Normandy beaches

















Normandy beaches for D-day history is very famous one. During my visit there I visited a few beaches also German & American cemeteries. More on them in the next post I wanted to have my favorite picture captured – me with the wave rushing in and hitting the shore. I some how managed to get this one only, the funny thing was I wanted Alex to be with me when the wave hits the rocks, the moment he saw the wave he ran way, see below for the picture.


Now about the invasion, The liberatopn of northwest Europe began on June 6, 1944. The Normandy beaches were chosen by U.S., British & Canadian because they lay within range of air cover, and were less heavily defended.
Six divisions were to land on the first day, three more division were to follow up to assault and had cleared the way through the beach defences.
The famous D-day landing beaches are UTAH BEACH, OMAHA BEACH, GOLD BEACH, JUNO BEACH, SWORD BEACH in France.

Good time pass

I have decided to convert my blog into a photo-blog for a few more days, reason being my immobility due to the accident. I need to catch up with lot of friends in this city but not able to due the above mentioned fact. How ever I happy that I’m back with my pranks. This gives me lots of time pass on the phone. The other day I came to know that my first boss with whom I worked was in the same town where I live now. So sent a nice mail to him and he promptly replied to me with all his contact details. That give me an idea. Immediately called him and I introduced myself as a sales man from a DSA and asked him if he would be interested in buying some credit cards. And the conversation went on for some time till he got feed-up and was about to hang up the phone. That’s when I introduced myself and said hello to him. U can imagine what kind of frustration he would have undergone talking to me for the last 10 minutes. Then he said “Nee innum thirunthevee illaya” (translation – You haven’t changed yet) & caught up with some old memories.

This picture was taken during last SKI season, enroute to a popular SKI resort in ALPS. I'm missing sob sob :-(

Kon-Tiki

When I visited Bhavik’s web-log about his cross Atlantic adventure the first thing that came to my mind was about Thor Heyerdahl and the Kon Tiki expedition & his museum in Norway. This is one of the best museums I have visited, it details about the adventurous of Thor Heyerdahl. The Kon-Tiki Expedition, The Ra I and Ra II Expeditions & Tigris are his major adventures. The one thing that moved me totally was - Since Heyerdahl had to abandon his expedition due to war, In protest against the wars, he eventually set fire to Tigris. This reminds me that I’m yet to write about my travel long on the Norway trip, this I would be doing it soon. One should learn a lot of lessons by visiting museums. The adventurous of Thor Heyerdahl and the purpose behind them really inspired me a lot. The picture is the shot when Thor Heyerdahl set fire to Tigris. The picute below miniature version of the ships used for expedition.

My wishes for Bhavik on his adventure.

Weekend bash

As I was caught up with loads of work and getting grounded due to my accident, there is not much activities that are happening in my life. Last weekend had 2 fun filled days.
  • Chennai bloggers meet arranged by Kiruba,
  • My best friend G’s birthday
  • Close buddy Andy’s marriage
  • Another close buddy’s Sriram’s engagement
  • Catching up with Syam


@ Bloggers meet It’s was such a nice thing to meet so many fella bloggers and know about them. Many sites I used to visit and it was a gr8 to see them in person. Two persons I wanted to meet on the occasion, themottaiboss & theultimatereality . As usual one person ditched me, I don’t have to say who it was. It was a nice surprise to see Karthik and talk to him. I got to know the reason behind why he is called as Mottai Boss. Its again the repetition of the same, It seems he was expecting to see me as tall guy with a huge body build and it was a complete surprise to meet me as I do lot of adventure activites. No wonder why people say appearance are often deceptive. It was a pity that I could not stay there for long.
Met Sophia and a lot more fellas, will write in detail later.

A drive on the ECR road on the Saturday night with rain pouring down was the highlight of the trip to Chennai. We switched of the lights of the car and saw how it looks in the night. Have u tried it yet?

This picture was taken in Norway close to the Bergen region on the Flam railways.
