CHECK YOUR NAME MEANING AND YOU WILL FIND THAT THIS IS TRUE Birth Day Party
I thought I was going to post a list of 23 things, but right now that feels about as inviting as blowing out 23 candles. Instead, I shall ramble, which seems more characteristic of a person getting on in years... I'm feeling rather young for a variety of reasons. This is only the third time that I've had a birthday where I turned lucky number 5. My 5th birthday was good because I reckon I celebrated will my family and friends in my home. 14th Birthday was great because it’s second birthday after I entered into teenage. I have even higher hopes for 23. The sun isn't shining as it has been for the past four months due to spring and winter, but these gray skies are supposed to bring rain which I like most in my life. There is lot of difference between my partying in all the three Birthday. But I reckon I enjoyed my 23 birthday will my friends. Went to temple in the evening with my friends Anand and thiru, fortunately I saw all my friends are in temple for Saraswathi pooja. Everyone wished me and I was so happy to see lot of people in that small temple. I Prayed to God for all my goals to give me potency and for my family and friends. One Birthday resolution this year “Take Life as it comes, do your work don’t wait for success”. Then went to my home with all my friends - Natu, Giri, Vatsa, Anand, Pratap, Moks, Nima, Anitha Akka, Deepthi, and Lakshmi. Shocked to see my birthday cake because the candle shows I am 32 lol.. Food is important obsession in all the party, thanks to Anitha Akka and Vatsa because still I smell the Mushroom biriyani, Mushroom curry. Moks prepared a milk paysam which was the highlight of the party. Even I am not living them no one can show such kinda love and care to me in this world. Photograph makes everyone to remember our past life, this session is taken care by a professional photographer (I am true liar) and my best friend Anand. Vasta (The Comedian): Next is the Comedian of our intact faction and person who always makes everyone happy by hurting himself (Vatsa). He is the first person I know in this whole unit before coming to Australia, because of him I got all this intact faction in my life. Because of him some of my friends are in hospital due to stomach ache, he made to laugh everyone continuously 5 hours. Such a Nice guy ever met in my life. Deepthi (My Good friend and Good Sister of mine): My sister and my dear friend Deepthi, Lot of thing which made me to be so close to Deepthi, instance she lefthander, she take cares everyone, her big round eyes, her leans, the way she eats food, her smile, she is gangster but I haven’t see such a nice friend in my life. She gave me a small card and diary which is going to be very useful in my future. Moks (The Mumbai Express): The Best Cook in our whole unit but due to one new comer he lost his position. But no one can beat him in milk payasam. Even he is old (28) , he is so young in his heart . Our home legal adviser with lot of knowledge in business and JAVA Pratap (Wollie the Great) As he working in Woolworth we all call him as Woolie the Great. I have learnt how we have to handle the worst situation in our life. Clam and Nice guy with lot of faith in god … Nima (My partner) He is my partner in one of the main stuff but sorry guess I cant tell u in what we are partners. He knows little bit Tamil but only swear words. Did u ever seen Tom and Jerry , if not come and see directly because Nima and Deepthi fights like Tom and Jerry. Thanks for spending our time with us.
Lakshmi and Udaya (Slient Mode – they won’t talk too much): They are totally different in this whole group because normally they will speak only 5 words a day. But they both are so sweet and clam girls. I reckon they should enjoyed a lot in my Birthday party…. Anitha Akka: (JJ of our Home) I miss my own sister because she is in Bangalore with my Brother-in-law but nowadays i am not missing her that much, because I got a new sister Anitha in my life. She came to number 1 position after beating Moks in cooking with her readymade cooking style. She looks after everyone like a baby. After my mum I respect her care to other. Hats off Akka. I love u So much …. Giri and Natu (I don’t want to separate them even in names): No words to express my self. That much I care about these two guys. Really I am not getting a single word about these two Guys. Nice friends ever I met in my life from my childhood. I really miss them nowadays but still we have a nice contact each other. Anitha will take care about everyone but Natu is taking care Anitha. Vinotha is so Lucky to have Natu as her husband and I don’t know who is that Lucky gal who is going marry Giri… I think she is luckiest person in this whole world…

Throughout our life we meet a lot of people, some we get on with some we don’t. It’s not possible to keep in touch with everybody you have met. But no matter what’s happening in your life, whether you are in the dump or soaring high, there are some people you always keep in touch with, and these are friends. I am blessed with few but great friends who love me and are always there when I need them. Life had been more or less content I never socialized beyond this group and never felt the need to. But lately I don’t know why, I have started thinking about people I had met along in the journey called life, people I had known in school, college, in tournaments and more. The urge to know about them, about where they are, what they must be doing, if they remember me has only been growing.
I decided to do something about it and set out on a mission. Firstly I went through my email address book and renewed contact with people I had not communicated in some time. But these were very few and I could have reached them anytime as I always had their contact details. My quest is to find those who at some point touched my life and then disappeared out of my life. I hope through this blog I will come across somebody who had crossed my path in the past, if I do, it will be worthwhile. Don’t know why, but I feel my past holds the key to my future. With Luv

Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?" Customer: "Sure, you told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click'." 2) Customer: "I received the software update you sent, but I am still getting the same error message." Tech Support:: "Did you install the update?" Customer: "No. Oh, am I supposed to install it to get it to work?" 3).Customer:: "I'm having trouble installing Microsoft Word." Tech Support:: "Tell me what you've done." Customer: "I typed 'A:SETUP'." Tech Support:: "Ma'am, remove the disk and tell me what it says." Customer:: "It says '[PC manufacturer] Restore and Recovery disk'." Tech Support:: "Insert the MS Word setup disk." Customer:: "What?" Tech Support: "Did you buy MS word?"

Tech: You'll need a new power supply. User: No, I don't! I just need to change the startup files. Tech: Sir, the power supply is faulty. You'll need to replace it. User: No way! Someone told me that I just needed to change the startup and it will fix the problem! All I need is for you to tell me the command. 10 minutes later, the User is still adamant that he is right. The tech is frustrated and fed up. Tech: Sorry, Sir. We don't normally tell our customers this, but there is an undocumented DOS command that will fix the problem. User: I knew it! Tech: Just add the line LOAD NOSMOKE.COM at the end of the CONFIG.SYS. Letme know how it goes. 10 minutes later. User: It didn't work. The power supply is still smoking. Tech: Well, what version of DOS are you using? User: MS-DOS 6.22. Tech: That's your problem there. That version of DOS didn't come with NOSMOKE. Contact Microsoft and ask them for a patch that will give you the file. Let me know how it goes. 1 hour later. User: I need a new power supply. Tech: How did you come to that conclusion? User: Well, I rang Microsoft and told him about what you said, and he started asking questions about the make of power supply. Tech: Then what did he say? User: He told me that my power supply isn'tcompatible with NOSMOKE. 17) Customer Care Officer:I need a product identification no: right now and may I help u in finding it out? Cust: sure CCO: could u left click on start and do u find 'My Computer'? Cust: I did left click but how the hell do I find your computer? Enjoy :) With Luv

With Luv Laughable LabsPracticals can be gruelling at times especially because they serve as a true test to your knowledge. If you are really good at it, it's easy. If you really suck at it, it's easier. It's those in the middle category who end up suffering, those who are termed as sincere sigamani's. With their half baked knowledge and foolishly inquistive nature, in their quest to learn more, they end up burning the bread board or taking a deep breath to smell Ammonia and end up with an "Aiyayyo, maanam poachu" look on their face. For guys like me, it's just unlimited fun. Watching people around or doing some mischief yourself helps brighten boring labs. Chemistry labs are the easiest to enjoy. Lab in-charges usuallu give a lecture about the do's and don'ts. Just do the don'ts and the lab is yours. Most common practice is to empty all the chemicals at your place down the drain and fill the bottles up with pure water. Then inform your lab in-charge that you don't get the titration point. Sit back and watch the fun! Silver Nitrate and Iodine solutions are supposed to be extra costly, so take more care to waste them. I assure you saddistic pleasure. Also, if you find anybody in your lab with a super clean, sparkling white lab coat, walk up to him, pour a bottle of Pottasium Dichromate and ask "Surf excel hai na?". Or if a lab coat is extremenly clumsy, sick looking, walk up to him, pour a bottle of the same solution and say, "Ippovaathu thoachu thulai" Either ways, this is lots of fun. In Physics lab, we play around with magnets. People work hard to determine the magnetic field of a bar magnet using that tiny compass given to them. We go near them and casually slip another magnet below their drawing board and they end up messing up the entire thingy :-) Electronics lab is a bit too risky. Easy to mess up the wires and the IC. You may witness firecrackers at times or if you are stupid enough, you may end up having a hairstyle like Einstein. They'll also give you this graph sheet...to plot the points and draw the graph. It's easier to draw the graph and then plot the points. That's the normal practice. Games, matter videos etc are part and parcel of Computer Labs provided you get a suitable location. You can mock at ma'm too, like my friend did. There was this program to reverse a string and this is what he gave... Input : GOD MADAM
Output : MADAM DOG Ma'm struck it off, but we had a great laugh :-) You can also go around and switch off the computers when people don't notice it! My friend does this to me every lab, while I am busy chatting away with others. Damn him! And I discovered this new method to have fun today. Tweaking around with passwords! Go around changing passwords of people and leave a note on their system! There was this friend of mine who had his password as "eternity", which I changed to "mannangatti" and created a file in his computer... "note_to_mannangatti. I hereby inform you that your password has been changed from eternity to mannangatti. However, you will not be aware of this since to access this file you need to logon. Cheers :-)" Such kutti kutti funs make lab interesting. Viva is funny too, but that'll be big enough for a seperate blog by itself. I'll blog about it sometime later. So, as of now, there were a few examples of how to make your lab intersting. All the best. Cheers :-) With Luv
Hari 10/1/2005 Gone are daysWhen The school reopened in June, And we settled in our new desks and benches. When we queued up in book depot, And got our new books and notes. When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet managed to line up daily for the morning prayers. We learnt writing with slates and pencils, and Progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips. We began drawing with crayons and evolved to Colour pencils and finally sketch pens. We started calculating first with tables and then with Clarke's tables and advanced to calculators and computers. When we chased one another in the corridors in Intervals, and returned to the classrooms Drenched in sweat. When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors, Playgrounds, under the trees and even in cycle sheds. When all the colors in the world, Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays. When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table, Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons. When cricket was played with writing pads as bats, And Neckties and socks rolled into balls. When few played "Basket Ball" and "Volley ball" in scorching sun, While others simply played "book cricket" in the Confines of classroom. Of fights but no conspiracies, Of Competitions but seldom jealousy. When we used to watch Live Cricket telecast, In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks. When few rushed at 3:45 to "Conquer" window seats in our School bus. While few others had "Big Fun", "peppermint", " kulfi", " milk ice !" and "sharbat !" at 4o Clock. Gone are the days Of Sports Day, and the annual School Day , And the one-month long preparations for them. Gone are the days Of the stressful Quarterly, Half Yearly and Annual Exams, And the most enjoyed holidays after them. Of tenth and twelfth standards, when we Spent almost the whole year writing revision tests. We learnt, we enjoyed, we played, we won, we lost, We laughed, we cried, we fought, we thought. With so much fun in them, so many friends, So much experience , all this and more. Gone are the days when we used to talk for hours with our friends. Now we don't have time to say a HI. Gone are the days when we played games on the road. Now we code on the road with laptop. Gone are the days when we saw stars shining at night. Now we see stars when our code doesn't work. Gone are the days when we sat to chat with friends on grounds. Now we chat in chat rooms..... Gone are the days where we studied just to pass. Now we study to save our job Gone are the days where we had no money in our pockets and fun filled on our hearts Now we have the atm as well as credit card but with an empty heart Gone are the days where we shouted on the road. Now we dont shout even at home Gone are the days where we got lectures from all. Now we give lectures to all... like the one I'm doing now.... Gone are the days But not the memories, which will be Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and Ever and ever and Ever ..... NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE , DONT FORGET TO LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL

9/25/2005 My Thoughts!Mother's lap...
Father's shoulders... Sister's happiness... Lover's pain... Motherland... Beach sand... Encouragement spree... Rice with ghee... Friends Life...
Practicality of Philosophy... Performance anxiety... Luck's traversity... Masters in university... Lack of sleep... Alarm beep... Darkness of night... Success in sight... Meandering thoughts... Why the three dots... Star wars Glittering stars Cricket My life so far Childhood memories Unrepresentable ache in my heart A soft touch Heavy mind Silent tear Slight fear Arise, I did, from my bed, to just pen down the thoughts I experience before I sleep...What do u think just before u sleep? Just curious to know if our thoughts at this time truly reflect who we are...cos this is one time of the day we dont have to tailor our thoughts to the need of the situation...and nobody to impress or time to catch up.

Hari Whats love?
When your mother provides you with care and affection, is that love? When you cant stop thinking about a girl, is that love?
When you will do anything for a girl, is that love?
When you think you want that girl, is that love?
When you believe "THE ONE" is that girl, is that love? When a girl says she no longer loves you, is that still love? When a girl says she loves another guy, is that still love? When a girl says she never loved you, is that still love? When a girl says no relationship can ever exist, is that still love? When you think there is no one for you, there is still love When you think you have been ditched unceremoniously, there is still love When you think you have been fooled all the while, there is still love When you think you cant bear the pain, there is still love Love is what you think you never had Love is what you have always got Love is what you believe to be "by default" Love is what you have ignored so far!

The Flim which made even the Australian Students to Cry and Think about Bollywood flims. All credit should go to the team which came out with such a beautiful story line. I wondered how I missed to see a beautiful story for a long time. Hmmmm too bad on me.. This is not a review but i am going to present what is all about. Lets switch to STORY LINE.
STORY LINE:
I know now that there is a God...
He is not the holy spirit we pray too...
He isn't written about in religious texts...
He is someone who is part of our lives...
Whom we live for... Because of whom we live...
MichelleMcnally ( Rani Mukherjee) is "Special" in more ways than one. She CANNOT SEE... NOR HEAR NOR SPEAK.. She inhabits a world of infinite black... of a seamless, endless void where nothing reaches her and she reaches nothing. Her world is frightening in its complete remoteness. On the sheer will of her ferocious rage against destiny. Michelle Stuggles to stay afloat in the impenetrable whirpool her life has become.
Into this devastating isolation enters a battele weary teacher Debraj Sahai (BIG B), Life wounded but arrogantly insolent warrior with a single minded obsession. Debraj takes up a challenge that is next to impossiable-to lead this wild, uncontrollable child in to the light of knoweldge.
Thus begins a journey of two headstrong individulas. They will overcome faliures, obstacles, even ridicule as they tread the path less taken. What they seel is that moments of miracle when the ray of knowledge will penetrate through the dense black of Michelle's Life. "Black" is the cathartic tale of a deaf, mute and bling girl who saw what people with sight fail to see, a vision of her God. Michelle Saw her GOd, heard Him and Walked him in to light.......
Big B (Amitabh Bachchan)
Single-minded. obsessive, passionnate... the teacher who is determinded to beat all odds, to complete mission impossiable. Such is the aura of the Bachchna na,e, that flims are sepcially written for him. No other actor can do this role as if he done.. Great Show By Big B....
Rani Mukherjee
Michelle , Bright and curious , spirited and apunky, deaf and blind. A raging wild cat tamed into enlightened and sweet human bring.. A fighter all the way.. She has immense faith in herself and in her GOD (Teacher). This challenging role that any actor worth her salt would diw for. Rani did it again ...

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of CANCER . From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"? To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over -- 5 crore children start playing tennis, 50 lakh learn to play tennis, 5 lakh learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbeldon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD "Why me?". And today in pain I should not be asking GOD "Why me?" Remember : Happiness keeps u Sweet, Trials keep u Strong, Sorrow keeps u Human, Failure Keeps u Humble, Success keeps u Glowing, But only God Keeps u Going..... With Luv

URS HARI ;) 9/11/2005 Spend some time to Read this!It's a bit too long. but pls have some time to read it. really kool stuff which I encountered.Ours was an arranged marriage. It was done the traditional way. Our parents took care of everything. My only condition was that she should be ready to work. Our horoscopes and photos were exchanged. Everything matched. I spoke to her over the phone. We talked about things two strangers would talk. She was a lecturer in Bangalore who felt Chemistry was more important than Hindi movies. There was no engagement. The date for marriage was fixed in 2 weeks as I could not get a vacation after that. Even the vacation time I got was just 10 days. Everything was fixed. It was supposed to be very hectic for me. We got married and 2 days later we had to leave the country. She cried like there was no tomorrow when we left. She would not talk to me on the plane. I thought that was usual for an Indian girl. I thought she would get over it. Once home she would not talk to me. She sat in a corner staring at the TV. For the first couple of days I had to catch up on some work and did not take her mood seriously. A week later I sat beside her and asked her, "What is wrong?" "Why did you bring me here?" "What do you mean? What happened?" "I want to go home" "This is your home" "No. I want to go home. Please buy me a ticket" "Look, everybody feels homesick. I did when I came here the first time. It is normal. You will get over it. Sorry I have been busy with work. We can go out this weekend. You will meet my friends and other people who will be very friendly. Come on be a good girl" "I hate this place. I miss my family, my friends, my college. All the people I know are not here. I want to go home" "Think for a minute. Try to reason it out yourself. What is your plan by the way? So you want to go back and never come back?" "Yes" "Are you crazy?" "If you think this is crazy then I am." "It is ok if you do not answer this question. Is there someone else?" "No. I want to go home. I will call 911 if you do not send me" "First cool down. Think about it. Think about our parents. It is less than a month that we got married and now you want to return home. You very well knew that you had to come here. What were you thinking? Even if you are returning home what happens to our marriage?" "I am not blaming you. I take the blame. It is my mistake. I can't stay so far away from my family. If you are so interested come to India" "I am family too! What you are asking is ridiculous." The next day she would not change her mind. I called my folks. They said that it was my decision and they would stand by me. I booked her ticket and put it in her hand the next evening. She was to leave in 2 days. Nothing would convince her to change her mind. She was crying like a kid. Then she left. She had done nothing for me to miss but something inside me was telling me that I was at fault. I tried to shake it off but as time grew I started feeling more guilty. I called her. She made it clear that she did not find me despicable but she would not leave her city. Her parents apologized profusely but they were helpless too. I have had crushes. None of them were serious. There was this girl in my high school tuition whose phone no I managed to find out. Then the prettiest girl in college whom everybody loved, who talked to me once. Then the girl from my city who was at my university in USA who made me feel at home when I visited her place. I had ignored them once I crossed their paths. But Anjali was my wife. I could not ignore her. I decided to quit my job. I went home. No one back home knew I was returning. I wanted to surprise her. I dropped off my bags at my place and went to the college she was teaching. The gate keeper would not let me in. So I had to wait outside for the classes to get over. She walked out alone, struggling to carry her bag, tired, with slow steps. She was walking towards the bus stop. I silently followed her and went behind her and whispered, "Do you mind if I carry your bag?" She was startled and turned to face me. Her eyes lit up. I was not sure if I could hug her. I was smiling and she had a 100 questions written all over her face. "I want to spend a week with you in this city. Show me the things that you could not miss" That one week went in a jiffy. She was treated a kid at home with all the comforts. That explained her behavior. Coffee was brought to her in the morning. Even her dress was laid out for her. She would have breakfast and leave. The bus journey was an hour. She would sit near the window with a book. Then once in the college she would teach her classes and come out tired in the evening. She would stand in the crowded bus carrying her bag which would look heavy. Then she would alight, go home, have a snack and would head out to a friend's place. Some times she'd stay home watching TV or listening to music. When her dad returned she would join him and they'd have dinner. Then her mom would tuck her in bed. Weekends were not much different. She would sleep late, wake up for breakfast and lie down talking on the phone. Then she would visit the temple in the evening and would have her singing lessons. Then she would eat out and would head home late. That was her life. It was something every human being wanted - simple, content and happy. Of course to her I was a villain. I told her that I understood her. I wanted to know if it was ok if she stayed in the same city but away from her parents. Her only condition was that I should not stay at my parent's place to which I agreed. So we moved into a small apartment. She knew nothing. She had to be taught everything. She learnt. It was hard to make her understand that she had duties and she had a husband. Coffee had to be brought to her in the morning. She made the rules and broke them. She did not care for me. Sometimes she would not return home but go to her parents' place without informing me. I would have had to go bring her back. Slowly she started realizing about married life. She would wake up before me, try to cook, agree for a movie, visit my friend's place, invite me to her college, let me dress her up, dance in front of me, teach me Chemistry, talk about her crushes, play cricket with me, make me cry for a change. She was growing mature day by day. One day she apologized for the whole thing. I brushed it aside. Finally I had her the way I wanted. Today I am happy and content with my life. She is still there crying to get her things done. I keep reminding her how she had threatened to call the police. She laughs it away. Some times I wonder how life would have been if I had not returned. Then again some things are left as they are. Dedicated to the guys who r entering the blissful stage of life.. That's how life is .. Cheers..!! |
