Diwali Dhamaka .....

This year, i wanted to make diwali a memorable one. Whats better way than celebrating with friends, so i called them over to my home. As they had no other option, they obliged to it :D. sometimes, I dont leave them with any options u c :). I was very much looking forward for this diwali like dravid for test matches after being dropped from one-dayers. As diwali was on friday, it was a longggg weekend. I was literally pestering my mom to arrange things. Our house is more like a hostel where 4 bachelors(we are 4 brothers) n 2 caretakers(mom & dad) stay. No prizes for guessing the untidyness of the place where 4 bachelors stay. So it was sort of herculean task for mom to arrange things n make our home look better than a hostel. For the first time, i helped her :). I have never written anything about my frnds i guess. Better late than never.

Introducing Vishnu and Rama krishna. Yeh dono mere langotia yaar hain. We were classmates in school. Its been 8 yrs now. We have shared everything ... ranging from answer sheets in school exams to unmentionable things till date. We are the main source of income for the theatre guys. Kodi, as we fondly call rama krishna, is a career oriented, disciplined, studious guy, very unlike me :). Uske discipline ke charche ghar ghar mein hain. As it happened that, one day we went for a night show at 7PM at a theatre nearby. This fellow left the theatre after movie interval coz he has to reach home by 9 PM. Even at the age of 22 , he sleeps at 9.30 pm. Now wht do u call him. I can compile a book "kodi ke kaarname" based on his unforgiven actions. Talking about the other one , vishnu, hez a hardworking, puntual chatterbox. He talks everything other than the one required. That too with no due respect to other's ear drums. Hez more interested in the food cooked by my mom( he enquires whenever he comes home). Agar "Dil chata hai" ka koi telugu version niklega tho hum zaroor honge usme :p :p.

*phew* . Hey 2 others guest were there too. Shoba and Jyothi. They are vishu's frnds. I call them chotu(shoba) n motu(Jyothi). Their physical appearence is true to their nick names. This sums up the guests list. Mom was busy in arranging things for the pooja. We all joined mom. We were more eager for the pooja to end so that we can latch onto the sweets that my mom prepared. After pooja, it was time for 'pet' pooja. We collected the crackers bag n walked straight onto my apartment's roof like an army troop carrying its armoury when sent on a mission. We bursted all types of crackers. The rockets were struggling to take off, n even some bursted in our teritory itself. Bajuwalon ke rockets ko dekhkar hi khush hogaye. We had the ball of a time. After a tiring cracker bursting session, we had our dinner. Everyone left after that.

This post is coming a week later. Diwali celebrations are still afresh in my memory. I gues, i got wht i asked for, A memorable Diwali. Hope to celebrate many such diwalis with better rockets though.

Signing off .....

Graphophobia and Jogi :)

Its been 4 months 3 days since i have posted anything here *phew*. Now dont doubt my maths abilities n start scoulding my maths teacher after seeing the last post dated sept 3rd. Its a guest post aur woh mere khate mein nahi ata :p. Coming to the reason for this layoff , therez no reason as such. Saying i was busy wud be as true as narendra modi's non-involvement in godhra riots. Frankly speaking the problem lies in the root. Iam very bad when it comes to writting stuff. I'll paste my gradutation certificate as proof. Its just the lecturer's belief in charity that helped me pass the exams. Jonny gaddar ki kasam , mujhe nahi maloom ee blog kaise shuru hua. It all started in the heat of the moment , now iam feeling the heat to keep it alive. I have been suffering from Graphophobia(fear of writng, I googled it :D) since years. Mere se behtar tho inzamam ki vocabulary hai. One of my frnd had to remind me that i own a blog n its currently deserted :( .

I was in freepool for 3 months n now in a project since 1 month. Now, that sums up the things happening at professional front. One sad news, i left my homeland(manikonda) n now iam in my sasural(madhapur) :p. I have been moved to madhapur for this assignment which is a big assignment in itself. Believe me, the project iam working on right now is the biggest development proj running in wipro , hyderabad. Talking abt the technologies involved, "u name it, we have it" wudn't be an exaggeration. Coming to the inside stories , ppl here wrk till late nights n therez nothing like weekdays or weekends. There was a meeting of the HR with the project developers. She quietly noted all the grievences of the employees in her laptop. Iam sure that file size of the probs list might be 100KB. It was kind of a laugh riot. Luckily the module iam involved in is not hectic right now(can't predict the future u see).

Cricket is keeing me hooked these days. Boss after all we are the world champs in 20-20. That win provided me with one of the happiest moments of my life. I salute to Indian cricket team n especially joginder sharma(i fondly call him 'jogi' :P).








I really have no clue abt how he was selected into the team. When hez bowling u get the feeling that hez begging the batsman not to hit. Last over against aussies was ok as he had 22 runs to defend. But the finals, i wud really want to know how he was feeling at that moment. Final over of the World cup finals that too against Pak, can it get bigger than this. I wud say it was his utter luck n 1 billion prayers that saved the match. I dnt think he wud be seen in the team again unless he goes back to basics n understands that bowler needs to bowl to the wickets.

Now that i have got temporary relief frm Graphophobia :p, u can expect more PJs n more non-sense :D:D.

I wish u n ur family a HAPPY n safe DIWALI .....................
