hmmm...

"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" - Green Day

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

After some time.. i finally made up my mind..hehe..that i should get back to blogging?!..but tht song will always be special for me :)
new year...new hopes.. new challneges.. new oppurtunities..new me??? donno!!
this coming year..for the first time i want to make a resolution...want to get back to tht me.. whom i somehow lost in the race with time... tht me who is still there behind the layers of different shades formed by different strokes of life.... now! thts too much of philosophy for me... neways....
2005 was full of "first time" experiences.. first time flyig out of country.. first time getting a credit card.. first time paying tax!! (strange.. i never realised i also wud grow up to pay tax!!)... first time..visiting a wonder of the world.. first time.. feeling lonely..whn i was literally on the top of the world..(1800ft above ground level, on the top deck of CN tower..world's tallest observation deck)
2006 started with never-thought-wud-come-true wishes ... saw the beautiful niagara falls..and soon..i'll become "veechi atta" from "veechi akka"...and donno what more..
I am looking forward to this new year with all my enthu.. hope i can fulfill my expectations....OM!

itni sakti hame dena daata.. man ka vishvas kamzor ho na..

Dream dreams no one else can see...

They say there is no meaning of your life if you don't dream..but if you get literally crapy dreams.. whadda life u've got!!!
Like the Bryan Adams song goes...
"Free is all you gotta be
Dream dreams no one else can see
Sometimes ya wanna run away
But ya never know what might be comin’ round your way ya ya ya..."
Yday I was up till 4am doing my 457 homework.. and when i slept finally i started dreaming about the course, the problems i was doing... can't recollect excatly but i did come up with a new crapy technique to solve one of the problems.. but who cares!.. Bac home when i was working i used to dream about my projects, my boss(:(( ), the deadlines, during the microstation trainiing toh i used to dream of teh snap points, the errors i did.... all the crap tht i had to take in the morning raat main bhi mera peecha kyon nahi chodta!!! :((
Wanted to read sigmund freud's "interpretation of dreams" before coming to TX but as usual i am too lazy to "read" anything..

Alai Pongeraa kanna...

Some people have such beautiful voice that once you listen them sing, that song reverbrates in your mind all the time. Yday i had the most "musical" drive of my life. And the " Alai Pongeraa kanna..." sang by nethra and smriti, i heard yday is still lingering in my mind..
I thot this wekend will be very boring,with a sketch of what all assignments and homeworks and readings to finish this weekend. But when i woke up on saturday,my room mate asked me if i would like to some to Austin!! and there i was in the car with amnay and nethra...two of the few people i met at TAMU who are absolutely passionate about music. We were going to Austin to pick up Mrs.Shirisha shahank - an upcoming star in bharatnatyam.It was a pleasure to be in company of an upcoming star in bharatnatyam,also the wife of a great fluteist, and nethra, who had the chance to sing with the likes of SPB.We started our drive with my all tiem fav "purani jeans aur guitar.." and loads of good hindi songs and on our way back we played some awesome flute, gutiar and yani!!When i woke up on sunday... my head was aching.. i guess too much of good music is bad for me :-P

Jhonka rita ka...

It all started with a mail frm the ISS :
"Be aware that the current prediction is for heavy rain, hail (balls of
ice that can range in size from 1/2 centimeters to 4-5 centimeters in
diameter), and winds of up to 60+ m.p.h. in College Station on Friday. "
Followed by a walmart trip... never in the wildest dream did we think that walmart wud run out of water and bread! After planning where to seek shelter in case of emergency and packing my backpack with all my "imp documents" and spending some 150 minutes on phone to family and anxiously following local TV channels for rita forecast...finally rita arrived and went off... with a few minutes of drizzle!!!
BUT..but... but... RITA did give us a loooooooooong weekend... and for me.. a reunion with my good freind from SAP'03 - vinita.(and the yummy south indian "ghar ka khana"):D .. desis all around my place..partied hard on friday... didn't see college station (well my world limits to casa del sol and cherry hollow!! )more relaxed before... almost every desi house full of people, movies, booze... and in 1103 casa del sol..veechi having a good sleep!! :) ... no homework no assignment this weekend :D.. but hav to catch up with teh term paper :((..
but did realised something this weekend... hav to either earn enuf money to tour all around teh world..or marry a richie rich :-P .. latter to hone se raha... so better work hard and earn some $$..(god are u listening!!!)
..thank god that we all are safe :)

Maroon and White!!

"The Spirit of Aggieland"
(Words by Marvn H. Mimms; Music by Richard J. Dunn)

Some may boast of prowess bold
Of the schools they think so grand
But there's a spirit can ne'er be told
It's the Spirit of Aggieland.
(Chorus)
We are the Aggies - the Aggies are we
True to each other as Aggies can be
We've got to FIGHT boys
We've got to fight!
We've got to fight for Maroon and White
After they've boosted all the rest
They will come and join the best
For we are the Aggies - the Aggies are we
We're from Texas AMC

(Yell sequence that follows; traditionally deleted at Muster)
T-E-X-A-S A-G-G-I-E
Fight! Fight! Fight-fight-fight!
Fight! Maroon! White-White-White!
A-G-G-I-E
Texas! Texas! A-M-C!
Gig 'em, Aggies, 1-2-3
Farmers fight! Farmers fight!
Fight! Fight!
Farmers, farmers fight!

I wud b making a long jouney after a gap of 7 yrs. wud be travelling 9780 miles in 22 hours.Reminds me of my second last journey to AP .. assam was cut off from teh rest of india ... and yeah coincidently it was teh same day in '97 i guess... no it was end of july... yeah so assam was cut off from rest of india due to heavy floods.. a very common thing for assame folks every year ... i n mom along with some valuables set out to reach hyderabad for the house-warming ceremony of our house... we reached guwahati frm jorhat.. found that trains wud move but frm bongaigaon.. n there is a free bus service to take passengers to bongaigaon.. we left our plans to take teh plane to calcutta (time bad ayte manam emi cheyalemu).. we got into teh bus.. a bus with a capacity of 30 ppl was packed with abt 100 ppl...with luggage..(read ppl as 80% army jawans.. n abt army jawans u hav to see to know how it is..)mom got panicky.. but we cudn't get out of bus so we stayed and let god decide our fate... in that rickety bus.. on that kucha road.. those 4 odd hours were in simple words hell....... to add to the spice.. one sweet elephant of teh village we were going thru decides to block our way.. and refuses to make way unless fed with some 2-3 gellas of bananas..... finally on reaching bongaigaon..(the railway station of which is smaller than bapatla's.. with just 2 platforms) there were hundreds of people trying to get into teh bus even before atleast half of us inside teh bus cud get out... teh driver got irrtated and kept moving teh bus back and forth to control teh tarffic... in this confusion mom got thrown out of teh bus .. i was stuck inside ... after some more hulla gulla i got thrown out of teh bus with my rucksack and a suitcase and a bag whose where about were known neither to me nor mom.. I was then one-third of what i am now .. we two finally after some fighting with teh traffic got together and frm god knows where some1 threw our bag at us.. we spotted an old kuli.. he said he wud lift our stuff.. but we had to see who wud lift him in case :P .. so at the bongaigaon station ... first time in our lives we saw a railway station with only 2 women on teh platforms -me and mom ... the train arrived.. got filled up.. we were guided by an angel in form of an air force officer .. whom we dared to believe on teh ground that he knew my mama (whoz also in air force).. and we three went to occupy a desserted bogie which was supposed to be attached to teh train that wud take us to vijaywada.. i donno how many times mom prayed that day but it really worked and teh bogie was by god's grace added to teh train.. thn on journey was smooth.. but here... some1 else is also involved.. my dad... cut 2.. location hyd... those were teh days without any cell phones or easy acess to telephone... my dad found from our neighbours in assam taht we had made arrangements to take plane to calcutta... we went missing for 2 days! there were announcements for mrs nalini and miss vichika on guwahati railway station,guwahati airport, calcutta railway station, calcutta airport, vijaywada station... dad was worried to core... when we reached vijaywada after our ordeal.. we called him and he was relived... phew! some exp..

sushil kr shinde 

Acharya Nagarjune University 

My sir Arthur Cotton gold medal 

Amazed, Puzzled, Confused...

Just saw BLACK.. well can't say black, saw teh second cd in a rush with FFs... but still... it was good...... i did read helen keller's "story of my life" a bit, but this one was some wht different....shud mention, teh small girl was better than rani :d
was amazed by teh will power and determination of teh girl, was puzzled if such people really exist, was confused about myself....... wht am i achieving with my eyes, ear and voice!!!
teh movie did bring in teh same feelings which i experienced whn i first visited a blind school with ashmita[(hmmmm......those sweet days!! the fun-filled class,writting 15 pages (i am talking abt teh looooong answer sheet like pages!!) long letters to anna, teh pride of owning a keyboard (its been about 5 yrs since i've played it:(), the weird feeling of sophistication of dining in teh air force officers's mess (atta hated me for taht :d), tht scenic NEEP,teh thunder&lightening full rain, the music competetions with my neighbour (wonder wht hez doing now!!), the non stop bathroom singing,(well this is still there:-P), those desperate rounds to children lib in colony trying to get myself interested in reading detective novels and ending up picking books on fashion n cooking :d!!, those lunches @ BBC (still can't figure out how i ate tht american choupsey!!)........ ok ok jana tha japan pahoonch gaye chin :d
the blind school......... it was some experience, ashmita's family frnd was teh school's principal, he also is blind. Must say he sounded sooooooooooooo nice, i was really amazed how he cud manage teh biggest blind school in asssam so succefully, he taught us braille, (well we tried to remmeber but....... donno if ashmita remmebers anything), took us around teh huge campus, i was really amazed how teh blind studnets were stolling around in teh campus liek tehy knew each centimeter of it, i still remmeber teh guy who was walking around playing flute beautifully..... i was so overwhelmed i couldn't stop asking each student's name... we returned taht day with a strange feeling withing us.. hehehe i was also amazed by teh principal's daughter's red with white polka dots skirt:-P, ashmita told me she wore only mini skirts :D. even to school!!!( womder wht shez doing now ;))
Whn i was @ gayatri in vizag, teh bus i took to bac home frm college used to stop at a def and dumb school. one shud see to believe how they converse. I had decided either i wud change teh bus or wud learn sign language....... it really drove me crazy.. there were boys and girls, playing pranks on each other, flirting, fighting, laughing, teasing... doing everything "normal" with their sign language. I used to try so hard to understand wht teh joke was taht i always ended up carcking my head.... cudn't make out even one sentece in those 3 months!!!
now taht i hav mentioned asmita (tuk-tuk for clooooooose pals n family), lemme introduce her. Ashmita Paul was one of teh most intelligent 16 yr old i had ever met. there was something abt her tht reminded me of ashwarya rai teh moment i saw her. my entire class was fida on her whn she joined our school. ashmitaz doing her final yr MBBS at silchar medical college, assam and does not forget to sen dme a sms everyday....... but forgets my bday!!!!!!!hehehhe don worry ashmi. will deffo send u teh cowboy hat whn i get there... :D

Disconnected.....

never ever thought i wud miss anything like this.... being disconnected frm teh rest of world for some 3-4 days... INTERNET... donno whn n how it became an itegral part of my life... i know wht i missed.... ;)...
its really funny how some people try to act smart which actually proves how dumb they r... well happens to me also sometimes... but the sify technician who came over to set right my connection... papom.... :d
neways...
annaz bac. so r teh choclates, the chocolate dates... the lindt...:d
mera no. kab aayega :(

Wadda Year....

Another year,another chapter, another phase of my life comes to an end.... what a yr it was....... some serious growing up... hmm... turning 22 brings in a mixed feeling....... i always wanted to be 22 but now i feel so soon!!
My 21st year was sort of strange.. not my usual days.... guess it was kind of an interphase between the carefree vichi to a lil mature vichi(well... still not all tht mature) working, meeting the gr8 people (found a few ppl i wud really luv to b frndz with).. was a different exp. but basically i remain the same..
overall i was lucky this year....... got my diamonds :D, met some amazing people, got thru a no.14 ranked US univ... hope this coming year is as good n i get to go to TAMU..
This bday was boring but was full of pleasant suprises,was invited to a disco (!!), ppl i least expected to rememeber my bday wished me..... and ppl i thought cud never forget my bday forgot to wish me :( , n some frndz called me up n forgot to wish me !!! well life keeps changing u can't expect things to b same always (!!)
I really hope tht i don forget the bdays of all ppl who wished me whom i expected to wish.... basically every1 i know...
