Understanding the meaning of "Yes and No"

She says - "If you write about me in your blog, you may not find any content to write about me in the future"

She again says - "Why dint you write about me in your blog ?"

She says - "I dont want to talk with you"

She immediately requests - "Friends?"

She says - "I am asking you too many questions"

She immediately asks - "Did you watch Lord of the Rings?"

She says - "I want to eat only one chocolate per day"

She immediately grabs the second one.

She says " You are too sensitive"

She immediately says - "I want to go home. I am missing it"

I am happy to be " I, me and You".

Uff.. I hope I am dreaming too much. Enough for the day .. Its 4.35 AM.... :((((

Congratulations to Sandesh and Saranyan

Finally, Sandesh's dream to go onsite is fulfilled. I think he might have reached US by this time.

Anyways, Congrats Sandesh and I wish you all the best.

Saranyan cracked CAT and got into IIM A. Congratulations to him as well. He finally did it. He was the first one in our batch to get a call from IIM and now he finally got into IIM A. All the best mami. Enjoyyy !!!

Happy Birthday Sister...

To start with, "Best wishes to my sister. Let her dreams come true in this year." Another way of wishing and the wishing style that is stored in my mind (right after reading the sms in my sis's mobile on apr 23rd, 2007) - " I wish you all the best for all your future endeavors. Have a great year ahead and enjoy." I think I have done my job - "passing on the wishes :))". I dont know how many can understand what exactly is going on!!!

Now its 3.48 AM.. I have just seen the movie - " My boy friend is type B". Its not a bad movie and definitely reached my expectations. The lead roles were like made for each other. I dont know why but there were six unsuccessful attempts to finish off the movie at a stretch. Today, I am proud of myself that I finished the movie successfully. I liked the way the hero used animation to convey the message to heroine. It reminded me of my past :)) but, ofcourse, not in the context of love.

This week has moved at a very fast pace and I feel like I am somewhere in the beginning of the week. My boss sometimes likes my work and sometimes doesn't. I am trying my level best to stick to the deadlines. Now, I am feeling the heat of managerial work. When I was in HSBC, I used to think that managerial work, like filling time sheets, working on excel sheets etc, were pretty easy and not of any use. But when I myself started to work on them, I realized excel sheets have so much potential to impress some one.

Apart from this, the remains of our "hard"work that we left with our professors is being reflected in a pdf document. Yes, its about our marks. QAM(quants) results were out and I crossed the border. There is one more hurdle that I need to cross. I am so worried about that subject.

I have booked the tickets for Mr. Perfect. I dint inform raghu about the same. Normally, he doesnt like to watch a telugu movie. When I told him about the telugu movie plan he simply said "no". I am confident that I can convince him and so I booked the tickets. I am very eager to see the theater because when I was booking tickets I observed that there are only 6 rows present in the theater.

I hope Sandesh and Isaac must be having a good day - good friday. :)

Now, I try to wish them -

The Lord lights up our way into eternal bliss. Good Friday! (Source - Internet)

BTW, I forgot to mention one important point. Thanks Srilu for becoming a fan to my blog. :)). I am still confused. The lady, who told that my blog was boring, finally became a fan. When I asked her the same, she told that she wanted to help me in writing my blog creatively. Anyways Srilu, I am eagerly waiting for your inputs.

Thats it...

Apologies to Lokesh :(((

For the first time I felt something bad about my blog. I felt bad for two reasons.

In one of my previous posts I mentioned something about Lokesh and it was absolutely a "lie". I am sorry about that. Just because of such a thing, I dont want to upset him nor our friendship. I hope that "third person" can understand this. Whatever it is, once again, I am sorry.

The second reason was about giving my blog address to my friend at Siemens. Somehow, ego came into picture and played its role. But one thing was sure, I shouldn't have done that way.

Apart from that, it was a good day. I had some moments to remember. Today is the first time, my boss said "good" about my work. I know that I just have started my journey and destination seems to be on the other end of the Earth.

I felt a bit sad and happy about my sis when she told me about her TOEFL score. I was sad that she was depressed about her score. I was happy that I was satisfied with that score. One thing is for sure - the way she came for the exam and the score she got dint match. She looked as if she came to write that exam for time pass. But her score conveys something else. Anyways, congrats to my sis.

I feel like writing about someone but ..... as of now my hands are tied.

Finally again back to title of the post.. Apologies to Lokesh

Thats it.......................

Anything except office Work !!!!

What a day it was. I just spent the whole day doing nothing. But I really liked this day. Movies, internet - chatting, food, a little walk and thats the end of the day.

I got up late and started the day with a voice chat. It was srilu. As it is, she tried to pull my leg and as it is with a smile I dint answer any of her questions. Now a days she has a standard question in her armory - " Why dint you attend my marriage ?". Though she knows it was an unavoidable reason, yet .... Jokes apart she says Lokesh is her best friend. That is too bad. Lokesh got all the credit just for one reason - he attended Srilu's marriage.

Today I have seen this movie black swan. It was a good movie. Natalie portman, seriously, deserves oscar. The last dialogues of the movie - "I felt it". "I felt perfect".
I liked the way she tried to involve herself into the character.

This week is lined up with some important events
My sis's bday and some of my close friend's bdays too.

An hour ago, Angadh was mentioning about some traces of tiger in the campus. Now, I feel like seeing them. I think Angadh might be kidding but chances are that it could be real. This area is surrounded by forest and so there is probability of wild animals but I dont know about tigers.

Thats it ....................................

Band Stand

In my view, the most rocking places in Mumbai, of all the places I visited, are - Band Stand and Kattur Road. It was amazing. I dont have words to explain them. Saturday's biggest surprise was the call from Raghu. Thanks to him otherwise it could be a boring weekend. Angadh, my roomie, also deserve an applause because he was the one who took me to that place. It was first time, in Mumbai, I traveled in a local train. I dint feel anything great nor the other way. It was okayish. But the most important aspect is the use of technology. I liked the way they were updating about the next stops. It made our life easy and it was something that is very much needed for someone who is relatively new to the city. I want to see the same in case of Hyd and Chennai Metros. After a tiresome journey of one hour, we finally reached band stand and met raghu there. The first thing I could notice was his bag. He carries that bag where ever he goes. Forgot to mention - He carries his water bottle too. The same water bottle I have been seeing for the past one year. I am eager to see till how many days he is gonna maintain that !!! After some talk, we went to Kattur Road. The real fun was there. It has the essence of posh culture. Apart from posh culture, the whole street was lined-up with hotels. The taste is awesome and I felt it was worth paying for such a high priced items. I had biryani there and I was eating biryani after a month. I was so desperate about it. The place is filled with VIPs - for instance I saw a car with number "1". Its just one and nothing else. The car is followed by a convoy. After dinner, raghu left. Angadh and I went to beach and had some snaps there. The beach was crowded even at 12.30 AM. The kids, couples, parents everyone were out there at that time. Definitely something to understand about how India is going ahead !!!! I was back to the hostel by 1.30 AM...

Office @ Mumbai

Its been the most relaxing week. My project coach was on some trip and so I was relaxing to the maximum extent. But I know, it may not be the same the next week.

There are 5 trainees including me. Out of which one from IIMB, one from IIC, one from XLRI and priyanka and me from IIML. We are all fighting for one thing - Pre-placement offer. I find one of them so desperate about it. The rest are just like me :).

I, at times, feel like I was back in HSBC. The same old life. But the only difference is that I reach office by 9.30 where as in HSBC, I used to reach the office by 11 :). The "sametime" chats in HSBC is now similar to the "communicator" chats. The only difference, as you clearly observe, is in the name of the software.

I haven't come across any interesting character.

An unexpected landing at Hyd !!!!

The last two days were unforgettable. I just enjoyed to the maximum extent and at the same time I was tired to the maximum extent.

I reached hyd on saturday morning at 5.30 AM and reached home by 6.30 in the morning. When I was entering my apartments my mom was busy walking around the apartment and seeing me she thought I was some guy from an another apartment. She dint bother to talk with me. I too dint say a word and just went to the first floor, the place where my home is. My dad was in first room and it was still dark out there. He was about to switch on the lights and seeing me he stopped for a while and started staring at me like "who is he?". Its still dark out there and so he could not identify me. And then he realized and surprised and asked "what a sudden visit.? How did this happen ?". Then I explained everything. My mom followed my dad with an exclamation " oh my god! Is that you..I never expected u at this moment ...............". The day started that way...

I dint sleep the day before and decided not to sleep in the morning as my sis's exam was scheduled at 10 a.m. . The examination centre was some where near OU campus. So I started with out informing my sis that I was coming there. It was the most toughest moments I ever faced to give a surprise. I waited for almost an hour for her near a huge dust bin :(. She never turned up. When she told me that she had started I was waiting at some other point thinking that she may notice me if I stand at that dust bin. But it was such a bad luck, by the time I noticed her she left the place in an auto. Then, the chase started. Finally I met her at the exam hall. I came to know that the exam was for four hours. Lucky enough that she called her friend and an another guy. We three went to a movie and all I wanted at that moment was to find some place to sleep and I got that. I slept in the theater for some time. It was first time in my life where in I slept in a theater.

It was a great feeling. I then came back home around 5 and I thought of writing the blog. But unknowingly I was closing my eyes. I thought it would be a big risk writing the blog at that moment as my mind was totally not working and what if I wrote something that I am not suppose to ? ;).

The day ended that way.

The next day is an unforgettable day. The day started with sandesh and murali coming to my home. As it is, Sandesh brought his laptop to copy some movies. As it is, Murali talked about his marriage. This time I came to know something about lokesh. I heard lokesh, once up on a time, used to take care of cows in his farm. Its not funny but I also heard that he used to collect the cow dung. Thats not funny, right ? ;).

It was evening 8 PM and the party time. My sis called me for the party. I thought it would be just an another party. Totally 9 people attended and out of that 6 girls and 3 guys. Out of 6 girls, two were unbearable. For the first time in my life, I got screwed up in the hands of girls. It was a night mare. What ever I say, there were 1000000000000 counters. It was all because of my sister.. she invited me with a very innocent face - "brother.. please come". I felt pity for my sister and so I attended. Finally I felt pity on myself. :((((. But to be frank, I should appreciate their sense of humor. I never expected in my dreams that there would be a counter for not uttering the word also. Ofcourse, this is all just because of another girl and time god she was not there. What if, she was also there. I might have run away from that place. Kudos to my sis's gang. But Ruffian is Ruffian and he is desperate for a revenge.

Next day morning, I am back at Mumbai. The same old life. Boring at its peak :(...

Twists and Turns at Peak

An unforgettable day.

Will update soon.

As written in the above line.. I am updating my blog... (10th Apr)

The day was routine in the office till evening 6. But the real twist started then. Sanju, another trainee, was planning to go to ahmedabad. Priyanka also started thinking about an option of going to Pune. I dont know how what happened to me - the influence of their journeys affected me - and I too started thinking going home. There the process started - I opened railways site and then makemytrip, and finally concluded to go by train. So I booked tickets and everything was set to go. I took three hours for buying the tickets.

After booking tickets, I went online on gtalk and my cousin was there. I was emotionally moved by my cousin's dialogue and again decided to change my journey timings.

I booked midnight flight and cancelled all other train tickets that I booked for next day. It was almost 12 by the time I reached hostel. The flight was at 4.3o in the morning and it takes atleast an hour to go to airport from my hostel. I dint sleep and started to airport three hours earlier than the expected departure. Finally I was there at airport by 1.30.

The real problem was then how to spend three hours there.

The airport is awesome. Huge is such a small word to explain the size of airport.

Few things I did at airport

1. Opened my laptop and browsed some data related to marketing plan

2. Watched a movie

3. Observed a couple and I was amazed by the way the guy was taking care of his girl. It was really amazing.

4. Observed the way a lady was shouting at the staff and she was so pissed off with the staff's behavior out there.

Finally at 4.30 the plane started and ......................

But its an amazing day.. in the morning I thought of coming to office on saturday.. but by night I started to hyderabad. Now I am in Hyd....

Another tiresome day

My energy is sapped !!! :(((((((((((((((((((

I am desperate for a six hour sleep.

Just wanted to answer Idiot's question...

@Arina

Thats it for today.. Not in a mood to write much ...

Ugadi subhakankshalu ...(Happy Ugadi)... Belated !!!!

Till my best friend wished me on the eve of Ugadi, I had no idea when the festival was. By the time I realized and wanted to wish everyone, it has fallen in the list of "belated wishes" and so I couldnt wish anyone.

Anyways, I can wish everyone, in this post, "Happy Ugadi."

So the list starts this way -

Mom and Dad,

My best friend

Anvesh, Sandesh and Lokesh

Rajesh

Murali, Ravi Babu,

Arina,

Srilu,

My colleagues - Manohar garu, Vijay Garu, Aravind, Keerthi, Padma, Sushil

and ((those who were not in the list ) && (those who are my friends))...

finally Ruffian

@Arina & Anvesh

there were few comments and I will reply ASAP...

360 days ago !!!!

It was a sunny day. Around 7.30 AM, I got up and was getting ready. My mom was shouting at me " Its curfew out here and where are you going ?". I dint answer her question because, if I tell her where I am going, she will not let me go.

I went to sandesh's room and he started saying " I dont know even a single person out there and why should I go with you?". I looked at him with a sad face and he finally accepted. After a painful journey of 1 hour we reached secunderabad. It was painful because we traveled on the bike continuously for one hour and in the city traffic. Finally we reached the destination.

It was my colleague Keerthi's marriage . After a gap of 300 days, its because of her marriage, I was able to meet all my colleagues at HSBC. It was such an awesome feeling. It was the time wherein I was attending IIM interviews. My colleagues, after seeing me, were asking questions only related to IIMs and how my life would be if I were selected. It was really a good feeling to see my colleagues praising me. I met my TL, PL, Aravind etc etc and yeah padma and sushil, my juniors. Not to forget, I also met Keerthi, the person behind the occasion :).

Till this point, it was fine. But the real problem started then - "How to go back home ?". It was almost 11 by the time I reached my area. The curfew was still on and everywhere there was police and they were hitting the people, who were on road, with lathi. I was shocked seeing those images and started feeling the "fear of lati charge". Somehow I was lucky to escape the police and came home safely.

It was such a strange day wherein I went to the marriage just to have some thrilling experience and it happened to be that way only !!!!

Stuck in the tides of busy world !!!!

After a gap of around 15 days I am writing this post. I am going through a tough phase in my life.

Last week it was end term exams and this week its my summer intern that has pushed me in to the tides of busy world and so I couldn't write any post.

Two exams were horrible and the rest were also not that great.

This week is a kind of shocker to me wherein I am trying very hard to prove myself. The first day of my summer intern was horrible. I tried my level best to get the worst impression and indeed I succeeded. My project coach asked me few questions, that were very basic and related to general questions about college, and I failed to answer. Now I am trying hard to make him realize that I am not "dumb".

Life at mumbai is not as easy as I thought would be.

Will update indetail about this in my next posts...
