..what we have been upto

Ladies first...
Yamini has recently taught and performed the theme song for Silicon Andhra Mana Badi anniversary. The song was composed by Surya and written by our friend & upcoming lyricist - Vamsi Prakhya. Dr. Swati has been really busy with setting up her Dental practice & torturing patients with tools & hammers, just kidding :) If I havent mentioned earlier, Swathi is a dentist and has her own practice - Dental Solutions (number: 408 531 9501).

Our out-of-towners are back.. we really missed you!
While we were all pushing ourselves to get to work after the holidays..Praveen went on a short trip to India and is back now. Srinivas is back from his hectic business trips as well & is actively working on potential future shows for Aavakai. Hymanand performed at a recording in New York and is back now.

Now about all those of less fortunate who stayed back in the bay area.. Gatorade Arun aka Thalaivar aka Kamal Hassan.. has been entertaining Bay Area with his multiple talents. He recently did a mimicry show at a Tamil program and it was such a super hit that he is now incharge of doing mimicry and a music show for Tamil Manram in April. Srikanth has been really busy shopping for his new house.. let me tell u a secret Srikanth.. shopping for a new house never really ends..before you realise the house gets old but the to-dos are never completed :) Krishna aka bassix finally got excused from Aavakai temporarily to spend time with his family.. he has been busy at work, taking his parents out, enjoying latest IR songs and is going to perform with Arun at the Tamil Manram show in April..dont miss it. Red Bull/Powerade Vamsi has been been busy preparing for the upcoming dad-hood. Of course that didnt deter him from enjoying music activities.. he sound-engineered for the recent Silicon Andhra Mana Badi show. Narayana is busy with his carnatic vocal training..and is participating at a Classical Vocal competition soon. Aavakai wishes you good luck. And oh, a new Rahman is in the making..as Narayana bought a Korg keyboard.. and is religiously learning be able to perform at our next show. Surya .. (I often complain at home) hasnt taken a break after Sandadi.. he has been involved in a prooject with Srilakshmi Kolavennu garu to compose devotional songs on Lord Shiva for Livermore temple..I guess they are half-way through now. Meanwhile, he composed Mana Badi theme song for Silion Andhra.

As for me.. well, the rest of the blog is about what I have been doing.. so go ahead take a bio break, drink water and come back :) Ha,ha. I guess there's too much of strategy concepts involved in what I have been doing, so I'll just simplify and say that I have been extremely busy with my MBA ..this has been & still is the craziest & busiest quarter I ever had so far (God..the Capstone quarter)...counting down the last 6 weeks and hanging in there. So after 6 weeks when I have ample time on hand..u'll see more & more posts :)
