Goodbye College ..,

Its very ironic that one of the most awaited and also one of the saddest days of my life hit me on the same day., the 27th of April 2006. It's one of the most awaited days of my life coz it'd b the last day of my engg life., the same reason y its also very sad. Somethin that was a major part for 4 long years of my life., ended just like that., with a single bell that announced the end of my last engg exam.

I was gonna write a post bout me., but then I thought Y not write bout wat i've been thru the past 4 years n how they've affected me. This is gonna b a loong post ., so those of u who think this is too long to read but hav the patience to sit thru 3 hours of made up crap at the movies., talk for hours on the phone or spend days finishing a book., I guess 10-15 mins of reading this post shudnt bother ur patience levels much. Here goes.,
**** To save me energy n time, i'll write ' last four years' as 'LFY' *****

The main thing that I'll remember bout the LFY is that I've gone thru so many changes that I think i'll stand as a perfect example 2 the phrase ' turning over a new leaf'. There hav been quite a few changes physically n in my personality that ppl who've known me for quite sometime always keep mentioning it. For good or bad, ppl change as time flies by and that's how life is.

Before I joined engg I was this chubby guy whose fashion statement was 'still in my jeans n shirt that i had on last nite' n I had this moustache that never felt the touch of a blade., n now., I'm a hunk !!! Ha ha., not really but compared to wat i was b4., u can almost say that. I've lost a lot of weight., dress slightly better n am still tryin out new stuff. I still am a simple guy but I've learnt that it doesnt hurt to dress good., coz 4 u to look good u hav to make an effort., not everybody's born a model.

One more very apparent change is in my introvertish attitude that I had even during the first year of my engg., i was shy with anybody who i didnt know for a loong time and this was really bad when it came to girls. I rarely talked to any. I hav reasons 4 that which I'l mention in sometime. Now all that is almost gone. ALMOST. I've used the 'ragging' in my II year to get rid of this. I started talkin to so many boys n gals while ragging that my shyness kinda dissapeared. Now i'm so comfy talkin to everybody., especially girls that sometimes I take too much leniency while talkin to them that in rare cases it leads to trouble. But hey ! Lots of ppl love the new me., so I guess I can overlook those silly complaints. On the whole., U can say I've 'broken out of my shell'.

The F.R.I.E.N.D.S : This aspect of the LFY is somethin that I'll never never 4get., NEVER ! I've made tons of new friends., some good friends., few close friends and very very few hand picked friends that I can call my BEST FRIENDS. I always dreamed of a small 'gang' of my own with some certain traits that'd make them good friends n gr8 company n that we can hangout a lot 2gether., share everythin n be ., like., inseparable and wud do ANYTHING for each other n other good stuff. I realize that its easy to dream but all dreams dont come true esp when it concerns girls n i always 4get that we're in India but I'm very glad that i atleast found those 'spl few'.

I'm the kinda guy that gets attatched to everythin n every place in my life and 4 important years of my life is not somethin that I can 4get just like that esp when it carries so many memories., some very sweet., some not so sweet yet unforgettable. Here are few things not easy 2 4get that happened in the LFY related or not related to coll.
- I was bullied by my snrs in the name of ragging !
- I had my first 'parties' of my life with games n dancing n discos n stuff.
- I started talking to girls ( yaaaaay !!! :P)
- I've grown out of my shell., I ain't a shy introvertish kid no more.
- I've started dressing a lil neatly for the first time in my life.
- I've stooped to my academic lowest in my entire life., into the 50-60 % zone., but I still believe that these stupid examinations and percentages don't really show wat I really am.
- I failed in an exam 4 the first time in my life., no., I was failed 4 the first time in my life.
- I've got my highest and lowest ever marks in any exams in my life.

- I travel 90 Kms everyday to n from coll !!
- I spent more time in the canteen n playin volleyball that I've been fined for attendance shortage., also the first in my life.
- I've tried to learn engg stuff that tens of ppl took decades to research n discover in just 4 years ! Now who's the genious !!??
- I wrote 50 + main exams in just 4 years., thats a lot !!!
- I've lost a classmate to an accident., n thats really really sad.
- I've been in a Riot and ran from the police for two weeks !
- I hav had the BIGGEST crush in my life in the LFY.

- I've become a Net freak in the LFY.
- I've started blogging and in the process learnt a lot bout myself n 'grew up' a lil more.
- Thanks to Blogging and ORKUT lots of ppl in Hyderabad recognise me when i go out.
- I've covered soooo many eatouts n restaurants in the LFY n in turn spent a fortune on food !
- I've been gifted my own bike , PC and Cell phone in the LFY.
- Slipped a disk in my back.,got it removed in surgery n was on the bed for 45 whole days !!! This has changed my life a lot !

I'm never gonna 4get the friends tht I made here., the time i spent in the canteen n on the stairs chattin to friends., my wonderfull classmates (who i'm really proud of coz inspite of so many diff mentalities we never had a single fight)., the loads of Jnrs that i'm friends with., the long fun bus trips., the ragging., the bunking., the chatting., the 'batting' ., the deadlines of the labs ( which we never pay attention to, NEVER)., the college fests., n a lot more.
This is 4 all those who are still studyin in coll., u mite hate ur coll a lot ., but remember that this coll life doesnt come again. Njoy it to the fullest while u still hav it., if u dont find it cool or interesting., then make it cool or interesting coz nobody else will do it 4 u. The whole coll n the system that u hate., u wll surely miss after u leave it.

INDIAN IDIOT ..., oops., IDOL 2 !!!!!

Just when i thought Abhijith Sawanth was a mistake ., and after seein that monkey debojit win in Saregamapa., i saw a ray of hope in Karunya competting in Indian Idol. I know that guy since we were kids., not close friends or anything., but family friends. He started singin as a kid at a very small age and even released a telugu light music album at around 7-8 years of age on his own !! He's that damn talented !!!
Frankly., Sandeep is just a good singer., deff not India's best. I can sing as good as he can n i'll challenge him anyday 4 a challenge.
These reality shows + public voting hav been a big dissapointment., except 4 Nach Baliye.
I seriously think its time to put a stop to these shows., not only are the talented guys hearts breakin., the undeservin are gettin all the name n fame. Judgin shud b left 4 those who can really judge.

Guys., if u are really pissed off bout this system as much I am., i want u to check this out n help if u want to http://www.petitiononline.com/voting99/petition.html

FINALLY !!!

5 months of hard work ( yup., 5 looong boring months ! ) ., getin up early in the mornin., 20 Kms of commuting everyday ., 5 days a week for a whole month spent in the dirty n hot workshop floor., 2000 bucks ( not a single paise worth spending ) .,hours and hours of typing and editing the project report., hundreds of rupees and lots of pleading the book binders for the final finishing and binding n preparing the records in time.., thaaaats our PROJECT !!!
All that down to 5 mins of VIVA by some stranger who mite/mite not hav any idea bout wat our project is bout. Only a cook can know wat it takes to prepare a dish. I was in mixed emotions the whole day., stomach churnin like a washing machine coz of the tension but was very excited in my head coz 2day was the last day that we'd hav anythin to do about our project. Reached at coll at 10 n waited., n waited., n waited and finally had our viva at around 3 in the afternoon. The jerk starts talkin on the phone after we went in and talks crap 4 about 10 mins and then comes n says that our project wasn't impressive. I heard other grps say that he said the same to them., but hearin that bout our project felt like a kick in the gutt. He asked us not to worry bout marks n stuff ., yeah rite ! how can we not !? Anywyas., i answered the Questions he put to me n came out not too satisfied but not too sad either.
Two more theory exams n thats it., out of engg !!! Sad !? Scary !? Happy !? Lets wait n see..,

Alrite., now u know my school friends ., its now time I introduce u to my good friends ., from my engineering., the ppl I hang out with regularly., the ppl i'm close to. There's a looooooot to speak bout these guys., sometimes words are not enuf to express everything., watever i cud., i put it down here.

Meet Mr. Santosh Pawar., or just pawar to us. I don hav one regular pic of his coz he never is regular. A perfect mixture of crazy guy + reserved guy. He's got habits that i dont like but i can overlook that coz i know he's very good at heart. Wat i like the most about him is that he's veeeery down to earth. A pretty brilliant guy if not for his laziness. We have very good understanding. I'm friends with everybody 4m my class., n i think its worth mentioning here that i really am proud of my class., in the sense that , so many diff mentalities 2gether for 4 years in the same class, and not a single fight or clash., thats goood ! and I'm closest to this guy in my class. I wish him all the best for his future and his love life too ;) U're good man., just dont b shy or scared., if u want somethin ., u have to try hard for it. I think its time he stopped wasting time n took life more seriously.

Yo everybody ! Give it up 4 Mr Rohit and Mr Karthik !! Two of my cloosest and best friends . My comfort level with them is unmatchable.

Rohit (blue): A typically nice guy., a lil confused (perhaps)., otherwise very good at heart. Very selfless friend., ask him 4 a favour n he wudn't hesitate much. He's prob'ly taken advantage of in this matter n i get angry ., everytime that happens. Being too nice is also a bad thing sometimes. He absolutely loves to go out and eat out a lot., my kinda guy ! ;) One interesting thing bout him., when he's not really tryin., he's a chik magnet ., but when he is., he tends to get a lil carried away n it doesnt work in his favour. So mintu bhai., chill out n sit back n wat u deserve will come to u.

Karthik (in white): First thing anybody'll notice about him is that any hour of any day of any week., u'll find him dressed up neatly as if 4 some spl occassion. Its not a bad thing., but 4 someone like me who's dressing style is the 'just-out-of-bed-casual' style., this is a lil too much. Very nice guy and clean in habits. Very calculated guy., damn i'm always impressed by tht ! Another thing i like about this guy is he manages to impress ppl by talking., and can hav ppl sit with him 4 hours while he's talkin n talkin n talkin. Wish i cud hav some of that power. He's very good with girls., somethin i have to learn also 4m him. Being emotional n senti is good., but too much of anythin is not nice ., i know he'd deny on this point but I know how things are n he needs to chill out a lil too. I better not mention the Three-letter-word here just so that I don get my ass kicked.


So., here are the dangerous trio ., the other half of the very few ppl i hang out with. Rajiv., Preetam and Susheel. Me., rohit., karthik and these three are the regular freak out grp. All of them are 4m one section and i'm 4m another., we're all still very good freinds. Its an absolute blast hanging out with them. I've seen a lot of the outside world and tried out new places with these guys and all those moments will b remembered 4 a loooooooong time. These three are the funny guys and their jokes and timings are too good. They think that i'm not being too 'into' the grp coz i dont talk much. I think its waaay interesting 4 me to just shut up n listen to them talk., funny stuff or serious. Frankly speakin , their thinkin is a lil diff 4m mine coz they got diff principles in life n follow them strictly., but again its not too narrow minded., somethin in between. I think they shud think a lil more freely n see how better life gets.

This is only a lil about these guys., i can write volumes of books on my friends., but prob'ly not on my blog. I know i've been a lil frank on this post., but i cud b even more frank., not sure if everybody can take it sportively. So., thats it 4 now on my good friends. Hope u liked em . :)

Last nite., i'd been to this movie ., 'premante intey' ., my telugu movie., second show after a long time. The movie was good., simple story bout a confused young lover., not too filmi ., but i'm not here to write a post about the movie review or something. I fell in love with the heroine of that movie., but again., i donno wat love is ., so., i'll rephrase that., I got a HUGE crush on the actress. She's not bad at acting., but i just like her as a cute girl. Here are a few pics.



That's one of the CUTEST and FRIENDLIEST and NICEST face i've seen in a long time !

Pffff...., i will not use any one work adjective to describe the day i had 2day., coz then the post would finish in just one line. So., i'm in the project and report mood still., so i'll present my post in that way.

Wat I did/ happened : Didnt get ready properly or had a decent breakfast coz i was busy coz of the project work.
Went to coll slightly bored coz i 4got my MP3 player.
Hadn't had even 5 mins of continious rest the whole day.
Travelled back aroun 55-60 kms in the stinkin hot summer noon.
Spent total of around 400 Rs.
Had something to eat at 10 in the morning and then at around 7-8. Thats a gap of around 9 hours.
Lots of work to b done and i was stuck with a measly 3 Rs balance in my mobile.
Airtel guy tells me I've used up 200 free sms's when i know i used up a little less than 100. Screw him !

Wat I got off the day : Pangs of Hunger thru the day.
Completely dehydrated and thirsty.
Slightly tanned .
Sweaty (like crazy) but thank god., not smelly.
Got my brains all scrambled up tryin 2 arrange all the project reports in order.
Spent one and half times the actual amount required 4 the report to b paid coz i had this stinkin time constraint and he took advantage of that.

Wat I got off the day ( from the eyes of an optimist) : Kept myself busy rather than sleep, eat and sleep more like i do everyday.
Got to meet Manjusha and Divya., just meeting them cheers me up.
Got my report approved by one of the crasiest project guides one can have.
Ate my two meals with the few close friends I have 4m college.
Its fun makin long trips with good friends.
Got all my printouts done 4 free.
Got around the city without having to drive in this stinkin traffic.
Had a very tasty pulav with loads of coke n crispy chips.
Spent the WHOLE day with Rohit and Kartik., now thats gooood !
Am done with all my stupid project work.

Result : A pretty HECTIC day., but not a bad day. I wish it cud have been a lil better, but then again it cud have been worse., so am happy with 2day.

This is not something that i wanted to write on my blog., but somethings have pushed me to write this down. Recently ppl writin down stuff bout Himesh Reshammiya ., makin fun of his voice n style., starting hate communities and groups against him., grow up ppl ! He's a musician., a singer., a composer., do either of these and then u'll b fit to criticise someone else. I agree that not all songs of his are good., but even top composers like Rahman make bad songs or albums once in a while. If u think some song of his is bad., listen to the good ones.
I also agree that he has a different style of singing., different mind u ., not funny. His voice is like that., so he has to sing like that. Nobody makes fun of Lucky Ali even when he sings entirely with his nose ! Nobody makes fun of Adnan sami even his voice sounds like someone stuffed something deep inside his chubby neck!

The cap.., THE CAP !!! Y has it become the focus ! He's a musician., listn to his music !! The lead singer or Limp Bizkit wears a cap., micheal Jackson almost always wears a hat !
Its very ironic that ppl listen to his songs., hum them., dance to them and still laugh at him with somebody cracks a joke on him. Its actually hypocracy ...,

After many hectic days with tonnes of work along with small problems bugging u like mosquitoes in the dark, in a power cut on a hot summer night ., one good day helps bring a smile of ur face., doesn't it. No wonder I'm smiling so much 2day. Today has been a real good day. Some due work regardin my project was dealt with., met so many friends n familiar ppl in coll 2day that i didnt have time to b bored. I did have a lil problem with my guide 4 the project.,but I think i can overlook that one lil thing coz i had such good day.
I finished all the exam work very liesurely while everybody was runnin around tryin to get things done. The food in the canteen was bad., but its like that evryday., so no complainin bout that.
The best part of the day is that i gotto speak to my one of my best friend after quite a few days. I donno wat was wrong or y the gap ,. but glad its gone ( i hope it is )., but the dumb me didnt talk much. I know., I'm really dumb ., but its just that., we're speakin after a long time., n i didnt wanna do anythin silly to spoil it all again. Better be quiet n good, than talk somethin stupid n ruin it all. I wanna badly know wat went wrong., but again there's no way to find out. Anyways., that can wait., coz we're talking again !!
Guess wat., the good times dont end there. I got two of my good friends join me in the buson the way home. Haleshwar., my classmate n good friend came home n after we had fruit salad with icecream., which felt like heaven after a hot day.,i went to drop him at a pool parlor and ended up playin with him n the rest of the gang ( who're a looot of fun by the way ) for around 3 hours. It was FUN !!!
Came back home., tired n hungry but happy. My eyes are heavy n my whole body's cravin 4 rest., so with this line .,i finish this post.,with a smile on my face of course .
I gather all my energy to do one last dance 4 the day that i've had.
