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.

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.

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.....
