A 21 Year Old Friendship
Krishnamurthy. He is my oldest friend. We were in same class in Bangalore for 6 years, starting 1990, before I had to leave. We were not in touch and had not met more than 5 times in entire 15 years. Then when I met him, he was still the same! He had moved to a new place and before I knew it, he was gone from there. I tried to find him but in vain.
Then the Orkut and other social networking thing happened and I came in touch with him again. He was in RVCE pursuing his bachelors in Computer Science and I was in PESIT running after a degree in Information Science! Though these two colleges were just 5KM apart, the communication between us was extremely rare!
Then all of a sudden, he asks for my number and says he is in Chicago! This dude was in Chicago! I met him once in Chicago and had him come over to Milwaukee last weekend. It was great meeting my oldest friend.
That’s my oldest pal, Kris.
That's my oldest pal, Kris.
That’s my oldest pal Kris trying to kill me.
That's my oldest pal Kris trying to kill me.
Because I told him I own this building(Milwaukee Art Museum). :-)
because I said it's mine!

Camping At Big Foot Beach State Park, Lake Geneva
Another summer, another camping. This time at Big Foot Beach State Park, Lake Geneva. It is located very close to the lake and is right in the city. Four of us camped from Friday evening to Sunday morning with two friends visting Satruday night.

We had a wonderful time. Setting up the camp, the fire, the food, the conversations, a walk, the trails, swimming in the lake made the camping trip a nice one. We also went on the boat tour in Lake Geneva which is must for anyone going there. The minuses – a lot of insects(bug spray is must) and the campsites are smaller and are very close to each other. Btw, I got an eye infection after the trip; mostly due to swiming in lake without goggles and handling contacts with hands cleaned with plain water without any soap!
Indians Are The World Champions
You know by now. Indians are the world champions! Yeah, say that again, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
Remember “More than a billion hearts and one shared dream”? That’s what I wrote when the world cup started. That dream has come true! Now more than 50% of Indian population can proudly say they saw their captain lift the world cup at least once in their life. Glory!
~o~
Nice gesture by Northwestern Mutual(NM) – The Indians working at NM had brought treats to celebrate the victory. Today NM sent out an email to employees(maybe only to certain groups) suggesting that they may wear blue tomorrow(Friday).
Homepage mania:

I dedicated PraveenLobo.com homepage to Indian cricket team and they won the world cup; they are the CHAMPIONS!!!
