Well, all are going good I guess. I had a discussion with Melvin (my colleague who is joining me for the trip) and we arrived at the below map for the onward journey.

Me has been to Salalah during Dec-Jan 2006-2007 period in his Pajero and he literally is going to be the guide cum partner for the trip.

Lets see how it finally grows-up.

Road Trip to Salalah on 12Oct2007 - plan

Well as the subject says, its just a plan. Lets see if this works out. If it works out - lets see who is in and who is out for this trip.


As of now Myself (Saravana Kumar Paulrak / SKP) and Melvin Kingsley (from Emirates) are confirmed members. Melvin is trying from his side to get members.

Murali, Sundar & Kishore are planning for Egypt. They might come in Salalah plan if the Egypt trip is canceled for some reasons.

Dinesh could join if his leave is ok with the plan.


Few maps as we have collected is shown here - just for reference. The trip plan will be published slowly...

Isaac gives treat at Bomay Dining Palace

Another post that gets the 'first' title. This is the first 'treat' photos on the net - in my blog.

Well do we need a reason for the treat. If yes, here you go,

• Isaac was selected as the 'Best Performer' from his organization
• Isaac joined with his family (Rajeetha) just the earlier week
• (We wanted a reason and a person to sponsor our treat)

It was planned for the dinner followed by the movie 'Chak De' in City Center. The movie was removed from the screens in City Center and we were left with the dinner option only.

First we didnt know where to go. For sure - we didn't want to go to Caravan - as we had been tp that place earlier. Now the choice was left to us, as Isaac easily said 'I don't know the place well. Now, I thought we can go to 'Bombay Dinning Palace'. Well I had seen this restaurant just the days before I left Rigga. It is a brand new restaurant in this place - just near Pizza Hut.

The dinner was good and some snaps for memories...

Lets share some memories and relax before starting the day's food...

Muralidharan's Birthday Celebrations - 22nd Aug 2007

Yet another birthday celebrations. This time its coming to the blog and its the first birthday photos in my blog. Long live Murali.

Lots of pictures. Scrolll

As usual out hero, was sleeping. We had to wake him up from the sleep and dragged towards the dinning table for the cake cutting process. Johnson did the honours of waking him up and dragging to the dinning table.


People were still making the cake and table ready then. They were not fully prepared as we were waiting for the 12:00 for more than 2 hours and didn't know when it became 11:55.



Murali was then trying to figure out what was happening and found the candle in the cake. 'Wowwww, it's my birthday'.


Vasanth helped Murali in locating the knife and cutting the cake. Thats well done.


Next - cake eating.


Is it eating the cake or facial with the cake. Everyone had their chance to do so. With some people eating and doing the face creaming for Murali.

Its Kishore now


Dinesh Now



Johnson's turn,

Vasanth takes his turn,

Its me, yes I gave Murali a piece of cake ;)

Naveen joins the list now,

Lux, you too...


Sundar joins the race now,

And the birthday baby lookeds like this


And its time to pose for some pictures.

Laxmi Narasimhan - Lux,

Busy picking the cake piece,


Naveen & Vasanth are having a good time there,

Vasanth and Issac,

Dinesh, time for pose is over... go and eat that piece before any one else could pick it from you,


Well well, is it time to give the birthday card. Lets first sign it before giving.

Johnson and Issac take turns to sign the card,

Dinesh - write something

There is some more space left in the card... Let me fill something,



Here he is - with the card.


Happy fellow, finally washed his face then.
