Cycling in East Coast Road, Chennai



I traveled humpty number of times on East Coast Road in Chennai but I never imagined one day that I would do cycling on Sunday morning with sun rise across the coastline. Thanks to Suresh who gave me the wonderful opportunity to do cycling on East Coast Road by bringing his own sports cycle and motivating all along the ride. Our target was to finish less than an hour covering 25 kms. Finally we ended up at 57 minutes. It was a beautiful sunshine with mild breeze blowing across the coastline. I never imagined that there are quite a number of avid passionate cyclists in Chennai. Hats off to Tamil Nadu Cycling Club which conducts all these events in a more professional and organized manner. Certainly a day to remember for a Chennai boy J

Business trip to India....


My long dream got satiated of making a business trip to India. Thanks to Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Hyderabad and Werum Software & Systems for making this to happen. The main motivation why I left India for higher studies to Germany is to increase the chance of doing trade relations between India and Europe. In fact the idea behind the studies by German Universities is to increase the trade relations between the countries.


Honestly, it was a special feeling to represent a German software firm for Indian giant Pharmaceutical manufacturer. It was the first time that I traveled with my German passport and my OCI card. It was just a formality in the immigration checks. After the business trip, my colleague Florian wants to see my city Chennai. We had a nice time together exploring Mahabalipuram, east coast beaches and typical South Indian dinner. Certainly an experience which will reside in my memory for long time!
