My First Flight Journey! Dec 29,2007

Boarding…..
Now, I lounged in the seat and eventhough it was dark, I was already looking out through the window.

Flight took off towards Frankfurt and this world has become TOO SMALL for me.

Lovable Air Hostess all around.
Landing in Frankfurt, I had enough time to board LH-468 to Portland.

Saturday early morning, Weather read 35 °F, I arrived at PDX,Portland.

Immigration was too special for me and now MY DREAMS COME TRUE!!

Checked into the Hotel with tons of pleasure…Now “THE BRAND NEW LIFE” has started……!!!!!!!!!!!

THE TAKEOFF DAY..There is No Better Way to Fly

In a bright sunny day, I am now getting off. By now itself, I have starting missing my puppy; We the Best Friends! :-(
Doing whirlwind shopping and Managing the baggage upto the mark. Hhhhmmm….

For people who travel Overseas:
1) Buy Formal Dresses(for the people in west, it depends).
2) Buy Jeans unless you would like great fit.
3) Say NO TO T-SHIRTS from India.
4) Get Loads of Indian Masala…and Few ‘Ready To Eat’ food products.

The night in Airport with My Friends and family is a memory that’s too good to remember. 

With happy and smiling face, I have now crossed borders boarding Lufthansa-LH759. 

December Flowers ‘07 – One Last Week, before flying!!

 

This is kinda “Back Tracking”.I am all set to get away from my career worst ;-) but from one of the best environment and greatest people I have been with !!
But, It has been happy days towards the end !! I am probably moving to THE BEST PART OF THE WORLD!! 

 I had to do something to make my dreams come true.
To be Honest, I was very proud and happy to take a new path.
At any cost, I wished, I celebrate 2008 in the super power Land. 

 By Dec -10, It was all decided I would work here.
Rushing forward, and having smooth transition from the graveyard, I had to plan things accordingly. And, I Did!

Had to do lot with my personal stuff and the most Important, TRAVEL SHOPPING. 
 
A Posh shopping with my best Pals, Senthil and Vel. Thank you guys for being with me.
Took off to home to be with my family for four days, and an
usual trip to my half sister’s house- my second home and finally back in Chennai.

Doing some shopping, I was now closing on to the last 24 hrs in the Subcontinent.  

I Amaze MYSELF!

 

If u read below, it may seems I’m a serious person, but in real I’m crazy….
Its not going to be a heroic tale..
I’m a person running parallel to you for a while in Life.
The Plan: To acheive the freedom from expectation.
The Method: Improvisation
The further I travel, the more my world is going to change.
ANAND KANNAN, this is how somebody identifies me in this earth. Like tamil poetry., love to read rebels history, aircrash investigation. Like Rash driving.. fallen down so many times.!
Expect the Mr.Unexpected, thats me. Its my LIFE, I live as I wish.. I enjoy as much as possible.., no rules without hurting anybody in this world…. Total freak….
My principle in life is simple, give when u have and take when u need..!
I’m not sure whether I was born innocent, but taught never to retreat and surrender. I always come back and make sure to meet my fear. I hate sentiments especially a lot. The voice inside me never left me alone and bad…
I’m not afraid of my failures. I’m not perfect but trying to be one.
I love taking revenge of my enemies in my own sweet way. I was smart in taking revenge. So dont mess up with me. lol..!!!
Though it seems I accept you, I always believe in myself and never let anyone to spoil or destroy my dreamz…
Sounds crazy isn’t it…? Thats me, Anand, be smart to understand me.

I have couple of my own policies, ‘Be a Friend to everyone’, ‘Nobody is incapable’, ‘Dont divide people by racism, religion or caste’, ‘Dont allow fear to capture you’, ‘Give anything for friend’, ‘No dowry / bribe ‘ and finally be Loyal… ‘Keep up the promise’
No one gives it to you, You have to take it.

Welcome To My New World

Hi Dear,Hey, my very first post. So excited about the whole thing. Was thinking of creating my blog for a long long time, but never really got around to it. Finally did it today!This is gonna be My New world. Hope you enjoy my new one !!

Lemme start my blog with something I have been with, a few months back in India. It is called ‘Smelling the roses’. Here goes:8.00 A.M. Morning alarm goes off…….
8.10 A.M. You get out of bed grumbling……..
8.30 A.M. A quick glance at the headlines in Internet…….
8.45 A.M. Go for a bath……..
9.00 A.M. Decide your schedule for the day………
9.30 A.M. Start for office……..
11.00 A.M. Reach office…….. Doing all Crap things.
8.30 P.M. Reach home from office…….have dinner, watch T.V., go to sleep……Sounds familiar? This is the normal daily routine for most office goers of today.

Whatever be your role in the organisation, you have to slog it out. You have to give your best in order to survive. Times are tough.You leave for work when the dawn has just(For me??) broken and reach home hours after the sun has set. Chances are you are becoming a workaholic, just like thousands of other career-minded people. “There is no time to stand and stare.” So when do you smell the roses?

Meanwhile, I have ensured that I take the time off from my busy(??) schedule for a friendly chat with that long-lost college pal. Take the time to reply to all those e-mails/calls received from well-meaning friends and relatives. Take the time to have a word with your parents. Take the time to hug and tell a sweet something. Take the time to affectionately pat the back of your neighbour’s kid and say ‘Hi!’ to your neighbour. Take the time off for your favourite hobby. Take the time to listen to the music in the morning. Take the time to gaze at the stars. Take the time to feel the cool breeze on your body. Take the time to count your blessings. Take the time to thank everyone for the little pleasures in life.

Stop to smell the roses every now and then and you will find that the grind of life has suddenly become more bearable.
To be Honest,……I have done that, Dear!!

Wishing You A Happy Life Forever and would always love to meet you here in the City of Roses!!
Love You, Buddy!! ;^)
