Utopia..My current destination!!

I read many things about life.Life is a myriad of convolutions..it's very tough to understand life and many other arguments...Rarely i get a feeling to break-free the ties of life and escape to a dreamland..A place where no feelings exists..there is no pain,there is no suffering...a place free from selfishness..egoism and hatred..though i look at things in a practical manner,at times i feel loneliness..i could sense a lump in my throat and the stomach becomes unbearably heavy.." The whole life stops at that moment and my mind comes to a halt..Neither the past nor the future bothers me... and nothin in this world appears as a priority..An hence is my curent state...

far from the world..
deep into the woods..
where no life exists..
and complete joy prevails....Utopia...My current destination!!

Re-Union!

Sat 11th March 06
The night was tough...but the day is a lot more promising.Having had scheduled to meet most of my friends today..i shouldn't have been awake the whole of previous night..After getting down at imliban bus-stand we ( me & my bro) headed directly to my uncle's house.Even before finishing the daily routines i called rams and made sure the programme for the day goes as it is planned..Got to know that Rams also had a tough night but for different reasons..I always had enough trust on rams and hence felt confident that he would take care to get all the people in time.At 10:30 am i started to Central ( panjagutta..had to call rams twice to rem the name properly..) via metro..not to get confused with delhi metro..this is apsrtc metro bus!! I reached there well before the scheduled time of 11:30.Since no one has arrived yet..i decided to go through the mall if anything would interest me..Everything seemed to be the same..Every mall..every showroom all are the same.with routine designs and expensive labels...i dedcided not to buy any..Also it struck to me that i could actually venture into medium sized economically low priced garment industry..but ofcourse that is one of many POP(practically-not-possible)ideas i get everyday..

It's already 11:30 and i have roamed the whole of central inculding ladies lingerie section and one could find out that i'm clearly not there to buy anything..rams have finally reached there along with gopi and asked to meet at Pizza hut (the one below central)..So i rushed to the Gnd floor to get a glimpse of Dhoni..yeah..it's actually rams but you know it happens...u always mistake rams with different celebrities owing to his latest hair-styles and his taste in dressing..It used to be John Abraham till we had last seen each other...Now it's Dhoni..I doubt if Dhoni himself would become jealous if he had seen rams...I should have got a snap of him and posted here for you guys to see him..beleive me or not..all i've said is absolutely true..Standing next to him his Gopi..He isn't changed a lot..The same smart looking short school boy types..After a round of hugs i learnt that Madhu(Acharya...no clue abt our vanki..) and Azzu are on their way to central..

So the news is that we'll have to wait till the others arrive and that means..spending more time here doing window-shopping..This time we did buy something..two shirts..one for me and one for my bro...this actually reminds me of that childhood poem..baba black sheep..:)..before these guys actually came up,we happened to meet a few surprise guests...Susheel..yes our very own GOD susheel..became very lean and could make out that he is working very hard..also trying to do ICWA..would never stop learning new things...and then KVDK..with one his girl friends..Slowly Madhu and azzu(he is here to attend one of his friend's marraige) came and then followed Kampu..remember his tradition to delay things..and abt his neatness..this time he is well dressed and reminded me of Prabhas..(external appearance..who knows if he had actually bathed that day??)

Then we left to Jaffrani..a restaurant suggested by madhu..in himayat nagar..The biryaani was not too great but the pan we had after the meal was worth mentioning..i should have had another one..but was discouraged by madhu..All the time we were pulling each other's legs..but you know who dominated the whole show..From there we left to Prasad's to relish my long-standing dream of visiting prasad's and watch a movie in the IMAX..All we could get was tkts for Maalamaal Weekly..a hindi movie by priyadarshan (for ppl who don't folow movies)..Since we had a good 1 hr time for the movie to start ,we went to the kids game zone and tried our hands at it..We almost tried every game..Air hockey,road rash,car race,some 3d gaming stuff etc..Lokked like Azzu and Kampu enjoyed their day out completely...But the movie was a complete let-down..for diff reasons..The main reason being..getting seats in 1st row from the bottom..and there isn't much comedy in the movie..After a long slow-patch of 2 hrs..in which rams slept..azzu and gopi had a few laughs..madhu put up wild expressions for he couldnn't understand much from the movie..kampu silently enjoyed the fragrance of the girl sitting beside her..and you know what i was doing all the time..;) the movie ended..

Later after the movie..we parted and kampu had volunteered to drop me in my brother's house at Ameerpet..The traffic was equally bad at hyderabad and it took some 25 min to reach my brother's place..Kampu did narrate a lot of stories (he is known for his style of narration) and his adventures at Satyam..At around 7:30 he too left after dropping me at my bro's house..I had a delightful day..Though my dream of watching a movie in IMAX still remains unrelished, the trip is memorable and hope to have more of these in the coming days..

Road-trip!

Fri 10th march 06.
It's homecoming day for me and i'm very excited that i'm travelling home nearly after 4 months.But somewhere inside i'm a little unhappy for the fact that i would be missing the trekking trip my friends would be visiting that weekend.It was raining heavily and i had to find my way through the busiest traffic of bangalore to marathalli,from where i join my brother and board the bus.As the rain kept pouring down,my thoughts were still lingering around the valleys,mountains and all that fun i'm going to miss..meanwhile the rains have just worsened the traffic poblems and i had finally managed to reach my bro with 25 min left for the bus to departure.Finally the bus has arrived( a 15 min delay..but expected with apsrtc ).The bus slowly moved through the lanes of bangalore before it stopped at various junctions where passengers hurrily occupied their reserved seats as if someone else would snatch away their seats..
Having a hard day already,i slowly started to comfort myslef in the neatly cushioned seat and then bus halted for yet another boarding point..There was only one passenger who got into the bus and somehow the person seemed familiar to me..As i opened my eyes completely and regained my consciousness,i exclaimed.."Oh..my gosh!!".I thought incidents like these happen only in telugu movies..but i witnessed a coincidence..something which is very hard to believe..something which is beyond the scope of the bestest dreams..And at that moment,my friends and the trekking trip didn't bother me at all.. my mind was filled with only one set of words...
"Wake up dude..No more sleep tonight!!"
