Today we had a day out with Crescent Rotary Club. They took us from Proximity at 8 AM & then we visited A & T university, Carolina Theatre and Lorryard Cigarette Factory. We had lunch at Natty Greens. Its a brewery cum restaurant serving fresh drought beer. I had pork ribs in barbecue sauce and chicken wings in cantonese style. We had our presentation, social and dinner in the evening in O Henry Hotel. Mr. Gandhi gave a very good presentation on the screen.
At A&T in 1960, four black led by Mr. Mccain led a peace protest in the cafetaria to serve them which opened doors for blacks. Its primarily a black university for engineering. Professor Jag Krisnan (from Coimbatore) took great pains in explaing myriad facets of nano technology and their future business application to a bunch of nerds in A&T. It was probably better in Loryyard factory making 16 crores sticks a day where we understood cigarette manufacturing process. Carolina Theatre is nothing like broadway but still has a colourful history. A very hectic day and we r expecting even more such days in next some time. Godd night everybody.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteJust I had forwarded a "mail" to your official id & smiling all by myself (as most of the time I have to do because of the remote location of my work station) because of the humourous content of the same & bingo I recieve your mail.
Well there is buzz in the air about some highlights of the ongoing appraisal times & the outcome of the same but pardon me I as I wouldnt be able to share the same in this public forum.
But all the excitement pales into insignificance compared to the times you are leading there "onsite"...looking forward to some more plearurable reading.
Doyel.
