A quote by my friend..

Huh.. I am not sure if this post will last long.. But i will try my best not to delete this one..

First to tell about my friend, he is some one who comes across as a person who is calm, quiet and all such nice qualities.. I did not expect this kind of philosophy from him..

Yesterday when i was watching the Italy - Slovakia FIFA world cup match, i messaged him saying that Italians are too old and they are being outrun by Slovakians.. Came the reply which made me think if it is really him.. Before posting the reply some basic explanation of the scenario is needed..

Italians were the 2006 FIFA World cup champions.. They were known for their defence which was considered the best at that time.. Their coach thought that they are still the best even after 4 years, and selected almost the same line of defence for this WC as well (Mind you the average age of the squad was something around 33 years).. Since they were too old they were not able to match the younger Slovakians and so i had messaged..

The reply given by him will puzzle all those who know about him even a little bit..

Office lo vada good ante, next day kooda ade vada iste how will it be good?
(If the vada given today in office is good, will it be good if they give the same vada tomorrow as well ?)


wah wah em cheppavu raa..
yevadu padithe vaadu philosphy lu chepkuntu pothe inka prapancham bavupadnatte :P..

Butterfly effect!!!

Wont it be good if we are able to take alternate paths if something goes wrong as shown in the movie butterfly effect?.. Though i wont be able to re-live my life as shown in the movie, these 2 moments in my life could have changed who i am right now.. Actually this is what i said in my 1st post as well :P..

I have tried something different this time though.. trying to add some of my badly drawn sketches.. in my defence, i drew those in the interval of the fifa world cup 2010 which is only 15 mins :(..
I am not saying that i am good at sketching, but i can draw better ;)..

Hmmm here comes the first one,




even if you could not guess the profession from the picture, by the end of the next couple of paras you will find it out..

This is how it starts.. I was something around 7-8 years when this happened.. We went to vijayawada to visit some temple.. It was early morning 5 by the time we reached vijayawada, and we planned of taking bath in the waiting room and go to the temple fresh..I was the first one to take bath and my mother told that my father is waiting outside and that he will dry me up.. when i came out of the waiting room, my father was not there, so i started walking, walking and walking till i reached the end of the platform.. There i found the exit and went out of the station and started searching..

In the mean time my parents found out that i was not where i was supposed to be and they also started searching for me.. This continued for some 40 - 45 mins and they were about to inform the police about me missing, when to their surprise they found me outside the waiting room standing calmly as if nothing had happened..No one knows how i came back again.. Till date my parents keep on saying that they made the mistake of not leaving me there only and that i would be working as a coolie now..
Who knows i might have become the coolie no.1 (think most of you would have watched this movie)..

The second one goes something like this,
We were on an official trip to korea.. One week end we went to roam around and this happened on the way back to the guest house on korail.. By now some idiots out there would have guessed this :P..
There was an elderly korean man sitting, and he started talking to us asking about where we are from and about india.. After some chatting he turned towards me and said that i look like a hero (yes you read it right :D) and asked me if i am interested in acting in movies.. ahem ahem i started blushing and didn't know what to say.. He asked for my visiting card and gave me his website address to check it out.. Actually he gifted me a pen as well :)..
Just because my friends started teasing me i threw the paper on which the website address was.. Till date i don't know what was that address.. Who knows, he might have been the top director of korean film industry and i would have been looking something like this now :P




This blog is written solely for entertainment purpose and not that i want those moments to come again ;)..
Never think about the past when you have a long future ahead. Baa cheppanu ga philosophy...

Bye for now and don't wait for more posts since i myself am not sure if i will write again.. who knows if i get some crap topic again, i ll write this kind of junk just to waste my time as well as yours :D..

How i ended up starting this blog...

I am working in such a company where you either work your ass out day and night, or you will have no work at all and you will be roaming around disturbing others who are working seriously.. Today is one of those days when even though i have work, i am not interested in doing it..
actually i was assigned a work with a schedule of 3 months, and i already finished more than 50% of it in the past 3-4 days, so i thought of taking things slowly.. i mentioned this here just so that others will realize that i am a genius :D .
But today is a bad day for not working, since all those whom i disturb or who disturbs me are either on leave or working too seriously.. this led to me thinking about the sequence of events in the past which made me sit here and write this..

Now where should i start this.. Let me start with how i ended up in a NIT even though i didn't know what it was 2 months b4 joining. It was the summer of 2003, i had finished my +2 exams and the TNPCEE entrance exams and enjoying my holidays. Then suddenly one day my dad came home with a set of applications and asked me to sign those saying that one of his college colleague's son is studying in NIT and they are good set of colleges(i did not give a damn about what he said and just signed thinking who will go to such hifi colleges). I had not written AIEEE as well, the marks of which were the criteria for getting selected to NIT's. Luckily or should i say unluckily for us TN people they were considering our own entrance examination marks.

Then came the day of counseling. When my turn came up, i had 3 choices in my mind, NITW-Mech, MNNIT-CS and MNNIT-ECE in the same order mentioned. Just b4 i went to the counseling desk i crossed out the first choice since mech was not the most happening branch. So left with 2 choices, i was not able to make up my mind.. At first i filled MNNIT-CS and submitted it, but i don't know what struck me at that moment, i took the form back and changed it to MNNIT-ECE. That was my first mistake since it happened so that scoring marks in CS was easier than ECE.

College started and first semester got over so fast that by the end of it i got a CGPA of 5.75/10. Then came the life changing semester. Even though i did not study much in this semester as well, i got above average marks in Class Tests, and i thought if i put some effort during end semesters i could muster some good grades. Then came the D-Day, the day of my physics exam. I got such good grades in class test that i thought i can easily get an 'A' grade in it, and i prepared really hard. But in the end i wrote the exam so bad(got some 7 out of 40, still got a 'C' due to my CT marks :) ) that i came back to room and started crying like a baby..
After crying for some 1 hour or so, i fell asleep. When i woke up i was confused and was not able to concentrate much. Then suddenly out of no where, a bulb glowed in my silly mind, which helped me decide that studying is the last thing in my life and from that moment onwards i never took my engineering seriously.

That was the only year i spent my summer enjoying @ home.
I still don't know if the decision i took on that day helped me or not, but 1 thing is for sure, i enjoyed the next 3 years of my college life like anything. I did not care for anything or anyone. This resulted in me spending the next 3 summers @ college doing summer courses to complete my engineering. Overall i had to repeat 7 subjects in the summer courses, and in the end i could not even cross CGPA of 6 and because of that there were limited number of companies i was eligible during campus selection. I was rejected by 6 companies in interviews as i told them that i enjoyed my college life and that is the reason for less marks scored. I told the same answer to this company's interviewers as well. I don't know what they were thinking while selecting me but i ended up here (actually i could not even write a simple recursive program during my interview :P)..

Now 3 years down the lane, i am still in the same company, sometimes pondering about that decision i made 6 years back on that fateful day. That is one of the main reasons i am still in this company, since around 1 year back i seriously tried to change company, but no one called me citing my CGPA to be very low :(..

But i being me, will get over it by the time i publish this blog :P.

Life ni lite ga theesuko is my motto :)..

I am poor at verbal, so there might be many grammatical mistakes and such, ignore those... :P

yay i completed my first blog successfully though it is very long and boring :(..
I am almost sure that i may not write another one.. But what can i say. I thought the same about the first one and here it is..
