24 years and a week…

Yeah its been 24 years… Waav… I luv it so much, my life. I still remember when i would bed wet and try to convince ma mom, that its ma sister and how foolish i would have been to do that with the clear left overs in ma night pants. (it was during ma childhood, so im damn sure its just bed wet).
Now, i have the desire to explore, passion to write, patriotism towards world, luv for cute gals, longing for a better career, lots and lots and lots…

Certainly i have grown up :P Ma mom would not agree to it though, not because im her son, but she definitely had some doubts on my mental soundness when i proposed an idea of recreating the day during night by fixing a mirror behind the earth :P

I have come across lot of things, but when i think about it, i realize, nothing i have done all these years :) Still in the remembrance of these dead 24 years, i would like to pen down something…

Top 10s of my 24 years :P

1.
One luv: She was awesome, she was wonderful (to me). she was natural, she was honest, above all, she was beautiful :P . Anyway, She is no more single… she is happily married and i think she is with kids :P

2.
Two deaths: disturbed me a lot.
My very own grand mom. She is like a prime enemy to ma mom, but still she has always been sweet, sweeter, sweetest to me. For her im the whole world. She lived that long till her 80s just for me !!!(I still believe that :P )

My cousin brother. He was like my own brother, since he stayed with us most of the time. He might not be an entrepreneur, but he would have become one. I waited in mortuary to receive his body for an hour and it was one of the horrible moments of ma life. Death teaches man a lot.

3.
three misses:
* One of my close friends tried to ask me out, but i was so dumb, i didnt get it. Things would have been different now. We laugh at it even now when we talk (but definitely i missed !!!)
* I felt very bad when i got transferred to Chennai from Bangalore. I missed all my friends there and definitely we fell apart after that transfer. I should not have gone back to chennai…
* Terrible third miss – everything would have changed in ma life, everything would have been so different. I was so interested in catering, and got pushed into engineering by my mom and dad. I miss ma completely sponsored studies including 3rd year in Swizz !!!

4.
four weddings:
* Two are my cousins weddings, from which i realized, weddings are the only occasions where we could enjoy with our relatives, who otherwise might be torturous.
* Two are my friends weddings, jeyanthi akka’s wedding, pavithra’s wedding… They were awesome… also wanted to include thaneer’s akka wedding, but four weddings is kinda attractive :P

5.
Five friends of life:
* Kumar, sudar,sano,kudi and parul didi….
* I never thought, i would be so much valued by others or i would value someone above myself, these are the guys… My friends of life…
* We might not talk to each other in future, as often as we do now. We might lose others phone numbers, we might have forgotten their spouses names, but still… we are the best. These are my best buddies…

I wrote 10 points initially, but the rest 5 points were like,
six other sickos – ma awesome friends from college
seven sins, ma personal, terrible mistakes
eight cries – moments when i cried out loud…
nine nightmares – when i was like awww
ten things i would like to do :)

At this moment, i just wana thank ma mom for introducing me to this awesome world, with awesome bunch of people :) I luv u mom (also u dad :P ) and i luv u all :)

How we fixate on tragedy in a happy day !!!

Its our nature not to notice really awesome, beautiful things passing us and thinking abt some stupid thing that happened hours back, even in some cases, it would be days back. This is just a post to point that particular point and some usual bla…bla…

So, look how i am ignoring things that are happening to me in one day :)

Here it started… Some gal called Sushma Banerjee, (distant relative of Mamtha Banerjee), at UIC , MIS was born some 2X years ago in WB, IND. Guys were trying to impress her inspite of the fact that she is married and decided to throw a surprise party for her birthday. In order to cultivate good ties between the departments of Computer Science and MIS, i decided to attend the party. Guys promised me to give intro of some awesome gals in the party. And it has nothing to do with me going to party. As i said before, i went only for Ties b/w the departments. Banerjee lives in some awesome house, Duplex guys :P Appreciated her house keeping efforts and ice creams and I waited for the remaining gals to arrive. Then came the shock, No Gals coming to the party.. WTF…. I was …. cha… There started my bad day at banerjee’s bday…. :)

Ma roomie’s / friend’s bday on next day, i mean same night. His friend /GF brought a cake, that saved us around $12 :P People gathered and it was nice party. chocolate cake, coke, birthday bums, waaav… remembered those awesome days.. But suddenly realized, i was deeply disappointed by the gals…. Oopsi, not even a single gal turned up for the party, ofcourse sankari was there, but i have met her already… I expected some new …oh no…

Then called akka and had a nice chat. She is doing well and i felt so so happy about it. Soon ma niece is gona rock the world… Suddenly i noticed some assignments were there on the algorithms website and i was blank :) Banerjee!!!you you you…. I tried to do the assignment, but u know, nothing good happens after 2 AM… (source : How i met your mother) So i hit the sack…

Morning i had a sweet sweet dream (secret) and woke up with full of energy and happiness. Oops again this assignment thought… crap man. I went to do it, but its time to class and missed bus and reached class… aaaahhhh. Everyone except me did the assignment. I was not enjoying the class at all. My SP (Algos professor) is talking (taking class) and im not seeing at her with a sense of content and bliss, which i would do usually…

Later i spoke with her, bla bla, left at work place, bla bla… she was looking at me
SP : what ? I was just looking at you, i was not listening to you…
Me : It happens to me often :)
SP : What ?
Me : bla – bla – left papers at office, bla bla….

Finally i told her i see her :P I was so happy that she excused me, but filled with worries abt office, have to fix Alicia’s system, set up bills printer, update the website, work on migration to .NET, design a DB using MySql, bla bla bla…

In the mean time i got a call from sriram about his GA. He got a job man. I was like so so so happy at the very moment. But again i started to think about the ppl who stabbed us. am i mad ???
come on sriram got a job and he is relaxed now. so am i :)

When i looked into my screen, i fixed a bug in software, all systems are connecting to the server now (that were not connected for past 2 years), all printers are working, my DB design is ready.

alicia : Jefrri, im connecting to server, all bugs are fixed, thanks to raja…. hurrayyy
Jeffri : Raja. yaeeee. you make people happy :)
me : Thanks :)

Oops, i have to catch the bus, do the laundry. prepare food for night, do the assignment, write the blog….

shebba…. we never enjoy the day :)

Infact i enjoyed it like anything. I was just imagining me being so mean and stupid :P
Its a wonderful day

Its a wonderful life !!!

ps : names changed from originals… i use o follow this naing convention. But i was not using it for this post. Later upon the advice of ma friend, i changed them…

Avani Avittam at America !!!

Its been a long time since i posted in the blog i guess. I wrote something from the airport of Abu Dhabi though :P This blog post is about my experience in America for a month.

* Its like a tradition to blog about the experience in foreign land, just to showcase that we are in some beautiful, litter free, nature bounded, foreign land :P My precursors did that (babbu, preethika), so i am also doing the same :P

* The taxi fares are damn high. Fast Tracks at Chennai were damn cheaper. I use to get tensed seeing the meter ticking in rupees, but here in dollars, i was like , oh mommy… im gona throw u in a deep debt :P

* Food was okish at seniors place where i stayed for first few days, rather two weeks :P Seniors reached peak of their cooking expertise in the second week and i daily had some descent desi food :)

* Hotels start with a dish of $5 and its like multiplying with 50… ooooo…I was not happy about my decision (still confused) to land at US and do masters and stuff. Because for the first two weeks, i was like completely down in confidence due to non availability of jobs on campus. Here we have to go to each and every department and ask for job (Assistantship). I was so humiliated to do so. All Indian students would print some 30 resumes per day and take it in a bag and give them at all offices. Som offices would have sign boards, (Dont Disturb, We call Police) :P

* Referrals play a significant role here. So the SSN college guys were having an edge over everyone else (that comes around 4-5 ppl). Its an SSN branch at Chicago to be fair. Finally i cleared an interview with credits only to me, i was sitting in front of an interview panel. After few hours, im declared as the new Research Assistant of the department. I was like ufffffffff. Relaxed relaxed relaxed…

* After these Assistantship waves, Avani Avittam came. I was like totally blank about the procedures and Shankar brother(annan, mani, annan!) came to ma rescue. He helped me in carrying out the rituals and wicked ram prepared some awesome vada and payasam.

* After getting offer letter from department regarding fee waiver and stipend, i was relaxed and started to worry about the courses, which was my primary concern while applying :P algos prof is damn hot and im really having no idea what was going on for the last three classes. She is fuming hot :D

* Further updates abt ma Americas stay will be in future posts. Already guys are planning to go to Florida in December :P so, Bhuvana, meet u in Florida soon :P

My First Times….

Everything in life is our first time at some point of time. For example, our first class in school, first outing with friends, first kiss, first …. we encounter the first time at some time. I encountered lots of first times in a very short span, say within a week. These are my first times in a week…

1. First time in the last 4 years, i didnt check ma mail for 3 whole days…

2. First time , i saw two gals hitch hiking a lorry in some glittering dress and heavy make -up. If you want some direct words, i can use , road side hookers :)

3. First time, i felt as a complete man, when a gal told, she will suggest ma name to her parents when they are looking forward for her marriage.

4. First time i felt deeply incapable, when ma cousin sister asked for some food to suppress her hunger in a bus journey and i had nothing to offer…

5. First time i felt so much vacuum in terms of emotion, when i failed to feel even a single thing, for ma cousin brother’s death.

**update**: finally i missed ma cousin, when i was traveling with my other cousin. we were 4, now, just 3…oopsi…

6. First time i waited in a mortuary entrance with some enchanting smell of yesterday’s humans for more than 30 minutes, to receive a corpse.

7. First time, i was completely awake and didnt talk, sing or text for two full hours. I was filled with silent for such a long duration in the so far life time…

8. First time, i felt, ma mom is very stupid and mean and so many more things, for cursing God for her nephews death… ( Never blame a non-existing entity for anything)

9. First time, after so many years, I felt, ma dad is some what good :P

10. First time, i felt like, im not writing some stupid post, but also felt others might not feel the same way :)

ps : First time, you can comment on ma blog and it might be some precious thing in your life when you look back after some 10-20 years, that you commented on such a great person’s blog (T&C).

T&C – i should live that long, so as you. the mentioned thing is subjected to market risk, i may not become so popular too…

Akkas, Didis and Sisters

The roots extend deep to my 1st standard, when i called devi, ma akka. Since then, i am having lots of akka. Time passed and few akkas like krithika akka and priya akka, went out of contact. The other people, i would never lose in ma life. Lets dont get emotional. As usual, we (here ‘we’ means – I) have some people to tease :)

Lets start….

1. Jeyanthi akka

Actually, i cant pull her leg much, since she shifted very near to my residence and mama might kick me. You know, the unfortunate thing for her is, mams might join me and tease her. She is one of her kind. A government bus announcing to people in the bus stand to board the bus for Jeyanthi’s marriage. Such a great influential person in Dharapuram ( dont search google maps, you might not find :P ). She cooks really cool. If you are a jaundice patient, its for you :) even diabetics can enjoy it. She is such a life saving cook. Enormously blessed with java knowledge and documentation work :P Jeyanthi akka to sum up, a comical sister.

2. Bhargavi akka

She is a calm storm i got to know after entering the world of Projects in IBM. Such a dedicated worker (mostly some chats will be on screen). Spend more time in call with bava. She is learning cooking for past 2 years, still cooked for only 3 days (all survivors asked her not to proceed further it seems). She talks in Tamil occasionally with cab drivers that wouldl make them stand infront of L&T, that is more than a KM away from our company. Such a good tamil practitioner. Her Shining quotient increased 7 % after drinking 134 grape juices at the rate of 2680 bucks in order to equalize bava, but bava simply glows :) Importantly, she is a self-parasite, eats her fingers (no more nails) all the time. Akka, your birthday present from ma side will be a glove….

3. Ranjeeta Didi

The most funniest gal i have ever seen (no more gal, she is a lady now). She is such a rock star, you will enjoy her presence (not in the same project though). She is yet to introduce her sissy miki to me yet. We at office, laughed like anything while seeing her marriage photos. She drinks a packet of coconut chutney just like that and eat a full plate of thandoori chicken. She fears needles and we made her cry for a vaccine :P On our trip to Kodaikanal, she is one such entertainer with circus lead dressings. Workaholic unlike ma other didis, blessing Pune with jiju :)

4. Parul didi

She is one of ma closest didis. All others are little bit elder and she is younger of them ( see i mentioned that you are younger), but elder than me ofcourse. She looks and acts so dumb, but a real Einstein :P She cooks really awesome, with all ready made mixes :P She grows 1.3 mm every week (in width alone), thanks for moms almonds :P She had some serious fans in our training (i still cant believe it). She is good at mockery with stupid faces. She is just looking a guy intently and important thing is, she didnt even say a ‘hi’ yet :P ( I said ‘hi’ to the gal i was seeing recently). Anytime she might waaav me with an announcement abt jiju :P Recently i agreed to sponsor for their honey moon abroad :P (will be updated once everything is disclosed)

5. Jaganya Akka

Akka a sensational character one could ever come across. She is such a sweet person. She cares for me like anything with no reason. She worries for me for no reason. After its all true love for an awesome brother :P She is so dumb at moments and will start blinking with our teasing. Akka is a cool adorable creature in the world. I love akka so much like i do love me :P

Above all i have ma own sweet chocolaty youngy sister jai. She is a xerox of me and she wont read this anyway. If you read, jai, i just wana say you are stupid and not the above sweet lines :P

Recently added sister (younger) Priya

Awesome, Legendary trip to Singapura!!!!

Its a plan that was made when we were at the end of our 6th semester. Babbu initiated it and we use to plan a foreign trip every semester from then, out of which none got executed. Kuddos to Sid, we finally got our Passport stamped with foreign seal for the first time :)

It was a completely different experience in an alien land. We roamed to all the possible places in the city-country. We stayed in Little India which was great place for south indian food stuff. To be honest, it is the only odd man out in Singapore ( a little bit clumsy area).

Stars of the trip….

  1. Trip to foreign country, got ma passport stamped
  2. Had a Coffee at StarBucks
  3. Saw more than ten smooches a day
  4. Did Sight gals with tiniest possible shorts and thinnest possible shirts
  5. Had Entire body massage by a cool, beautiful and ofcourse, sexy girl
  6. Been to a show with a great host, Judy akka rocked that night show (pics below)
  7. Observed the fact Chinese are more clumsy than Indians
  8. Got a new friend – Arun Kumaran
  9. Heard one of the best love stories in return journey
  10. Stayed for 4 days in a Red Light Area (unimaginable – but truth)

Few snaps of the trip

What if ?????????

In our daily life, there are so many “what ifs?”

What if, i got the last bus ?
What if, i didn’t see that pretty gal ?
What if, i tried to kiss her?
What if, my mom knows about my sudden change to Non-Veg?
What if, my wife knows about my Ex-girl friends broken marriage ?
What if, i met with an accident ?
what if …

yes. I want to analyze about this particular What if ……

What if, I met with an accident ?

Scenario : I met with a small accident . I am calling my best, lovable friends.

What would be their reactions ?

Babbu : what the hell you r saying ? Where ? Oh. Machi, i can understand the situation. but see, i have to board a bus, take an auto to reach there. Its really boring da…

vijay : cho cho… Machi… its really bad da. But see, it looks like raining da… while returning, it will be a problem for me da. More over, my dhadha ji saying no … sorry machi…

Mahesh : (with a cry) what da ? poda… its killing me… but see, in my purse, i have only 5 bucks da. I cant come there….

Kudi : (bad words) I will come now…vrooooooooooooooooom….
5 minutes later : call from kudi : Machi, i met with an accident on the way, thinking abt you da… please come and save me….

Samba : (not reachable)
(In case reached) : Machi, its really fucking driving da. Its really ruthless mistake da.. what the fuck you have done da… I have a show by 2:30 machi. I will come after that.

Boobu : Hallo… hallo…. who is this….? cannot hear you properly…. oh, ok ok…. i will tell others.. ( he might have understood that my relative met with an accident).

Dhaadi : what……..no no………I will be there…….
(After seeing blood spots) : (silently left)

Sano : what………….. oh no…………. wait……… ( start thinking) (its never ending process)

I could rather go by myself and get some bandages…..

These may not be their exact reactions, but more or less same.

Because of these reasons only, they are my best chaps……….
