wear dhavani (half sari). The school produces myriad state ranks every year and also admission to the higher secondary stream has got a lot of formalities. All students (mostly from the Brahmin community…) in the first year are made to study Vedas and Upanishads and also Sanskrit is the compulsory second language of instruction.

When I went there to collect the cheque along with one friend who suggested buying a DVD writer with the money, I also resorted to the same plan but later dropped it. Let me have those 1500 bucks for some other purpose!!! I had the same feeling as when I entered the school for the first day. Nothing has changed since- the small boys chanting the Vedas, the HM, and the AHM sir (one of my most fauvorite teachers…), The teachers, the chemistry lab salt analysis…. (Few things which I could notice in the short time I stayed)

In the two years I studied there I learnt a lot and I would even say wasted the opportunity. The school had some of the best staff members. During the twelfth standard our class was an “only boys” class and we enjoyed to the core and some of the moments still stay fresh in the mind. The school strength was massive and I made some good friends during the two years.

Coming back to the current story, a remainder for the Bloggers meet, it is supposed to take place tomorrow (24th June, 3:00 PM) at Ascendas near Tidel Park in Taramani.
We are greatly indebted to Kiruba, Gilli, Prav, magix and all others for putting up the info in their blogs.

The Chennai Bloggers meet is stated to take place on Saturday, the 24th June at Ascendas. Heard it is a beautiful place and no one questions us on how long you can sit without buying anything

Quoting Kausik
There is going to be a blogger’s meet on the 24th of June at the Ascendas, Taramani at around 3 p.m. All Bloggers from Chennai are welcome to hop in and share a word. And in case you are more interested in the grub rather than in petty talks (which I am sure is not the case), then for you people, it is going to be a YOYP (You Order You Pay) system.

This one is finalised and there won’t be any further changes. Please spread the word by posting this info in your blogs and Orkut profiles. I will try to post the roadmap to Ascendas shortly. For further updates please keep a watch. Hope to see you all at Ascendas.

     One place where all the reddygaru, naidugaru and iyengar merge is Tirupati-the city which never sleeps. In the past 18 years I have been there only once for my first year head tonsuring which I don’t remember but in the past 18 days I have been there twice.
Just after the semester exams some of my class mates planned a trip to Tirupati (no sentiments attached! I am a non religious person…). First I said I would not come but later I also joined. We didn’t buy any tickets or book for the darshan and started without any planning.

     Yesterday I went to Tirupati again for attending my friend Adithya’s poonal (thread ceremony) and returned back today. This time also I was in a dilemma whether to go or not and at the neck of the movement me and one of my flat friends started in train and joined others. One thing I like about this place is the government’s initiative in providing everything free of cost but everything is corrupted with everyone getting bribes. Even we bribed and I felt guilty and all those RDB and Lok Paritran impacts will get mounted as rubbish if this goes on. Another gruesome thing was that in many places only the jangiri like Telugu script was used, of course it happens in every state.

     The first time we didn’t have any passes and so we waited in the hall for almost 5 hours for darshan where the Telugu Ramayana was played. It was amusing to see people whistling and shouting like in a cinema hall when Kumbakarna woke up. It was also the place where Ramanand Sagar taught us the basic scientific law “Two equal opposite forces cancel the effect of each other…” which could be seen to a great extent in the battle field when Rama and Ravana uttufy ambu (arrow) against each other also with the release of some energy in the form of lighting effects. My friends tonsured their heads but with my French beard, if I had tonsured I would have looked like Stone Cold Steve Austin!!!

     Coming back to yesterday’s story we had VIP pass and so we didn’t have any difficulties in entering the sanctorum. We went in a jeep to the hill top and in the security check post everyone was asked to get down. The man asked me to open my bag, he opened another zip in which I had one Sidney Sheldon book which I completed reading two thirds and so I had another Nelson Demille book which had no cover. He took it and asked “what book is this?” I replied “story book!” the security looked at it for two or three times and asked again “Is this a BIBLE? You are not supposed to carry a BIBLE inside the city sir” Is our country SECULAR??? Another thing which I saw was “only Hindus allowed inside” When is all these going to change???

     Half of the holidays have got over but many of the plans which I had set in mind have failed. Also went to Queensland on Sunday. It was totally crowded and we had to wait for taking our rides. I enjoyed many rides like the Go-karting where I never took my legs of the accelerator and dashed on the stacked tyres at the end. Other things like the dark house, roller coater, 3D simulation, mirror house (where I dashed my nose on the mirror!!!), water rides were all awesome. We also missed some of the rides due to the lot of Sietji’s who come with at least 20 members in a family (3 or 4 babes included too!!!) on Sundays and also the cable car though it was nice was too long saying it is Asia’s largest. I felt like traveling for hours in the open sky. Overall it was a nice day out.
