Quick Update

Was on a whirlwind trip to Chennai. I had no time/phone to call anyone or meet up with all my friends. So, forgive me guys. I was there to attend the wedding of a close friend and I returned the same day to Bangalore. Here's a quick update:

1) Ashok Cherian of Soundsuite has moved to Australia. Musicians in Chennai will miss him a lot. So long Ashok. Hope you'll find greener pastures Down Under. Rock on.

2) Bimal Nair, who heads Contract Advertising in Chennai, has not aged a bit. I had a wonderful time catching up with him and walking down the memory lane through the good old Tata Press Yellow Pages days; I was a sales man then. Bimal your agency does not have a great web presence. I couldn't find it on Google. I found only iContract's site that has a jarring Flash intro and it seems no one has bothered to update it in a while.

3) Harrison's hotel near the Sterling road signal wears a new trendy look!

4) Auto rickshaw guys are as ever robbing people in Chennai. Crying shame!

5) Do not take a private bus to Chennai. These guys are fraudsters and most of them do not possess permits to run them buses. Only exceptions I can think of is Sharma and KPN.

6) bLogout: Can all those that want to make it to the blogout but has not mailed me or Anita please do so immediately? Prabhu and Muthu are you listening? What's up with Bangalore bloggers? We have had a luke warm response. And I am being very optimistic. Come on you guys.
