Drifting Of Dearest Friends

Ever noticed how at this stage of life one by one our friends have started drifting away from us - transforming into formal acquaintances from close friends? Some reason or the other, we are getting separated from each other. It troubles me, might be because the adolescent kid inside me has not yet been able to give way to adulthood so as to have enough strength to face these harsh realities. I still find myself immature, troubled with slightest difficulties... In about an year, I would be away from all the close ones, I knew that. Few of them from my College are even getting married! And it descends upon my heart like a melancholy for no obvious reasons.Will friends stay close with the passage of time? Its difficult to predict, even more difficult to observe yourself. Sometimes I feel I'm getting too much involved in things, or getting too much social, but what's the problem with that? I wonder if there would be a day when everybody would be busy in their professional lives and would lose meaning of our friendship. I just wish that never happens. I read somewhere - Friends don't drift apart universally with time. It's your own decision to shut off your eyes, so that you don't acknowledge them.

RDB --- Reality Defined Brilliantly

Off late, I have watched many Hindi and Telugu Movies,But one Movie which had struck the strings of my heart and rang a thousand bells is Rang De Basanthi (RDB)


It says - A Generation Awakens... And it tries the best shot.

In this contemporary rendering of the legendary story of Bhagat Singh, director Omprakash passes on the message to the young generation brilliantly and almost effortlessly. In an unusual but highly effective format, the scenes shift from historical to contemporary settings flawlessly and it's easy to assimilate the smooth transitions. A.R. Rehman's music with Prasoon Joshi's lyrics create a magical effect.

With its great script, the movie keeps the audience spellbound. The imagination, however, becomes too much in the latter half of the movie when, in protest of Ajay's flight accident, the five young men shoot the defence minister and then broadcast their feelings on the radio.
The movie poses a problem - of the nation gnawed by politicians. But, leaves it at that point without giving a solution. It fills the youth with enthusiasm, with aggression, with devotion, but stops at that. Swades, on the other hand, was more realistic with a direct message.


P.S. One particular line which I found more than impressive : "College de gate de is taraff, hum life ko nachaatte hain... to dujji taraf life humko nachaatti hai... dhim lak lak dhim dhim lak lak!!"

Thirsty Days....

I was just skimming through My old Diary of B-tech 2nd year and 3rd year where I found This masterpiece of mine,thoght it would certainly deserve a place in my blog

That was those parched dry summers in Anantapur where my entire B-Tech guzaaraa thaa, It was like finding an Oasis in a desert,when one looked for Rain.I still remember the day when I wrote this little poem,Just after comming from the Cricket match against the CSC branch in the College Tournament.....
It goes....

Rain rain where thou art
Bless the earth before it shatters apart

This unrepentant sun and this sultry sky
Gnawing my heart wherever I lie

My dry lips and my thirsty mind
And pains and agonies of all kind

My hands which could never learn to pray
And my heart which has only one thing to say

That its eternal hope sees that elusive light
That one speck among the existing plight

Move on where your dreams take you
Who says they don’t come true?

Treading forward on this thorny path
Whatever be the fury or the wrath

For, there awaits my dream, my soul
O rain! drench me and make me ‘whole’.

Start Believing In what ever You want to Coz U never know Which Comes out to be the exact outcome from The unknown....

Shailu's wedding

Shailu's marriage was really good,except the journey to Tadipatri.God that was damn disgusting!!!! No bus services from Anantapur, as once again faction brokeopen its hoods killing one in Tadipartri, there was complete Bandh in and around Tadipatri.... but Divya,Pradeep,Guru and I somehow managed to catch a bus atlast at about 12 midnight,thanked God for that, and in high spirits happend to meet most of my friends there at the wedding on the next day morning, some of them after about 9 months maybe...Still that one thing was aching pretty much....Bitkoo dint even bothered to say me bye before leaving......Had to say her good bye from distance, from my heart to hers...We stayed....she left!!!! Dont know why she behaved like that.....My bestest friend Ramakanth dint come to the marriage as he was suffering from fever

Well,I should be a really very happy man after looking at my monthly Airtel mobile bill today,385/-Thats about 75-80% less than my previous bills...Eurekha.....the reason for the drastic plumetting???? ha ha ha change of rate plan.....I have called all my keith and kin as always but really bedazzled looking at this!!!! "Thanks AIRTEL"

I should kick myself now as I could not call early to wish Ammi on her birthday,Dad called me and reminded me of my little sis's birthday I was a stupid to wakeup at 11 AM that day.....I dint forget to wish any of my friends on their birthdays...To be frank all my class mates wondered how I could remember everyones Birthdays to call them first, to wish before anyone did.I planned to present the i-pod which I pleaded my friend to get me from the states, to her.....But not to be now, as she is still 600 miles away in Hyderabad....

<< Most Confusicated Beings >>

It has never been so easy to understand the girls in my life....One beckons to back me up, wants me to care for her always,but hell is this!!!! why does she not understand me attimes,when I blub to be a bit busy with my schedules....I happen to scribble these words coz,the other day snippy almost flodded in tears when she called me and I could not talk my words with that utter freedom, as I was before my PC at my Office.says I am a changed man now....brag!!! nothing seemed to be so stupid after these words blew up my ears.....

Well, the other one din't even call for a long time,I dint even know her mobile no now as she was having high time at some other place away from her working environ.But I am sure when we come across at the wedding to be attended tommorow,she will blush in style as if she was waiting for me as never, I have to keep my nerves, to not to expose how badly I was hurt all these days,just to keep our so called "Best friends" tag intact.Chal !!!! The stories keep comming on and on,and I knew none is to be with me for my life forever....

Flight Of Imagination

Even the thoght of last wednesday brings nightmares....I was caught by the agitatted crowd while I was on my way back home after IBM declared an open holiday to all its Employees concernd for the employee safety....Even the next day was also an announced holiday by the Government of the state.So we had an extented holiday for five days....From Wednersday to sunday,But we were deprived of any means of entertainment in the city for 2 days,No parks were open no theaters functioned,none of the hotels or restraunts were serving their customers...It was tough to find food outside.All the roads were blank as never before,wanted to travel in those duely abandoned roads of Bangalore to reach my office in 10 minutes but threat overrode my wish.

Before that,on wednesday just as we started our work @ office, we heared news of the demise of the famous kannada thespian Rajkumar,as the news floated all around,it triggered great pandamonium in the city,Crowd went heywire,there was arson and loot in many places,people panicked to reach home soon,Broken glasses of buildings thronged all the roads...fear in the faces was vividly visible everywere....

Twodays after this happend.... Saturday,City wokeup roaring loud....People breathed a sigh of relief after mourning to the death of the legendary actor.All the chaios forgotten by everyone.....Hotels and foodcourts resumed their bussiness.....this helped us watch a movie for comforts on saturday night with all my friends......
