The year 2013 experience

GREAT BECAUSE


MRF Formula 2000 Racing Event got me the perfect to clicked my camera to the utmost to my satisfaction. 

Achieving a panned shot of the speeding race car with an ordinary digital camera is a challenge. Successfully achieved it. The above is the result of a panned shot of the Formula 2000cc car I clicked with my point and shoot digital camera - FujiFilm JZ300.

Got that golden half minute to get a click with the Managing Director of our organisation MRF during the race event.
 

That was a great memorable shot because my former boss and current boss are there in this frame. 

A click with Mr.Narain Karthikeyan, the fastest Indian on the Earth!

 

Bought a new Point and Shoot digital camera F770EXR through my colleague Peroumal Ji. This camera is an advanced P&S camera with a 20X optic zoom and since it is not available in India, my colleague helped me to get it from the USA.

My photography skill got mentioned in my organisation MRF - A click of my bike tyre went into the annual corporate presentation with a mention of me. Got me noticed in higher echelons of my career life.

Reviewed a yet to be launched Royal Enfield #Bullet500. Finished 2500 kms over a period of 20 days. Took it on an arduous long four day 1710 kms trip, riding the bike through four states in south india along with some interesting hard core riders. Clocked my longest ride of 647 kms through 3 states in a single day.

 

Luckily got invited to the SUV offroading initiative of Audi Chennai on the Q type of Audi cars.

Driving the sophisticated luxury car was a great experience.

Covered Offroading of Renault Duster cars. It was a great time to get introduced with the thrilling group of adventurous group - "Jeep Thrills".



 

My interest in Bulletering has now spread in my family which ended in buying one more Royal Enfield Bullet 350 (1994 model) for my brother.



 
SAD BECAUSE

Shri.Rajendra Ratnoo IAS, the then District Collector left from Cuddalore subsequent to him being transferred to Chennai. This happened in Dec 2012.

A great experience working with him in sprucing up social media initiatives for the improvement of my town Cuddalore way back in 2012. 

 This was during the kick starting of social media initiative in "Rebuilding Economy and Ecology of Cuddalore"  post the devastation due to Cyclone Thane

That was me alongside Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam which was during the kick start of Social media initiative for "Plastic Free Cuddalore".

A sad time that after Shri Rajendra Ratnoo IAS left our district, his wonderful initiatives could no longer realize its intended fruits. Had he stayed here for a few more months, the Cuddalore district would have been a fore runner in total implementation of Zero Waste. After he left, the projects got handicapped. Cuddalore is back to the bad old days of banned plastic being used every where and garbage being dumped in river bodies. 

Projects such as banning plastic and implementing zero waste system in such a big district would need a couple of years time. But before the fruits reach the people, this bureaucrat was shifted to the state capital. The sprouting of the seeds sown by him had withered for want of care. 

Though this bureaucrat is an expert in implementing environmentally conscious initiatives, his expertise has gone un-utilized by the government. He has been shifted to departments which are not related with to improving the environment.
 

One of my photographs was stolen and used for commercial purpose by Bike Basix,  an Ahmedabad based company selling commercial merchandise.

Now welcoming 2014 and expecting it to be a more interesting one...

Blog crossed 10000 hits

A Blog - Ever since I started this blog way back on 11 June 2008, its a fond memories that gets hosted in this site. The technology called blogging had given me an awesome experience to connect with so many friends and readers which I never thought could have been possible by off-line means.

I had been part of the Podworks organisers and its a great experience to have worked with the people to churn out an wonderful event from the staples of The Knowledge Foundation (TKF), Chennai. At the second day of the Podworks event I happened to start this blog. Although I was writing two blogs then namely Cuddaloreonline and Funnyclick, there had been a blank when I wanted to express my personal thoughts. Thus happened the birth of this Coolsrini blog. At the second day of the event, I decided to start a personal blog and was trying different possible names to register a blogspot address, but in vain. At the venue of the Podworks in the Tidel park, seated in the adjacent seat of mine was Karthi who had then suggested to try the words "cool" or "hot" along with my name srini. Thus the coolsrini happened to go live on 11 June 2007.
The visitor counter clocked into Four digits (1,000) by Oct'07 and it now it has clocked into Five digits (10,000).
Though it seems that I am exaggerating the not so famous statistics of this site, its feeling of pleasure to record these little happenings, so that it will amuse me when I walk past through this site.
Yours truly hereby makes you known that he has got a short and sweet url on the internet http://srini.me/. Now, I find this short website name of mine a much easier way to communicate to others of my online entity.
Thank you Dear Patrons...
