'M' talks to 'R' !!! [Gossip]

It is an open secret that these two 'friends' are not exactly the best of pals. One may not use the word 'Cold War' to describe their friendship, but it sure ain't one of closeness. No particular reason has been quoted for this tug-of-war, but seems like it is just that one does not like the ways of the other. So it was just surprising when this Mr. M called a mutual friend's room and asked to talk to Mr. R. Any rumour of a change in heart from either side was swiftly ruled out, as it turned out that M had called just to ask about his internet connection speed. Whoever said the WWW can serve at times to build bridges...this one atleast surely did open up some interesting possibilities!!! (With inputs from The Daily Dieburger.)

Telugu New Year Celebrations 2005

The Telugu New Year (Ugadi) will be celebrated this year on April 9 (Saturday). A grand function has been planned for, at the Nagabhushani Amman Temple (near Frankfurt West Bahnhof). It is being organized under the auspices of Telugu Velugu Association, Germany. They are the ones who have also been organizing various festivals (Diwali, Dusshera, etc.) in the past.

There may probably be an entrance fee of € 5 for students (€ 8 for others). Anyway just keep in touch with me (Bhuvan) for further updates. Students of FH Darmstadt may also contact Ms. Sridevi Gollapalli of M.Sc. Electrical Engg. WS 2004 batch. Her husband Mr. Immanuel Gollapalli is the General Secretary of the Association, in-charge of organizing the function.

As part of the function, various cultural events have been planned (à la Dusshera / Diwali celebrations), as also Dinner (read F-O-O-D). All are invited to the celebrations.
