Things.... and Bujjigadu

Things have changed a lot since I last logged in to write my previous post. Managed to get into Amazon.com's development center in Hyderabad. I've relocated to Hyderabad and staying with Pavan now. Life is going rather pleasantly at Amazon. Not much work to do though because of my team mate Anil, who takes care of anything and everything. I'm more than happy to just pass time at work :).

These days I'm obsessed with looking fit. Each time I go to a gult movie, my obsession goes to the next level because of the beautiful, super hot heroines in it. And coming to telugu movies, I've been watching loads of them in hyderabad. I've enjoying them a lot because I get to spend good time with Pavan. His ultra hectic job guarantees that he is available only during the weekends and I don't want to miss out on quality time spent with him. I've been really wanting to start writing reviews about every movie I watch just to kill some time and bore you guys :D

Last sunday, I had been to another gult movie "Bujjigadu - Made in Chennai". Pavan got the tickets in black and we both had missed the first thirty minutes of the movie. Thanked each other that we did miss that part. It would have made the whole movie seem even sillier.

It starts with the hero (Bujji -Prabhas) returning home (Vizag) from Chennai, after having ran away from his house when was just a child, for his childhood love Chitti (Trisha). Twelve years of separation deepens his love for the heroine, who is similarly looking for Bujji. On his way back, Bujji ends up in a jail where he meets two brothers who engage him to kill Shivanna, who is a Realtor and the head of a clan of mafia in hyderabad. Bujji gets to know that Chitti is in hyd too and makes it to hyderabad. He attempts to attack to Shivanna but fails in his attempt. Shivanna gets impressed with his courage and brings him back to his house and treats him till he is well. Since, its a gult movie, as usual Chitti is Shivanna's sister. And then begins the most funniest and romantic part of the movie. Bujji starts flirting with Chitti without revealing himself and the way he irritates her is a must see. And then we reach the climax, where the villains kidnap chitti's sister and demands Shivanna in return for her. As usual, the most idiotic, gravity defying fight arrives with Shivanna surviving a dozen bullets fired into his body and a stab on his back.

Leaving aside the mind boggling stunts, the movie is certainly worth watching once. Three things which would take me to this flick again are the performance of Prabhas, the superb songs and then there is the super cute n hot sister of Trisha, Sanjana.

I was completely unimpressed by the characterization of Mohan Babu (Shivanna). He is a great actor but his skills have been completely misused. He looks completely silly when says the dialogue "Silly fellow".

Sanjana certainly stole the limelight pushing Trisha aside. She is definitely another entry onto my crush list. :) Prabhas has lost loads of weight and looks cool. His body language and the way he delivered his dialogues are simply superb. Sandeep Chowta's knack of scoring cool pub beats is again on display.

And when the lights turned on for a break, I was completely thrown back by surprise. There were two really beautiful girls sitting right in front of us. Were you ever in a situation when you were confused not knowing which girl to look at ? I certainly was that moment and I simply loved it :) ."Thank God for getting us these tickets!".

Next up is "Sex and the City". I've been to it with Tulika and I'll write about it in my next post. And do drop in your comments about this post. :)

A Rosy Week

Hiee... and I greet u with a very warm Hiiiiii.... haha... welcome to my second post :) In case you've read my earlier post, then I'm frankly surprised that you've returned... haha.. As I knew I would, I'm back to my usual self.. thanks guys for ur concern. Days are flying by here in kgp, temperatures rapidly raising to arnd 40 deg... god its HOT.. very HOT here. So hot that I'm even skipping lunches just to avoid the 2 min cycle ride to Veggies to have my lunch (mess ko bhool jaao yaar .. it is its usual self... n come on final sem mein hoon.. so i force myself into the mess just a couple of times in a week).
And thanks to the courses I've taken ( 3 - of them completely stopped going to 1 ...actually haven't been to more than 4 classes to the DBMS course this sem), my week ends on the evening of thursday... hahaha :P .. And let me recall my week now... it has been WONDERFUL, LOVELY n the whole world started to look rosy again :)
(N now had to hold this writing for now... some mugging due :( ... )
(Resuming - 3rd arpil - tuesday... back frm my class where as usual slept while sitting in the first row.. :( lemme continue frm where i've left )
As i said, the week had been quite exciting... got in touch with school frens who r currently in the US. And also decided to wake up frm this slumber(had been sleeping for 15 hrs a day during these 10 days) n then get back on track... realised that the deadline for my paper submission is closer than it seemed... so had finished it up... BLISS!!! finally felt that I've done something in KGP :) and then tuesday brought me back to ground... dad called me up in the afty and told me that they've received a letter frm UIUC.. n then instantly felt the final nail in the coffin... felt bad for dad when he read it out... though expected, it was painful as dad n mom had to know abt it so early. But then things are things :). Posted my tax return forms and so waiting for my bank account to refill :D.
Had been leaving meebo ON through out the nite and frens started complaining if I ever sleep.. :) .. Wednesday had been memorable... won the baski semis against the 1st yrs.. was a tight game.. but then my team is quite patriotic.. follows the indian team for making things interesting :D .. thru to the finals!!! as far stats r available.. we haven't been to the finals at least after '97.
My sleeping hrs or rather timings have seen a huge change n i'm glad they r continuing into their 2nd week... "Sleep early.. Wake up early"... for those who r laughing at "early"... 5 am :P ... reasons arcanum for the moment :P ...
Thursday had been quite hectic... stuck to my desk.. trying to find manuals on "How to" to get the final stats for my paper.... uff!!! n so don't want to write anything that wud bore some of u or call me a geek...i wudn't want it..(but lemme throw some hints.. to get the % processor time used by my Process n get the Run time... u know wht to call me :D )
And coming to friday, we lost the finals in the last 4 mins :( but fought like the Spartans all the way :)


My Team -
(Standing) Sunny,me,goutham,pratyush,mangal,yuvi,makdi,KC,bandela
(Sitting - vijay, harsha, iota, tejaswi,ratan,satyam,tejas)

Saturday was completely dedicated to mugging... got a test on monday... sometimes I wonder if all these things still matter to me.. but then had to read :) Cursed the univs for remaining open on saturdays as well :(

And Shils, is pretty excited these days, she was finally able to leave her boredom n join a call center for these 3 months... so had been describing her induction into the company, all the jokes in the class, the funny things they were made to do to get know other members of the batch... and I had been teasing her since then, calling hers a Nursery ..hehehe. ( to describe Shils.. hmm.. my schoolmate... n .. n.. not now coz I would like to dedicate an entire post to her n i'm sure it wud still be the tip of the ice berg :) ).. and she promised to keep track of the good looking girls in her company.. frens do hep ..hehehe :D :D

Dedicated to my books the whole of sunday, haven't heard frm ppl much.Hurt my mom the most I've ever when I had to answer her regarding the apps and then abt my future plans. What a fool i'm !!!!!!! :(((( Could have lied.. but then cudn't :(. Dad called me up in the nite asking me what I've told Mom to have made her so worried. I told him to take care of her till I come and lied to him that I'm happy and everything would go well....
And then Shilpa who was supposed to have a day off at bhimili, called me up late in the nite n told me in the most dispirited tone that she had a ligament tear in the morning and had been in the hospital till then.. I was dumbstruck and could barely speak... gathered myself n asked her how it happened and then she cried "April Fool :P".. I couldn't believe myself !!! how easily i had been tricked n more than that was happy that she is alright. and then she continued saying .."stuppid!! this is my revenge for ur sms(happy ur day :P) in the afty"..hehehehe

And hey almost slipped out of my mind...
took our wing snaps in the afty.. hehe..
Had good time clicking at all the funny drawing on our walls :D And congrats Mohan for TAMU!!! :) Makes you feel how dear things are when u don't have them....

And haan, things are looking much clearer now. Thinking of quitting Oracle n joining a start up instantly .. or work for a year n then shift to google/ MSR bangy... dekhte hain :) ...

so bbye for now!! have a gr8 week... shall catch up with some more happenings :)

My First Blog - My Frustration!

Hi all!!! well, had been thinking about having a blog of my own from the last year or so to share with people the happenings in my life. But never expected i would be writing one at this juncture i'm in... having got rejected by most of the univs I've applied to, alone n having watched an episode of Aladdin till abt 5 am in our TV room.. singing(or rather shouting) out loud to all the crazy songs I saw along side.... wanting to vent out all my frustration on how life treated me since the last year or so.
Hmm... by now I might have put off most of u guys ... n for the few who r on the verge of closing this window but thinking what this blog mite hold.. read along...

I've never considered myself to be a good writer and so do not think much about all the syntactical(hehehe CSE guy bhaii) errors here... n so lemme write everything in the most simple, casual and straight forward manner that i like and hoping that u get the semantics(hahaha) behind it:)

My life as a student is about to finish forever n ever.. yo man i'm abt to graduate this may!!! n let me look back over on how I've spent the last 19 yrs of my life...

Had my schooling at P.E.N. in vizag. Had been arrogant through out my school days... but hey I was the topper in my class not to mention being the School's captain... winning most of the competitions at school .. be it painting, quizzing, debating n etc etc etc... Those were the best days of my life thus far and forever will remain so. Had lots n lots n lots of friends... who are still there for me.... I'm my friends... chalo lemme tell u all the fun i've had in my next bloggg ( if I do write one).

Don't want to say anything about the 3 yrs I've spent after school preparing to get into the most esteemed place of learning at this level... the IITs. N most of what I write about it revolves around one single person.. Mr. Mohan Rao - most of u might have had hands on experiences with him.. and even this is reserved for the next blogg.

03CS1007 - That is what I'm at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. A 2003 admit into the Department of Computer Science & Engineering there.(And so I woke up at 1:30 pm to finish this.. thanks to the banging of my door with the tennis ball by my wingies who were playing cricket with the door as the stumps... woke up n yelled at them asking if it doesn't matter to 'em if some ****** is sleeping inside. SORRY mates !!! lost it again ).. And since I'm trying to keep this blog as short as possible.. lemme put it as one roller coaster ride with such good friends Ravi, Nagu n Sourish by my side all the time... who've come all the way from their halls at 12 in the nite just to make sure I'm alright tonite... Thanks for ur concern guys !!! And probably ppl who know me would remember me as the loser who broke down in the last lap , a few yards from the chequered flag... I would sign off with how my Orkut profile should reflect how I'm now...

before:
I'm just one of those guys you wud find everyday around you smiling back at u - plain, simple n casual... njoii movies n music,going out with frens, a little lazy at times (:D),love spicy indian food... n with chote chote sapne of making it BIG someday... Overall a mixed bag of emotions :)

after:
I'm just one of those many losers you wud find everyday around you smiling back at u - plain, simple n casual... irritably frustrated who prefer staying alone and numb... shouting back at "The Saints are Coming", lazy n having lost all the enthu to do things , on a diet spree... n with no more sapney... And theres just one emotion left in me... AGONY !!!!

I feel a lot better now.. a lot lot better... something I cudn't feel after having drunk 4 glasses of bournvitas... an ice tea and a cold coffee back to back... not even after punching my fist as hard a s I could at the wall(n believe me .. u won't feel the pain in ur knuckles)... not after flipping channels from 1-80-1-80 sitting alone in the TV room till 5 shouting back at the TV...

N I solemnly plead u not to form an opinion from what my blog says about me ( ofcourse, it doesn't matter now)... n I bow to the few who r still reading this line... have a gr8 day... come back here a few days later n I hope I can write to you some rosy news.. hopefully I'm back to myself pretty soon and complete my project (not that it matters much now)... N probably most of you might be thinking what an idiot i'm being for reacting this way for just being rejected by a few univs... but lemme tell you in short that it does hurt... hurt BIG time (as Ravi puts it).. especially when you've always wanted to do a PhD n having worked hard(i believe so) for the last 4 yrs.... n if this decision is about to change your life forever n ever.... from a path of getting a phd, working at MSR/google/intel and becoming an entrepreneur myself ... to something like doing a mundane job( forgot to mention i'm placed at Oracle.. not that i'm referring to Oracle as a mundane place to be at.. this is what i felt of doing job at B.Tech) for the rest of my life... 10 am to 6 pm.... n i really feel like being stabbed when ppl console me saying that "hey you still have a job with you.. so don't worry"..... but when dreams are shattered(UIUC, Gatech n UCI are still in the pipeline but no hopes of making into them.. n now even I wouldn't want to join them at this state... and having being left as the only guy in my dept. to have not being accepted as of yet) ... n not being able to live up to my own expectations ( when it comes to my happiness... my parents are like any parents who are just happy with what ever I'm and who don't weigh me down with their expectations...) ... i feel the pain of being stabbed by a thousand knives when ever I try analyzing the way I'm now...
But then from my past experiences of the year... I've learnt that my fate had taken a U-turn and hence just acknowledging things now.... n to ppl who've already started worrying as to what would happen to me ... I'm not a coward... nor a fool... I know that time heals everything... and hence waiting for my offer letter frm oracle to go n lead a passive life down in bangalore....

Adios n cheers!!!!

( P.S. Ravi, nagu, sourish or shilpa... I guess one of you guys would be the first ones to read this .......if at all i do publish this .... this is just something I've written for myself as a reminiscence of the nite when I was quite let down by myself.... )
