Why So Serious ?? - Murli's B'day blast !! :)

With bomb-blasts happening all around India and the country on high-alert , on the lighter side , there was a blast of a different kind yesterday !! Yup, it was my college bus-mate and close friend Murali's B'day blast !! Well , we 7 guys in our College bus - are pretty close and we make it a point to celebrate every birthday as enjoyably as possible !! But all these days , we were in college and so the birthdays were celebrated in the bus itself , simply by cutting a cake and then with song and dance ! :) This time it was different ! we are passed-outs now and so planned on something different ! So why not a surprise ??! :)

Since it was our first-ever surprise , we kept things plain and simple ! The usual - "Dont wish the guy - Make no plans - Upset the guy - But finally land up in his home" thing !!! :p And it worked out pretty well !! :) We , and also his school friends , were all in his house at 5.30 with a cake , on which was written - "Murali loves Puppy-ma" .. he he.. the nick-name of the gal , we tease him with ! He was really surprised - and even more surprised when he saw the cake ! :) And what not ? We even showed that to his Mom - who dint know what to say after seeing that ! he he.. Don know what happened after we left his home !! He he.. Sorry da ! We almost made your b'day a tragedy for u :p

And for the first time in our bus b'days history - we did continuous video coverage with my deranged 2 MP Nokia mobi cam :)

Coming now to the title of this post - "Why So serious" .. he he.. I cant explain - but you can find it out from the video below !! :p

PS : Look out for my dialogue "Mothala Amma - Puppy laan Summa" Hehehe :p Also the first revelation of my Half-grown hair look (after i shaved off my hair 2 months back:)




Next we took him to a textile shop nearby to buy him our gift - A shirt ! Take a look at what happened there ! :) Beware ! Murli is a body builder !! :p




Finally , we made a pit-stop at Sullan's house to Refill our fuel tanks with some "Pakkoda" and Orange juice , and finally left to our homes - after an enriching day and with the satisfaction of making a loved-one of us ecstatic and happy on HIS OWN day !! :)

Momma Dont Preach - Part 3

Hmmm , So after her Miraculous 2nd operation , Doctors had no other go but to remove her Uterus - which meant i wont have any siblings :( After all these , she again started goin for her job !! Well , the trouble started here ! A maid was put to look after me !! But this girl was A "Bi**ch" !! Think she was some kinda sadist !! I was just 5 or 6 then and this woman torchered me like anything ! I was not fed properly and not taken care of , plus got regular beatings in her hands ! I was sooo scared of her that i never told my mom or dad about it ! One fine day , My neighbour noticed what i was going through and complained to my mom !! Mom and dad fired her immediately ! Then they had a huge decision to take ! There were only 2 options - Either keep another maid in charge or my mom had to Resign her job ! Her salary was a plump one - afterall it was Central Govt ! Very few are lucky enough to get one !! But then she decided to choose the hard way !!

Many of her friends and family were against this decision - many asked her to leave me in a Boarding school ! But since i was to be her only child - she decided not to listen to others and so she Quit her job !! I should say - I had one of the best childhoods ever possible - although devoid of siblings !! Mom used to tell me stories each and everyday and till my 10th grade sat with me when i studied and taught me all that she could ! Although i grew up as some kind of a Nerdy Imbecile - i was proud of it !! :) I always stood First in my class and Topper at all levels !! I never needed a tutition or an extra coaching class ever in my life - thanks to her !!

Plus she always insisted that I was never-ever Idle - without doin something useful ! And this resulted in me goin for one class after another during my summer holidays !! I was able to finsh all my 8 exams in hindi due to her !! I started learning computers right from 5th grade !! Besides studies i also excelled in Scouting ! She also made me to excersie as i was a over-weight in those days !! But in the mean time - her health deteriorated as she started suffering from Hernia - thaks to "demons" from her previous two opearations ! So she had to go through 2 more Hernia opearations - one during my 5th grade and another during my 9th grade !! These made her terminally ill ! She cant sit on the ground even today !! :(


End of Part 3


Part 4 - The Finale !! Situation now - Distance between me n mom - Finding solutions !

Many more Happy returns of the day da B**du !! :)

Surprise Surprise !!! This ones a special surprise testimonial for my friend Suresh Balaji Alias B**du Balaji whos celebrating his Birthday today !! :) Actually i had planned him a bigger surprise for today but it did nt work out since he had to go for work today !! :( Anyway , here it goes !! B**ds is one of my most close and best-est friends in my life !! Although we became classmates in the second sem only , we knew each other from 1st sem itself as we used to come across each other in our bus few days ! I never knew his love he had for me , untill the third semester , when something terrible happened to me and he was one of the very few human beings who stood by my side and fought for me !! Thanks for that da !! After that , my repect and likingness for him grew very much !! Yet another incident was in a bus journey one day when i told him sadly , Unlike the other guys in our class , I dont have any one single person to tell as my BEST Friend !! For that he replied - Am also in the same position only da !! Don worry,  i ll always be there for you !!! I wont forget that forever !! :) Like these , there are so many incidences !! I always thought that he was such a coward and Good for nothing fellow !! he he .. but he proved me wrong when he bravely fought the presidential elections in our dept(when everyone of us backed down)  - just to show his support for his friends !! I love you da mama !!!Always keep in touch !!! Happyyy Birthday !! :) May God blessss you !!! And don forget to specialah gavanichify me at your treat !! :p


PS : Sorry for the pic ! he he.. Its my favt pic of his !! But he does nt like it at all !! he he :)

Momma Dont Preach !! - Part 2

Well , Im surely one heck of a procrastinator !! This is one proof for it !! Seems i ve posted "Momma Dont Preach - Part 1" on December 7 , 2007 !! LOL.. Its almost one year over and am back to finish this unfinished business !! Who knows , what am gonna write here now may be very much different if i have written the same thing in December !

Ok Now coming to it , My mom played,plays and will play a significant role in my life !!These are excerpts from her life and her relationship with me ! Read at your own risk :) Because it may get borin for u soon , but i ll try to make it as interesting and succint as possible ! So lemme start !! Mom was born in a lower middle class family with about 5 siblings .Her father - my granddad was a honest government officer- and so , you can imagine the situation she grew up in ! Sure it was nt a fairy-tale childhood for her ! She was a brilliant student - always stood first in her class- and a gold medalist in her college ! First she worked as a teacher in a lindergarten school and then got a good central govt job with a high salary after few yrs ! But then , family pressures made her to marry very late at the age of 30 !!

After marriage , seems there were lotsa problems at her in-laws place(My dad's place) because of her job !! So dad and mom moved over to a seperate home (in which we are still) !! And when i was born , she faced her first of FOUR Operations ! This one was Caesarian and in few months she was back to work ! I was at home with a maid to look after !

And then came the Miracle !! It was 7 months into my Mom's second pregnancy ! One day at her office , she suddenly got an excruciating pain and she passed off and was immediately rushed to the hospital ! There her blood pressure and pulse went down drastically and doctors told my dad and relatives that she has a very little chance of gettin through it ! My dad was asked to sign a form telling that the hospital had no role to play if she dies during the operation ! So then it was her second Operation and yup - it was a baby boy - who saw dakness even before daylight could flash on him ! The baby was dead and after the opeartion got over doctors felt it would be the same story with my mom !

Final hours.. Moms BP and pulse never seemed to improve ! Doctors gave a 24 hour deadline.. And then it happened.. From no where , at the deep end of the 24 hour deadline , her BP and pulse seemed to slowly rise up and in few minutes it was up and running !! :) Everyone who witnessed it said it was God's miracle !! Even today , when my mom goes back to that hospital , they call her the Miracle Lady !! :)

So am startin to feel sleepy now.. will end it here ! this is only the begining ! Got lots more to come ! Catch you in the next Part !! :)


-End of Part 2 !



Part 3 - Mom resigns her job - Me growing up under her - She faces 2 more operations

Coming Soon !! :)

Sorry My Dear !! :(

Lol.. Before u think anything stupid , the "dear" refers only to this blog of mine and not to "anyone" else !! :) And sorry bcos , I din even care to come by its side for bout a month !!! All this while i was busy @ my new blog(he he, i like to call it a "site") www.ampdforinnovation.com !! This is the domain that i bought for a sum of $50 , the money i earned from my previous commercial blog that Google screwed up by givin it a permanent PR of 0 !! :( Ever since i bought this site , I ve become this money-monger and Have turned into this green eyed monster livin only on money !!! I spend Allll my time on tat site , promotin its traffic , writin sponsored posts and pressin F5 time in and again at the PPP oppurtunity page !! In the meanwhile , totally forgettin bout this dear site of mine ! My first ever-straight from the heart site !! :(

Anyway a good news ! I ve changed my broadband plans to the UNLIMITED Internet scheme , givin 24 hrs free internet :) So wil TRY with all my will to put in posts here atleast from now on !! :)Hope it happens !! :)

Counting the Dayzz ! :(

Well, for the last few days i ve been bombarded by a single question from many of my friends , "How are U feeling , as we start to count the days to the end of our college life??" And well the normal answer from anyone would be "Oh yeah.. Am goin to missssssss college life like anythin man!!! " And thats the same answer i ve been givin them but only with my fingers crossed.. As i sit down & ponder whether am really gonna miss it all ?? Well , My conscience Gives me a Big "NO" !! No ! I don think i wil miss college life as a whole!

Well , You may think whether this guy is that much stone-hearted and may ask WHY ?!! Before answerin it , i ll make few points clear ! Its just that i wont miss college life as a "Whole" !! I will miss it in "parts" though !! N by parts , i especially mean Individuals - Ppl who ve made this past 4 yrs wonderful for me !! Cant name them all , But guys n gals , I ll miss U alll lik anythin !!! :( And also My Bus n my bus mates ! I ll miss it more than anythin ! Those 2 hrs of up n down journey were the most happiest moments in these 4 yrs !

Next comin to the pt , Well when i stepped into college , i was expectin a fun filled Colleging experience as i had heard from my seniors , that SSN is the best place to be doin ur engineering if U want to enjoiii ur college life to the max , the place where COMPLETE freedom is given to u to do whatever u need ! And yeah it was exactly like what they said ! It was an absolute heaven when compared to what i heard from ppl from other colleges esp the Jeppiar institutions !

But all that i expected , remained as just Expectations & never ever happened until this very day !! N those expectations were nothing huge or something ! They were as simple as - Koool classmates , both guys n gals - united in freindship , havin whole lotsa fun together - Goin out now n then as an entire class to treats and movies - good interaction and rapport between each n evryone in the class, etc !! But none of these turned out into reality and remained just as expectations !!!

I ve heard from other colleges , where ppl not only enjoy as a class but as an entire dept ! But right from early days , we were never meant to be united as a dept with bitterness increasin among both sections of the dept due to few incidents ! But then , leave alone the dept ! Atleast we could ve spared well as a Class , but we failed to even do that ! Am ashamed to tel that there are still guys n gals in our class who have nt even seen each other face to face ! Only then the topic of speakin , interactin, and making friendship arises !!

Ok then ! Leave alone the interaction between guys n gals !! Was there atleast good rapport among the guys atleast ???!! Well , again the answer to it is a BIG NO !! Split up into groups,gangs,cliques n wat not , the only things we did as a whole class was to play cricket n go have lunch in kelambakkam ( only if theres a treat :) !! N i dont want to comment bout the gals ! I leave it to themselves to contemplate whether they ve done justice to their college lives by trying to look beyond their own "Gangs" ?!!

So guys ?! What can i take as memories from my college life ??! Those "Split - up" tours (which normally must be the most memorable part of our college life) ??? All those verbal spats and back stabbings??? Or those personal enemities still ragin within many !??! Im afraid not !!
SO the only things i can take from here as good-old memories into my next phase of life can be those Personal moments i ve shared with the most of U ! Those chats.. Those Kalaaichfying sessions.. Those vetti conferences.. They ll remain wit me forever n ever !

Well, May be the prob is not with any of U or our class !! May be the prob is with me alone !! Mostly bcos am the only- child i never was attached to anyone nor am i much emotional .. I even did nt feel much when i left school ! May be even bcos of this own personal nature of mine , I feel so Numb as i leave this place !!! But somewhere in my mind, somethin rings an alarm tellin me , This time around, the problem is NOT with me alone !!!!

Fabulous Final(e) Sem !! :-)

Well, two months back , when i started this blog of mine , i felt that this final sem would be pretty un-eventful with a whole loooot of Idle time to sit and laze and take rest before steppin into Work , where once u are in , theres No way Out ! And hence , thought i could concentrate on my blog !!

But then , it turned out to be entirely different from what i had in mind , to the extent that i cant find even few mins of time in a week to put up even a single post !! Well, i can definitely say that this sem has been the most busiest and tedious of the lot and also has turned out to be "Fabulous" too :) I have always , right from my childhood hated to be idle ! May be thats bcos of my moms influence ! She never allowed me to be so ! She made me involve in somethin or the other especially during the 2 month long summer holidays.. Anyway more bout that in "Momma Dont Preach"

So, this final sem , again with some Mom's good old advice, had to figure out a schedule to be Anti-Idle :) N first to my thoughts came the idea of Rejoinin my gym , that i had left goin to during the 3rd sem ! My gym has played an important role in my life ! At the end of my 12th exams, i had grown into this Ugly Shrekky kinda guy weighin over 110 kilos.. I was down on my confidence of even steppin into college, when i joined my gym n within a span of 3 months reduced bout 20 kilos and reached a somewat Normal shape.. So once i stopped, durin the 2nd n 3rd yrs i had started to put on weight yet again N i had to do somethin bout it ! So immediately after the begginin of this sem , i ran in n joined there n makin good progress now ! So two hours of "prime time" is daily spent there.

Next, it was time for my long lasting passion ! I had always wanted to learn some music instrument or another , but then the area i live in is much pre occupied wit other commercial stuff that i had no place to learn durin school days.. So i thought this was my last chance, though few of my friends sarcastically gestured that it was tooooo late, i went n joined a good music school at Egmore for guitar classes, which along wit the keyboard has always fascinated me ! So why the guitar first ?! Well i really don know :) But now i feel i cud ve took to keyboard itself since my batch mate is a guy , on the other hand there is a good lookin gal in the keyboard batch at my time :) N thus the entire Saturady mornins every week is spent !

Other than these 2, i ve also started spendin quality time promoting My commercial blog through which in few weeks we ve got a sum of 60$ in our pockets , n now work is in progress to expand the business :)

Last but not least, the biggest burden of em all ! The Project !! Man, for the first time , i ve taken some kinda good decision , n thats to do my final yr proj on my Own , especially after seein the plight of ppl being duped by those F**kin damn Centers ! Wit help from my team mates , we ve successfully gone til the 1st review n ya, really for the first time in my life i can say that i ve somewat worked "hard", spendin whole lotsa time for this !

My only regret has been that i cud nt spend more time for my personal blog ! But since all other things are goin as planned , it does nt strike me that often & hence this post is jus an Excuse from myself for not posting !! :) Anyway i only hope this Final sem that has been fabulous until now , turns out the same til the end , cos whenever i feel that somethin is goin on pretty well, it jus does nt end up the same way ! :) So whenever i try to scrape in some time, i ll definitely continue my posts !! Til then Good bye !! :)
