Friends :)

July 14, 2010 / / 5 Comments

True friendship is when you can just sit beside your friend, remain silent for a long time and take leave with the satisfaction of having had a long conversation. There will be so many friends for each of us. But, some succeed to leave their footprints in our sands of time, forever. I have had wonderful friends with me till this day. Out of my many good friends, there are 4 who are my best (Others, please don’t take anything offensive, since the list is too big to start even). They never deserted me in any situation,even when I was on the wrong side and they made me realize a lot of things. This post is an attempt to pay a tribute to them in my own way.

Guruprasad@Aditya- The one who is with me since we met during KG days, till now (Only that, in the later stages of our lives, we decided to turn the bond into a lifetime partnership. However, that doesn’t stop him from being my friend :P). The one who knows more about me, than I myself know.The one guy, who bore all my tortures, who always goes out of the way to mend things for me, who chooses the best things for me, even if it’s not exactly the best for him . The one, who taught me not to support anything just because I like it and not to criticize anything just because I don’t like it. The one who is ready to fight with anyone (I mean the word “Anyone”) just to prevent them from hurting me (There has often been times, when he fights with me to prevent myself from hurting me, by taking a wrong decision).This list about him will go on endlessly. One post or one paragraph will be a very feeble attempt to describe our friendship. In the future, I might (might not) even write a book on us. (He is now at Bangalore to explore his career path).

Venkatakrishnan- A mutual friend to me and Guru, always wishing the best for us. Whatever happens, this guy is one who will always remain the same and be by our side. The one who is always there to advise us when in confusion, tease us when we are stupid, smile when we are happy and to be sad when we are so. In short words, he is the “Legal adviser” for me and Guru. I always quote him as “Gem of a person” meaning a nice person and sometimes abbreviating “Ginger eating monkey”:P This idiot studied the same crap that I did, in UG, but managed to be more knowledgeable than me at the end of 4 years and hence has decided to pursue M.S in the same stream. He is gonna be off to USA in a few days 🙁

Rathi Kannan Munukur- The one who made my college life much more enjoyable than it actually would have been. We both are so different yet so similar (yeah, that’s the way we are). We are so close, however we never influence each other. An appropriate example for us would be the parallel railway tracks. She inculcated so many values in me, without me knowing it (For example, I was never the kind of a person to have a second thought about dropping  a waste paper or a water bottle on the road. I don’t know till now, when I changed. However, I can say that the reason is Rathi) Her friendship is one of the treasures I got in this life and now she is already off to do her M.S.  🙁

Ramya- The one who spent the shortest time with me among all friends, yet had a great impact. I have never called this idiot just by her name. It will always be either a dog or a buffalo or a pig or at the least Ramya suffixed with any the before mentioned words. We both are so alike in character that we started to try finding “Six differences” between us. We found a few, but all of those were with respect to food preferences and nothing else. This idiot will complete whatever sentence I start and then will complain that I never let her tell anything. She is the proud recipient of  maximum number of pinches, beatings etc from me. The one who is an expert in Aptitude solving and literature skills but never accepts that she is. After having accompanied me in my craziest dreams about having “twin-houses” in Bangalore and some similar stuff, she is now working so hard at Bangalore that she couldn’t even talk to me properly 🙁

Now, all of these idiots (though I won’t call Rathi an idiot ;)) are not with me now physically, I am thinking of them every single day and am missing them very badly (It’s not that I don’t miss other friends of mine who have made a difference in my life).Thanks to all my friends and special thanks to the readers for bearing with such a long post.

Until later 🙂

Moments

July 5, 2010 / / 4 Comments

There are some moments in life, which will kindle a wonderful feeling, just at the first thought. These might be as crazy as possible, as impossible as they could be and as fictional as mankind can imagine. These moments, often at first thought, may fail to impress. Yet, as for me, these are at the top of the list. 🙂

1. Get a 2nd chance of college life.

2.To visit Badrachalam by boat as in “Godavari” movie.

3. To travel endlessly in a roofless car, with music ringing in my ears.

4.To own a Nokia 5310 (This has been my dream since 2008, but sadly, when I got the chance to go for a new mobile in 2010, it was out of market  and hence I ended up with a 7230 :().

  

5. To eat icecream, while getting drenched in rain.

6.To buy a platinum set of accessories.

7. To swim everyday as long as I wish.

8. To own a splendid house. (It would be better if I could get a boat house :P)

9. To have a parachute experience.

10. To nuture a beautiful garden.

11. To visit wonders of the world(Not only the 7 that are listed, but all the awesome places worth visiting).

12. To visit north pole.

13. To have a library(Of course,only of story books :))

14.To learn Karate fully.

15. To learn to play cards 😛

16. To learn to sing really well(O.K. Don’t start laughing, now)

These are some “feel-good” moments  I always dream of. Some of these fall under the “possible” category, which I might get a chance to experience. Hoping to meet these moments in the near future 🙂

Perspectives

June 30, 2010 / / 1 Comment

Hi all 🙂

I am awed at the way how our moods change by slightly changing the perspectives. During the first 2 weeks at Chennai, I hated corporate life for being monotonous, tiring, demanding and what not. I hated Chennai for being dirty and polluted. I hated shopping due to the crowd. I hated classroom training, because it was  boring.

Now, I like Chennai for its glorious sunsets and clouds. I like corporate life for the challenges and changes it give(And of course, the money it gives :P). I like shopping for the joy of roaming with friends. I like classroom training for the fun our batch is having here. 🙂

So, if I choose to see :

                                                                                             

instead of :

                                                  

and

                                                     

instead of

 Life seems so better and interesting. Having fun is one thing that eases our lives at any situation. This is easier said than done. I have just decided and am gonna try implement it. Hope all becomezzz well 🙂

Until later 🙂

Him

June 22, 2010 / / 0 Comments

He has been one person who has fought, played,shared with me, cared for me and doing so till now.

He has been there to adore me in my tottering days.

He has been there for me to fight with, when I was in a bad mood.

He has been there for me to play with, when I prefer to be entertained.

He has been there for me to share my secret mischiefs.

He has been there to tease me and call me by names.

He has been there to silently care for me till now.

He has been there to advise me when I needed a bit of tinkering.

He has been there to teach me stuff, which seemed like Greek and Latin to me.

He has been there for me to give an insight about stuff before I try it.

He has been a person whom I admire so much.

He has been with me since 20-10-1988 (Yeah, since I was born).

He is  one special person to me, who is as special as his birthday(29 Feb).

He is the one who’s “My” brother!

Proud to have such a bro 🙂

Love and be loved!

Hi all 🙂

The idea of doing this post dawned on me just moments ago, as I am sitting in my training class and obviously, I have started typing immediately 😛  I was sitting in the class doing a self-analysis and a side-analysis on the title of this post. Suddenly I had a wave of realizations. (As I type this, my friend sitting by my side, asked-“??????????? ?????????????????,??? ???? ????? ????? research ?????? ?????? ??????? ????????? Well, she might have been so involved in the class, unlike me ;)).

This post is on what I feel one can consider, to keep up a relationship better. They might be just the usual words, but if you think, they are not just the usual things we follow. Those who are not yet into a serious relationship, can also go through this, because you might need it in the future. 😉

Now, over to the waves :

  1. Always understand and be understood clearly.
  2. Even if you try to implement the above, so hard and yet fail, be patient and try again till you succeed.
  3. There will be stuff which is “so silly” for you and “so interesting” for your other half. Do not criticize even if you can’t respect. (If you can respect, you are great)
  4. Be fair. React the same way that you would want to be reacted to.
  5. Take pleasure in doing things for the other half. It works!!
  6. Support at all situations and guide towards the correct path at right situations.
  7. The ????? ????? dialogue works well  – “?????? ???? ???????????? ??????, ??? ?????? ??????? ????? ??????????? ????????”.
  8. When the two halves are in different places, there will be situations which will test you to the core. Handle them with care and patience.

There’s a lot more, but all of them will fall into one or other of the above category.  As soon as you saw the title of the post, I can hear your mind voice saying-“???? experience ??” For those who ask this question, you know the answer 😛  Moreover, these can applied to not only your better half, but to anyone whom you care about (Maybe the waves need slight changes if the person is someone else-It depends). I want to end the post with my favourite love quote-“Love is like a violin, the strings might have gone,but the music remains forever.”

P.S: If the readers assume that I am following all these, I am not responsible for the assumption 😉 Just shared what I wanted to share.
