Day 001

Today was my first day at my new office.

Moving from a company of size 50k strength to a company of size 1.5k, was a dramatic change.

Pros:
> U get to know more (since u end up doing multiple works)
> Foster ur leadership qualities
> Recognition for ur hard work (Since not many layers to cover up ur work)

Cons:
> Stretched Timings
> Limited Luxuries (Coffee,Cafeteria,Celebrations)
> Strict Discipline (Ur every movement would be hawked)
> Compressed workplaces

As days go by hope the first list increases more rapidly than my second list.

This is it for today....Gudnite and shabba khair!!!!

this is WAT BIZNESS DEMANDS

After 3 years 3 months, today i resigned my job.

My first job - my first company - which transformed me from a newbie college graduate to a Professional.

As in any list there is only one FIRST place, this is my FIRST.

Guess the excitement of new prospectus shall help me from this emotional attachment.

guess this is WHAT BIZNESS DEMANDS.

Vamsi calling Vamsi...

Dear Vamsi,

Surviving the past 5 months has been a grueling effort. Stranded alone amidst nothing , always hoping that on the next turn there would be a ray of hope.

Trying to enter every road alas none of the roads left to any place.

Spending time only with me had been a harrowing ordeal.

Avoided blogging, Stopped catching up frenz and relatives (Cant explain what iam afraid off), while some of the people even attributed this change of mine to an altogether different factor...and i admit here that it had no influence on wat so ever for me to distance from everyone.

Eating with,Sleeping with,Talking to only one person ie., ME.

My very own frenz regarding whom i wrote Recommendations, testimonials,reserved movie tickets,paid for parties, took to shopping, boosted their morale, offered career guidance, Financial support occasionally, best pals since kindergarten, are to be seen no where.

The very same people who complimented that my smile is my USP, are in no mood to bring that cheer on my face.

I Should Change. I should also think about myself. I shouldn't act proactively to help someone who is all alone.

I never knew that the other side of life would be so rustic,demeaning and debilitating , wherein people will help only if they get something in return.

I am tired of asking the same question again and again "What was my fault that lyf overthrew me from my track ? "

Life is a lesson that takes test first and then teaches a lesson - a quote that fixed on my study table as a post-it note to rejuvenate myself. But waking up every day morning to see the same note there had become so monotonous that even that quote isnt making me run on my heels.

After some time u get addicted to it and there isn't any excitement that it pumps in u.

After 5 months , i felt this week was going to change and get me back to my gud old days, i guess i was asking too much from life, may b the time has not yet come for my troubles to leave me.

while Mom,Sis,D and Sra1 try to boost my spirits along with their silent support , I dream of a day when i would stumble upon this letter to myself and roll out tears remembering the ones who stood by me during these tough times.

Even as i write this letter to u, My eyes are silently wet while my heart is wailing aloud.

Take Gud care of you Vamsi,

Bye
Vamsi.

My Movie Josh…



With not much hue and cry around the movie except for the launch of another starkid Nagachaitanya, I was expecting another family entertainer from the stable of Dil Raju.

We booked the tickets for the first day first show, but unfortunately due to the sudden turnaround of events post YSR’s sad demise had to postpone our plan. Even though the movie was released on Friday we could manage to watch it on Monday only.

Firstly I Liked the Movie.

It has been quite a long time that a movie based out and out on college background has been made. I guess after Sye ,Josh is the only movie which belongs to that category.

We enjoyed the movie completely. Chaitanya was looking decently charming. But I suppose that’s the way debutant actors look like. For that matter when Bunny was launched in Gangotri or Charan in Chiruta they also had that innocence in their faces. Hopefully Chaitanya would also work on his body language for his next movie of Gowtham menon. With a lite beard and oiled hair in the opening scene he resembled Nagarajuna in Geetanjali. He showed good difference in his body language distinguishing the character from the flashback episode.

The best part about Karthika was she never over/under occupied the screen with the hero. Her raised eyebrows were eye catchy. Though she appeared a little tall , her role is bubbly.

Dil Raju has this very keen ability to identify the guyz who work for their dream – another such hunt result is Director vasu varma. To be a debutante director and at the same time launching a Starkid would have drained him out completely as he has to prove himself catering to the expectations of the fans. I think by choosing a college backdrop he was able to strike the chord with Students and masses. Though to make the family audiences comfortable he maintained the track of Prakash Raj as a good Samaritan principle.

As far as the story goes the director chose to keep the audience sceptical in the first half as to what would the flash back episode be. I thought the interval would be something similar to Student number 1. The first half was witty especially because of Sunil, who added the punch lines and comic mannerisms while the second half was more concentrated on diversifying the acting skills of chaitanya.

Music by sandeep chowta is good and I liked the bit songs. The satirical song of college bulloda has humorous lyrics. Although by Monday the song me me meka was removed from the movie .

All in all it’s a good movie with a Message. The Best part about the movie was its all about Youth and as always YOUTH ROCKZZZZ….JOSH

i Want a break.....

It has been so long that i moved out of my mundane life. I feel as the guy in Smirnoff Advertisement , My life is calling me..... waiting outside my window and here iam thinking what should i do next?

Next is what??? When aamir khan says this line in samsung ads he looks cool in his ghazini looks. But when i pose the same to me i sound like a bloke to me.



In 2mnths from now i shall be hitting my 25th marquee...Next is what???

I had a discussion with a frend today as to which side of life should i take. On one side i believe 25 is the age when you need to set out your goals, aspirations and work hard. This shall set a platform for my coming 25 years of life.

On the other side of the fence i am also of the strong opinion that 25 is the time when you ought to make mistakes learn from them and make sure not to repeat them, savor every moment of your life, bcoz v nvr knw next is what..

aashaayen ...
aashaayen ...
kutch paane ki ho aas aas
kutch armaan ho jo khaas khaas
aashaayen ...
har koshish mein ho waar waar
kare dariyao ko aar paar
aashaayen ...
toofano ko chir ke
manzilo ko chin le
....aashaayen khile dil ki
ummeedein hase dil ki
ab mushkil nahi kutch bhi
nahi kutch bhi......

as nagesh kukunoor's iqbal sings....

After an hour discussion we ended our call with a sigh only to realize that v were going nowhere....Well as of now iam planning to take a break

Though i want to yell out "I WANT a BREAK", cant disturb Mom at this late night...anyways shall yell aloud 2mrw morning....Gudnite folks...

aashaayein.....

It truly is a Wonderful life!!!!

Just completed watching this 1946 classic English movie “It is a wonderful life” by Frank Capra. It immediately struck a chord with me. The movie was refreshingly invigorating. Mr. George bailey and his wife Mrs. Mary George bailey deserve a Special mention.

It's a Wonderful Life - was nominated for five Oscars without winning any, but the film has since been recognized by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 best American films ever made, and placed number one on their list of the most inspirational American films of all time.

So here I go to blog about it after a long hiatus from my blogging space.

Are you tired of your regular life? Do you think life is not giving you more ? Do you think your efforts are not being recognised? Or are your friends, family and relatives insinuating you? You think you had enough of hardships and you are in no mood to take these hardships any longer ? Do you wish you were not born at all in such a world? (I also feel the same….:-)…..)

Dhan te nan…..ta ra ra ….dhan te nan….

Just for a moment assume that you are not in this world. Imagine how this world around you would have been had you been not there?

Yes you heard it right.

Step out of your shoes and see how the world moves without you. Count on the things that you would miss. Imagine how lucky you are to step into all those lives of your family, loved ones and friends and change them the way their lives’ are today.

Had the character named Vamsi not been created in this world
• a mother would have cooked any vegetable of her choice (Our daily fight starts here)
• A sister would have no brother to collect her gift from her brother on the eve of rakhi (this year my sister tied a gold rakhi…24 carats gold..phewwww..i was left awestruck as I could not gift her reasonably)
• A friend would not have someone to listen her and attempt to make her dreams come true
• A Shali would have picked another buddy to hang around for new movies (It has been quite a longtime that we went to a movie though)
• A Sravan would not have a person who takes his words with highest regards (even though at times I pretend to argue with sravan just to see how it looks to be on the other side of the argument ,but I give it a thought before sleeping that night..bcoz he is always right )
• A Lucky would not have known how does a “Boy with no bad habits” be like
• A Hasham would have got some other buddy to prepare for his GMAT exam
• An Amit would have had his books intact with him.(I misplaced his books somewhere, have to replace them)
• A Ravinder@bangalore would have spent his STD mobile call duration with some special friend of his (Dude always tries to pump up my spirits)
• A Sushmi would have no friend to inform every time she moves in and out of Hyderabad to US
• A Raghu would have another friend who calls him for all festivals (Poor chap I never called him till date since the time he left to US. He always do’s the Honours for me)
• A tenant would have known how rude his landlord would be for not switching off the Motor after the water tank is filled
• A Balu would not have some one to help him with his Online movie tickets for first day first show ticket.
• A Raj would have had a courteous friend.
• A Nabee would have no one to pull his leg in midnight chats
• A Swathy would not have someone to ping her at midnight 1 AM IST (while it’s a busy peak day time for her in US)
• A venky would not have someone to file his IT returns in Hyderabad (he asked me only once though)
• An SBI credit card lady would have missed a contact number to dial every day as part of her daily ritual (She has been bugging me for the past 1 month daily)
• A Neighbor would not have known how patient his fellow neighbour would have been even though his car was bumped once which costed him heavily on his pockets
• A Sony ericsson mobile service fellow would have been happy to miss a disgruntled customer (My mobile display is switched off just after 3 months of replacement …)
• ….list unending.

It is because of people like the above that I feel I am worthy enough to fail and learn along with success in my life. Thanks every one.

“Remember no man is a failure who has friends!!!”

wat an IDEA sirjee


Long back when i first saw the IDEA Cellular ad campaign of Abhishek bachan, i was quite impressed with the concept. The Series was based on a social upliftment platform. Sometime later i came to understand that the total series was conceptualized by none other than Balki(he also has the movie Cheeni Kum to his credit).


While Jr.Bachan added the much required glamor quotient to the ad, it was the engrossed message which paved the way for the Ad from On screen to off screen discussions.

I liked the one wherein the Village head brings in a new initiative into the village that required everyone in the village to be addressed by his/her number (which obviously was an Idea Cellular number, the brand for whose survival has this ad been made)instead of their respective names.

A week back when i heard that Government of India has brought the idea from Reel to real life implementation by specially constituting a Department to start allotting Unique Identification numbers to every citizen of India. So from here on if you come across more than one Vamsi in your life, i shall be different from them by way of unique ID.

Something on similar lines to US's Social Security numbers.

While initially i was not sure how gud progress would this effort make when we are referring to a country where we already have many numbers starting from Roll numbers in class to Driving license to mobile numbers.., etc

At the same time since this Initiative shall be spearheaded by Mr. Nandan Nilekani to prove his mettle with the humongous task ahead him my expectations raised a few notches high.

Wat an IDEA Sirjee.....

I want more for my Money

Today while standing in the Queue at Bigbazar to make the payment, the person before me was murmuring with the billing fellow over the Quality of the goods that are being sold at the store. I didn't bother to checkup which brand made him so upset but all the while i was making the payment i was pondering over the Consumer Vs Producer perspective.

A Consumer's version of "I want more for my money"..VS "Iam giving you the best" of the Producer

While it is true that few of the consumer goods currently available in the market are not meeting the standards of durability, it would also be worth while to emphasize the role of consumers as well.

Consumers today no longer want the same product again and again. They are looking for new options and wide range of choices to choose over. This preference by consumers has sparked off an intense competition among the producers of consumer goods. Producers have expressed their anguish at various public forums that there isnt any guarantee that Consumers who buy a product once will for sure return to purchase the same product again. Since they knew their competitor is trying to woo this consumer with another interesting feature.

Also the latest innovations in technology have drastically cut down the Production times and the introduction of concepts like Lean, Sixsigma and JIT-Just in time, brought in the importance of maintaining less inventory as a result producers no longer maintain huge quantities of same variant of product as they used to do a decade back.

While Consumers complain that they are not being given their value for money in terms of durability the producers are trying to reduce costs day in and day out to attract more consumers towards their product.

For example many Shopping malls have now started to the usage of Paper bags in contrast to plastic bags which were used earlie. Though Plastic bags have longer life as consumers wanted more durable products, but the time they take to decompose is longer and they contribute to environmental pollution leading to global warming.So producers have come up with novel concepts like Jute and paper bags.

Also these products once they wear out, are subjected to recycling, to be processed as raw material for production purposes without leading to any wastage. This particular effort has paved the way to conserve and effectively utilise our natural resources and is also economical to consumers.

There are many Standard bodies which oversee this process and certify that a particular product is worthy enough to be spent the amount it is being quoted to. Hence there are tough standards to be complied to bring a product into the market. They ensure that a product is not touted to be used beyond its durability to ensure consumer safety.

Subject: Reg Education Loan for my Kindergarten Kid

Subject: Reg Education Loan for my Kindergarten Kid

 Recently the parents of kids studying in Delhi Public School of Hyderabad branch protested against the school management for a drastic Hike in School fee upon a short notice.

 I was shocked to know that the School’s of that genre  (which go with out saying like premium schools with facilities like AC Classrooms/AC Buses/ Swanky School Uniforms .,etc)are charging a near to 5 digit figure for kids upto 5th Standard.

 A 5 Digit figure that tooo for a kid who has not even completed his 5th Standard. My 4 year Engineering fee’s doesn’t even make upto half of what they are charging.

 If such situation prevails I guess I have to raise Education loan to join my kid when I have one to admit him into a Kindergarten. Poor fellow will be forced to pay his initial 5 years salary assuming that they are working as a Bonded Slave to repay the Loan.

 Thankgod they can atleast claim full income tax exemption with out botching up like I do at the last minute every February.

Will my Vote count??

This was the question that was lingering in my mind even when I was standing in the Queue to exercise my vote. Though I advocated everyone to vote and I knew all the reasons as to why should I vote, the moment I stood in the Queue for 1 hour to caste my vote(mind you that too in the scorching Sun at 12.30 PM) I in quested myself as to Will my vote make a difference.

I stood in the queue for 1 hour brooding over the same thought.

Finally I casted my vote and returned home. We all discussed about the Election fever in our colony had our lunch and after that it was followed by our regular routine.

Today morning, after the successful conduction of Phase 3 Polling, I noticed an article in the newspaper. The article mentioned that the Election Commission created history by conducting Polling at a centre in a District amidst a Forest. All the Security arrangements along with the Polling Officers have been sent to the village to ensure free and fair elections

Guess you are also wondering as to what is the reason for this article to be placed on Main page and what History did it make.

Well this particular polling Station had only ONE VOTER.

Yes this particular Polling Station had only one Voter who was the Local Temple priest. All of the Polling Officers went to collect his VOTE and stayed back until evening 5 PM as they had to wait according to their rules.

All this Setup to record ONE VOTE.

Having the Luxury to vote at my nearby place I was wondering if my Vote matters to anyone apart from me , with the indication of an Indelible mark on my Finger for the next 15 days to remind me that I Voted for a change leader.

And yes every Vote matters. Its only drops that make a Glass full, few glasses make a Pot full and few pots make a lake full. (sounds like a Moron Old saying but cant help it…since it’s the truth)

Sachin didn’t become the highest Run maker only with 4’s and 6’s. His Singles also counted for his victory.

Every single run/drop/VOTE counts.

Teacher i forgot my Homework

School days shall have a special set of stories that are wounded up in everyone’s minds. Every one has their own version of their Heroic (or rather specifically termed as Idiotic) acts.

Over lunch today I and my colleague were discussing our school days. Good old funny days.

I hated my School the most but had to land up there every morning (or else mom would accompany me and I shall have my daily dose started there). All the way to school I wished that one of my teacher falls sick so that I can escape that boring class and ask my PT sir to allow us to play in the ground.(till day iam not sure what PT means :-( ).

Being the Class leader I had the authority to maintain silence in the class. As the teacher was busy with her work I would be THE PUNISHER, to note the names of chaps who would talk to one another (and the list had the people who didn’t share their snacks/lunch/pen/labels with me and they used to bribe me with them to erase their name). I enjoyed it a lot.

As a CL I was supposed to collect every one’s homework books and take them to Staff room.(Didn’t realize that I can skip my homework book.) Many a times would end up saying "Teacher i forgot my Homework" for which the reply was "Did you forget ur Lunch box?? No right then Why did you forget this " (Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

Till 5th Standard, we used to have a period for SLEEPING. Immediately after lunch there was session to take a royal siesta. Never did I sleep in any sleeping period rather ended up playing. (Now in office I understand the importance of Sleeping Hour)

While returning home again would wish that my tuition teacher goes out on some personal emergency or she falls sick or her relatives. (I just wanted to bunk my tuition as I would never do my homework).

Everyday by the time Mom was making her way back home from a hectic day at the Office I used to invite her with a smile -kneeling down in the balcony for not doing my Tuition Homework. After that heroic act of mine how could Mom let me have my dinner without serving my STARTERs?

Days used to start at 7 AM and end at 9PM with an afternoon break to sleep.

Envied to be like all those elder brothers who used to ride Bikes, go to movies every time a new flick was released and all this answerable to none.(But now I realize that these are just the tip of an Icing on the cake called responsibilities). 

I really long to have those days again.

Operation Shoe……

Looks like every one has their own reason to protest. When a Journalist can throw his shoe at Ex-president of USA Mr. Bush how can that practice be far from being emulated in India.

Elections seem to have tested the patience levels of several at a very personal level. This is evident from the fact that, most of the high profile politicians have been tasting the wrath of general public who no longer could digest their INACTIONs.

 A Sikh Journalist expressed his dissension by hurling his shoe at Mr.Chidambaram’s Press conference as soon as the Congree declared the 1984 Sikh riot accused Tytler as a party candidate.

 Yesterday another angry young man hurled his shoe at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to record his sentiment (while the actual reason is not yet known as to what made the young man take the bold step)

 Opposition party leader mr. Advani seems to be the most liked person to be hurled by Shoes. Just 2 phases of elections completed and his count stands at 4 (4 Shoes hurled at him at different instances), and he has 3 more phases to go by.

 On a Funny note why cant Shoe companies like Reebok,Nike,Adidas or for that matter our own Bata sign up our much liked politicians as their Brand Ambassadors.

 That way the politicians shall no longer feel shy when someone hurls a Shoe/Sandal (with grease,mud stains) at them. They can start making extra bucks along with their celebrity status being intact.

 What say Mr.Politician????

Where is Recession????

Recession…Economic Crisis…..Layoffs…seem to be the words of the season. Every one seems to chat around the same lines or atleast every conversation being ended up on the same lines.

 Xcept Gold Shops!!!!! I have been accompanying Mom to a famous Gold jewellers showroom in Hyderabad and to my utter dismay I found there people buying Gold with all smiles JJ

 For a moment I forgot that I am in Hyderabad one of the city affected by the recent economic slump. The reason they tout now is “Akshaya Trithya” a pious occasion to bring gold home.

 Though I also went to the Shop murmuring , explaining mom that it is recession and no sane person would step into a gold store that too at a time when Gold price is soaring high. But it didn’t work out.

 As the Sales fellow brought in the models my eyes were hooked on to only one Tag (the red one which made my heart pound heavily every time a saw a 5 digit figure on it). With an infectious Smile the sale’s fellow offered his best service by bringing all models worth out of my budget.

 We went into the store with a budget. And as he finalised the bill, the price landed at 2.7 times what I planned for. Unwillingly I accepted the bill and pushed myself to the billing counter waiting for a signal from mom to Abort the mission.

 But I guess she was in no mood to observe my lacklustre face in front of the illuminous glittering models. The Billing Queue was also lengthy enough, I prayed to god that some miracle happens and they put up a board saying HOUSEFULL (unfortunately they always had enough to sell unlike first day movie tickets).

 While I was in the queue which had only gents with a sobering smile on their face regretting as to who the fellow discovered a special day to bring Gold Home.

 I happened to overhear a conversation infront of me, where an Uncle was discussing about a 50% Off on making charges for today. That raised my curiosity to lessen the bill by atleast a few pennies.

 As my turn came up at the Billing counter, before handing over my credit card I enquired about the 50% offer with a 100watts smile for which the billing fellow answered that it was already discounted in my bill , my last hope disillusioned and I felt as if lost the last train to home.

 With heavy heart I signed on my bill copy , while the billing fellow smiled and my smiles waned away as the waves on the shore.

Dichotomy againnnnn....


With the global economic Crisis deepening its rut furthermore, seems like most of the individuals are worried about their Jobs. While there seems to be a dichotomy about placements records and recruitments actually happening on ground zero, every one of my collegues(along with me) are waiting for a miracle call – a call that shall change our lives from the current crisis.

But at the same time I see some of the young minds plunging into action. Some of them are planning to start up their own ventures and make it big.

Certainly this may not be a good time to leave a secure job, but if u have no other option rather than to jump into new avenues why not consider the role of an ENTERPRENEUR.

My friends are working on their dream projects. These creative brains are working to make their dreams come true. That also wheedles me to giveup the thought of another lush Job and set up my own idea to work.

Frankly speaking at this point of time I have no real implementable idea that I would like to bet my bucks upon. Or rather there are many idea cluttered up, and I want to do everything given I have the resources. While it should have been the other way around, I shall create resources to make my Idea work(huffffff)

ENTERPRENEURSHIP is one word which i have a Special bonding with, not because iam from a Business Family background, nor am I an MBA iian.

Firstly I like the very thought that I am answerable to NO ONE except my conscience. I can implement my ideas, though they would initially be dwindling ones – I think every successful entrepreneur today had their share of learnings from their mistakes and learnt it.I shall also learn my lessons.

Everything sounds rosy J even now when I am typing this post iam not writing to avoid sleep post lunch, but want to give the ideas running at the back of my mind a form. I shall some day be a JOB CREATOR rather than a Job Seeker.

But from the things that I see now, some of my frenz who are ready to take that bold step to step out of their lush software jobs and search for their success are the brave souls.

Also should I remember the fact that, while this may not be a right time to step out IT MAY be the RIGHT TIME to start off giving shape to your idea. (DICHOTOMY AGAINNNNNN)

Re-entry…

It has been quite a longtime that I visited my blogging space. I attribute this partly to my lazyness and partly to my lappy whose HDD crashed and I had to shell out enough to get it back on track.

Now that the machine is back ,I intend to blog with more vigour and wheedle Ravi,Raj and shali to start blogging again. (Guyz look our blog posts are outdated I think v need to sit down this Saturday over a drink and sort this out J)

There have been numerous developments in life as well…I voted for my leader, I started to enjoy life by taking at as it turns up every day rather than anticipating a huge return for my yesterday’s efforts, I watched many movies, did many first things and realised the fact that HAPPINESS is not found somewhere but it is WHAT YOU CREATE!!!!

So from now onwards I shall pull up my socks to blog regularly J

Adding Political color to "Jai Ho"....

While all the excitement about Ar rehman bringing in home 2 Oscar's is about to settle down,seems like our very own politicians are not yet poised to accept the fact.

With the onset of General Election 2009 Schedule out , all the parties are busy putting their tricks to pull the AAm AAdmi to the polling booth and cast his vote in favor of them thereby digging his own grave :-(

Seems like this time Oscar shall also add their flavor to our general elections.

While the ruling Congress led UPA governament is vying to buy the rights for the Song "Jai Ho" (Oscar winner from Slumdog millionare) from the british Production Company to use it for their Party Election campaigns,leaving no stone unturned to take the pride of developing Indian in their Regime.

The Prime opposition BJP led NDA Conglomerate's favourite Narendra modi ahs started to hit out that "Had Congress not been there, there would be no Slums and when there are no Slums there would be no Slumdog millionare and no Oscar in turn".

All said and done, pointing that Jai Ho won an Oscar because of Congress (What the &#(% ???)
Poor rehman, would regret deeply had he known that the fruits of his efforts are being used to reap the benefits for our Ever-Hungry-Politicians.

Ofcourse it hurts....

Yesterday i got a call from a School friend of mine after a long time.

After our usual gupshup, she started to ask how am i doing and hows my job. With all smiles i gave a satisfied answer and her curiosity rose to zeniths..How come if u are so cool and composed the media reports of layoffs,salary cuts and winding up of ur Organisation.

Rather than being happy may b my response evoked curiosity to ask me Direct Question.

She:"By the Way Vamsi Did u get your Full Salary last month"
Me: "Yes dear (with an AWE)"

She:"Oh gud to hear that. ANyways you have you have commitments i guess,So how are you planning to meet them incase of any adversities"
Me: "Iam mailing you my Account Number. Do transfer the amount and i shall meet my commitments. I dont need to be bothered when i have frenz like you (Emo-S-nal Atyachaar)"

She was little taken aback...may be was checking her inbox if i had really dropped my acc num.

She:" Hey !!!Do you know? " (just trying to deviate the topic)
Me: "Would have known had u called me after my last call which was 8 mnths back"

She: "my dad is searching matches for me"
me: thank God..God save the banda

She: "I rejected 2 matches out of the 4 finalised (as if she has chosen the final 2 contestents of Indian Idol)"

the going gets more interesting to mourn for...:-(

Me: "Bechaarey why didnt they qualify for the finals"(expressing my deepest regrts)
She: "they were from Satyam"

Me: speechlessss
She: "My Security is important to me"

Me: "have you spoken to the guyz atleast"
She:"Nope"

Me:"How did u decide that they are not gud without even speaking to them. may be the guys were better than ur final choices"
She: ---------

Me: "then do u mean that at this point of time even iam not gud enuff"
She: "hey i didnt mean that yaar...Did it hurt you"

Me: ---------

iam a part of - history in the making

1 Year is a long time and things change upside down.

Never realised the impact of this in such an elan. Today i had been to Bank of India, to collect some Educational Loan repayement receipts for IT submission.

The Bank Manager who takes care of the Loan's section is a very good person. Last year when i had been to his office for the same purpose as now he looked at me with honor as if i had brought a gold medal to india in olympics, bcoz his son who is about to complete his Engg has not made a Campus Placement still and he viewed me as a benchmark for his son.

1 Year down the lane, today when he saw me there was a spurious infecting smile in his face. The way he asked me are you still with Satyam, u guyz have become the National News, R they paying salaries...(Nothing offending) but curious Questions as he got a on hand employee who can address his tidbits.

I answered with utmost restraint to make him feel that his son still doesnt have a job in hand and i do have one.

But after coming out i felt sad, an act which was committed by 2-3 people has tarnished the global reputation of a company.

Also it reminds me that there is nothing notable to say when u work with a company when the firm is going thru gud times, it is testing times like these that we at Satyam are facing that prove our true level of commitment ,which many others are expecting by means of Service level bonds, and here are we who are ready to commit in spirit not in words.

Case Studies or Innovations happen during these times.

Every world renowned company had its tough time, GE,IBM,Dell,Apple..., everyone fought back and today they are no.1 even the books like Success of GE,Who said elephants can't dance (of IBM) are top sellars.

I see this opportunity as another new book of how to fight back in the making..All that goes down has to come up and we might have gone down..but there shall be a new day tommorow, new hope and new Satyam.

1 year down the line from today, most of them would forget about all this but the experience that i woud get out of this real time learning opportunity shall not be macthed by any B-School Case study discussion bcoz iam a part of ---History in the making :-)

Voila!!!

With all due respect to the producer of "V for Vendetta"...i found the below lines pretty amazing....I keep it as my Desktop intro and all my collegues admire my self description :-)

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant and vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me ---Vamsi.

– Vamsi's introduction to everyone

i am still learning the meaning of all those V's...:-(

Race is On….

During the 2day “Vibrant Gujarat” Industrial summit, Mr Narendra Modi coined a new word, “Race”- that stood for “lower Risk, Alertness of the government, low Cost and high Efficiency” for the success of Industrial sector.

Whatever may the Opposition parties say about him, I think he has been a Dynamic Chief Minister in terms of bringing Investments to State and contributing hugely to the State development in turn improving India’s GDP.

Today Gujarat is eyed as the first state for any Investment of huge scale. Given the varying factors like huge NRI sentiments, most of the gujju’s eye Entrepreneurship as a career option the Efforts put in by Mr.Modi’ to revive the sentiments is tumultuous.

He was primarily criticized for his way of dealing the Godhra Incident, but the people of Gujarat re-elected him since they belived that he was the ONE who can change things and bring in better jobs for their children, a future ray of hope.

Today except for IT, Gujarat remains the Show Stopper for any major investments inside India. Whether it is by decision or by fate mr.Modi doesn’t seem to know what does it mean by “”being Complacent”.

Gujarat attracts investments (Jamnagar the worlds biggest refinery is in Guj) as a natural destination for investors, or proves to be a better choice (Nano project moving from Singur after the crisis had many options but the best deal was struck in Guj).

sAnKrAnThi MuSinGs....

Today its - Bhogi, first day of the 3 day Sankranthi festival. Having born and brought up in Hyderabad I do not have great expectations of Sankranthi while my mom has stories unending about her Sankranthi celebrations when they were there in their village. My mom hails from Guntur District of AP. 

All I know about Sankranthi is home made sweets, Kites, new movie releases (a sentiment for major blockbusters to be released) and yes Hyderabad roads become desolate. The barren roads of Hyd invite us with a broad smile. Most of the NRH’s (Non residents of Hyderabadi’s) move onto their native places and we are the kings again.

 Maudlin at times, after hearing to mom’s stories and today after speaking to my friend who has been to home for Sankranthi I feel I also need to check their kind of Sankranthi as well. Their definition of celebration is to stay with ur loved ones inside home and mine till date was to hang around with frenz Outside.

 Their Version of Sankranthi – Bonfire, Colorful Rangoli (we call it Muggulu), Get together of families (Babai,pinni,attayya,maamayya,ammamma…the entire bandwagon), Temple visits, special pooja’s, especially in coastal parts of Andhra new Son-in-laws get a Royal treatment from their In laws a tradition followed, Cock fights (Kodi-pandalu) though officially banned there are those flamboyant heads who donot care about them.

 Mom says people fight with cut-throat competition to prove that their Cock is the best - it’s a matter of pride. Palnati Yuddam kind of ones….

 Mouthwatering delicacies like Nethi Arisellu,Kobbari boorellu,Garelu,chakralu,Payasam never appear tiresome to keep u away from them. 3 days u end up only eating ,eating and eating with lot of affection wherein u will be forced to eat to make sure tat u do not hurt their emotions.

 “Sankranthi vachindi tummeda..Saradalu techindi tummeda …“ (forgot this song’s movie nameLL)

 Also Sankranthi is the time when we (my mom had these privileges) pay respect to our Ancestors. Grandfathers and great grand fathers expect their next generation fellows to pay obeisance to mark the new harvest season.

 Oops Sankranthi marks the First harvest season of the crop and is hence celebrated jubilantly. Also this is the most important festival which I believed was bcoz ur half yearly exams are done and u get a break of 15 days and also 3 new blockbuster movie's release – sadly my reasoning sounded insane.

 Mom kept on repeating “Kanna that’s why I tell you… choose a telugu girl who hails from such a village where atleast ur next generation will not miss this excitement “.

 Though I revert saying its my mom’s Emo-s-nal atyachaar, at times feel what she mentioned is also a point to be noted.

 Or else I end up smsing “Happy Sankranthi/Ugadi/Dussera/Diwali ”, and the celebrations remain the same routinely.

 “Choodamu ley amma…ivvala repu inni qualities unna ammayi dorakaalantey kashtam”

 Huhhhhh…ekkada ekkada ekkada undo taaraka……padahaaru anaaala teluginti aadapaduchu ekkada unaavey???

Reel to Real….

If I remember correctly the telugu movie “Okke Okkadu” (which was later remade into hindi with Anil kapoor as Nayak) was released in 2000 when I was in my 10th Standard.
The movie was a run away hit given the story line was simple and straight forward.

In the movie when the TV Anchor played by our protagonist turns out to be the Chief Minister of the state taking charge of his Office on Day1,comes up with a Novel idea of setting up a Complaint box in every lane of the state. The Idea is simple any citizen of the state can drop in their complaint to the Chief Minister with the aid of the Complaint Box and their complaints shall be addressed within 24 hrs.

I am not sure if Shankar (the director of the movie) came up with the idea at random or was it planned, but yes his prognosis turned out to be true after 8 years with minor changes.

Yes Today I saw a Complaint Box in my area , promising to listen to my concerns and help me to resolve it. But the icing on the cake is that it has been set up by an Opposition party as opposed to a Ruling party as picturised in the movie.


This particular Complaint Box has been launched by the PrajaRajyam Party cadre to understand the problems being faced by us and try to resolve these Issues once they come into power (not sure if this is another Election gimmick to woo the voters).

A typical Fimli Style remake of a Reel event to a Real Event, certainly the party cadre was trying its level best to blow the winds in their favor for the upcoming State Elections to be scheduled for May 2009.

Guess today was the first day of inauguration as I saw a lot of Obeisance being paid by Chiranjeevi’s Adulater’s as if this Box was his new movie cutout or a Wall paper. Coconuts, Garlands, Bananas as offerings to please their matinee idol.

mE aNd My SaTyAm....

So far in my Blogs I never mentioned anything about my Organization. I always felt that i shall not use this space to promote my firm. Since I also blog in my company which is an Intranet one. But today I feel I have to pen down about my organization which is my First tutor in this Corporate world.

The latest turn around of events made me realise how deep I am attached my firm. Today at a time when I fear most of my colleageus/ friends are ashamed to put on their Tags in MMTS,Autos,Buses just to avoid to be viewed skeptically by a passerby.

Yes I AM PROUD to be a SATYAMITE. I work with Satyam Computer Services Ltd.

I am not ashamed to be apart of Satyam. Whatever has happened in the past 1 week shall not bother me. When I try to weigh down what I got from my firm to the last week’s events the latter doesn’t bother me.

I joined Satyam in 2006. This was my first tryst with a Corporate Company. Through out the past 28 months I have been growing with the company. The opportunities that my firm bestowed upon me remain unmatched.

Today morning ,11th January 2009 Hyderabad Edition of The Hindu, made me realize this. I was woken up by my Mom to show the Newspaper where in Mr. Ramalinga Raju (Founder of Satyam) was being shielded by his brother (incidentally my Firm’s Managing Director) from to Police Custody.

My memories went back to the instant when I first saw him in one of my campus in the parking lot getting out of his BMW car , and here was he being moved in a rakshak vehicle. I just could not control myself. I was Broken.

I may be amateurish to comment on what if he did was right or wrong, for me he truly WAS, IS, SHALL BE an Inspiration . To dream Big , at a time (1987) he foresaw a untapped market that is going to rule in 2000.



It was due to his thought, that today 53000+Associates got a respect in the society with their families taking pride to be a part of this Satyam Family.

My MOM in particular reminds me onthing “Baabu, Whatever he did doesn’t bother to me as he gave you an Opportunity to prove urselves without any help. We as a family shall pray for his well being”. I observe that she MEANT IT.

All through out the week we were getting Solidarity Calls from our loved ones to enquire the status quo, but that doesn’t deter me from admiring my company.

You may have frenz or well wishers who pray for your well being when you attain success but there would be only TRUE ones when u r faced with difficult times. Thank you everyone for this wise gesture of urs to stay with me during my tough times.

Like you have stood beside me during my tough times, I shall stay with my Satyam in its tough times.

I am and shall be a TRUE Satyamite in letter and spirit and be there on its side during these times. The Logo and the brand brings in a Gusto in me to excel myself and challenge myself.

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

turbulant times ahead....

Feeeling Sad :-(

Low,Dejected,Dissapointed.............




sNEEk pREVIEw...lOvE kAbBaDi..

Here is the Story line of Love Kabbadi....Pls do add ur inputs to make the movie a Superhit...in atleast 300 centers excluding Onsite :-)

2008 saw many ups and downs. From Wall street crash 2 Bangladesh Elections 2drop in petrol prices, the year has been waxing and wanning like a Moon.

Yes our protagonist started to like some one.

 "Penu toofanu tallonchi chooosey tolli nippu kanam athadey ..." though not such a powerful character,an avid afficionado of movies and a complete movie buff. May be Dil mein violin bajne shuru hua…

One fine day he expressed it to her and she formally refused him. “Never give it up “was the thought for the day he saw on his flashy screen. He tried his best to impress his senorita Vrooming on bikes with the Speedometer never coming down below the 70kmph mark in the jammed traffic, started to like the things that she liked (Oh u like Chiru…I luv Chiru….oh do u like Vegetarian Food..I die for it…I hate Nonveg).

Protagonist Intro song similar to….

Ungaraala juttu vaadni, (aithe enti)

Oddu-poddavu unnavani, (chaala mandi unaaru)

chaduvu sandhya galginonni (MBA with Scorpio??)- chawaka beramaaa…

Goppa inti kurravani (aasti entha enti???)

akkineni anthatodni (cha)

korinninu cheri vastey - pedda nerama….(POTA bill lo irikistaanu)

naakanna neekunna taareedu entama..(mari na venuku enduku vastunaavu)

naa ethu naa baruvu neekanaa more amma (idhi olympic weight lifting kaadu)

nenantey kaadanna ladiesey lerama (mari first time ani cheppavu)

All this to show her that he cared for her. His Breakfast’s became beautiful, Lunches smelled timely, Coffee the best place in Office (Infact he was about to drop in an idea that couches be provided near the coffee machine to the corporate services guyz), and Dinner always ended on a Sweet note. No diets, no health…even the Oil oozing out of the Roti’s was declicious.

As days passed by he started to defy gravity by taking troubles (often ending up creating more troubles). He started to pick things up which she was planning to drop since he started to believe that its lot more easier to Pick up rather than drop. Just like Keanu Reeves in matrix 1….There is No Spoon…He started to believe that she is the ONE.

Added to the helm was the  audio of newly released Rab ne ban di Jodi…where in SRK boosted his morale by singing “Haule Haule hojaayega Pyaar chaliye….Ishq mein jaldi bada jurmaana”. Romantic songs became his National Anthem’s.

He started to remember everything related to her, vaalla amma naanala Pelli roju tho saha …but forgetting his credit card bill date. JJ 

Cut chestey Scene enti antey…motham attraction….His crush list parameter – Int crush became crush++ increasing the stack content by one.

To seek respite and help all those unhappy souls who cud not make up their story meet the right end he started to help his frenz with his inputs and confidence building measures.

As the story progressed one fine day , a Cute girl pinged him and said I Like U….Now our protagonist who was till now on the other side of the table suddenly moved to the receivers side from Giver’s Side. 

Intermission

second half to be contnd.....

Stimuli in Stimulus Package….

To address the Global meltdown and Bubble burst while the countries world wide are coming up with their own plans to address this issue , with the US being epitomized as the front runner with a Bail out package of 700 billion dollar.

To cushion the effect of the Bubble burst impact on India the government of India has also announced a series of Packages to provide a Helping hand.

While the First phase included a Stimulus Package of Rs 30,000 Crore with an additional Rs 20,000 Crore for infrastructure management the government tried to set the market back in action.


The Second phase included a more detailed package to address specific industries requests losing a revenue of Rs.40,000 Crore.

While certainly the necessary measures included RBI’s rate cuts on CRR,REPO rates and reverse repo rates to bring in more liquidity into the market, Credit was created but isn’t being disbursed as planned out.

Companies and individuals who had their own jolts in the aftermath of the Burst are no longer in a mood to take credit and invest to reap out more benefits.

So I guess the Stimuli intended to be created with the Stimulus Package hasn’t yet started to take off….

A New Ray of Hope…

The recent election result of Jammu & Kashmir stands as a testimony to the fact that the citizens of the state are no longer in a mood to be cajoled with the Secessionist’s promises.

People have reposed their faith in a Democratically elected government as they have realized that it is only through an elected body , their plea's shall be heard.

Though chief Minister Mr. Omar Abdullah is naïve and sounds Obfuscate in certain matters , giving the responsibility to run a state to a Young and vibrant leader in these times filled with demagogue Leaders brings in a ray of hope not only to the residents of J&K but also to the new phase of Young Politics.

Hopefully this act shall wheedle many others parties to bring in more Young and dynamic leaders in the coming general Elections to be scheduled in May 2009.

Hasham here goes your request :-)

Zor ka Jhatka....

Lugubriously and as usual I called up my friend who was preparing for an exam “Hey Dude …..wats up?? so hows ur prep goin on???” (once again reminding of my Flippant attitude which I wanted to change in 2009).

He replied genially “Fine buddy”.

To give my two cents on a formal note…“Don’t take this one on a lighter note…u know tat this is ur Destiny…u need to put in lot more efforts…we shall discuss about the other things after ur exam but as of now u have to face this and beat it….work Hard Buddy”.

My friend whose name instantly evokes a Sensibility sounded berserk or rather threatening as a raised fist.

“Sure Budweiser…I know that and if iam not wrong it was me who said about this to you…Now why is it that all our cohort want to exhort me …I appreciate your concern but pls for gods sake don’t make me feel despondent. Stop Spouting!!! ”

“I need those words when I was planning for my exam…to help me identify my strengths and weaknesses…but when iam actually working on my plan why have u guyz started to make me feel as if iam going on behalf of India to the Olympic games to be held tomorrow…iam already stressed up working up..iam eating ,sleeping,drinking (if at all) only with these formulaes, algorithms and stuff…”

“at this point of time all I need is some confidence to boost up my spirit. U know wat …every one who is calling me these days …says Work hard…for ur kind information iam …the saddest part is to rejuvenate myself iam going through my orkut testi’s,linked in Reco’s to bolster my confidence levels and make myself comfortable that I MADE IT earlier …I SHALL DO IT NOW….unfortunately the ones who spoke so gud abt me online are not in a situation to make me realize those strengths physically”

I was broken to tears when he referred to tat orkut and linked in testi’s…yeah I wrote an awesome testi flaunting my vocab…and today I feel what I wrote was more of an Obituary note rather than a Testi….just to let the world know how kind I amLL

I was shattered to know How Innocuous – seeming words can wound. All I could do was atone for my ignorance and become a channel for him to vent out.

First lesson learnt in 2009, Its quite easy to show the world that u concern about ur family/frend/loved ones but to make that person feel that he/she is the best…..its not just saying Gud or Best abt them infront of others…but to make them realize that.

Don’t pester them with the Due dates, petty things when they are going to a Battle but DO REMIND them of their previous battle that they fought Valorously and wat key role did this person play to WIN the Battle.

And never impugn their Prep by reminding them that this would be the End of their World….bechaaara with the amt of harangue I showered upon him, he might have been thinking what if things don’t happen the way he planned to..Will he be ostracized from this world for this act of his for not making…he is already in a Consternation and added to it were my pernicious comments…

Rehman’s words reverberate in my ear …

“Lookin' for the answers

To all the questions

In my life

Will I be alone

Will you be there

By my side”

“Say what you wanna say now

But keep your hearts open

Be what you wanna be now

Let's heal the confusion

Pray for me brother”

Do you know wat happened on 6th January 2009, at 12.37 AM….

 No - tremors didn’t shake earth, tsunami didn’t raise again to engulf the coastline, no new political party took its birth, no third stimulus package announced….

 Amidst every ones tight sleep someone somewhere took a call…. 

^%$@$@ Confused???

 Results Awaited!!!!

fLOUNDERINg tHOUGHTs...


After a long time I was able to catch up with my Engineering frenz Sra1 & Venky, though three of us are in the same company and we catch up with each other on office communicator - to catch up live and relive those gud old days is quite ecstatic.

Our  discussions varied quite a lot, from the recent movie to last birthday amongst us, who else is missing in the troupe.,etc. Sra1 ,Venky & I were the active members of our troupe to harass others who include Raj,Nabee,Anil,Manohar.

Whenever we felt bored, three of us used to pick some topic out of blue and started to fight amongst us. And the topics never had any issue of taboo including jobs, careers, first date,marriages and mostly related to first love, first girl.,etc Obviously the discussion wud b supported in the ratio of 2:1.

Indeed we have grown up from those college days when we all agreed upon to ones’s decision to watch a movie (however bad the movie was) to a stage where we understand that we hardly get time to meet each other and talk , so we cud not afford to risk those 3 hours watching some Super hit movie which we cud have done with the company of some other frenz.

Though we have all colorful credit cards in our pocket today, we preferred to go to a place where we pay by cash (a typical small food outlet). It reminds me of the Engg days when we used to order 2 biryani’s and share it due to paucity of funds (never compromised for movies as we had to do enuff justice to them). Always used to wonder “yaar hum kab jaayengey big restuarents in our own cars”. The day is here , but we no longer enjoy the car ride in comparison to our old triple rides to college.

Some things haven’t changed like in Engg we used to resort to Academic Bulimia during Exams and today we resort to Corporate bulimia to cover up the last minute presentations and client visits.

Certainly things have moved quite a part, we have started to think beyond ourselves, trying to understand and accept each others view points where we used to fight earlier.

We had been there to support each other in every decision that was of importance in our life and stood behind one another to give that feeling of “Main Hoon Na”. 

Today we may not be agreeing to each others view point on some issues, but who says that we should be – Twin brothers are not having same opinion so how do u xpect us to have same opinion but Yes we do accept each other as we are and We know each other better as we have been there in our company for the past 6 years (my god even a Govt stands for 5 years, we have been bonded for more than tat period).

And yes Love, Affair and marriage are NO longer Fun topics for us to discuss. Though we ramble upon them and try to pull each other’s leg we certainly know how difficult were the situations that we dealt in those matters.

Today we understand that Every relationship has its own importance. Friendship doesn’t mean u watch the movie Happy Day’s and feel happy about ur engg days , its about staying with them during the times of necessity(as I keep on putting ….Friendship antey Happy Days cinema choosi Chankalu Guddukovatam kaadu ….)

Sra1 and I had my own learnings from life while venky is still novice to this arena. Raj,Anil & Nabee though are distant from us hope they also had their share of learnings.

Hey Guyz Come down soon yaar..V  missed out another New year bash vthout u guyz…..

12 Angry men….1 vamsi

Well it has got nothing to do with a formal introdcution. Ever since Naveen Bavagaru brought his 500 GB hard disk completely dumped with Movies,mostly English ones, I was on the verge of completing all the movies that I have been planning to watch.

Over an informal colloquy Naveen asked me about the movies that I completed watching from the Jumbo collection, and he popped up about the movie “The 12 Angry Men”.

The name sounded fancy when I was copying the movies and thought it would be of some interest to watch the classic black and white movie. So tonight I thought I had to do justice to my prejudice.

So I started to pull off the VLC pull off button. Now this was another movie which I started off to watch at random (generally I watch movies after making my self comfortable with the star cast, director,wikipediang all stuff).

And I must confess here that it had been one of the finest movies that I watched which would share its place among the classics of my Hollywood favorites. With a Pretty impressive screenplay the movie sets the conversation,allegations,refutations among 12 Jury men to come into a conclusion of finding the convicted - Guilty or not guilty.

The voting starts from 11:1 :: Guilty:Not guilty and slowly makes the figure vice versa.

It requires a pretty tight screenplay to make a movie running into more than 100 minutes length and not take the camera out of a room. All the characters move inside the room , occasionally resenting, arguing at every point .

A gud movie to watch about…..

Piquant 2009….

Happy New Year 2009 !!!

Here comes another year of Hope, Joy, Confidence, Success, Holidays, Birthdays, Festivals, Parties, Elections, Experiences, Realisations, Crushes, Loves, Marriages, Betrayals, Divorce, New Movies, Appraisals (which I doubt having this year),Promotions, Scams, ., etc

When I was in School and college I would be reminded daily of the fact that I am into a New year ,atleast the initial 1 week as I had to the habit of beginning my Notes by marking the Date. After entering Corporate I find myself mused at the way my handwriting has turned up. Its quite Egregious now LL.

Reluctantly or willingly I accepted MS office into my life which does this job for me now.

I Completely lost the habit of writing .God how did I manage to write my 16 marks Essay Questions in Engg , I still remember my First year Engineering Solid State Physics paper wherein I filled up a Whopping 50 Pages response weighing 150 grams in retaliation to a mere 5 gram Question Paper that was shooted at me. All my frenz admonished me for this act of mine saying that my answer sheet would be disqualified and I better be prepared for a Drop in SSP paper.(surprisingly I managed an 85/100 in tat paper).

Gone are the days when dates matter (at least the year part in the date). Nowhere do I use or write year any more. Ha I shall write the complete date when I soberly handout a cheque for my monthly credit card fellow. Apart from that no literal influence of 2009.

And No not again ……Resolutions…which have become a Synonym for Things not to do in an year….har saal ki tarah is saal bhi maine apney resolution charter plan kiya hai…and the menu reads as below…

  • I shall get up Early (6 Am shud be fine I guess..atleast u need to sleep for 8 Hours to stay fit)
  • Remember Birthdays (2008 mein I was battered to death for missing some of them..thankfully ravi shall help me with the office ones but have to look out for help for other frenz)
  • Become Health Conscious ….probably a 6 pack shall do it (already i started to see family packs jostling for space in cubicles)
  • Apart form celebrating Independence, Republic, friendship & Birth-day, shall also try to celebrate Valentine’s day to prove myself that iam also a Secular citizen of this country and I too celebrate all Day’s available in the calendar.
  • Shall be truthful,Honest,helpful…blah blah blah….(bakwaaaaas)
  • I shall crack Cat,Gmat,Snap,Xat,Nmat,Dogmat,pigcet.,etc (to prove my mettle that its not me looking for MBA but its colleges tat are looking at me to do a honorary MBA )
  • Make some Savings (I stay at Home and don’t save any money on par with my frenz who stay out of home and manage to send some amt back home …)

Last but not the least whatever may the resolution list consist of …I end up implementing one thing …..Never stand by ur word…when it doesn’t matter….basical ga manaki maata meeda nilabadey alavaatu ledu….

Lyf is so small there is no time to hate,fight,argue….So keep smiling and enjoy every moment…hakuna matata…and spread love JJ

Coming Soon…Luv Kabbadi…
