It has been close to 4 years that I have been working and never in my life did I feel so pissed of as I was today.
Whichever way I see I only see that I have messed up with everything around me.
Everything seems to be adding their own pinch of flavors to my headache.
My professional life has got no way to make me happy to come to office.
My personal life companions feel that I am not spending quality TIME with them (Little do they realise that I am not spending time with myself)
I never dreamt of working so HARDLY that even in my dreams I dream of the same issues.
Ever since my Sony MP3 player stopped working i lost interest in listning to music which in a way would have consoled me and cajoled me to a different world. I screwed it up by carelessly drenching in rain while coming to home from office.
Now if mom gets a chance to read this she is gonna kill me…I promised her that I would get our Microwave Oven repaired and it has been almost close to 6 months that I haven’t got that fixed up…whenever I call the customer care they say they would send someone..but alas no one turns up and even if any one does turn up they come on a working day to my door without prior intimation….huh
Added to my woes the rains in Hyderabad are only making me feel worst of all times. While people in different parts of the country might have been rejoicing that this year it has been raining very well, people like me curse and would refer to call this as Floods as opposed to rains. The Incessant rains lead to water logging and frequent Traffic jams.
As I have to go to my office via a Bridge (MMTS Hitech city station) and that gets choked up with vehicles of all genres Hatchback, Sedan,SUV,MUV,Luxury, 2/3 wheelers.
So even though I have my car I am forced to go on my bike which gives me a hope that I would be able to cut down my travel time by 50%. But luck always never favors me and so most often I end up drenching myself in the rains and their resultant Potholes.
It is at times like these that I feel I could have become some one else leading a great life enjoying every moment of what I do, had I dared to take a step to opt for something different.
I see my cousin sister who is quite content with her work and she is content because she gets to do wat she likes the most. She runs a Kindergarten School. Though she is an Average scorer of all the people I knew she is the one who is enjoying a lot in wat she does. While all the so called Toppers slog their bottoms and curse for their daily chores….like ME :-(
Wish life also had an option to rewind

I am not going to watch movies….
Well I missed to add a word in my blog title…” I am not going to watch ‘regular’ movies”
That was wat I felt after watching a regular series of formula oriented movies whose content involved only one common thing…and tat is NOTHING.
To be sincere I remember the first movie that I watched in a theatre which was a regular telugu movie. But I never knew that my passion or love for movies would go much beyond watching movies just as movies but something more than that.
After that movie I have watched hundreds of movies.
Mostly telugu till my School days. Slowly turned to hindi and finally to English.
To be specific I cud not understand English movies till my engineering days. I remember my first English movie was Jurassic park. And my understanding of an English movie was limited to only MEGA movies which involved lots of special effects and stuff…well this topic was actually not started with the intention to write something about my love towards English movies. That can be taken as another topic Vam…now let me return to my original topic.
To be frank I got fed up of watching regular movies.
A Movie which has got nothing NEW or Innovative to make the audience feel worthy enough of their ticket cost.
Off late let me admit I have been watching pretty DUMB movies. It was when I was watching this movie called SIMHA (apparently a blockbuster movie ...at least tats wat many beleived). I was able to predict every scene and the director never disappointed me in making my predictions turn reality on Screen.
It was on tat day I realized that instead of watching such movies I cud have made better use of my money.
May b some off beat movies.
And here is my list for watching the forthcoming movies…
UDAAN
AISHA
Peepli Live.
I saw UDAAn today…shall try to complete the list pretty soon….

A Bandh tat survives no purpose....
I never knew that people would take my previous blog post so seriously.
Though i feel happy that the National parties along with regional parties have started to react for my blog post "Hikes and Hikes" to take counter effective measures to control the rising prices
But i don’t understand wat is the point in making such a FUSS about the issue when they are not serious to find a root cause to the problem.
Wat does this Bandh mean to…
> People like me who are reluctant to join Bandh (also reluctant to go to office :-)) sit at home writing lengthy blogs venting out our anguish.
> While it is the school and college lads who make the most out of this bandh (at least the corporate students’ wud get some relief from their regular chores of studies...ooops not the residential folks)
On a serious note...
> By forcing people to accept BANDH for 1 whole day political parties would get ample coverage in Media and tat too absolutely free.
> The ill-mannered, vociferous cohort groups that follow their demigod leaders who do not understand anything about INFLATION or have never heard of any plans being chalked out to control price rises would have activity for 1 complete day.
(How about the people who make their daily living by working as daily laborers?? Due to this disruption they wouldn't have work for 1 complete day and as such their families are forced to be hunger struck )
> Observing Bandh has become synonymous to wrecking havoc in the city. it is like a sif you have been given the power to rule the city as u want. You can close any shop that u don’t like and keep the shops near ur party offices with buzzing crowds. All the chai waallas and tiffin centre snear these party office can remain open to serve the hunger needs of these rampage mongers while the Aam aadmi for whom this bandh was intended has to be hunger driven on this day.
> Poor transportation system. It has become and object on which everyone can show thier anger. Watever may be the reason you are always free to go and break Bus panes, disrupt railway tracks
hey but i have to rush to my office..catch u later....

Hikes and hikes
The Petrol prices have been hiked again and this time by a whopping Rs 3.50/- per litre.
So from now in my hometown Hyderabad (where already i think we are paying the highest price) i have to shell out 56 bucks for a litre of petrol.
I still remember when i bought my bike i used to get close to 1.5 litre for 50 bucks which was my daily pocket money (without which i cud not have survived my Btech Days).
And today i cant even get atleast 1 Litre for 50 bucks.
So wat does this mean to me...
> I have to b careful to take out my car (If possible avoid :-))
> may b i shall think of using my company transport (in which i wud waste 4 hrs per day in journey)
> Prefer to stay at home arther than vrooming on bike (which unfortunately i cant control )
Luckily My car is a Duo version and it also runs on LPG. I can prefer usage of Gas as opposed to Petrol.(But still i cant understand why shud a BMW owner pay the same as a Wagon R owner/Bajaj Chetak Owner pays )
I just wonder how Common Mango People wud take this impact. May b Naseerudin Shah can define wat a Stupid Common Man can do.
Already the Inflation is in double digit figures
Petrol/Kerosene Prices are Hiked.
Gold is at an alltime high (Poor fellow T...my collegue..he is marrying in such a dreadful time)
Vegetable prices are sky rocketing (So i asked mom to consider Chicken before buying veggies)
Multiplexes in Hyd have hiked the prices to 150 bucks (and u guyz ask to kill piracy)
Milk becomes dearer by a Rupee.
Cooking Gas price goes up by 25 bucks.
The only thing tat looks CHEAP now is my PAYCHEQUE :-(
Though i am not sure how shud one Control these prices, i sincerely pray to god to hear some gud news coming in amongst all these unhappy News.
And guess wat leaving all these Necessary things untamed, ppl luv to spend time fighting to draw lines between countries,States and Castes.

Dandeli Adventure trip.....
After a long hiatus, I thought it was time for me to do something that I never did, something very crazy enough to think differently. At the same time I got an update mailer from ghac that there was space to accommodate me for their Dandeli trip to be done on 29th and 30th May 2010.
To give a prologue, Dandeli is a small village near Hubli. Surrounded by thick greenery and a hometown for many kinds of wildlife and different species of birds.
We started off on Friday Evening from MGBS at 8.30 PM in a KSRTC Megahdoot AC bus. All the ticket arrangements have been done by our trip organizer…Nandu . A truly amazing guy who is doing this trip 3rd time and 2nd one in may 2010 to the same place (Have to appreciate his patience as I wud have nvr done this kind of stuff …go to the same place 3 times …huhhhh) A very passionate guy and cheerful person.
We reached Hubli by 8 AM. There were 2 Jeeps arranged to move to Dandeli from here. Oops forgot to mention our jeeps had some funny names..one was called Sahil and the other Dolly (we lovingly mocked dolly dolly dolly…). From Hubli it is 70 kms approx and it took 2 hours to reach the farmhouse (bcoz of the not so gud roads).
The Farm house “Stanley’s Farmhouse” resembled like one in many of our bolllywood stylish guesthouses. Situated among lush greenery it stood alone. It is being run by a group of frenz who organize the events there.
We reached the farmhouse by 11 AM. Had quick breakfast, got freshen up and we headed to start off the action . The first we headed was River Crossing. I remember doing a similar thing when I attended my Air force Selection at Mysore. Looked simple but required great gusto to push back urself especially while returning where I had to carry my whole weight on my arms (when I completed someone told me tat I shud b leaning back so tat my weight wud be shared between my hands and body equally …Kaaash this fellow wud have said this before I started…phewwwww)
Once I came back I was completely exhausted (may b its been a longtime that I had some REAL Pyhsical workout…hehehe). I sat for 10 minutes as I went completely Blank for sometime trying to catch a Breath.
After that I along with a few others came back to the Farmhouse, had lunch and started off to the Natural Jacuzzi over the river Kali. It was a great one as this Jacuzzi removed all the tireness that we had since morning and made us really comfortable with the surroundings.
At around 4 Pm we started to the White Water Rafting point some 20 kms away. There were many people already waiting . While I was amazed as to how long wud it take for all of us to complete the task , we all did it at the same time. There were 8 Rafts and each cud accommodate 8 ppl excluding the trainer. The Main trainer gave some instructions and arranged into groups of 8 and gave each group an Instructor for the day.
As we got to our raft after fighting as to who wud sit in front, I luckily was chosen by our instructor to move in to the first place (Being tall shud have its own advantages)…I and Aftab took the lead positions on either side.
Our Instructor Shankar bhai was a cool and calm goin person. He made us feel comfortable with the river by making us jump into the river…yeah even non swimmers like me jumped into the river (ofcourse with the Life Jacket+Headgear). Once we all felt ok. We kick started our raft.
Each jump in the rafting is called a Rapid. And I enjoyed every rapid sitting in the front and cruising the raft . It was amazing one and I made sure that I didn’t close my eyes when I encountered the rapid. As we raced with other rafts we kept on having head-on collisions with other rafts and drenching each other shouting “Pls don’t waste water”
It was a 9 Km Ride with 8 Rapids. The 1st and 3rd rapids were quite exciting pumping my adrenaline high.
All in all it lasted for nearly 90 minutes . Our Dolly and Sahil were waiting for us at the other end to pick us back. After a couple of photo shoots (unfortunately we cud not get snaps on the raft in the river as we cud not manage cameras in tat water splashes and had to forgo) we headed back to our Farmhouse . The cool breeze around made us shiver and by the time we reached the farmhouse we were dry.
Refreshed ourselves with a bath and chai and we gathered around the Bonfire to have fun. After some gosssips we had our dinner. As I tght the day was over, suddenly there was an announcement that we still had to do the Night Safari.
So being helpless joined my crew in their expedition to see wildlife in their natural habitat. Geared with Torches we began to illuminate our way into the deep jungle with an expert. The moon was quite bright and it provided enough natural lighting to recognize each others faces. Though I hadn’t witnessed any Wildlife in the darkness Pavan and some others claimed that they had the opportunity to see a Deer and some Flying Squirrels. Guess I was following my crews footsteps and playing with the Torch.
At one point in the jungle we all halted at a point and switched off all the torches and felt the sudden chill running down the spine.
We reached back after the night trek at around midnite 12. We called it a day and arranged our Beds in the moonlight. Watching the stars and sleeping under the blue sky in a Jungle with natural sounds around was a great experience.
…Stay tuned Day 2 to come up……

few ramblings.....
Ever since i have stepped into my new office I haven’t got time to spend for myself.
Initially I felt I had a lot of time to pursue various hobbies such as Movies (I planned to join a Movie Club, but left the thght of it now), go on a trek (stopped checking GHAC meetup mails), planned to go for the famous Heritage walk from Charminar to Chowmohalla palace (hahaha..waking up at 7 AM on a Sunday …noway).
And by the time i realize that , iam already 1month old in my new role.
Expectations have started to rise, Targets have been announced, I am xpected to join the Marquee from this month end.
Day by day I am getting used to new business processes, acquinted to new frenz, and most importantly new Timings.
By the time I reach home it would be time to sleep giving me no chance to think about how to spend my time…..
Its time to pull up my socks , roll my sleeves and get it going….I have got some new movies and finding it difficult to watch them…

i BlOg BcOz.....
Let me confess that when I started blogging I had no idea as to why people blog.
One day in my office there was a flashy email saying that my colleague is the Top Blogger of the month (with his picture). Eagerly I checked onto his blog page to see why was his picture being flashed across 50k Screens in the organization. All I could find on his bloglink was an empty page. I immediately turned back to him and asked him as to what does this imply. Shaken by my observation, he immediately opened his blog and made a post.
What went behind the scene was, Blogging was a new concept introduced in our organization and to promote that , blogs were picked randomly and awarded the Best blog of the month Award. And my dearest neighbor, unknowingly started a blog (but didn’t attempt to make a post, as he wud not have figured wat this was meant to be) the previous evening but had no idea as to what to post.
So picking the queue from him (and to be a wanna be Best Blogger ), I also started a blog of mine and gradually picked up pace by contributing every now and then and extended my blog to blogger.com
Even till date my Blog Follower count is still a single digit count . So you could imagine the kind of circle I am into. None of friends blog. So they don’t read my blogs. I literally dragged many of my frenz to blogging world, while some never turned up (ending in wasting a url by creating their blog but never use it) and some stopped blogging after some time.
It is because of such callous attitude that I drift away from blogging as I find no one appreciating my writing style/ sense of humor or rather observations.
It is at times like these that I LOSE INTEREST TO BLOG.
However I am a regular follower of blogs written by my favourite bloggers, my adrenaline starts pumping up and the fever to start blogging arises.
One of them is Shrinidhi who is an avid blogger. On a regular basis I learn from him that even this can be blogged. My understanding of blogging (initially) was to vent out. He blogs with such passion that he blogs about everything- from vehicle reviews - Places to visit (I love his chandnichowk trip post) – NGO Activities to a part of – Technology Forums (recently he even LIVE blogged from a techie forum) – Social issues – Adventure stuff (currently he is blogging on behalf of a guy who is climbing Mount Everest and updates enidhi ).
The first time I met him was in a Brainstorming session held in our office in ways to improve blogging culture across the organization. Though I never maintained that rapport with him, I regularly followed his blogs, because his contents are unconventional. Normally when I blog for a season it is about politics, another season about movies ,another one abt Social issues (if u had read my previous posts u wud have observed this pattern). May be this is wat is called as PATTERN /AMETUERISH Blogs.
While Shri has always been unconventional, one day if it is about travel the next post would be something which I could not imagine (May be this is wat is called as PROFESSIONAL blogging Vamsi )
Joining Shri on my fav list is Sodium, (yes remember ur chemistry classes NAOH- Sodium hydroxide). I bumped onto his blog from nowhere and had been constantly hooked to his blog. He started to blog from his engg days at IIT. His posts peaked from regular classroom happenings - dreams sharing – professional excitements. His posts are quite witty and his take on learning’s from reality makes them interesting to read.
Offlate I have started to follow the blog of Smita. As usual I don’t know her (Thanks to internet for making this possible, now people can follow unknown’s). She is an Avid reader and the best part is she posts a review of all the books that she reads and also rates them . In short she saves my MONEY. Every time I go to Crosswords to buy a book I end up admiring every book with colorful front page. Now a days I have started to read the review by smita , only then I am daring to buy a book. Though I am not a voracious reader like her, her blog updates me about the recent books.
And it is because of people like these I BLOG.
Even though with not much fan following, I try to stay updated with my passion (if not anything else this keeps my Typing Speed constant.)
How come all these people's names start with 'S'....:-(

She is an Avid reader and the best part is she posts a review of all the books that she reads and also rates them . In short she saves my MONEY. Every time I go to Crosswords to buy a book I end up admiring every book with colorful front page. Now a days I have started to read the review by smita , only then I am daring to buy a book. Though I am not a voracious reader like her, her blog updates me about the recent books.
And it is because of people like these I BLOG.
Even though with not much fan following, I try to stay updated with my passion (if not anything else this keeps my Typing Speed constant.)
How come all these people's names start with 'S'....:-(
