With mixed feelings...

The weekend went on with some good and bad moments..
While you feel better that things have come to a normal state and feel happy, you are ended up with some more probs and head aches..

The perception, thoughts and views will be varying from each and every other person, and if you are moving in groups you should always have the patience/sense to handle things.. You can always have loads of fun/feel nice/enjoy in groups, as long as you maintain your limits..

One thing that i learnt from the happenings over the past few weeks, is that..
Think twice (twice isn't enough man), u have to think for infinite no. of times before you open ur mouth... But if you keep on thinking for infinite number of times, you won't be opening your mouth at all ooff... Thats well and gud rite !!! ;-)
[ But what am i actually doing now ?? Hmmm.. Okay Okay.. i got it.. :P ]

The battle continues...!!!

Its beens quite some time, since i have updated my space with things that are happening around.. Actually, i am not having that exuberance to pen down things these days.. :( Though somehow overcoming my laziness, am gonna scribble something in this post..

Life isn't going so dry.. Amidst many good things happening around, there are also some battles going aside.. :P

  • Our company Mega Party went on by Jan 24th, which also brought the Super Six series to an end.. It was a week of total enjoyment, with picking up some good news around.. ;)
  • On the long weekend of Jan26-28, we atlast went for the Ramoji Film City over here in Hyd, we didn't actually enjoy the day, as all of us got tired and hoping to return home soon..
  • Its been End Of Season Sale here, and in wherever direction you see, there will be a SALE UPTO 50% board hanging outside every shop.. And i myself couldn't control, and shopped a lot in the past 1 week.. :)
  • I saw 2 movies over last 1 week, Parzania and Black Friday, there a lot of similarities in both of them, watching movies made out of real stories/incidents has always been an interest to me.. And also we see very less movies of this kind in Indian Cinema.. Nice movies to say, but both of them weren't welcomed much.. with Parzania not able to reach the theatres in Gujarat.. And Black Friday reached theatres after 2 years of time.. Ooh.. :'(
  • Its February, and its time for all those investment details submission, blah blah.. the work which i hate to do.. :'( Still strugggled and opened a PPF a/c atlast last week.. Ooff, wat a great job i have done.. :)

So, what is that the battle that is continuing, i havn't told anything about that.. :'(

Wanna reduce around 5 kgs in 7 days.. Here is the Diet Program given my General Motors.. GM Diet.. Check this link too, if u are a veggie..

So, from where i got these links and why am i making a post about this out here ???

Yeah.. Both of them wanted to reduce their weight, and got to know about these Diet Program from one other person who reduced her weight drastically because of this program.. :0 Which in particular gave these guys extra courage to get into, Though they are finding it hard to continue.. :P Lets see how they are gonna finish these 7 days..

Kannadigas Vs Tamilians !!!

I am not sure, how many kannadigas gonna come back to read any article published in IBN LIVE from now on !! Its all becoz of this..

There was a news article published in CNN-IBN's site, about Highs, lows of cinema down south..
And the thing, is that they dint mention about the Kannada Film Industry although they did mention about the Kannad Film Industry in the Video Clip..

Thats it..

The comments started pouring in from the Kannadigas.. Though most of the comments just started talking about the omittion of Kannad Film Industry, it gradually grew to attack the Tamil Film Industry and Tamilians.. Do the Tamilians keep shut in turn, they also started firing back.. :(

Language fanaticism is there with both Kannadigas and Tamilians !!
So, cant do anything.. ?? Though we just talk about Unity, blah blah.. :(

Till next post,
CIAO

PS: Both Kannada and Tamil are from the same root/family of Languages..
They have got many similarities.. etc etc.. But what is the use in knowing these infos.. Huh..

Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows

Yeah.. For all those HP fans out ther, thats the name of the Book 7 of the HP Series.. And the book is obviously gonna be very very dark.. and the title says soo..

The placeholder put up in the Amazon site, has been filled yesterday with book cover, as JK announced the name of her 7th book in her site on Dec 21st.



Though, the release dates have not been announced, but will be mostly by the summer 2007 and as the fans are expecting it to be on 7-7-07 [ten years after her 1st book release] and also 7 is a strong magical number according to JK.. :P There is a very high possibility for this release date.. Have to wait.. :)

So, here are some official kutti-kutti info about the Book-7 from JK's Site...
  • Atleast 2 important characters will die
  • One person whom she didn't expect to live has been granted a reprief [Whozz that??]
  • The last word of the book is scar
  • Sorting Hat/Harry are not Horcruxes
For more details about book-7, check out the Known plot details in this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathly_Hallows

Okay, lets leave all these official info on one side.. Lets just try to make out our own guesses.. ;)
  • Out of the 4 horcruxes, that Harry & Co need to destroy to have a final big fight with Voldy.. the 3 other houses' [cup, locket, naagini] goes out with less priority.. But the one which is from Gryffindors has to be a major part in the book..
  • Godric Hollow, the hiding place of James/Lily [and also the home of Harry] has got something in its name related to Godric Gryffindor.. So the plot remains there, how Voldy created his horcrux out of the death of James/Lily.. Has to be the most powerful one.. Also there is a high chance that it might be the Harry's Scar [Though JK has mentioned Harry is not a horcrux, Why cant his scar be ?? ]
  • And those 2 important characters who are going to die, may obviously be Harry & Voldy.. :(

Enough of speculations !!! ;)
Lets wait and see !!!

Ambigrams !!!

You can see symmetry in many ways.. Ambigrams [ambi+gram=>same+letter in latin] have always been an interest for me.. I used to try out my name, and my friends name using ms-paint [as i will be doing a rotate by 180 degree, after making half the part of the word] during all my vetti times..[very old days.. ;)] Though when i ask people are you able to read this, i will always get a very bad response..

Ambigrams are of many types.. and i don't really wanna write an essay about that here.. So just go through these links to get to know more about them:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambigrams
http://www.ambigram.net/gallery/

There are also online ambigram generators available.. I found one such site, and got the ambigram for my name, but that wasn't very pleasing.. After i googled along with my name, i got myself landed in this person's BlogSpot link, Amarnath [actually my college mate]. What a creativity he has got, and i was really impressed by his Tamil Ambigrams in particular.. Everything was really really cool.. And in particular, i got the Ambigram for my name too, which was even cooler than anything else [as its my name.. ha ha ha :D]

I just modified it to some extent.. And here you go..

DonBoscoboys GetTogether !!!

Its before the Diwali vacation, with full enthu, i too replied for the *Get Together* thread that was running in my DonBoscoBoys yahoo groups.. Actually we planned to meet the next day to Diwali, on Sunday around 10 O Clock in our School Grounds..

Its was Sunday, but i got up so late and when i had my breakfast it was around 11.30, When i got a call from one of my friends saying that, around 25 guys have turned up in the School for that Get Together, and everybody is asking for me [ As i proposed for some plans in our groups.. but didn't turn up ]

So, immediately i rushed towards my School, its been quite some time i have been there.. Those roads towards the School brought me back my green old memories.. :) :( And the warm smile in that Gate Security guy, made me feel happy.. And the look of our School wasn't the same, it has changed drastically... Some rich look added to it.. Why not, heard that the term fees and other stuffs.. have gone up.. :0

Well... Not many guys from my close friends' circle turned up for various other reasons.. But still we enjoyed chatting in groups, pulling each others legs.. under that Tree in our grounds.. As its not well planned, we just talked for hours.. And around 1 O Clock, thought of leaving.. And marched our way back..

Near the Princi office, there used to be a board holding the Top Scorers in +2 every year.. And till before previous year my score stood there as the top, but that was beaten by some guy last year.. I just looked and smiled.. And left the School on my way to home..

Here are some snaps.. :)

The Unforgettable Boarding !!!

I was on the way to the Begumpet airport, Hyd in an auto feeling tensed.. I just got down from the auto for no reason, and started running.. But surprisingly my legs weren't moving.. I was trying a lot.. But, i was not moving from the place i was standing.. And the flight which i have to catch took off..

Suddenly, i woke up from my bed on that fine Thursday morning [19th Oct 2006].. I started freshly and happily towards office, with all the luggages in my hand.. That disturbed dream didn't make me feel anything, as i was in a very happy mood.. Yeah, i am leaving for my Native on that day for the Diwali vacation..

It wasn't a normal day in our office, they had the Diwali Celebrations going on the way.. Ethnic wear going on one side, with the creativity of each team in their dresses unimaginable.. On the other side, a Treasure Hunt being run.. The entire Office was in an enjoyable mood..

I didn't do any work on that day, except checking mails and browsing vetti-ly.. ;) I cross-checked my schedule for that day's travel.. I need to board SpiceJet by 6:40pm and its supposed to reach Chennai by 7:40, And then i need to catch my Rockfort Express to Tanjore by 10:30.. Ample time i have got.. Isn't it ?? :D

But, the day's happenings weren't as i expected.. The first news that awaited for me in the Airport, is that the Flight is delayed by 50 minutes, because of the delay in the incoming Flight from Delhi.. And its supposed to depart by 7:30.. But the flight from Delhi itself arrived by 7:30 only.. :( Then atlast the Flight took-off by 8:00 and landed Chennai by 9:00, It was a very beautiful ariel view of the Night-Chennai with Crackers firing here and there..

I was outside Chennai Airport at 9:30, I wasn't feeling much tensed or something, as i replied my Dad in the phone saying that, i will have dinner and catch the train by 10:30, as i have helluva time.. But my time started, the auto wasn't moving near the Guindy Junction for more than 15 minutes.. I don't know myself, what i did.. But i got down from the Auto, and started running towards Guindy Station.. Got the ticket and was waiting in the platform for the Electric Train.. It was sharp 10:00

I was praying like anything for a Train to come, but it didn't.. It was sharp 10:20 pm.. Atlast a Train came, and i hoped that i will be in Egmore by 10:30.. But i didnt, it was sharp 10:30, when i was in Nungambakkam.. I lost all my hope.. Near the Chetpet station [the prev station to Egmore], i saw an Express Train starting to pick-up its pace.. I wasn't able to read anything at that distance.. But, i started realizing that i missed the Train.. I was feeling numb.. Fear arose from my inside.. It was a 2nd AC Ticket costing 700 Bugs.. But i don't know what to do ?? What to tell in Home ?? How will i reach Tanjore ?? Many such questions..

Atlast i was in Egmore.. It was 10:35, the Platform 4 [Usually Rockfort starts from there] was vacant.. But, there was a Train still stationed there in Platform 3.. As i just wanted to confirm, i asked a guy standing there.. "Rockfort poiducha..??".. The words from that Guy.. "Anga nikradhudhaan sir, rockfort..", made me feel like something.. i don't have words to explain that.. I started running.. running.. Atlast i got my Coach A3.. A guy standing at its entrance, asked.. "Neenga dhaan seat no 24 ah ??", with a small smile, i replied Yes... and reached my birth.. After having a short conversation with the TTR, That Guy, came near me.. And asked, "Unga appa Railways-la vela paakraangala ??", I replied NO.. :D

Though, the coincidence between the Delay in the Train Starting and me boarding after 10 minutes of the scheduled time, has made that Guy to ask such a question.. I felt from inside like.. "Namakaaga dhaan Train wait pannucho??" :D :D

I laid down on my Birth, thinking about that day's morning dream..
  • It wasn't Flight, It was Train...!!
  • I wasn't struggling to run, I was running all the times...!!
  • I didn't miss it, I boarded...!!
Whatever it may be, I can't forget this Train Boarding at all.. :)
Happy Diwali to all.. :D
