Sweet experience in the ‘SPICY’ zone:

Too long …’again’ stupid me…. Come on yaar… too many things are happening around takin my eye out of blog for a while ( I kno its been ages still oru bandha thaan) :)

Wed locks all the way…. Yet another marriage to add flavour to my travel arnd under the topic ‘Marriage spree’ ;) this time in south India…. And its in Hyderabad…. This isn’t my first time visit… however, the marriage place is like 130 kms away from the city …. It was a small and beautiful town called ‘Siricilla’ … the date is ‘17/12/06’ last Sunday…. I neva thought the night and the dawn are ‘killer (cold) temperature’ range in Hyderabad…. I havnt taken much of warm clothing anticipating the place won b as cold as Bangalore (ithu thaan ‘paruppu scenu’ nu solrathu) …it was 3 am on Sunday mrng I got up in the train unable to bear the chilly wind…. Waz roaming here and ther and askd out the other passangers for a extra bedsheet if they cud spare…. They gave such a nasty look as if I am gonna run away with that bed sheet and buy charminar by selling that bedsheet for half price in ‘chor bazaar’…. I got angry wth the look they gave and din bother to ask any more…. I preferred to stay struggling … anyway its only couple of hours left to finish the journey…

Reached arnd 5.30 am and was happy to see my frnd driving down to pick me up from the ‘kacheguda’ station…. And guess wat he already heated up the car whch made me feel like I finally reached ‘heaven’ :) reached his house after a 20 mins warmth…. Was quacking for a while and the I got ready for the big day… the break fast was damn mouth watering made by his mom…. Idlis, vada (mre than the size of the idli) , the thickest coconut chutney and sambar…. Wow man I wish I shd stay ther for another 1 million years…. Then we left to one of our other friend’s home which is apparently the starting point of our journey… there wer 3 other guys waiting for us… quick meet & greet happened…. 2 of em are already married and having cool life out ther…. We 5 guys started the kick off.... wth cherishing all those good old days.. the drive was pretty handy and very enjoyable… it was very short (jus 3 hours yaar)

We wer jus on time for the muhurtham….. the groom tied the wed knot exactly in 30 secs after our arrival…. (good for him. He got our blessings on time ) then we took the last few rows of the hall and started behaving like we wer in college…. Soon the lunch time arrived and so does our other mates….. we soon formed a big gang and started to quack quack…. The food was damn delicious wth all those needed starters, main course and deserts… ( yummy yummy…. Vantha vela mudinjathu) felt good to kno few our other mates got engaged and soon gonna fall in the trap ;) and all started issuing bumps for some reasons…..we got in to the terrace and clicked few snaps

The second half of the day was exciting… we left the marriage hall arnd 3 pm and this time I joined the other car (gang) weve been to a temple near by… (forgot the name of the place but it’s a shiva temple) then on our way back to Hyderabad… that was a experience… the car was actually owned by a travels and ther was a driver taking us thro… the car was stopped and checkd in the border of the city and found the driver doesn’t have enuf docs to let the car go…. We all partly pissed off…specially me as I was exhausted already… then the driver called up his office and called for help …. We have sensed nthngz gonna happen sooner… we all cracked in to a local tea shop ther and start grinding off stuffs…. Tea, biscuits, bajjis etc., then we talkd mre and mre made us feel so excited…. After 1.5 hours wait we finally releaved and got thro….

Later I joined my other mate to stay over in ‘Hitec’ city….. as a whole it was another typical & lovely experience I always anticipated….

Being Citizen.

Don even think like that after looking at this topic…. Am not being patriotic or sentimental or emotional about the word CITIZEN ;-) jus keep reading …

I was always a hopeless, lazy and 'life is all abt fun' sorta guy and never cared abt the society or cmmnty until few years back…. That doesn’t mean I am now perfect now tho…. However, ther are few issues that made me think ‘Why not???’ when it can be done with out pain… u confused???

I always feel like slapping those flippin NRI’s who just visit once in a year for 4 or 5 weeks vacation and thinking they are from a posh society they keep bashing at the Indian government and public…. The fun factor is that they are American in US and a proper local at ther home (hope u got wat I mean)….. any way I cant comment more on this issue as India is a democratic country for some reason and no point in wasting time blogging abt those creeps…. If you are good in observing by now u wud hav realized that the people who criticize the following wud have been the part of the same problems….i wanted to list out the issues and how the painless contribution will bring a major change in a big scene……chk it out

Traffic:

This is a major prblm the country faces absltly due to huge population and insufficient facilities…. U gotto bear in mind that India is one of the worlds largest countries and so, maintenance and support is not a peanut factor… so rather bashing at the govnmnt. Lets take a minor responsiblties that is wrth taking … like, using the existing transport (buses, autos..not necessarily public) for your travel rather driving yr own car for daily use... this reduces the major traffic at the roads... (I kno this is tough for ppl who are in IT as most of em think they are doin the absltly best job in the world and thnkng they deserve a separate car even for goin to ther Loo….) also, treat the pedestrians and other two wheeler riders as humans (if u notice many ppl driving car keep swearing at them all the time as if he is the only person in the world driving perfect) .... do say sorry if u scare them with yr big posh car by mistake…. (know wat???? Accepting yr fault and saying sorry will reduce most of the potential quarrels and roadside riots… due to minor accidents) this I found out of my own experience…. gettin this attitude Is actually very easy after attempts (don ask me how many times u messed up driving the car…) ;-)

Litter:

This is another factor that makes the foreigner go “yaaaaak” abt our country…. We don have to clean the litters on the road rather we shall learn to behave lucid in clearing our own garbage wth out troubling the public…. Its very common for the ppl to throw tiny litters ‘jus like that’ on the road…jus coz u don have any punishment by law, doesn’t mean its yr statuatory rights…. Specially ppl in the vehicles… rather throwing the garbage u can always keep it with u and dispose it wen u find the next immediate bin… iam sure this is not really a pain but u shd learn to stop feeling disgusting wen u r having yr own litter wth u… (I slowly adapted myself to this habbit however, I still throw away if I lose my patience looking for a bin… after all I am a human and I guess I am prone to mistakes) u don have to b stupid like me ;-)

Manners:

This is another key factor that pulls our country apart… we (Indians) seriously need to work on this… I noticed ppl take ther subordinates (like Manager-employee, car owner- driver, customer-server in a hotel, elder-younger, husband-wife) for granted… and I totally hate this kinda attitude… ther is always a difference between commanding others out of love and commanding others jus as they are below yr position… I will call the later one as “exploitation of the people’s inability” … we gotto respect ppl..no matter who ever they are… and practice telling “Thanks”, “Sorry”, “Please” to all human beings with equal respect…. Shud learn to stay humble and polite (specially with strangers) I guess this is not a tough thing to do…. Wat say pal??? ;-)

U may realize that actionables u have read is not actually complex and can b done by any one …. However, u don have to agree with my ideas if u feel am silly… these are only my feelings : - ) (after all we are in a democratic country)

If you reached to this part of the blog then I guess u strted thinking alrdy…. Being a literate (is it???) u can still think abt this and try to implement this wth yr life style… who knos??? May b u can inspire some one and finish the day with this feel-good mentality….

‘Gaana’ songs….

Oh my god !!! I havnt blogged for ages and I think I shud blame it on myself… been such a stupid and shame I still havnt settled with balancing my work and social life… however, am making a good progress in putting myself in to lime light …. I started loving the way I now work (vela senjitu apram pesudaaa nu neenga solrathu kekuthu…still naa kandukala) I can feel myself the difference I feel with in me over the experience I gain out here… it is indeed energetic… I learn a lot over this period (mostly out of my own mistakes)….. wo wo wo !!!! I think I still haven’t got in to the actual thought for this blog…..sorry folks !!!

Tamil nadu film industry always have a special reservation for this ‘Gaana’ songs and ther is no surprise to see millions of people go mad over this jus like R & B in the wester countries… the beat in these songs are absltly mind blowing and make any one to dance (atleast tap ther feet) … for the people who don’t kno abt these songs, these are special class of songs (I will say it as ‘maverick’ songs) which don’t agree with any particular music style or Raaga or any rhythm…. These songs are unique and u cant classify it at all…. Most of the times (not all the times) the lyrics doesn’t have any meaning at all… the objective is basically to forget everything and jus dance n add flavour to the ambience…. (did I say ambience???)

These songs wasn’t ther before ilayaraja’s period…… and slowly the maestro started introducing this roughly arnd late 70’s…. however, there wasn’t much welcome for these songs in between bachelors of those period (rasanayaeee ilaatha janthukkal) later the ultimate music director Deva changed this and introduced songs that really made many go mad on it….








Songs like ‘Ooothikinay kadichikava’, ‘kavala padaatha sagothara’, ‘aynavaram gopaalu’ ,'Manmadaraasa manmadaraasa...' , 'Eppadi Podu Podu Kannale' etc… are few of his famous Gaana’s… Prabhu deva is absltly master in choreographing gaana songs… I shud say he is the pioneer in this and none can compete wth him in this class….As for voice is concerned am not particular about a special voice for gaana songs but i liked the voice of Gaana ulaganathan (~~~vaazha meenukum vilangu meenukumkalyaanam ~~) though he made only 2 songs yet....

Even A R Rehman started mixing few gaana;s (I won say his music are completely gaanaish) with his hits…. Like ‘Peta rap’, ‘Madrasa suthi paaka’ etc… he is not really a gaana master… I like this gaana song ‘Yammadi aathadi’…recently from the movie “Vallavan” ….lovely song and am sure any one will get the spirit and go mad on hearing this music…kudos to the chaps who did the music(Yuvan shankar raja), danced(simbu & Co.) and sung(thalaivar TRR) aptly... :) oh well..... am in party mood already... crap man still one more day left for the weekend... some body keep me alive ;)

Towards India’s Center point

The marriage era started in my friend’s circle (cant believe yaar I am getting older and older) and I received my first marriage invitation from a very close friend of mine in Nagpur… I was very much excited as I have never been to a north Indian marriage.. I made up mind to visit him at any cost…my friend was kind enuf to buy me a 2 way ticket to Nagpur…


Last weekend was absltly wonderful…Ive been to shopping (after a year) got stuffs from Benetton and a local designer shop… packed up and all set to take off… I was so thrilled and xcited to visit Nagpur as I never been to that part of the India ever… he sent a cab to pick me up from the station …I was fascinated by the streets and the less traffic roads (ofcourse I kno its not much happening place i was surprised to see this as I traveled from one of the most crowded place of India…) The roads are good actually infact lot better than Bangalore… reached home in abt 15 mins…




A little embarrassed to see whole family waiting for my arrival… the house is all delighted already and my arrival added the flavour … ( me so special huh!!!) his marriage was actually over before I cud reach Nagpur and I was quite early (by arnd 16 hours) for the reception… met all his nagpur frnds and they wer so frndly and treated me as one of em… they all wer so amazing and active… they took more responsibility on the arrangements and even taken enuf care that I am not bored at any point…. Later weve been out for a grand dinner and I had sheer fun with em dancing and eating all nite….

The next day is a big one … the groom is all dressed up for the show and the bride jus outclassed any one around making them feel jealous on her..it was quitea simple function for some reason… however, we all had fun being in that occasion.. the food was an abslte mind catcher and I ate more n more… one of our frnd got his kid out ther whch jus looked like made of a clean wax… he was so cute and playing all the afternoon with me and more catch was his 6th finger on his right hand…cant b a better way to cherish the occasion…

Later in the after noon I changed myself and been on a local tour on the roads of Nagpur on my frnd;s bike…it was partly great as the climate was lavishing …. Been ther to India;s center point and amazed to see ppl havnt made that point a big tourist point at all…it was jus another memory kinda built…





Later went arnd the jungle, lakes etc….reached home arnd 5 in the evng…had a lovely tea time with his parents who wer so so sweet during all the time I stayed in nagpur..they even packed snacks for me…. Then, been on the shopping spree with the couple on the happening streets of Nagpur…they wer too kind and got me a lovely shirt of my choice …later I grabbed few packets of ‘lasoon chutney’ (famous thing in Nagpur) and I was all 'ready' to leave… soon we rushed to an amazing multi cuisine restaurant to feed ourselves…its only an hour left to reach station…quick dinner it was and I was well on time to the station... deftly an experience :)

Bangalore to Chennai

I guess I had the longest break ever in my blog (ennamo 25 varushama blog ezhuthara maari scene podaraanaynu paakareengala??? Kandukaatheenga ;)) 2 many things happening that really placed me out of fun for a while… now I realized Im missing my favrte hobby and got back wth an intrstng (to me) travelogue ;)

Its diwali season and the office was a complete bliss on last Thursday as the next 5 days are holidays ..i was totally held up wth my prjct and haven’t really had time to dream my holiday plans….however, I was desperate for a good break to keep me alive…. I meant to leave on Thursday after noon in a luxury coach but I have cancelled the tickets as I cant take off from work and so i booked the late nite ticket in a ‘dabba’ local bus (I kno I have to blame myself…it happens, freeya udungo) I managed to reach home (in blore) 3 hours prior to departure….shave and bath done…packed up slowly and left home (at last)…

My room mate and me anticipating an auto to majestic (the bus terminus in bangalore) and ther u go we got one straight away that too late nite that too he agreed to go with the 1.5 charge of the meter rate… we thought we are lucky and got in…1.5 kms before the bus station I have seen the worst traffic havoc in Bangalore…the scene was like the whole city was affected by a serious epidemic and ppl are moving out of the city in search of a better place to live….i felt the scene like those come is ‘Dawn of the Dead’ movie wer those ppl walk as a group in the road without caring anything in the world … though ther are cars and buses running arnd…

We have booked the special bus and some how managed to reach the area for special buses, there we saw a girl (don ask me how good looking was she…. Naa athu maari payyan kedayathu!!!) standing and talking over the phone and she was conversing in English and trying to get her frnd to the special bus area and her frnd is totally confused and cant able to guess wer the place is…. This girl started to scream in tamil “ayoooo naa enna pannuvayn ithu enna edamnu kooda therlayaeeeeeee” means “I am helpless, I cant recognize wer the hell I am”…(kashtam vantha thaan thaai mozhi thanaaala varuthu)..later we are totally stuck wth our search for our particular bus and cant find any sign of it….ther was a conductor (note : he had a cup of coffee in his hand) ther understood our meticulous situation and offered a free information “bus trapped in traffic for 2 hours…” in kannada…. I can understand we are in deep S**T… I nagged my frnd (he can speak half baked kannada very well) to enquire how sooner we expect the bus …. He asked the question without taking his eye out of coffee…. Apparently the conductor gave a long kannada anser which I cannot interpret… but this amazing frnd of mine, with out even listng to anser, askd the conductor “where can I get the coffee” ….freaking hell !!! do u realize the situation and the pain …u ***************** he zipped his mouth ther after and me, half dead with hunger…. One of our other house mate joined us soon and we got a bread pack for dinner (I have to call it so :( )


We finally got the bus after an outrageous agonial 2 hours gap …. I was so happy to find a place to sit atlast….we throwed the bag on the top and banged the seats… way tooooo small seats for a big giant like me and a medium one like my mate….(ada kaduvulayyyyy some body kill meeeee) 1.5 hour later the bus started moving In a good speed after all those inch by inch movements in the traffic…. I slowly noticed the crowd…there was a just-married-couple with ther family sitting on the other side…the girl was a big mouth and din stop complaining abt one or the other all the time during the travel…(naduvula English vera…adangokka makka…) behind me was a set of IT paruppus(like us) discussing about object oriented programming (officela ithellam discuss panatheengada….evalachum kedacha coffee corner poi kadala poda vendiyathu….middle of the nightla 2 maniku odara dabba busla intha naathariku OOPS rumba theva thaan…kanna katuthuda saami) 2 row infront of us wer a jus-married-couple started quaking and kept quaking all nite (antha ammani konjam over scene thaan… thaangala!!!) a upper-middle aged man got in and started screaming at the non availability of the luggage space for his ithu pona, naathampudicha bag…. (intha ujala thalayanunga tholla thaanga mudilada saaami)

I was too tired after a very long day…we soon dozed away inspite of all those tortures around…It wasn’t easy tho…ther was an accident in the highway whch stopped the bus for an hour…I got up like 7 in the morning, found the bus stopped for a break….to my dismay the bus jus traveled 150 kms for all 5 hours…. (busaa otitu vanthaangala ila thallitu vanthaangala..enna koduma ithu saravana!!!) I have no choice ….i cant sleep ther after…ridiculous 3 hours after that….i was counting every minute, every km god get me home soon….finally we managed to reach home after 2 hours wait and 10 hours travel (shud b 6 hours)….home sweet home…. Ate like a pig and crashed the bed… good long week end :)

Route No. 11 (A Short story)

******************
On celeberating my 50th post :) I cannot think of any other way of projecting my short story in a common area and guys u gotto bear this ;) This story is purely fictional and it DOES NOT replicate any one living or dead. If you think the "I" in this story is me, "Please grow up :) "

******************




Monday Morning 7.00 AM,

Getting up early is always a pain. I know this, still I don’t want to miss this warm experience (???) every day for this silly sleeping reason. First day of the week, I always love my formal wear. Allen solly blue full sleeve shirt fits my physique very aptly with those catchy black trousers. I nearly finished polishing my black leather shoe. All done and there I go on the streets for a pleasant morning walk to the shuttle stop.

7:15 AM,

I am waiting straight opposite to the Ragi Gudda Arch for my shuttle. I keep watching the other colleagues getting accumulated. Bingo there she is, an angel coming over with light green salwar. She looks confused as she can’t spot her usual cab mate in this place, probably the other girl is off today. Her hair is a good example for perfect black waterfalls, so uniform and one cannot take the eyes off her. She has fair complexion and always looks lavishing under this morning sun shine.

7.23 AM,

The bus arrived finally and I was anticipating yet another (not often though) good seat that gives a good vision of her. Bingo!!! Cant be more lucky today is one of the rare one-in-million days. Yeah I am seated next to her in a 3 seater, very luckily there is no third (aka “kabaab mein haddi”) person this time. I was in window (I always love a window seat) and I pretend like sleeping by tilting my head over the window pane facing her straight away.

7.28 AM,

The wheels started rolling after a short pause. There was a sudden break with in 2 seconds the bus left, it was a cow (should I call it a stupid) trying to cross the road with out caring anything in the world. She was shocked and closed her eyes tightly (like a cat, she thinks the world is dark if she close her eyes…. Many girls think this eh…) though I don’t want this to happen, I admired her scared up expression.

7.45 AM,

She got a call on her Sony Ericsson (why many girls going for sony mobiles, whatz wrong with nokia???) I was trying to be cheeky and curious to find the name flashing, but she was quick enough to pick the phone (she dint kno I am cheeky and watching her for long ) She uttered few hindi lines with ridiculous urudu accent, I always doubt she should be a muslim (Inshallah, she shudnt be married…. For Christ sake I don’t want to suicideJ ) I guess she was talking to her dad planning her family outing the week end. (I know its evil to over hear but CURIOSITY KILLS THE CAT )

7.55 AM,

She started to doze away. She always do this, I hate sleeping in the bus specially in the morning. I guess she never sleeps on time at nights. But I can let her go as I will be more convenient to admire her beauty. She looks more beautiful when she closes her eyes (Is that really true or is that only an illusion) that morning was horrible for me too. I was back from my home town 1 hour back and even am too tired.

8.10 AM,

I felt too embarrassed when she was awake ( and found me looking at her ) when the bus ran over a massive hump on the road (bloody driver… always rash!!!) I pretended like I was staring at something behind her head. She didn’t bothered any way and got back to sleep. I thought I should not look at her for the rest of the journey and even I closed my eyes. To my dismay, I slept :(

8.25 AM,

She slowly touched my hands and I was surprised by this and I should say the best 2 seconds I ever had in my life. Later I saw her eyes and so did she. I told her “Hi, I am ( my name ).. May I know your name please” she gave a commanding smile as if she knows this long back. The she opened her cute lips and said “Hi, I am ----------------“ Kreeeeaaaaaakkkkkkkk… what the ****? Another big hump and this time even I was awake with a sense of shock. So did she, ahhhh it was dream straight away in the morning, somebody kill me.

8.26 AM,

I cant think any more, I got the courage all on a sudden and told her “The route has bloody lots of humps and the driver is way too rash isn’t it?” as if I am the only one who is extremely affected by this. She nodded her head slowly with a worried look on her face “Yeah”, that’s it not a word more. She was quite and I guessed that 1000 things should be running on her mind. I don’t want to bug her but very apparently I cant sleep any more with 1000 other things running on my mind too.


8.45 AM
We are just 5 minutes away from the office. There was a sense of urge that nagged me to ask her out for her name, the other one inside me said “no way”. How ever, I liked to stay away from her and keep admiring her physical outlook all the time for every possible morning i could travel in the Route no. 11. “A Thing of Beauty is always joy for ever” and you wont enjoy the beauty if you are with it all the time. So I decided to zip up my mouth. I am supposed to get down the campus before her’s and there it is. I said in the most polite way I can ever talk “Excuse me !!!” She opened her eyes (very clear that she was just closing her eyes and haven’t slept) her hairs all scrambled due to early sleep and her eyes looked tight and tired. “Am sorry “ she was sweet when she said that and given enough way for me to go on. “That’s alright…..Thanks” god cant this bus go around for the whole day ???? I don’t wanna go. My phone ringed parallely, “ Hey man, where are you? Don’t you know there is an important team meeting in 10 mins ? quick yaar” Oh yes baba, am outside the office…

…Nothing bothers like a serious trauma…

I think ive been goin thro the worst time I ever lived in Bangalore… I was having good fun wth my long weekend but all that set to a jeopardy coz of a long and flippin internal body heat that kept me off from routine for 3 days consecutively…. U never kno the real pain unless u exprnce it yrself… I don wanna go in to this as this again triggers the pain in myself… L I have taken a day off to have enough rest as the chair in my office gives me a scare like I will get more problems…. But this goddamn project and deadline really needs to me to b in that day and I found my lead wasn’t happy wen I told him I cant cme to the office that day…but I have no choice I cant work at all (first time I wanted to b at my work and I cannot…so ironic!!!) I ve decided myself that I have to go to work by any means the next day…. But this killer pain still playing foot ball on my stomach for the whole night ….

No proper sleep and straight away went to my work early in the morning…. I had stuffs to do (as anticipated) ….. the early mrng scene I watched was a real night mare for me and I am still in shock….guess what??? Ive seen a dead body in front of my office….uhhhhhhhhh…. oh my ****** this cant b happening… folks arnd ther sed he was hit by a mini bus half an hour ago and this chap was dead on the spot…. The dead man looks like a cab driver and hit wen he was trying to cross the road outside our office…. Such an outrageous death I shud say….


Parallely i saw another accident (no loss of life tho) in the other side of the office.... a tata indica cab was hit by a truck and this totally jammed the whole traffic flow (though it is slow alrdy)...too pathetic to see even well exprnced drivers acting extremely careless...


I guess ppl can understand my state of mind now… I am now really sick and anticipating to go home at an earliest… but all I learnt was tragedic news that we hear normally are much more than serious than it really sounds…. This u can understand only if u feel it yrself… safety is the need of the hour to survive in this killer world …jus a slip in the road will take all yr dreams and desire to accomplish things away from u before u realize it did… however, jus our precautions wont help us… if the big road like that had a frequent speed breakers, the impact wudve been minimal or nothing…. I cant see how these IT companies along the road never thought about all these….waz the point being a leading software industry wth out humanity and common sense… people in this part of the world don’t really realize the value of life(me too in this list… but I atleast realize now)…

::::::::::::::When Lifez Going Monotonous :::::::::::::

if u kno me well personally, u shd b aware that i always like to face differnt situations than gettin on wth watz happening all the time.... i slowly had this feeling growing aggressively on me until last week as life started to b more workaholic and no much fun occupying my mind.....

the remedy arrived last weekend :) yeahhhhhh it was a team outbound training that we had for 3 nights and 2 days.... however, i wasnt anticipating any much fun as i thought its gonna b too official and things will b very formal... my perceptions were almost stupid, i realized this once we started trip.... the place this time is Danteli, 60 kms away from hubli (Karnataka) .... this place is very close to Goa border (i shudve sneaked away ...)

we left bangalore on train on thursday nite.... we wer 70 ppl altogether and it was fun all nite in the train... public wer too good and din bother us at all.... reachd hubli the next morning and started heading towards danteli....Danteli is a lavishing beauty wth fulla thick jungle and aggresive river all over... medium showers there tickled my adventure bones and i was floating
with the bliss for all the 2 days.... we reached the jungle lodges resort and adventure camp... very unfortunately the white water rafting got cancelled at the last moment due to heavy water current ( this current was indeed a shock to me :( ) we hired a training team from outside to carry on with the team building exercises (the actual objective of the trip) .... the guy was pretty impressive wth his looks and commanding tone... the main purpose is to kno ppl in yr team very well by travelling with them and sharing yr thoughts....

i slowly gotto kno many ppl in my deprtment who wer (unlike my team) very good and frndly... we all wer charged up (tho been too tired out of the train journey) for the activities.... we all wer broken in to many teams and the tasks wer given.... it was all fun and thrilling we learned a lot about strategy, communication, collaboration, resource management, adapting to environmnt etc.... all these years ive seen all these only in books... now i felt that all myself ... it was great yo...

few of the activities were very much challenging and taken the piss outta us.... it was so long and tiring .... still we had the fun we wanted every often.. the food was absltly great (my deepest concern ;)) i was in dormitry sharing wth 10 other cool dudes in my deprtmnt... its an irony, no matter how good or bad the ppl are ... when it comes to dormitry and sharing every one appears extremely good and frndly.....(is that my illusion???) doesnt matter i had my fun... the eveng we had the treasure hunt as a part of the team activity... it was an experience... torches in the hand.... dark jungle ... scary night...rain every where... search for clues...fear of those deadly creatures... the funnies part is ..our clues wer taken by monkeys there and the resource person of our deam disclosed the back up clue he had......the day was finally over at one point (no one found the treasure....hahaha)

the night was abslte fun and laughter for us in the dorm..... again too late... and forced myself to sleep as i was too tired... the next day wasnt so exciting as we all totally worked out and the physical activities was not appealing to us at all.... again team activities .... the common thing i observed here is the seniors (mre than 2 years in the company) wer more energitic but was way too rude and were trying to dominate the juniors (less than 1 year odd exp...like me) in most of the team activities.... this is only a nudge that i had wth in me and apart from this i enjoyed the rest of it.....

we all wer set free the after noon for the coracle rides along the river... i chose to skip this as the coracles wer over crowded and i felt stuffy in between the crowd.... so we ( all my mates who joined sap wth me) prefered to have a long and conversational walk in to jungle just to ease ourselves.... i shud say it was another experience and its so ironic ppl strt to flow out wth emotions wen they are excited or in a very different situation wer they never in wth the same ppl.... we all had a common theme in our discussions...its the managers attitude and behaviour against the new bies.... we rated good, bad and worst managers.....enjoyed the scenic beauty of danteli....

back to resort...packed up and left the place wth fulla adventurous and completely strange memories.... this is not a normal outing at all.... for the first time i felt this wen im out to a jungle....adventure, learning and fun all the way.....

mahabaratha and the management

*** (Non) Statuatory Warning***

This blog is quite long and will be interesting for managemnt freaks. stay off if u r not one of this kind :)

*****************************

I t was one of the pleasant Tuesday evening, i shud say... was a pretty long day for me with burden gettin heavier smoothly... it was our department Q3 startegy meeting ( a summit, precisely)

My department vice president is organizing this and I was thrilled as I never attended this on previous quarters… however, I was anticipating a boring lecture thaz gonna make me doze away… The meeting started and I liked the way my VP done wth his presentation (im not elaborating on this as this is not my concern of this blog ;))

Ther was a short 10 mins break and I was aware that therz gonna b a 1 hour presentation from a professor of IIM – B about “Unbundling Managerial Potentials” … by that time I was sure this is gonna b totally an alien concept for me… also therz gonna b a grand dinner after that (do u still think I will b lookin forward for the presentation) I made up my mind to sit for an hour by keeping eyes open and switch off the rest….

The professor had a typical geek look on him… with long hairs tied, French beard, pot belly that bounces often, bla bla bla…. He started and I thought I cud lend my ears for a couple of mins (before I switch off myself) he started in an abslte grace ,

“Iam Ramnath Narayanswamy, and I am here to talk about some management stuff that will let u go away with some value”…

this still doesn’t appeal much to me… then he started with this question

“Tell me my friends, what is management?”

very apparent … any one will ask this before they start any kinda discussion regarding management… (but I din kno the exact anser…very ironic!!! Ain it?? ;)) a manager geek in the crowd (of 100 odd people) answered…

“Doing the right thing at the right time”, he sed with fulla bliss all over his face (finally he gotta chance to answer some one in a crowd)

“May I add……at the right place as well???” , he placed his request in a more lucid manner… I am impressed with his communication …. Very much anticipated reaction from the geek… “Yes…I guess u can” I was LMAO (What else he cud say) …”But I have to tell this, the whole definition is not completely acceptable” …every one wowed at this …he gave a lovely explanation for why this cant be the apt anser… later he defined the management as follows…

“Management is a creative response to a set of contradictory constraints”

…. Some body kill me ..i don have any clue about how to understand this definition, later he added.. “Those contradictory constraints are SWOT (Strength, Weekness, Opportunity and Threat)”…is it???, “When you putting a step ahead you have to parallely work on all these four major factors”… impressive, I thought (I cant explain about how to work on all these factors due to severe time constraint )

Any one who is old, experienced and confident will keep telling one or the other contradictory descriptions… so im not surprised any way…later he was explaining about his attempt to map the epic (Mahabaratha) to our management …he compares the management life as a war and he quotes 3 key factors thaz needed for a good manager (warrior) as

· Analytical Intelligence – Your actual technical skills that u put on yr work… This forms the actual ‘SCIENCE’ of war.. In Sanskrit he defines it by the word “Shradda”
· Emotional Intelligence – your leadership, interaction, attitude, etc.. at yr work place… This forms the actual ‘ART’ of war.. In Sanskrit he defines it by the word “Viveka”
· Spiritual Intelligence – this is the main part where Indians are absltly amazing and this is the key factor that puts India at top in many MNC’s … This forms the actual ‘CRAFT’ of war.. In Sanskrit he defines it by the word “Vairakya”

So to win the battle one needs the above skills and fight wth determination….

Later he was discussing the pro’s and con’s of all the 6 pandavas (including Karna) and how a guy like each would actually be in the management world … at the end he beautifully concluded by quoting “you have to be like Krishna and use all these 6 character’s attributes to win the game” this impressed us a lot and we all din aware of the fact that the clock was running fast and we crossed the time bar… we actually wanted to know more but schedule is a schedule….

Later Im back to my desk to know mre about this amazing piece of gods creation (I mean the professor) … gotcha!!! He is quite popular in google search.. he got his own website as well its http://www.ramnathnarayanswamy.com im amazed to look at his profile and found completely demotivated by this as I find myself not even a fraction of his achievements….. I liked his attempt of mapping spirituality with management and I even mailed him my appretiation with my doubts…. Surprised to see his reply with in an hour wth my doubt got clarified….

This speech however is motivational one for a ordinary developer like me but indeed a usefull one to our managers where I can find thick difference between how a manager is suppose to be and how they are actually now… pathetic… I am now quite curious to face the challenges in the management world …would like to be a manager at some point in my future and see how challenging will the tasks be, equally balancing with my personal life J

No More Orkutting

****ive decided to stay off from orkut for ever****

Orkut is an online webcommunity to make friends... i was using this for about 5 to 6 months ... the whole design was interesting and it is a magnet (i shud say) has the extreme power of attraction... specially with all IT guys... the chief advantages of it are

  • you can catch up wth any old mates through the appropriate communty (say your school group or college group or work group)
  • u can scrap any one (u dont have to be his friend)
  • u can see any ones profile in the orkut world (again u don have to kno him to see his profile)
  • u can upload pics and have a nice and handy album for others to see
  • community forums are ther to have a common discussion about anything regarding the commnty...

as the above features attracted me, i slowly got addicted to orkutting and later i happen to realize these features actually are the biggest draw backs either....

  • --> catching up old mates <-- this is very much useless... may b one in 1000 will b bothered to reply u even if u catch yr old mates.... if u really wanna stay in touch wth yr old mates u wudnt hav lost ther contacts.... for those lost contacts one of u 2 won b keen to b in touch for ever (atleast i found this in my experience)
  • -->scrap any one <-- so do they, i can find many non sense scraps ...not jus in mine, even wth my frnds scraps... most of them are anonymous...(no privacy) why the hell shud some one else know about what u talking to yr frnd...u can mail em rather...
  • -->can watch any ones profile<--no privacy again...this really sucks (specially for girls)
  • -->can upload pics<-- this is quite a dangerous feature... many girls caught in this trap... they upload ther pics and many evil elements are mis using the pics to morph and black mail the girls....(atleast this feature shud b evacuated)
  • -->commty forums<-- people use mock accounts and start posting all those offensive, illegal, idiotic posts that irritates many using it... i can see many useless cmmtys like i hate india, i hate tamils , i hate myself, pessimists and bla bla bla....
  • waste of time.... hours are wasted on this by exploring mostly useless stuffs... (don ask me wat in the world are u doing by saving those critical minutes ;) even sleeping is good i guess)

however, the above are still fun for the fun loving people but literally makes u an addict ... i hate myself to refresh the orkut page every now and then to see if i got any messages.... many peeping in to my frnds profile jus coz they kno me... i feel guilty as myself being a bridge to reveal my frnds details as well ... i thought the whole concept of orkut is a kinda absurd and proper attention to be given so as to solve the concerned negative issues...

this is jus my opinion and i am not anticipating any one to agree with me... but i jus wud like to warn my mates to be carefull with this danger that might take u to any extent.... frnds, no matter if u do orkutting but make sure u stay safe and fine... specially girls b carefull with this extremely dangerous predator (orkut) .... :)

gymming is getting better :)

oh my oh!!! havnt been to gym for more than a week...... got back on last thursday and i felt like everything is strtd from beginning...so rejuvenated and got stuck once i started my tread mill...havent sweated much last week..today was awesome, fell in to my favrte bench exercises and gym slowly strtd to become as my favrite hobby... ive found few essential basics that any one shud follow while gymming....

  • never start any classes with out doing a warm up and stretching, by this way yr body get accustomed to the following hard classes
  • always give sufficient (not longer) breaks between exercises, over strain makes things worse
  • eat good and healthy food after ( a good gap) your gym, remember to stop eating once u dont feel hungry any more
  • drink atleast a cup of milk daily to feed your bones and keep it healthy and strong enuf to face the hard exercises
  • very important, dont let yrself down and stop goin gym if u don get any good results initially, make sure u put sufficient effort and keep working on it -- *
  • never do any exercises beyond your limit (working hard doesnt mean go out of the box here) -- *
  • dont have too many friends at gym, this will only spoil the enthusiasm that u need to do exercise, rather u jus keep quaking all the time...(make sure u r not alone either, that will make u feel gym like sick place...have like 1 or 2 frnds and b with in) -- *

* --> things that ive found on my own experience, hehehe ;)

now ive started concentrating more on my health part (don look at me like that, i work durin the day... alrite??? :x ) me planning to join the badmitton club near my home and try to get myself fit (to the best i cud)

Bommarillu....one of the intrstng telugu pick...

i was totally picked up by my mates for ther fun as i booked the ticket for a telugu movie on saturday....watchng a telugu movie is like totally unacceptable out-of-sense act for my friends....started takin the piss out of me...i can say iam 1/3 rd telugu as i once lived wth all my telugu friends for around 7 years odd...i can very well understand the language (unless if its not too pure and not too rubbish) i can speak to an extent to make the communication successfull...i can say watchng movies is one of the best way to learn the language...however, u won b good unless u speak and practice...i used to train my telugu vocabulary by watchng the movies and speaking out wth my close telugu mates (they are too happy to see me talkng telugu and thus they are kind (as well as patient) enuf to ignore all my mistakes) ;)

with the movies i started liking it from Chiranjeevi's Indra....ive watched quite a lot ther after as i started gettin the hold on the language...i lately become a fan of the actory Allu Arjun after watching his AARYA movie.....then got my eye on Nuvosthanantay nenothantaana , varsham and few others which was sensational indeed.... very recently (oh yess am gettin back to the actual part) my frnd and me watchd the movie Bommarillu in PVR....i heard the movie is a super hit in andra and a good treat... i kno am risking (150 rs. per ticket uhhhh) but im not losing much (its only money end of the day, u can earn it ;)) the saturday arrived, late nite show .... full packed audi. and we 2 are quite thrilled to see the movie...trust me it was a full surprise....the movie was an abslte entertainer with a good mixture of comedy, love, music and senti..... im kinda little influenced by it...



genelia jus outclassed wth her own magnetism...she was too sweet and bubbly all over the movie... sidharth got another mark on his career....prakash raj, one need not giv any feedback on this master.....comng to music, i love the song 'Bommani Geesthay' (http://www.momoshare.com/audio/view.php?play=9e1c1ccb1fd6b73c7e9b79b81a9008bf ), heart throbing melody hit ...ive lstnd atleast 100 times in past 2 days (enaaada ivan office la velayaeee seyya maatananu yosikareengala???) :) i jus fell mad on this song and the funny dance genelia made for this.... alltogether i feel lucky as i cud enjoy Telugu movies as well (tho the lang is no way related to me by any means) .... :)

Government servants... *** depressed with public ***

All the days we've been listening and telling about the govt. servants takin up the bribes or ignoring ther duty or misusing the powers and we hardly see them turning out heroes .... i was off from bnglore for 5 days ... and had a very short but significant issues with govt servants interaction with public....

firstly, i was leaving blore on sat afternoon to catch the train (first time ever am travellin in a day train from blore to chennai) ... i got an auto to railway station and to my dismay the auto broke down, half way... how ever, the driver was quite frndly enuf to spot me the bus that takes me to the railway station... gotcha.... got in to the running bus after a thrilling chase... (college memories) once i got in, was little surprised...for the first time ive seen a lady conductor in india...i doubt if there is one in chennai....however iam more happy to see a women gettin ther position higher and stronger.... ive seen the soothing environment in the bus..the passenger actually adheres the lady;s command and don do foot board travel and stuffs..as the conductor being a female by gender i can see her cautious enuf to get the kids onboard safely.... kudos to the bangalore govt....

secondly, i reached chennai central station, my frnds and me planned to go to movie straight from the station... they promised to pick me up from the station and as very much expected they wer not on time....soooo i jus got out of the station crossed the road and standing outside the chennai govt. hospital (the twin towers of chennai, precisely) ....i called them up and told em to pick me up in the above landmark.... while i was waiting i noticed a traffic policeman standing beside me to make sure no vehicles are parked outside the GH (govt hospital) gate ....i can see lotsa auto's trying to park near the gate, the policeman got too pissed off with this and busy chasing them off.... while he does this ...about 20 m away ther are another buncha autos gatherd like mosquitos ... the traffic constable (lets say TC) got more angry and started yelling at 'em... i was standing ther watching all these.... he slowly cme nearer to me and i can see how much he was hurt with the public....every auto driver swears at him wen they wer been chased off... the TC was too hurt by this and sharing his grief wth me... ALL FOR DOING MY JOB..... and this was so different for me...first time i can feel him from his shoes.... i jus told em that they are really great and keep up the spirit (the least i cud do for him) .....

thirdly, after late nite move...my frnds and me gettin back home in the car.... we wer stopped by a group of police near t nagar... (this was 2 or 3 days before independence day and wen ther was a heavy bomb scare...) i din botherd as i have got the reason and the movie tickets as proof to roam around at the middle of the nite.... the police man enquired us wer too rude and straight away shoutin at us asking for the reason and we told em.... later he spotted my bag and askd waz in that...my frnd got angry and anserd in a rude voice tellin "Its my frnds bag and he is jus back from blore..." the police askd him to open it up and i told my frnd to b polite and the police wer doin ther duty wat they supposed to..... i dunno if the police heard this out and suddenly his voice turnd low and askd us to leave .... with out chkng the bag..... may b is that wat the govt sector ppl expctng from the public ...CO OPERATION....

i should say the public have equal responsiblty for the back logs.... may b we all are human and prone to mistakes....but accpeting it and if u see all these (traffic police, cops, other govt officers) as ur frnds and talk wth a smile may turn it out to be good and change the system slowly... if u see this blog as a public service message take it otherwise it is only my opinion.... :)

Paradox ....

i jus got these paradoxes from some wer.... paradoxes are contradictory statements that may nonetheless be true.... u wudve seen this in lotsa indian movies as part of the comedy track.... n e way here are few interstng ones....

1. a man bot a ring for hs wife for 200 bucks. however, hs wife didnt like the ring & requested hs hubby to replace it with a more beautiful 1. the next day the man went to the shop and gave back the ring and selected a 400buck ring instead. as the shopkiper gav hm the ring, he started hs way back without payin for it. the shopkiper ws amazd & askd for the paymnt. the man replied - 'ystrde i paid 200 for the ring & 2day i gav u back the ring bt i didnt tek back the money. so u r paid in full'. saying ths he got away in pride. -------------------------- whr's the catch???????????

2. The barber paradox:In a certain village there is a man, so the paradox runs, who is a barber; this barber shaves all and only those men in the village who do not shave themselves. Query: Does the barber shave himself?Any man in this village is shaved by the barber if and only if he is not shaved by himself. Therefore in particular the barber shaves himself if and only if he does not. We are in trouble if we say the barber shaves himself and we are in trouble if we say he does not.


3."I always lie" is a paradox because if it is true it must be false.

4. "The following sentence is correct. The previous sentence is wrong."


plz do comment me if u happen to kno any more paradox by any chance.... i luv to see those.... :)

***swamped with life***

eh??? i can see u all unwillingly puzzled with this title arent ya???.... well am not really in a cheer mood for past few days..... (very apparent!!!! cant write the reasons out here) .... but i feel like i really need a break...im a little confused wth how to live my life... i was actually in no mood to blog at all...however, i need to record this feeling by some means and i am no way intersted in storing this in a private diary.. (i don have one any way...)

this morning i have seen one of my friend's (not actually, but i wud love to be his...) blog... ive seen the updates very recently which is absltly not a routine or a normal happening ( **coz he was expired in an accident, like an year back :( ** )... how come his blog gets the recent entry then??? i cant stop tears wen i come to know his mom is continuing in her son's name.... that really affected me a lot....she waz expressing her happiness as her son lived the way he liked for all his life time (tho he had a very short life) ... her lines are just lively and expresses how much affection they both got on each other.... man if i have a magical power or some miracle i can do for only once in my life ....i will jus get him back alive.... :(

i read this arnd this morning and the trauma sits in my cerebellum until now (i dunno for how long....i wish i shdnt think abt this) and this affected me for some reason....this clubs along with the worst (worried rather...) phase that i am facing in my life.... i hvnt given enuf concentration in my presentation either and i pray things shud change very soon to see the daffodils blooming again :-

germans in 3rd place :-| (u thnk am worried?)

the mity (i think) germans finally managed to get the 3rd position in the footie wrld cup.... the master oliver khan (german goal key) pleased to see he with his team won the last international match of his careerand that too in his own country... he well mite join the german county team ....he was a star in last world cup leading them to finals and very unfortunately lost in the end fight....

Italy got the world cup... i have no comments on this country...a decent performance and they deserve it for ther effort any way....shame on zidane in french side....a man of his caliber cant sign off wth a disciplinary action on him....his silly bull fight thingy on a italian made him a loser in many hearts tho he showed a great performance in world cup....

foot ball is all out now....gettin back to our world...me not feeling great for a week ...nothng intrstng is happening as of now....i am now leading a life of an average soft. devpr's life...jus another human thaz it....not really challenging prjcts to knock my brain....same busy schedule (like evry developer pretend to be ;))

a relaxation in the middle of all boring routine is my gymming every day (ofcourse weekdays) ...im strict wth my gym attendance, its been around 5 weeks and i am already feeling lot rejunevated....few exercise are really repulsive...however they are the need of the hour for me now....im a lot settled wth the gym and timings....goin really well with it... :)

footie in the big screen :)

the friday was one of the boring and longest weekday i had.....i was so eager and cant wait to see the much awaited Germany Vs. Argentina....i was planning to collect all my frnds to my house and have a good fun....but i had the double flavour....my frnds at trilogy called me up and asked me to join them the footie in the giant screen in ther office....more over therz gonna b snacks and drinks to the viewers all evng...hoe can i say no !!!! i was all thrilled and waiting for 7 o clk to come.....i wasnt commited in gym either.....got the 7 o clk shuttle to trilogy.....rchd ther arnd 8.15 and all set to watch the grand gala quarter finals....

it was way huge screen and the ambience was abslte thrill and excitmnt.....ppl started flowing in ...we occupied the first table to have a better view....ther u go can see the michael ballack;s 11 lining up to kick argie;s ass...most of the chaps ther wer argentina supporters and i was very much thrilled.....the kick off started and the game was thrilling to see both the teams struggling to have the possession in ther opponents area...ballack had a header chance in the first half and missed it narrowly.....the first half is done but no goals as yet in the board...the argie players wer looking like bulls waiting to pierce the human flesh.....german;s wer too courageous to take up the fite .... argies are playing under rain of fouls and germans wer over looked i guess....at times...

the second half started and every one at ther edges.....freaking hell!!! argie made a goal and the whole place was electric and i was like jumng out of the terrace....my mouth was fulla nails after since the 52nd minte....was waitin for the wonder to happen...and the germans put everything on ther feet to save themselves.....and the 80th minte arrived...i slowly started losing the hope .... my frnds started taking the piss outta me....crap man this cant b happening....its ther home after all germans do some thing..the argie goal keeper got a severe blow in his ribs trying to stop a corner...he was replace by no. 2 goal key..he is not smart enuf against germans.....82nd minte i guess.....ther was a lovely heading ballck passed on to klose and klose the silent and smart one converted it as the 2nd best goal (on my rating) inside the poles....and thaz it ...my joy knew no bounds.....my throat fully occupied wth the noice elements of the combination (Y-E-S-S-S-S-S-S).....



Klose, the silent storm


now the fun begun and me back to normal picking the hell out of those flippin argie fans....later the full time almost got over...the extra time rolled off too....now the moment of penalty shoot out and germans wer too confident on ther goal key (lehman) besides argie doesnt have ther best goal key....but the history scared me a bit telling argentina never lost in the wrld cup to a penalty shoot out climax....oh my god....the fun begun....lehman jus outclassed and saved germans to semi finals.....joy had new meaning that day and i was all jumping out of josh....my dear argie fan frnds jus dig ther faces under the ground .....it was all fun that nite and rushed back home wth lotsa satisfaction....

the next day was england Vs. portugal....my 2nd support goes to england after germany....i was hoping to see germany Vs. england in final.....shame !! england lost in the penalty shoot out against portugal....i will blame lampard (aka idiot) who let down his team wth his stupid fut ball skills....another surprise (not a lot tho) was brasil lost to france....it is now all europeans to fight in the pool of semi final clashes.... i wish germany Vs. portugal in finals.....germany to win the cup....all i wud wish.... :)

Kulir Kaalam (started shivrng already)

been to chennai last weekend....and i felt the extent of 'kulir' once am back to bangalore....it all gonna start again...turning the fan regulator to 1 or 2 at nights....start wearing warm clothing all time (i hate that) ....the whole world looks torn down and everythng is so dull.....gettin up early is herculean task...

how ever, ther are lotsa things to enjoyyy in this lovely chill world.....hot shower, fan off mosta times (saves electricity), gym will b double the fun, cricket is abslte bliss at this climate, long sleep in the weekends will b more tempting one, hot and spicy foods tastes lavishing......i think i will like this part of the year as well.... :)

To proceed despite risk.

words have many meanings and i have seen these only in the dictionary....u gotto pop in to play and understand the defntn.....which literally happend last sunday 11 june '06.... i shud say the best, adventurous, thrilling and exciting mountaneering i ever experienced...

the capital thrill is the whole trip is unplanned....it was saturday, we had good cricket the morning and sleepin out all day as always....the same nite we even went around and gotta carrom board to have a good change in the weekend schedules.....all on a sudden some one had a flash in ther cerebellum.... 'machi...why not lez go to sme place and freak out..' , oh well makes sense (tho it is non sense) to me... 'yesssss' i yelled out.....'i am in too', other guy popped out of the room.....my happiness alrdy started crossing limits...'machi don leave me', one another thaz it we decided.....' wer do we go??? hmmm...my frnds been for trekking to malaya marutha which is abslte thrill wer u can find indias third largest downpour...lets start google those and see if that cud help' oh man this is cool....i was so startled and started cracking google alrdy....we all charted out key places...malaya marutha, hanuman gundi, charmadi, alaynkan falls, ujire, dharmasthala.....

we then started packin up....i don wanna use shoes (i thought i will b fine wth sandals...) and 3 of us did so...camera charged...cash withdrawn...all we need is to rush to majestic bus station....in next 2 hours we wer ther in the bus station....we managed to get 4 golden seats to dharmasthala...the bus isnt a joke...it was a serious pain in my a** nite was lengthy for me wth no sleep...next mrng we wer in dharmasthala charging up for the unplanned future for the day.... we startd enquirng abt the alaynkan falls but no one have any idea...so we decided to go to charmadi and then ask out...we rchd till ujire and even ther ppl dont kno....but one jeep driver sed he knos other falls whch is good trek spot....we thought no more blunt travel and lets stick to this place....this falls is "bandaraja arpi" located 18 kms away from ujire.....(ujire is 8 km away from dharmastala)...

we all finished the break fast and loaded the back pack with food packets, vodka and pepsi bottles..... the jeep started rolling and after 10 kms we feel like we are in some inhabbited island.....we feel the smell of the western ghats as a cup of coffee after 8 hours office.. ;) so refreshing and so energitic alrdy.... the valleys are real catchy ones and i wonder will i have the wish to get back to traffic after seeing this....we are now 8 kms away from the mountain and we cannot find any sign of human existance...we alrdy heard a lots abt this section of ghats few are here...

  • 3 tourists went in last week haven't returned (told by conductor in majestic)
  • naxelites prone area (told by my frnds alrdy been ther)
  • abslte dangerous wth wild predators (almost every one told this)

as we all dynamic, courageous and stupids for some reason ;) we never cared and more thrilled to see this...we started discussing the fail safe procedure (come on... we all literates!!!) ooops...we reached the entry point....and the land mark is a lovely jungle house ...looks like more ppl living in this part....good we got a shelter if anything goes wrong...my mate immediately clicked the place....the jeep driver given few handy instructions and tips ...he promised he'll b back arnd 4 pm to pick us....the jeep sailed away in the H2O occupied slushy soil....we turned back to the mountain...now we slowly started feelin the scare (all we waited for...)

i immedly changed myself....got my 3/4 th and sleeveless on ....tighten the backup....drinks on the hands...lets move....the place was an absolute bliss...we started shouting dancing and singing all the way...the forest was real wild and gettin more and more denser as we walkng.... we saw a little hut after 15 mins navigation and the mates living ther showd the direction...the way is completely scrambled and we gotto backtrack few times.....

at one point we wer stuck and i was looking for better way to progress.....HOLY SHITTTT!!! therz a leech in my leg....i never seen one crawling in my foot ever before in my life and i screamed at first instance...however i havent felt any pain....every one else wer little scared...one of the mates jus plucked it and throwd it away...we thought we gotto b carefull....nothng stopped our invasion tho...we still kept walking...slowly every had couple of leeches....and we found out the reason...wen ever we stop for a minte rest therz sure a couple of leeches get sticks in to our body....so we decided not to halt the body movement at any point....

now, this is the moment of pain and agony....

one of us alrdy tired and worried...i was quite excited still as i havent been a big victim of leeches...we walkd for another 1 hour and finally we sensed the water flow around and ther it is....we still havent gone to the main falls as we don have any idea abt how far is that...we alrdy climbed 7 kms and we are exhausted as we cannot rest any wer...we gathered in a rock and started making a leech check in the body and found atleast half a dozen in every one apart from those crawling on the way....god damn...those flippin predators starts growin as they drink more blood....i clicked my own feet....blood all over the rocks and we decided not to take any bath or move any further ....the sky slowly gettin dark and the fear factor is rising up....

ive read some wer...alcohol is the big enemy of leeches...i opened a vodka bottle and poured a bit on a leech and the experiment was success (i kno my ethics is not to kill any livings...but im not good enuf to giv my life to save smethng else) i have no other choice...we all opend the vodka and poured it all over the body to protect ourselves...and started moving down to the best speed...the way down was really steep and things are not easy at all...

  • no proper sleep last nite..
  • body pain all over alrdy
  • 1 hour walk in the dense forest
  • on top of that all 1 hour we wer climbing in the mountain
  • blood oozing out for every one
  • tired tired more tired....god save us

felt the adrenaline already and all our target was get back to the entry poin asap...i missed the bath :( after 30 mins struggle we found the hut in the middle of the forest....the chap ther was kind enuf and showed us a leech free zone wer in we cud have a decent bath and yessss.....sense of relaxation havent been better...we all jus jumped in and had a long bath to ease the pain.....no one have felt the hunger until that point...we started opening the food packets and eaten up as we are in the water flow....

later got back and got dressed up...still 20 mins journey left to get the feet of the mountain....we all are quite relaxd how ever and more over we hav crossed those evil predator's zone... one of us thought wat happen if some one fainted at the hill top for some reason.....the unanymous answer "death!!! precisely in 1 hour" the leeches will have a good nights treat .... oh my!!!

we all happy now and singed our way back down.....we reached the pick up point arnd 4 and the jeep was 15 mins late....we jus feared wat happens if the jeep doesnt come...uhhhhhhhhh :-o we all wer exhausted and rushed our way back to dharmastala bus station....we immdly gotta local bus back to bangalore...again jam packed fulla pain....we any way happy to b back wth out any major trauma....we wer back in banglore arnd 2.30....and back home arnd 3 am.....i was all happy until i thought of this "I NEED TO GET UP IN 3 HOURS AND GO TO OFFICE"

Pudhupetai and Davinicci code....

really really busy days goin on in ma life...wth projects on top of the head i was so desperate for a break....i was so glad to kno my frnd booked pudhupetai in pvr on friday...sooo that was a real booster and started anticipating for the evng to arrive ....my office/room mate and me drived to PVR on time and chilling out at transit in forum...wow !!! man..... i like the place... soon all the amigos popped in...

and we cracked in to the screen...i always like the sound in pvr and cherish every moment im in ther....last movie i watchd ther was Rang de Basanti, sure a big treat for screwd up ones ;) this time i was guessing to have more fun...that too wth all the best movie buffs around... the movie started well and kept good phase until the intervel...after that i was feeling like walking out of the cinema...neva thought will b such a crap 2nd half....i liked the music and the cinematography of the movie....gives a feel like watchng a hollywood movie....lengthy movie is always a real pain in the neck...this is no lesser...ahhhhhh....we all felt totally screwd wen walkng out...

the next day it was the davincci code day.....evng show again and we wer chilling out all day doin nothing.....not even cricket...the chill wther makes living things lazy a lot.... the davincci code is a good theme ....all abt unlocking the symbols and codes to find out the holy grail.....ive read few chapters in the book and the movie is not an exact replica tho....hoe ever, i appreciate the cinematography and the screenplay....

sunday was all strenuous playing cricket both in the mrng and evng...i din feel the excitement tho it was an entertaining week end....

Spiritual Weekend :)

can't b very excited tho.... the weekend was all a different...20 may (saturday) was my bday... and this time very unusually was too quite... am so happy, for da first time in ma life i gotta call from my dad at 12 midnite......wishing me....followed by my bro and that really was a booster for me as i neva expcted them to wish me at dat time...no shouts, no cakes, no bangs nothng this time...it was all quite and i really liked this silence ...was watchng movie all nite (i always do on weekends) slept late....next mrng gotup and my mom rushed me to dress up and ther starts my temple saga....


my homies wished me and slowly i strtd gettin calls all over ..... felt a bit happy as they still rmber this date tho am not wiv any of those fr atleast past 8 months... off to temple (ragi gudda) near by as my mom booked for a pooja at 11 ....which is way lengthy and we all made sit for hours.....i liked it for my mums satisfaction....then back home and slept all day....later gatherd my mates to a near by restrnt to cherish the day....


the next day again the temple visits continued...this time i got my frnds car and started the journey wth my mom, my other house mate and her grandmom....it was a pretty hectic to drive even in a clean sunday ...however thaz the best option if u wanna take elderly ladies to anywer.... this time its ISKCON and this is my 3rd time visit and i really anticipated this visit as i always like the ambience in the temple....

ISKCON

Later proceded to tha anjaneya temple nearer to ISKCON....i hate the parking thingy every wer as it really was a big 'pain in the neck' work... then we wer heading to bull temple which is quite far from ISKCON.... we aptly reachd govardan temple jus before it closes...the temple is quite different as its been set up like shri krishna lifting the mountain to save the villagers....and finally we got in to bull temple which is pretty catchty wth amazing parks surrounded....


The royal ladies in Basavangudi :)


Back hme arnd late after noon....was really tired to do anything else and slept again....that ends our 'tour of temples' tour and the spiritual weekend.... the weekend was indeed different and it was a 'silent bliss' for me all 2 days.... :)

when going gets tuf....tuf gets goin... :(

Yesterday i shud say one of the pretty strenuous day in ma life...this week so far being pretty tight wth my project in peak stage.....new issues raising one after the other and that really pissing me off...n e way....i have no other choice and part of the adventure i presume ;) ive been wrkng 8 am to 7 pm (very unusual me stayng this longed every day...) this week and yday i was totally tired after work.....i wrapped up arnd 6.55 and slowly sailing out to the gates....freaking hell !!! rain ....i like rain but not wth my office bag in my shoulders....more over this is no time for fun as i am so tired...uhhh....i managed to make a good 2 min run to get the bus and damn it!!!!! the bus has not cme yet.......wat the ***** .....well i jus got in to anther bus to save myslf from any sorta infectionssssss ......then i found therz no bus yday to my route and instead therz a swaraj mazda holdin my route number.....

oh man i hade swaraj mazda's as it is not da kinda vehicle for 6 footers like me.....i felt the frusturation already and hoping to get a window seat and no one near me (only then i can be atleast half comfrtble....) why all happening to me one by one...the vehicle is packed and i cant even get a decent seat .....slowly i managed to park myself somewer in that mess.....the shuttle normally leaves 10 mins late so as not to miss any one...yday more terrible, its 7.30 pm and still the shuttle stays calm and cool.....we all are deftly not... i hate these yellow bulbs inside the swaraj mazda's ...givs me sick feeling yo...all windows wer locked, i was half drenched, 70% carbon monoxide inside the vehicle, yellow bulb.......alll irritates me and i slowly thnkng of giving up and get back to office so that i can book a cab later at nite.....well i was too tired and lazy to give a go.....i was still confused how ever....

the tires started rolling slowly arnd 7.40 pm.....15 mins i was seated inside, started feelin the pain alrdy at my back.....i cant stretch my legs either as another six footer in the next seat's aisle occupied the foot stretch area in the middle.....he gave me a dirty look as if he occupied the taj mahal for his girl friend....the gentle man in the window seat (left side of me) kind enuf to open the window tho ther was droplets nagging him....i got some breath and that too cool oxygen...soon after 5 mins the shuttle left the office we narrowly caught in a bloody, flippin, crap traffic which is moving at the rate of 5 inch for every 10 mins.....i just rewinded myself an hour back ..."yes less than a hour am gonna b in the cozy bus under the heavy rain and am gonna read the ON@TCC book and i always luv such an ambience to read my fav author" .....wake up aravindh now u r in the middle of uncertnty about wen u gonna move 10 feet away from wer u r....

"the moment of pain" all over my body is killing me and i have to kill the time so i unwillingly opened the book to read with lotsa intrst on the story .....the book, tho not as intrstng as 5.some 1, still kept me thrilled to continue reading....and as a flavour to the pain some one requested for radio and ther u go loud kannada songs (i din mean to bash the songs but this alien music doesnt make any sense of comfortness to me) ....i took out my mp3 player and stuck wth my ear and playng my own music collection...i thought music is far better than noice...how ever i don encourage both wen reading something... the book is the only heaven (setril pootha senthaamarai ;)) in between these series of hell hell hell.....it was quite intrstng to carry on and i lost myself ignoring all my other prblm in ther....

ther was how ever one line in this book really made me smile

~~bla bla bla ~~~~. Guys always know when to shut up. ~~~ bla bla bla ~~~~

wow man, this sentence i always tell to girls wen im pissed off wiv dem....i pity the guy who sed that. ;) ....ok gettin back to my adventure, as i slowly feel that i cant bear this pain for more than 10 mins i saw we approaching the BTM which is relatively arnd 15 mins travel from my place....now that gave me a little boost and i further (unwillingly) studying...i din wanted to read this faster as i wanted to feel the comfort of the story and don wanna finish it soon.....soo i have the habbit of reading jus one chapter on my way back home...but today i pushed to finish 6 chapters with 100% regret.... :( ... only choice to forget the so called "Frusturation" im undergoin that time....

I finally decided to close the book after 6th chapter no matter how long i have to bear other pain....and god finally for his fun showed some mercy ...ive reachd the place in 10 mins after i closed the book....i rechd home arnd 9 pm and thaz it i had dinner like crazy and crashed the bed..... so cool outside, cozy bed and pain all over my body ...wat more 1 need to catch a quick sleep....

Crappy Weekend...

Oh man... waz happening in my life??? why am i feeling so sick now wth this bloody intrstngly crap week end.....uhhhh.....

Friday night was fine, ive reached home around 8.30 and my frnds mom was ther ready wth the dinner wth a huge menu....the dinner was fine and so the late nite chat wth frnds .... i was so tired and soon (2.00 am ;)) went asleep....nxt mrng 6 o clk the cricketttting time arrived and we all anticipated a dry ground to have a good game and the place is relatively ok but my team isn't....

our teams top fielder and one other top bowler are in ther US tour and so we really had huge pressure being only 3 key players in my team ......i was looking forward to giv a good show...but very ironically i cant make a great play and i strtd feeling down alrdy....the 3rd match was pretty close but still we lost and end of the game it was a bloody 3-0 loss for us.... (come on...smbdy get me coffee )

later got back home and we all wer pretty down wth this non appreciable performance....any way i soon caught my sleep (i really needed it) ..... mngd to get up at arnd 5 and the whole evng was messy, doing nothing and chatting wth frnds.....havent even watched my fav star's movie TAMIZHAN properly as i was in no mood for anything....uhhhhhh

sunday arrived and again it all was like same for me... i sat wiv my laptop to finish up pending office wrk and then thought of cooking garlic mushroom that evng....been wth my frnd for a shopping ....god damn !!! i forgot to get garlics for garlic mushrooms....things cant go worse...i then started cooking mushroom-sweetcorn curry wthout any actual commitment.... :( the dish how ever appreciated by frnds wasnt my kind and i realized tht wth out even tasting it.... jus had 4 chappathi's so as to keep me alive for the evng....

nothing exctng happend this weekend and im desperate for some kinda break in my life.... ;)

Is "blogging", a mear waste of time???

ohhh..well...this is a point nudging me for a while....is blogging really fr the ppl to pass ther time... i strongly suggest not...coz im here now bloggin in the middle of my busy project wrk goin on...i love to blog, infact blogging slowly goin as the part of my office life...i always had a crush to write diariesss but for sme reason iam so lazy to store the dry in 1 plce and find a pen every day to update.....sooo this amazng blogging thingy is like a boon for me and so ther are lotsa uses of blogging (atleast for me)

1. the date(s) of the life's important events are stored in some means so that i can recall those by jus having a quick search.....(recently i did to find out wen exctly weve been on coorg trip)

2. a way to let ya frnds kno waz happening in ya life (u don have to tell every 1 the same stuff rite) specially to those living abroad and whom u don talk or chat very often....

3. to share ya views on certain issues (whch am doin as of now)

4. to relax in between (if incase u r a busy busy one all time)

5. i feel i can read a person's character to an extent by reading his blog (dunno if am rite)

6. for me its like talkng to myself and feel so rejunevated once i publish my blog and invariably it boosts my enthu and keeps me energitic.... ;)

7. you can even know yr frnds views on yr blog wth the so special comments tag...(i like it)

few of my frnds often picks the micky outta me im doin blog as i don hav any thng else to do and am jus killing the time by this means.....i never used to take these seriously as i feel they don mean it...but few mite b thnkg this way.... wat ever may b the case i don wanna stop blogging, no matter how busy i am....it all takes an average 10 to 15 mins to create a blog and i think am doin on an average of 2-3 blogs a week....sooooo if u thnk spndng 45 mins a week altogether to jot down the happenings or views in ya life then i think u seriously need some tea...... :)

p.s: this is only my opinion and u don hav to agree wiv me ...how ever i wud like to kno ya comments on this issue as i really do respect others views too.... ;)

about the happenings in my life.....last nite was a heavy down pour in bangalore and the place was an absolute heaven.....i always love to drink tea watching heavy rain outside my window and last evng i was in my office coffee corner havng fun wth a cuppa tea and the huge glass wall looks like jus made for my taste makng up a huge display of shower outside....i din wanted to work....... :)
