Really a fantastic flow and feel bad for not having known this so far though we know each other for about 2 years!<BR/><BR/> Beautiful coining of words too in a rhythmic manner and compliant to the situtation!<BR/><BR/> I do totally agree with the way you have portrayed the IT lifestyle and commented about the individuals happened-to-surrender situation!<BR/><BR/> But then, <B>what exactly is the need of implying Murugan's story here?</B> Perhaps, it is just to show that Abhishek's memories have been actuated on seeing a couple rushing to get a cab? <BR/><BR/> No matter what sense it makes to this narration of depicting the IT lifestyle, there you have penned down a beautiful thought about the way Men and Woman perceive the things and people! <BR/> <BR/> Quite agreeable though subjective to an argument as there are relaxations everywhere. But that suits with the majority.<BR/><BR/> I expected something about the 'Ctrl+Alt+Del' and finally was satisifed through the line 'he locked his machine and walked away' :)<BR/><BR/><B>Life needs a pause at times certainly!!</B><BR/><BR/>Your post definitely left a great impression in me.. <BR/><BR/>Keep going..<BR/><BR/>Best wishes!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Raghavan alias Saravanan M.Raghavan alias Saravanan Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770791475348776850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14206076.post-51068552222390606192007-11-07T14:43:00.000-05:002007-11-07T14:43:00.000-05:00nice one harish... u do give life to these kind a ...nice one harish... u do give life to these kind a simple reality stuff and boy it does hit hard... it was nice to blend the murugan affair stuff..so common these days esp in the s/w thozil.. <BR/>hats off thalaiva !dakaltizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09017507752194554413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14206076.post-4965125270615340192007-11-07T10:28:00.000-05:002007-11-07T10:28:00.000-05:00@Ambi,Summa pinni pedal edukreenga..Neenga moola k...@Ambi,<BR/>Summa pinni pedal edukreenga..<BR/>Neenga moola karar dhaan :P<BR/><BR/>//*ahem, so ponnu peru manasi rite..? :p//<BR/><BR/>Apdiya harish?? :P<BR/>Appo andha vella kari??<BR/>Sari avalavdhu pozhachupa..andha karuppi??<BR/>Pavam ilaaaaaaaa :PMaruthamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00958040977018349381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14206076.post-45578467554630951502007-11-07T10:25:00.001-05:002007-11-07T10:25:00.001-05:00I should not have read this posttttttttttt ...I al...I should not have read this posttttttttttt ...<BR/><BR/>I already know this is not the profession that i wanted to do...
