Pursuit of Happiness - Done !

Finally. I achieve. A long hard fought battle. And I win. I get to do justice to my previous blog . Persist, and you win. I am flying to the United States on the 26th of December. There is a whole big list of people I would want to thank. And I will in detail in my next blog. This blog is only to tell you people that am the happiest person on earth at present. Two reasons, One : Am going to the states , Two : Someone I liked, respected and cared genuinely and never realised is back in my life. This time I will not repeat the same mistake. I promise the world that.

Persist and you are Numero Uno

What a fantastic Sunday morning it was ! Ask any cricket lover, and they would agree. India is the number One test team in the world. Dhoni's devils had a point to prove and boy did they do it in style. I remember reading "The Times of India" on January 1, 2009 in which the sports page read something like this "NEW YEAR RESOLUTION - NUMBER ONE TEAM IN THE WORLD." And lo and behold, December 6, 2009, India is the number One.

Persistence was one quality that was most visible in this magnificent team. It took them a whole 12 months to get to number One from number Three. Controversies, Failures, Criticisms and Responsibilities all breathing down their neck and still this team comes out on top. Persistence, once again. Shows you something, doesn't it ? To win, you have to let go of your temporary failures and not fret too much on them. But yes, take the positives out of them. And am no expert in all this. But that is what I feel I should be doing right now. Persist. And surely, victory should come to me soon.

It hurt the past few months when I could see everyone moving up the ladder and I remain stagnant. But then I happened to read a quote stating "Learn that it is not good to compare."  Of course,the Indian team never compared itself to Australia did it ? India was India. And maybe that helped the team scale the summit. Going through such a phase only helped me. It helped me realise my values, my people and what I want to do. Rest assured, no matter how many failures creep up, its time I go kiss the world. Cheers :)

The Stable phase

Promises never fulfilled. Ya. I promised myself I would blog more often. But it didn't happen. Anyway, I promise..errr...no ...I guarantee that I shall blog regularly.

Back to square one, back to where I was on June 10th. The only thing is am more hopeful this time. Hey but that is only regarding my career. Personally, a lot of changes have been made. All for the good. Made much cooler friends. Few old, many new. All seem to be genuine. Its surprising how you can distinguish fake from genuine the moment you see something genuine.

Today something happened, someone told me something that made me feel real good. This was how the conversation went on --

SOMEONE : You look real scary. Whats with that display pic of yours ??
ME : I thought I look cool. I Don't ??
SOMEONE : NO. You look like a "wanted terrorist" !!
ME : You are not the first person saying that. Anyway, you want me to change it ??
SOMEONE : Ahan. Chill if you are doing it only for me. Not needed
ME: I will change it soon.
SOMEONE : I never knew terrorists look cute :P .

Strange conversation isn't it ??? And you must be wondering if I've gone crazy by posting crazy things. Nope. It really felt nice when she said the last sentence . It seriously did :) .

See you soon again.

Life at Amazon

Monday Morning...The city was in a slumber mood recovering from the shocking death of YSR. But that didn't dampen my excitement. Because, It was my first job and at an MNC like Amazon.com. Felt Nice. Happy.

The first day of training was an awesome experience. Everything was amazing about amazon. But then the all important question - Is this the right place ? The answer was Yes, but for 3 months only. My dream lies seven seas away from here. And to keep it short, its called the United States Of America. Three months to go. Well then why did I join Amazon ? I don't know. Maybe this was bound to happen. Today was my third day and I do not regret joining it.

Eventually I and Rakesh both got placed, but the only disappointing thing is that he will have to work in night shifts and me in the mornings ! How I wish I had him as company. Nevertheless , time to meet new people.

Certain people I miss having beside me at Amazon -- Nikhil, Anil, Ravi, Rohit Venkat. You know what guys ??? I still prefer waiting for the Vignan Vidyalayam Bus than waiting for my cab at 7:15 in the morning. There is not one moment where I don't miss you guys :( . You guys are priceless. And ya.. the cab doesn't stop for fuel in the evenings . [:p] :(

Back and Forever !

Back after a looooooong time....And I promise myself am gonna blog more often...and only about the good and positive stuff....

Enough of the crap regarding this not happening or that not happening in my life...Am Back...And now...better than ever...and I promise...all you will be reading now is about the positive and most happiest moments of my life....Because its just the beginning of a new Life...Wish me luck :) ... and am gonna have a happy blogging !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

My Diamond Studs ( my best pals )

Well actually was wondering what to blog. Anand suggested I blog about the part at Dreams corner in the first hour of that day ! Dude...Others have to experience it, they cant go into a dizzy by reading it..only we know the way we freaked out ! Amazing day na !!!Actually I've decided to let people know who my best pals are..And I want to let my pals know how special they are to me ! So this one is quite a lengthy blog, of surprises and nostalgia. Here, I've decided to blog about eight of my friends...who were with me through the thick and thin of the past 21 years of my life. There is no particular order..It is just random...All of you rank the first for me. So here it is..

Anand : Well its got to start with this bugger...Coz I've known him for the past 7 years ( as a friend ) and 9 years as a person. I still remember those days at St.Patrick's when we both were not that close.. I used to side Kenneth, and Kenneth was always his sarcastic self to Anand.. (Although it took me quite a while to realise that Anand knew much more about anything than Kenneth did ! ) We had a common passion at school - to trouble the hell out of Vivek , and dude you know which Vivek am talking about -- the "channa" vivek [:p] .. A complete womaniser...manages to patafy more girls than I can which often pisses me off[:p]...Ya, his count of girls since inter doubles mine easily...What more, our tastes match...We fought for the same girl as well when we freshly joined the same hell together...Who could forget that incident huh ? Well the only thing that keeps me guessing about us bro is -- "Do we have a good taste" ?? [:p] And that incident has strengthened our bond even more...We went to the same school,same college,fell in love at the same time(with different girls of course),the break-up,and our bikes...all at the same time..Am sure..even if he shifts to Africa and me to Australia, our bond will forever remain like that of in Padmarao Nagar and now. He is my pal for life...I can fake it to anyone except him...coz he knows every move and every act of mine ! The days we spent at PS2 and me thrashing you all over the ring...I can never forget those [:p]...Well folks, about that ring thing...its the other way round...You rock bro....Be there forever...

Rohit(Paaji) : Thanks to Sandeep..Thanks a ton ...Coz if not for you, I wouldn't have met this gem...He is less of a friend and more of a bro to me...Knows everything about me ... right from my first relation to the latest(err..) ... right from my first vehicle to the latest....right from my first cellphone to the latest(yeah baby xpress music :D)...There is nothing to hide from him...No secrets at all...I still can't forget the yahoo messenger antiques five years ago...You, me,anand...and the victim-- one from Philippines, GM's daughter(anand bhai...sorry [:p])....and ..and...Deepika ... Those days were heaven...the only thing to do was wake up at 7:30...meet up by 9 A.M and get back home by 9 P.M ... and then the routine followed for the next three months !! Whew !! It was amazing bhai...We all had dreams then... and paaji,anand...remember my EAMCET rank !!! lol lol lol lol lol...my parents were planning to kill me then...lol....and it was you two...just the both of you who stood by me then...asking me to convince my dad to push me into engineering and here we are today !!! You and anand were with me in all my ups and downs...just continue to stay...well I should not have said that...coz we sticking together is Inevitable ... Luv ya bro !!

Nikhil : Engineering...apart from a degree,the other important thing I gained is this guy Nikhil.The first two years we lived our own lives and had our different ways. But from the third year onwards we developed a great rapport. He has helped me out in every obstacle or difficulty I've faced in my engineering life. Hides nothing from loved ones. Is good to people who value him and not so good to people who think otherwise . Lives from the heart and thinks from the heart too. Goes to any extent to help friends. Never ever seen anyone so dedicated to friendship. Of late he has earned himself the tag - Achiever. Many people wrote him off stating this guy is gonna do nothing. But I hope those people realise that this guy has done what they can never ever do no matter how many chances they take. . Best source to draw inspiration from. Keep rocking bro ! ... And ya there are many better girls out there than 'D'....and the incident we both can never tend to forget is the ... err...umm...B@#$%...Hello Alu !!! [:D]

Vivek : Four years, four wonderful years with this guy..and our relation has always stayed the same. Had loads of fun when you were at my place . He is determined and whenever he decides he wants something..he goes and gets it... I never remember even a single negative thought coming from him...The numerous bunks is one thing I can never forget. It was fun when we seven were together...But its now all the more fun with just the three of us ! Is always there for you whenever you need him. A complete foodie... eats all the crap possible ( just like me [:p] ) and extremely lazy... But you cant expect everyone to be perfect... So be it ! But one thing we still didnt figure out bro is -- How is it possible for Laurel to stay with Hardy and travel 80 miles up and down in a day ??????...Yeah..we enjoy such kinda jokes [:D] !!!!!!!!!!!

Anil : He is a freak.... one of my closest pals and a true sport in every sense...has great attitude and a good sense of humour n there is never a dull moment when u r wid dis guy..... one striking feature which i like in him is his positive attitude in everything he does....ofcourse he is an admirer of beauty but the most shocking revelation he has ever made is he never liked any girls till date which makes me wonder whether he is a gay.....hehehehehe..kidding ...dude u r scrwed....one of the very few persons who never takes things to heart n is always there for u .... keep rocking mama !!!!!!!!!

Rakesh : Straight from the Orkut Testimonials...coz he is the same and nothing has changed..this has got nothing to do with me being lazy jacks...[:p]... He is one guy who believes in himself...try convincing him about something and he gets convinced only if he feels its right...makes his own decisions(good ones) which is the one thing i totally admire in him...he looks good with his somewhat long hair and his cool goggles...not many girls know this but beware...one look of his is really dicing and his girlfriend count must already be near 30-40(lolzz)...we speak almost everything...from useless gossip to worthy issues....always there 4 me and one guy with whom i have always had a constant good relationship....i treat him as my bro n not just an ordinary friend...you rock bro...keep smiling

Revanth : Well looks like he is my senior !!! Never is he different from any of my other friends ! Absolutely fun loving ! Like his bike suggests .. he is a stunner ! A Stud !!! Always expects me to be cheerful ! Whenever am dull, only one sentence from him brightens everything up - This doesn't suit you bey !! Well is "just friends" with a few good looking gals...Can I be "just friends" with them too ?? Am going dry dude !!!! [:(]..We have the best time while smoking the pipe !!! A refreshing company to be with !!!

Ravi : This is just the beginning...Its been an year since I've got close with him...And already he has created a huge impact ! Another Mr.Positive...Well that's how all the above seven people are too !!! Is there during my joy moments..and there even more when the going gets tough ! Has motivated me endlessly during this phase ! Thanks brother ! Hope it keeps going on!!!

Thats it ! My life revolves around these people ! And will always continue to do so !

All by myself

It sometimes so happens that the only person who can bail you out of any problem or a complex situation is you yourself. Well thats exactly what I shall be doing for the next 7-8 days. I have to get out of the mess I am in by myself. Will let you people know if it clicks within the next few days.

A few of you loved my blog 'Singing in the Rain'....Thank you so much for it guys :)

And for all those people who wanted to know who "miss coffee day" was...the slow coach is yet to figure out thats its she herslef....Its humor....Not being rude...So chill ....

Well moving on, My blogs are meaningless at the moment...But I promise to improve on it and from August and am sure I'l have lots of interesting things to tell....Am sure about it :)
