Last week, one of my close friend opened an ice-cream shop "Kold Stone Creamery" @ Abirami Mall. So, me and my another friend went there for that opening day. And since its the first day, it was kind of practicing session only. so, each one of us, took care of some work there. and me, as the waiter. though have lil experience in serving people, for those social service activities as part of YRC, this one is REAL. means, its all about convincing or acting nicely to them... the same way we receive when we go to some other restaurants. among those 5 groups whom i served, one gave me tips of Rs. 10 for the bill of Rs. 80 !!!! wow!!!! i never thought of it... i dint know how to react to that, what to say to him... so, just said thank you, as usual. :) we always sit on the other side of this... so, It was sooo nice... different and awesome experience you know... thanks to my friend, for giving me this wonderful opportunity.. 

some interesting questions also came my way.. and you know this is ice-cream shop... one family asked whether they can just get fruit-salad instead of ice-cream... one other question was, one old man asking, "do you have sugar-free ice-creams?"... well, interesting and funny, to know how people ask question to escape from ordering something, and just to sit and relax for some time in that cool shop...

And if you're visiting Abirami Mall @ Chennai, please do visit this shop in third floor...

All the best to my friend for this new venture!!!

First thing first, Very Belated Wishes for New Year (for Tamil New Year too!!!). Its already three weeks passed in this year and yet no new posts here.. :( felt little bad thinking on that.. so hit new post link and here is a compilation of few (just very few) things which i did in this New Year (till now)..

Celebrated New Year with a delicious cake cutting at 12AM and more than that with my mom, bro, and two of my very close friends Chandrashekar & Raja. It was a very pleasant day to start this year. To add little more fun to that day, Me and my friends went to Oasis (my fav) mall that evening too...

On the second day of this year, attended MindTree's 10th Anniversary Celebration. Thanks to Shyamu'ka for her painstaking efforts in getting us the Passes. Had total fun and the highlight on that day was "Laughter Yoga"

This is the Second Weekend of this year and i went to chennai to meet my friend who is on her visit to India after she left for higher studies and also to meet my another friend in chennai. Had a fantastic weekend there, going to my friend's house (around 20km from outskirts of chennai, still they call that place as chennai), having lunch at her house, lil evening shopping in TNagar, B'Day celebration in Residency (many thanks to abirami for that) and having more & more fun there...

On the third week was one of my colleague Purnima's B'Day (wishes again to her), so as usual, little deco in her cubicle. Also third weekend came little early for me, as i took a loong break from work, extended vacations on both before and after pongal. Had a very leisure pongal this time, on hurrying-up to reach home on the pongal morning, and not much of concern for coming back journey also. Added with it, is the special Annular Eclipse, and two days of non-stop live action (in tv tho) of Jallikkattu . since me in DIET, had ONLY little sweets, pongal, sugarcane(s) and of-course home-food. total relax.

This is the status as of now, hoping for more and more fun in the coming days, And again, wishes to all, for this year to be yet another wonderful year in your life.

Belated Friendship Day Wishes to All... Thanks for all your wishes too... just was out-of-station... but, i spent this year Friendship Day with two of my most dearest friends of all time. Also, it would be unfair, if i dont mention and thank "201" (probably, i wuld call u with this number, than first alphabet), so, thank you very much and have fun always 201.

Also found a little quote/poem/message... i believe every sentence, every word in this is absolutely true. Enjoy It. Experience It. Be It.

A friend is someone who…

Is concerned with everything you do.
Is concerned with everything you think.
Calls upon during good time.
Calls upon during bad time.
Understands whatever you think.
Understands whatever you do.
Tells you the truth about yourself.
Knows what you are going through all time.
Refuses to listen the gossip about you.
Supports you all the time.
Does not compete with you.
Genuinely happy for you when things go well.
