~~~My Birthday Bash~~~

Turning 23,and rocking to the core....Come what may, I can do anything in this world now.Marry anyone whom I want to :p,and even compete for the post of PrimeMinister of INDIA!!! seems the world has grown to a tincture tiny land after I grew 1 year older yesterday.The most beautifull phase of life is where I am standing now,a stage where I dare to take decisions on my own with out any pursuits.Take the courage to decide on anything,self. Now,swap to mybirthday yesterday, and I can say with out thinking twice that it was the best, that I had in my life.leaving the small pain of beeing away from my family and the pain of taking the bumps at my back apart,it was a fun filled and a very happy day through out.Never in my life did I cut four cakes on my birthday.

Thanks for each and every one Snippy, Shanthi and aunty, Pinky, Santu, Bhagath, kiran, pavan, A.Sreenu, TS, phani, Divya, Boochi, Vissu, Devi, Khanna, Chandu, Rani, Sakroo and all my family Mom, Dad, Ammi,Sujji, Baachi, Kittanna, Roja, Taatayya & Ammamma, baby Akka who kept awake to wish me at that mid night. Special thanks to Shaym , Shashi, Geethakka, Sudhir, Fatima, Dummy for keeping the thought of my birthday and calling all the way from US to wish me at 12.

Then I would also like to wish thanks to all my friends who wished me throught out the day. Bunny, Raji, gowri, Chitty, Rahul, Phani, Suresh and to every one whom I missed here.I was really wonderstruck after some of my old school friends called me with my birthday in their mind to wish, thanks raa Prem, Sowjanya, ramya, Laddu, paappri, lillu, bodi, kallu, gorre, mohsin, srikanth.Then,hundred thanks to all my team at office Vidya, sreeni, Gokul, Sowmya, harish, Deena, Mohan, Subbu, Ramesh for making this birthday very eventfull.My roomies had to shut the tone of my ringing mobile while making me cut the cake, thanks for every one who tried calling me during that time, and sorry for that :(( Thanks, thanks and thanks for all those messages which kept flooding all day.

All my b-tech classmates would kill me if don't mention every one here who called me and sent me mails,I thank everyone dear for all those fantastic mails wishing a Happy Birthday.I also was surprised when I received calls from about 15 pals from my orkut,wishing me a rocking B'day,thanks dudes for everyone by name,then thanks for every one who increased the scrap count by about 100 in my orkut with all those wishes.

Then, thanks a ton for all my dearest darlings Modi, vinil, JV, Srikanth, Rats, Ravi, Bunny, for all the surprises and pain they have taken in making a really wonderfull day in my life. I can never ever forget this.Well friends if all this sounds as some acceptance speech for some prize or accolade, then yes,It was really a prize,and I am very glad to say this :)cant believe so many ppl who do think of me soo much :).Friends thanks once again for all the calls you made, for all the surprises, gifts and lasting memories you left me with to carry forward ......I am really overwhelmed to know that I have so many friends .. :) Perhaps this realization was the best gift I got this BDay :).You really made my life a happier one to live with lot of memories.It was all because I had friends like you,I possiblly cant forget to thank every one for the fear of loosing any one." THANKS FOR BEEING MY FRIENDS" and hazaar hugs to every one :p.

Back to the birthday night,all my roomies made me cut the cake, and that was followed by a grand sitting party by pradeep for him getting placed in IBM-ISL.We enjoyed a lot that night.My mobile din't stop ringing for 2 hours.I received plenty of calls and messages from all my friends wishig me a very happy birthday.The honours of wishing me first were taken by snippy,who refused to cut the call,calling me 15 minutes before 12 midnight :p (No kidding around she spoke these words anyway!!!).Then I called Rama my best friend who I know was waiting for my call,to wish me.that was it,then the flood of calls stormed in.

I had a blast of a ceremony that night.Pradeep, Mahesh, Guru, PC, Ragz, Maruthi, Buchhi, Gumpu thanks for each one of you guys for making my birthday night a real memory.

The second innings started at office,my team really surprised me with all their wishes,A big b'day card, signed by all my friends was kept infront of my desk welcoming me to peep in to it, to see what it was with curiosity,I was really amazed when there was this HBD song comming from that and all of them rushed in with boquets,wishing.I was also surprised to receive a Happy Birth Day mail from my Manager when I opend my mail box(that was automated I guess),he came to me and wished me in personal though.we all then went to our Food court,and had a good brunch of snackees.

Then it was the turn of all my dear friends at IBM including my Almaz mates,to get together for yet another cake cutting event,this was ofcourse followed by bang at my back,Vinil replaced my "Birthday" with "Bumps day" in the morning invitation to all,(the photos says it all!!)I was kicked like anything!!! as if every one was waiting to take revenge for some thing done,the worst one was from Modi fellow,he kicked so hard,that he was limping in pain after that turned famous jetli kick!!!I was really made a butt.Almost 17 members, and they almost got my life out of me.

I knew there were a few more hungry beasts :p waiting for the same at my second home in Modi's room.JV, Srikanth, Raghu, Musham, Aggi, and all other roomies were waiting for me, and this time I knew cutting cake will just be a trivial and mere act and will go in to oblivion as the more important upshot was again Bumps at my back,believe me the beatings which I had earlier are to be said as many muchs lesser when compared to what I had now.God i was gasping for breath,yelling to stop the kicks,I had to hold everything tight for 2 minutes as I could not do anything,The situation was even worse after the 15 minutes of ass kicking,I could not sit.I was literally pleading to stop by falling at their feet to stop!!!! after all that Shoor and hungaama it was like end of Tsunami. We all had good supper together,I hosted a treat to every one,then we played games till mid night,and I went to bed with all those lasting memories of this fantastic day.

HARSH REALITIES

I was born in such a topology. I have always been around muslim friends ...in my neighbourhood,at my school,in playgrounds and every where.I never saw any of them as a different cluster,not as individuals with different perspectives about any thing that I or for that matter any other person had.Sameer, Afzal bhai, Shoaib, Aftab, Afsha and Asma ansari, Mohsin, Abdulla, Faaroq and many of my friends were very dear to me as anyother one was. In no contrast were they known as muslims except by religion,they were normal students or residents or what ever. I still remember all my muslim friends cheering Indian cricket team when they were playing against pakistan in 1996 worldcup semis.Well, I should say that I am proud to be said by them as their friend.They say they are Indians first before being born as a muslim.you can't deny the blood dripping in the nerves with patriotism when you listen to those words.But now,most of the pennings by scribes and the media worldwide specially in the west are portraiting the muslim community as barbarian and ill emotic. I don't find any of the muslims( specially in INDIA) around me with any strong feelings to spread terrorism.We were told that no Indian was part of Al-Qaida and that almost always the leadership of groups responsible for domestic terror came from outer borders may be PoK or stil farther. All that was roughly true. So how come we suddenly find ourselves hemmed in by, as one top official put it, "concentric circles" of terror with in our country. Because as those pronouncements were being made, a quiet radicalisation of a few Muslim minds in non-conflict areas of India has happened and gone unnoticed. And to the point while our intelligence agencies are realising that,and trying to take on the enemy in this global, asymmetric war, the foot soldiers confronting them are young boys from the most unlikely hinterlands of India. What happened here? The easy answer is that frustrated young Muslims are being brainwashed and lured with dollars arranged for, by extreme Wahabi and Salafi groups and passed through agents in Dubai, Doha or Qatar or ISI operatives in Nepal and Bangladesh,making them corrupt with sentimental attachments conflicted in their minds for driving their families. Most of the movies in INDIA too depict the same,but the harsh realities are very much different, in denail to those happy endings which we watch in theaters.their lives lead them no where after finding themselfs trammeled in worst situations.But Still ,there are many Muslims led organisations and helping bodies striving to eradicate the terrorism from its root in INDIA and make this place a happy home for every one to live in,and urging other INDIANS not to look at every musalmaan as a terrorist.That is true.Touchwood!!!. I too want to see the brotherly hood growing among all INDIANS. We are all INDIANS,irrespective of our caste creed,religion or any differences, fighting against all external voids trying for coercion of nationalistic differencess and instilling fear and panic by creating mahem with uncivilian terrorist activities in our counry. I will try my part for sure,long live Indians ........Meera BHARATH mahaan.

The past memories.....

I suddenly felt this need to jotdown what ever I remember right from the day I can think of,since my birth. for the fear of loosing the thought of what is meandering through the axons of my brain now.The supporting epigrams were in todays Astro predictions which said....

LEO (July 23 - Aug 23) :This will be a fairly relaxed and undemanding time for you. Minor incidents can evoke strong memories and make this day a strongly nostalgic one.Try reminding your past.You need to control your emotions and avoid making rash decisions.You must save yourself from wasting the valuable energy in imagination only.

Evoking the thoughts from deep slumber at the depths of my brain,reminiscent of the bygone days....

The first thought which comes to my mind is the day when I celebrated my third birth day at my village in the presence of almost half of the population,the photos clicked about 20 years back on that day, keep that memory still afresh.
Then I remember playing with a little girl hours together amidst hundreds of toys (and that special Dog toy)with hand in hand guarding her everywhere she went,later I was told that she was my dearest little sister.
I also remember often running to my life's first friend Sameer's house (in Asifabad), with an flummoxed expression on my face when ever I watched that monster chariot on my way to his house.
I remember my grandfather bribing me with a chocolate to drive me to school each day on his atlas bicycle.
I also remember the day when a big King cobra slithered out from the kitchen and I was the only one in that room,baal baal bach gaya thaa. (I was 7 then, I suppose )
I remember my mom comming to school daily and make me eat my lunchbox which had a lots of fruits and all my favorites every day
I can never forget those days when I carried the onus of bags and lunch boxes of me and my sister on my bicycle,and those cycle races which we had in our lunch breaks at school.
How can I ever forget those days when we went for swimming in the canals of Manair dam,with out intimating our parents.
I remember all the big boys playing football in the playground and me just watching them play and kicking the ball back to them when ever it went out of the boundary line.That was when I learned my first football lessons.
I always get to my mind those cricket matches won and lost against other schools in the tournaments held.I own a lot to that college ground which left me with lot of memories.
I remember the day when Santu,Pavan and I went out to take our group photo as I was leaving for karimnagar from Jagtial after my dads transfer.We were the best friends for almost 12 years.
Then,I remember my Parents,teachers,relatives and friends praising me for accolades and Prathibha award in tenth standard for securing 7th rank in the state.
After that,The cricket match played against Vijayawada,(after a challenge made by them) team at our Gowtham college which we won,is another memorable event from my intermediate days which I cannot forget.
The day when I attended the council ling for entry in to Engineering college at Masab tank is another memory which makes me proud for making my way to JNTU.
"THE COLLEGE" every moment at college is a cherished memory,now, I lost the count of how many times I have said this.I still remember everything from my college days,special were the days when I have taken my first year results,the get together which we celebrated in first year,the day when 14 of my friends went for a second show movie in one single auto,The tournament in which all the 28 branches in the college participated,(we lost it in the Final).The adieu to our seniors,The final External viva day,The last days when we parted with tears flowing ,I loved every moment at my college and remember every single moment from this recent past.

And now after those four wonderfully treasured and enjoyed years I don't say this last one year at IBM as past....So may be I will Update this post after one more year .......

Bang In Bangalore

It was Rocking!!!!! I meant it was really,I could not find a better adjective to Dads regular monday morning question,How was your weekend? after all those bored and languid weekends,when I was craving for that extra bit of difference to add a pinch of pepper to my weekend life style,this weekend was one real cool outing which I had for quite a long time.All thanks to pinky first and many more to all my friends who decided at a single quip to skip their plans for the weekend and gather.yes,It was the all class get together of me and my B-Tech classmates residing in Bangalore,I knew every one was missing that togetherness that we had all those four years at our college,and may be thats the only reason that made this meeting possible without much Strenuous effort.After that late night Brazil-France match,I wokeup to the phone call from pinky,She came out with this fantastic idea of assemblage at some place,she made sure everyone here in Bangalore is informed about this plan,after that,all that we were awaiting was a meeting place and we all voted for a theater to meet.So Pradeep, Pinky, guru, Divya, Sushmitha, Uppu Gumpu and I all went to the Pallavi theater for the movie Vikaramarkudu.Infact that was just a lame bait I would say, to attract everyone to a single place (but we broght the tickets in black U know !!!).After that we all spent some time in the nearby Cubbon Park for about three hours talking to each other,we ate a lot of this infamous road side stuff which we call.Our minds needed that badly than our stomachs to be frank,it was console to our lost lifes.It was fun all way,I thanked Pinky multiple times for making this weekend a memory and a successfull one .We took lot of photos together played pranks on eachother,it was long time since we had such quality time,for one moment we felt we were back at college."It was a fantastic experience",I heared this from almost eveyone.We also bid bye to suchi as she was leaving for pondicherry for some coaching in Mainframes.Exquisitely planned and well executed for perfection,this joinforce made everyones heart lighter.
