Time to start my blogging again and this time I am not giving my words just like that.. for people who don't know me and about my blogging... This is not my first blog...
I have been blogging @ http://360.yahoo.com/srinivas.rajagopal
I actually live in central Colombo, well Union Place, which is Colombo 2 to be precise. I live in Hotel Hilton Colombo Residence, an 33 store apartment block and can see the Indian Ocean from my balcony window :)
The company I work for is MindTree Ltd(http://www.mindtree.com/) and the company I work for in Srilanka is UniLever Sri Lanka Limited and today us my 93rd day here so I have more to share about this place and my happenings in the forth coming blogs.
Today, after a long struggle, I was able to complete the testimonial which I had been writing almost for a week now for my best friend.. I have already written a blog on us previously and this is one more added to it. So I thought I would write the same as another blog post here :)
As you all know.... Arvind Madhavan alias Thakali :)

Thakali.. dats wat i call him n dat s pretty famous now among all his friends around d world.. It was a bright monday morning, 1st day of college, in class, sitting one desk in front of me wen i saw dis guy, asking some weird questions, i was thinking who d heck.. i donno y i noticed him. i guess dere was something abt him.. i saw a racer- somebody who wants 2 win.. but on d wrong race track.. irritated n confused.. but i knew he is gonna b something some day.. i donno y v became frnds.. i guess i had lost my mind But never he has evolved.. he is so super confident n enjoys life.. which i soo admire him 4.. he is some 1 I look up 2.. I run into him 4 all, esp wen in crisis (which i nvr run short of) he dosnt say anything which makes sense but trust me life becomes so much simpler .. i donno hw it happens but he dos thinks my probs r his too.. i guess its just his smile which shadows everything..well he nvr misses an oppourtunity 2 PROVE that he is smatter than me :P ........ Actualy he is smarter dan me but i just havent let him belive dat.. . well v hav come along way.. he has changed my life.. he s to me like hv s 'JAADU' to 'hrithik' in Koi Mil Gaya YES i was that retarded n am still.. v hav been wit each other through r toughest times.. i kno that ill always b ther 4 him.. u kno y? wen he is sad n all his nose becomes big n it looks so bad on him.. hehe just kidding.. he is sweet , funny, mad, changin laughter, those late night walks, road side chats, movies , railway station, coffee hangouts .. he he - life was so much of fun being with him.. he s synonymous wid hard work n success.. He s an achiever n somebody who nevr runs short of ideas.. he s someone who dreams big n i knw he is gonna make it big one day.. Bindaas forever.. Finds a way out for anything, anytime (Still gets into dilemma sometimes, but ya lets give it to him .. Somehow I feel his ancestors must hav coined d word "friendship" cuz he has dis endless theory on fdship...
I bet he can write volumes of books on that topic and ya most of it to his convenience .. lastly, i jus want to say tht dnt change ever and nevr be sad..alwyz smile, not becoz life is full of reasonz to smile but coz ur smile itself is a reason 4 many others to smile..u knw better...
