Chronicles of a Fresher --part1

Ur group of colleagues resembles ur Family

I usually try co-relating what the horoscope says to my daily attitude. Not completely but partially. And not all times too. Then after seeing this in Dilbert comic strip which I daily mail to the entire distribution list I suddenly realized I have formed more than a family. And today it completed the whole with just adding one last person into the picture that makes a perfect family picture.

It all started with day one in the boot camp where everybody is working as mean machines. The aura clung with heavy artillery filled guns like brains. And I being a novice and only known face there is my college mate and he introduced me murali the IIT tag on him made me feel different but he doesn’t seem to worry about it. He is more than casual. In India it happens all the time. IIT means different and treated like highly nurtured aliens bloody prejudice can’t help it.

I was stationed at the gate which let me not to doze off or watch news or play flash games. Then my team formed with great rapidity and struggle. I who always misinterprets stuff made myself look like a egomaniac loosing my self-control which is actually a main effect of break up. Then with a little rough time we all stuck together and recession hit us so bad that we became the formidable five to the recession. And helped each other to evolve as professionals.

Mean while the IITian Murali is quite a chap with lot of energy, he spoke from movies to everything and slowly we got introduced to few more, whose names are preethi, indira and rudrama. Rudrama sounded very odd though she is equal to jhansi in history, but never rudrama found a place for name. Jhansi is quite known.

Then it happened we met our manager whose name is narada and who walks so much fast that his words disappear into air as his walking speed is more than the speed of sound. Initially we all five used to stand at a particular distance, which engineers only can do to grasp what all inputs he used to give while he used to fly on his feet. And we were successful at it and we used to be a team and we worked as one. And this was the first step and we successfully used to get the single sentence he made on the fly and everybody had a word now we used to assemble it and get the info.

The first task was accomplished and we found stunned. The sentence was, “The projects are in pipeline” which we interpreted as “Are the projects in pipeline?”. This made us get a shock and no clue what else to do so left to our rooms for the day. While the war between minds made the air in the Odyssey electrified and people still running the current with their potential… first days of postings… said murali from back and went off with a smile.

Disclaimer: this is a work of fiction. any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental. And one can't blame me as you are relating to it.

Devil in Pinstripes

Yes it is true. The transformation from a grad from IIM into a banker without knowing that he has transformed from a butterfly into devil is the most beautiful transfiguration and the inevitable change is thrilling to put in right words.

Aspiring MBAs and would be bankers must read this for fun. And it kinda astonishes when u being a engineer gets insight of the banking stuff. It was a great delight to read the book. And it does kept me awake whole night and make few more decisions.

I still wonder how greatful one can be to chauffer their better half to the same office. And how dangerous it would be when u are playing hard ball in the office and ur whole life entangles into it. I never tried if god was a banker but I will now.

There were no fantasies hyped in the whole novel. And that is the best part of it also as it makes u feel better to stick to ground and don’t loose reality.

The day started by four with more energy than ever. With lot to finish and did finish more than I thought. And learnt more things in my office.

Great day for me after a night with Devil in Pinstripes.

I am dying to write this…

I am dying to write this…
It had been long time….
It all started with a fever in October. And later jayeebhava and bumper offer on a weekend to watch and a friend paid a visit… so planned for bumper offer with my friend on my roomie’s bike.

And accident happened like this.

I am smiley.. an innova took a U-turn and it’s mud guard came off it and came across the road and came under the bike… while I was imagining no less than NFSMW I rode fast thinking that my hitting would make it roll like shown in ads though had fear inside so applied brakes and tat helped to skid easily and fall…

Then I thought of writing then itself but didn’t. I am dying to write this…

And next week my roomie cleared SAJP certification.. as far as I remember. In the same week I changed my stream from verification to physical design, which happened to because of business requirement not my talent.

Then I had acute supporative otitis media which is in normal words severe ear pain… with physical design training going on one side and pain on enduring on other side I didn’t notice the developments in my life. I grew slim because of swimming and pain. Which again reversed. Then I am revoked to my full salary. I flied all over from Hyderabad to kochi sponsored by my employer. There along with training we had graet trips into athirapally, mazhakapura then azhapuzha…

Then I thought of writing then itself but didn’t. I am dying to write this…

Then came back to Hyderabad that is in turmoil and I found my room empty and vacant.. and not comforting as I see my roomie is not there who got transferred to Bangalore. Now, with nothing to do by waking up early in the morning previously used to go to swimming. I start early to my office and come out late by 9.

While my new roomie is a guy who works at nights.. leaving the void and making me sense the loss of my old roomie. And with my current volatile state of volatility I am half packed. Watching arya 2 thrice for friends and with friends was fun. Though third time I dozed off.

Then I thought of writing then itself but didn’t. I am dying to write this…

In the whole period I didn’t miss a movie either in kochi. Which is my new addiction. With 2 states finished in a day. Or hardly 6 hrs. got news songs into mobile. And procured my new data storage bin. With none to share, it is always a void so decided to get married for which I am not ready. [I was never ready for anything from school to college]. So with girl friend options seemingly less in the current global financial crisis nothing left but going to arranged marriage.

And don’t know this time what all are in the box. Every time great things happen after a great pain in my life. This ear pain was one of those joining the line of incidents like burns, broken tooth and severe fever after four years. Let us see then… what else is there.. :D

AVATAR a visual treat and a great movie too.. and lot of things in the movie will surely go over the head with people who are not well-versed with englipeese movies. people can't make it gripping because of the problem with the characters. many might have seen such movies of rebellion. like district 9 and avatar and lot more are on the same line of stories. so, that would have been a problem. But, still it was worth for the first show on first day.

Now I am dying to nothing… eventually I happened to live…. After writing this… so.. that’s it…. A lot can happen over a month :D and also a coffee.. so going for a coffee bye…

2 States…

A gripping one, after long time from Chetan. I am not going to be a critic as the aura is still lingering above me of the book and their characters. I loved this book because I am also some one who lived and enjoyed tamilnadu. This book is more fun to those who left chennai. I promise… it will make u feel nostalgia.

Punjabi thing is ok. I neither do know much about the culture. So, can’t comment much on it. The novel just looks like bollywood movie made by some big banners and great promotion techniques. Later after the release few problems arise due to the dialogues and scenes that hurt regional people. Then after one month or two people will forget and occasionally jokes fly when two cultures meet.

That is all about this book. The hero character crafted perfectly as a man with turbulence who didn’t wear turban. And heroin is no less. Most of the narrow minded people will be unable to accept her character. But her character is the best part of the whole book. More Punjabiness was indeed needed.

How middle class fantasy kids are bid for dowry. How everybody aims for WPM MNCs.
Nice one must read for all my blog readers.

I rate it 4.75 out of 5.

Ek Niranjan Review....

Simple and beautiful execution

I never planned for a review. But, I still care to give one to say that I can guarantee minimum that you will never get bored in the movie. And after long time it is a movie where one have to never think of anything apart from watching movie. Usually now a days all movies are kind of sinusoidal in their entertainment category..

Coming to plot:
Protagonist will be taken away by a guy who uses small kids for begging. Then one day after few years the grown up kid makes the guy who kidnapped him to go behind bars and gets rewarded.

Now knowing that he gets rewards he captures all the notorious rowdys and gets the reward something like a bounty hunter.

With nobody to share and nobody to care he will be searching for his parents and finds his love and while his profession brings him more danger than income.
Analysis:
That is how it goes… dialogues are good… fights are simple…. Songs are all taken in more different way leaving us to feel the difference. There is more emphasis is on story and screenplay rather than on dances and songs. which was a bad point.

In second half it drags a bit in the middle that also for some small amount of time to prepare ground for climax. Which would have been better taken in the same location. And avoided even that lag.

As all are comparing to POKIRI… which is the kiri kiri… actually this movie is more better than pokiri.. and got a different story line too…

Comedy is ok but not boring…. And neither much tickling…
Sticking to story line would have helped more making people to be on their seat edges..

Best Parts:
Sonu…. Ultimate performance on screen.
Prabhas…. As usual doing good.
Kangana…… Thought she would be a disaster but she is great.
Brahmi…. Did his best
Ali………. Is wonderful and uff atlast he didn’t do some rotten comedy….


Final verdict: Must watch you will enjoy….

I don't know, i felt good. I ain't suggest anything... watch it...on screen...

Break up letters-II

Hello Lady,

How are you? I know you are doing well. Your name doesn’t ring much in my mind like the first person on the list. And you are the last one. The very big name of yours was always difficult for me to say and I didn’t find anything small to use as your nick name. Usually you use to be stubborn on your nick names. So, I am grateful that I don’t have to get another child to name after you. :P

Hmmmmmm……… what should I write for you? I have decided to tell you how I felt rather than that I can say that it took me a whole year and few kilos to forget you. Actually I knowing that you are inclined into me I didn’t take the step soon which left me being heavy at heart and body.

When I found you I was actually looking for a companion to lean on, and I still remember that those very long chats, thanks to gtalk and prolonged initial conversations on phone which were purely practical. I have to admit that I found you not so much interesting, but, I found that I can rely on you and you can be the one who can help me go through lot of things with ease.

I do miss your attitude of making things easy for me. I do appreciate your generousness and humanitarian nature. I always had the urge to propose to you on the very day you donated blood. But, I kept that urge to myself. Because, I knew it was the great step in one’s life to choose the one as companion. This kept me holding my desire to express. Actually what kept me on hold is the doubt of failure. It was scary and that led me to be choosy.

Sometimes some people are so cool and good that anybody and everybody can fall in love with them. And you are such a person. Your whole family is lucky. And again this time rather than coming straight into your gully and lighting candles for you at midnight to say I love you I called. :P and is again a dumb act but I had no choice left as time was running out.

I might have pursued you or gave hope or belief to come with me If I came in person.. But, that was too late as you got engaged. I was angry, devastated, and crushed and as I came to your city and without you it was more lonely even with my best friends around me I felt alone. Then I understood why people prefer suicide when their loved ones die.

What else can I write? You are a wonderful person. I did like you. If we stayed together I might have fallen in love with you. What made me get crushed is I wove all my life, almost every part of my life around you. You were there always and I just didn’t notice. When you suddenly pulled out I had nothing but a void and all strings of my life dangling in an empty space. I didn’t do anything hasty to fall in love again to avoid total crumble down.

I did crumble down and learnt more. You are such a good feeling. I am not missing that now any more. Yupp, I am happy at least now that I have discovered the good feeling because of you stayed with in me. And I was too busy to blame or carve for some support recognizing it. You are a great passing cloud. The rain you brought on me is working.

Don’t forget, I will for sure make your kids run around my kids. And then we can discuss dowry too :P

Regards,

Me…..

P.S: I like you.

Break up letters-I

Hi _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _,

I never thought I will write to you like this. And I never had an idea too… Today whenever I am suffering from lot of emotional imbalance the only name I still remember is yours. You are special in my life. And you will be forever. But, being you special didn’t help you to name my children after you, whom I will be having eventually.

Now, I don’t even remember the face of you exactly. But, when your name still rings in my mind the smile on your face I still remember and also the expression of innocence on your face. When you wrote the reply to my proposal which I made through my e-mail, which is the dumbest act as per my best friend, and it is dumb too…. As I never seen what you felt. I was more concerned of my feelings for you rather than yours to mine.

I grew insecure to write that e-mail after seeing everybody getting paired up. And you being the first one, for me to love or assume to be more than a friend needed for life or infatuation. It is not your problem and it is not at least your duty to fulfill the expectations. I do hat’s off to you as you did correct and lived up to it.

I joined the tuitions, which I never needed, to see you early in the morning at six when you used to go tuition but not the same. I did laugh to the dumb jokes your dad made. I did mail you with intentions of love, not as a friend.

I wept when you rejected. But, after a week, when ever I used to read your mail, I used to burst into laughs. Because of those red lines in the last telling that, “If I ever try to see you or meet you again you don’t know what your dad will do?” I still don’t know what your dad will do??? Who pours kerosene to run his chetak. No offense.

I am not asking you back, I am not asking you to regret [which you won’t], I just felt that this letter should be written. And you said all those famous dialogues from movies of those days. Like: “I always thought you as great friend; You took advantage and wrongly interpreted the signals by me;” and I am happy to say that you never told me that I was like your brother. Lucky me.

Have a great life and I did learn a lesson…. You are special…. There is no need for you to take this on any more.

Regards,

Me….

Appealing to EGO—Is Love?

Having aloo paratha with no oil served hot with tomato achar is a delight with a hot tea beside. While eating my mind just flipped through few movies, which led me to initiate the thought process and start the conversation. With my roomie who eventually is the victim. :P of my weird thoughts.

I said that appealing to one’s ego will be the only reason and the cause to fall in love. Or to put it simple, when your ego gets satisfied then you fall in love. It sounded weird to me in the beginning.

Case 1:

Assume you have a guy/girl and you are flirting with him/her and he/she is comfortable with you around and you are trying to impress him/her and which is eventually making him/her comfortable. And now that person being happy in the comfort zone and never leaves. Suddenly one day a person can be opposite sex or the same one, shows up with their attitude.

And as this new person’s attitude is so different from the gang he/she hang’s out. Now, being bored after prolonged stay in the comfort zone, the guy/girl feels that he/she is neglected. So, they now to satisfy their ego, they go around this new person.

And when anybody is doing this they feel the satisfaction by seeing the change in the person’s attitude and growing interest on him/her. This being new to this guy feels that he/she is made for her/him. They propose and live happily ever after.

Conclusion: To be in love you needed to be satisfied with your ego and be at right time in one’s life when they are bored.

Here the ego makes us fall in love.

Case 2:

You both are friends from childhood and living your life happily and felt that you will be happier if you continue this for ever through out your life. So, those two decided to fall in love and continue their journey and they lived happily ever after.

Conclusion: Why can’t they try others? Why did they only stick to themselves? What made them do that? The answer would be the fear of loss. Something they can’t take it. They feel that they both make the better match and don’t depart.

It is like a little cub being in zoo and never taught hunting can never do hunting. So, the fear of not knowing to get food makes it to stay in the zoo. The same logic applies to the above stated category of people too…

Here for those the pain of not changing is less than the pain of changing.

From here me and my roomie argued that as I was only considering hypothetical things and what I talk is bull shit.. Which many may accept also…. :D

Case 3:

Now the third type is the people who are in dire need of emotional support or anything. Some times when you are wounded all you search is for a shrine. But, shrine can’t be a home. Home becomes a shrine. But, shrine can never become a home.

Based on the above statement what I try to pull out is, when you are in need of something, and somebody provides you with that. You will be thankful and can return their help in future in whatever form they needed rather than that what do us eventually do is to go fall in love with them and continue our lives with them.

As mentioned earlier the need is temporary one have to evaluate options before going in for a commitment. Being thankful is not love. And instead of repaying we end up committed to wrong person ruining both lives.

Conclusion: When you are out of relationship you weave everything of your life with that person and when that person quits you don’t want to hang in vacuum so you catch hold of a helping and live there.

Here the fear of not having anything leads them to fall in love.

Case 4:

As I am not writing a book anything as of now, I will end with this last case. You will be married which is arranged. What one does is to adjust and love the person and it will be same from the other side too. All you have to do is chill and carry on with what you are doing.

Now suddenly one day you find a perfect match for you and you will be more than happy with that person. But, you can’t go with that person as you are entangled in a bond. After pursuing hard I came to know that few are willing to go if the married person is ok with it. And many won’t leave the partner at all if they had kids.

And many condemned the concept that perfect person for me is an absurdity and it will not be there as nobody is perfect. So, my wife or husband is what or whom I love and live with.

Conclusion:

Fear of being blamed by society.

Fear of being not loyal.

Fear of uncertainty. [Assuming that the new person may leave like you who left your family]

Fear of loss of belief.

There is nothing wrong in falling in love with anybody. If that person is in love with another and they both are happy. We shouldn’t have to interfere. Have to just stay on the beaches by not boarding to sail for life with them. Because those two’s egos are appealing to each other.

Emotional need, fear, and many more lead us to fall in love and everybody has their own reason to be in love. And there is nothing wrong with that. Just stick to what ever you do. Once done be happy with it. And stop regretting. That will help us all to lead better lives and have faith on our fellow beings.

Hope this was helpful to judge my title.

Diwali…

Like every time this time also it helped me to be more happy and fun and also take great decisions. From Friday with blue as the first on movie marathon in cinemax it sucked.not only cinemax but also blue.

Evening with eagle eye it was awesome. Then night wake up sid made it more refreshing and riding hyd at nights is fun too…. Check the pictures. Then with lunch at chenna’s home made by aunty was a delight. With main aur mrs. Khanna as a third movie it was fun too. It was a simple movie which appeals more to grass roots of emotions. Next stop at raghu’s place, where aunty made awesome food and we had nice chat.

Then headed back to room too tired watched 21 then finished it on next morning. Then finished mamma mia a beautiful movie. Then went on to finish the marathon by going to all the best which is fun riot and a decent movie too.. and later hot rod… which was slapping destiny on face. :P

That ends the diwali………

Shopping is a Stress buster

Shopping is not the fag end of life any more. It is the motivation; it is the essence and need of the life. It is the only one everybody can rely on as it will be always there for you whether you are sad or happy or even if the fur flies with someone u love or icky or what ever your emotional state is. The only one that is the savior for you to settle your flying feathery emotions is shopping.

Therefore one can say it is the ultimate stress buster. So, when you don’t shop for a month, don’t tell me that you are free from stress. Try this once and let me know. Shop for your whole month and stay home every weekend and do nothing except watching tv or what ever you want. Try to stay not even buying a gift for yourself or for your friend on his/her special occasion. Even if something very urgent and needy comes up like medicines ask your friend to get that but you never shop.

After a month you carve so much to go to a mall and buy what all you want and tell me that how happy one can be. Why is it so great to shop? Why is that we always work so hard to buy something? Or end up paying for what we have bought. The first answer comes into your mind is that for needs, then sometimes comfort, then sometimes luxury.

And many times we don’t recognize that even beyond all this the main reason would be stress, guilt or the words like those. To satisfy the ego we usually shop. To follow somebody’s lead in fashion we end up buying. I am not telling that buying clothes for every festival is wrong. I am telling that whether needed or not we buy for those occasions.

Why so? The gospel truth is that we always work to buy something and once bought the tv says that something better is there then we go again and buy. Again go to work. Then again buy something because your friend or neighbor had. Sometimes to feel yourself better as the person you admire you buy things that he wears or he suggests in ads. Again go to work. When you buy something every body in your family will be happy. And for that we all wanted to board the gravy train.

Now that your whole family is happy on these new purchases you go back and buy. We make kids to do the same again by indulging them in the materialistic things. When the whole world is working—then feeling bad about something—then going for shopping. And this is going on and on again.

Here I am left with nothing…. To write much… so it ends here…. Hope the shopping stress buster won’t suck you down… and if you don’t shop, don’t get stressed///
