Perfect Date by Chance

One Friday around 8 in the evening my mobile started ringing. I saw that it was my college friend calling. Picked up the call and say said "hi". The voice from the other end said, "Hey Krishnaaaa... howz you?"
I said "Heyyyyyyyyyy m good... howz u? long time?"
She said "m gud too.. yeah itz been long time. I called you up to talk regarding that only.Itz been quite a long time that we all friends met. May be next week we will try 2 catch".
I said " that's a gr8 idea. I will speak to some people and see what they say".
But I was waiting for her to say that she wud call Sanjana, the girl behind whom I was roaming in my college days. She was friend of mine too but not that very close.To make sure if she calls her also i asked " Whom all are you callin? "
she said some 4 people names and at last she said Sanjana :)
I was so excited and said "ok done. Next week we all will go for a movie then".
It was then decided that we all will go for a movie on sunday for 4-30 PM show. It was friday and my friend called me up and said, " Sorry krishna I will not be able to come this weekend as I am supposed to go to office :(" .
I was heart broken that the chance to see Sanjana is going out of my hand. But she even asked me to go ahead with others.
I called up one by one and asked the status. Some people backed out as this girl was not comin. Even they said may be next week we will meet. It was my turn to call the last person Sanjana. I had no option but to say that the program has to be cancelled as no one else was coming.
Unwillingly I called up Sanjana. Her mobile started ringing and my mouth was getting dry. She picked up the phone and said "hello".
I said "Hi Sanjana, how are you?".
She replied "I am fine thx. how are you?".
I said "I am fine too. But thing is that everyone backed out of the Sunday plan because of their personal work and some other reasons".
She replied " Oh... ok. no problem then we can meet some other time itself then".
I nervously asked her "Are you also busy on Sunday with something????"
She replied "Not really why?"
I dint know weather to ask or not.. but at last I gave it a shot. "If you are ok, then we both can go ahead and watch the movie. Why to cancel the plan completely".
I was so tensed... thinking what she would reply..
She thought for a while and said "ok done... we will go ahead".
I was just sooooooooooo happy that I could control myself... he he :P
Suddenly I told her, "OK I will call you tomorrow and let you know where we can meet and the timings".
She said "ok".
Then we hanged the phone. I was so excited that I was going for a movie alone with someone whom I had liked sooooooooooo much in college...It was like a dream come true :P After hanging the phone I thought and thought and made a plan to spend one full day with her. I dint want to miss out this chance and wanted it to be very special. Next day I called her up, "Hi Sanjana, about tomorrow's plan, we will meet in the BSK bus stand at 10 in the morning".
I was only praying that she will not say that she will not be able to come tomorrow. but instead she asked me "y so early?"
I said "We have not booked any tickets yet, so we will to leave early".
She replied "KKKKKKK. We will meet at 10 then" and then hanged the phone.
That night I could not sleep. I was so excited about the next day and I just could not control my happiness.
Then came sunday and I got up early at 7 itself. Got ready by 9 and left my house. Sent her a message that I am leaving my house now. She also messaged back that she will leave soon.
I then reached the bus stop and stood there waiting for her. She got down from the bus. Oh god!!! I was seeing her after a long time. gosh...She was soooooooooo pretty and cute as b4 :P... I dint call her the moment I saw her.. I just stood there watching her crossing the road... Was so crazzy :P
She picked her phone and was trying to make a call... I realised that she was calling me. I saw her call and picked up and said... "ya Sanjana... I can see you ... I just got down and crossing the road..
I just came towards her ... she saw me and smiled... "Hey sanjana howz u??? long time?" I asked her.
She replied "m gud.. howz u? "
I said " m gud... chalo lets get into the bus... itz there"
We got into the bus. I was wishing that she should not go and sit in the ladies seat :P else I will have to go back and sit alone:(. Luckily she sat just one seat behind the ladies seat :)... I went and sat next to her :P :P :P..
I always had that habit of eating something while travelling. So I just pulled out polo and asked her if she would like to have. She started smilin :O
god.... It is awesome 2 see cute girls smilin. It just brightens the mood of us :P
But I was confused and asked her" wat happened? y u laughing"
She said " I remember you is to give chocolates like this in college also " :O
I remembered that and laughed.. "Ya that time I was giving chocolates but now polo".
Then we had chat about what was happening in life and little bit about college. we got a bit closer by talking so much. We were getting comfortable with each other. At last we were done with speaking all that... I was thinking what 2 speak next.. I then remembered my weapon.. PJ :P... So thought of cracking PJ and make her laugh is best way to impress a girl..
The first PJ I cracked was.... I told her " hope the bus driver will drive properly and take us". She asked me "y u saying that". I said " u r sitting at the window seat and driver can see you through his mirror... If he keeps doing that then gone case :P :P :P".
She turned to me and started smiling and said " tooo much". I felt that PJ formula is workin, so cracked some more silly jokes like that and made her laugh.
We reached the theatre stop and got down. We went to the theatre and saw that the morning show had already begun. The tickets were available for 4-00 PM show and it was just 11-30 AM. I said "Sanjana morning show has already begun and next show tickets are booked. So we have tickets available for 4 PM only. What do we do?".
she said " ohhh... what do we do then? we will go back?"
I dint want to go back... so said " We will get the tickets for the 4PM show and spend time till then here and there and watch the movie.
She asked "What do we till then?".
"We ll shop for some time and roam here and there... " I said.. She agreed :)
Bought the tickets and came out of the theatre. She asked "so where are we going now?"
I told her that there is a brand factory here. May be we can hang around there for sometime and spend time.
It was an amazing feeling to walk with the one whom u liked so much next to you.. . we shopped there for sometime and ended up buying things even though I was not interested :(. I dint want to make her feel that we are just doing a pure time pass there... :P
There were so many nice cloths in which I wud have loved her to put on :P but dint have the guts to ask her to try those.
We came out of the shop at around 1-30. I said her that I was feeling hungry.Then we both went for lunch and had our food there and came out by 3PM. We started walking towards the theatre as we had just 1 hour left for the movie. There was a lawn in front of the theatre where many couples were sitting and having a nice chat. I just said her, "come lets sit here for sometime and then we will go in as we have around 30 mins".
we sat there for sometime and talked something about the movies. Then it was time for us to go and watch the movie.. We watched the movie and came out at around 6-30PM. We then headed straight back to jayanagar where we had coffee and chatted for some more time.
It was around 7-30 PM. and she said that she will leave for the day. I just made a sad smily :P she looked at me and started smilin :)D. I waited till she got into the bus and left. Gosh it was such a memorable day which happened by chance.
I messaged her "thanks Sanjana. I had a gr8 time wit you. Let us meet soon again for another movie".
After sending the message, I had kept another message ready saying " I was just kiddin :P".
But she replied " Ya sure :)".
It reminds me of the sayin "Never miss an opportunity.. :P". Lucky are those who convert those opportunities and strike at the right time :P
Everything just happened by chance and I had my first date which stands memorable till now. :)
Last, this was my first attempt writing the fictional story :P :P :P

One Minute Victory

A voice said, One Two Three shoot... 3 guys started running and after 3 mins 4 people where carrying me back to hostel. :O he he
Way back in my school, a day before the inter house obstacle race, three of my friends set to record our timings for the race. As we all started to run, the third obstacle was jumping off from a high wall. The trick was to rest our hands on the wall and then take a jump but instead to gain the lead I jumped into the air to cover as much distance as possible from the high wall and landed flat foot on the ground. The very next moment I was not able to stand on my own and fell down on the ground. The people rushed towards me and carried me to the school medical inspection room. The doctor advised me bed rest for some days and I was advised not to take part in the obstacle race the next day. The most exciting part of school was the inter house competitions and i had missed it :(. Recently last year i had a hearty laugh when my roommate who also happens to be my school mate told me that they celebrated when they got to know that I was unfit to participate in the Hurdles race competition...
The doctor asked me to get it checked with the big hospital in the city as I was not able to walk with my flat foot. I was walking only with my toes and could not touch my heels to the ground. The doctor said that I just need rest and should not put pressure on the foot for some more days.
Exactly after a month of obstacle race there was the biggest event in the school i.e athletics. We all were preparing the list of participants for each of the events. My name was given in some of the events assuming I would be fine before the athletics. I was supposed to participate in long run events and hurdles race. But I was still not well for the athletics too and I asked others to replace in the long runs. It was the day the hurdles race was supposed to happen and I asked someone else to replace me again. The captain told me that we do not have a replacement and they asked me to just go there and give it a try. I went near the hurdles and saw them, it was 1.1 mtrs high and the next moment I knew it would hurt me badly if I tried jumping it. Then arrived the hurdles event day and participants were getting warmed up for the event. I too went in there and tried running on my toes only and made sure that I never ever touch my heels to the ground. I just tried taking a jump on one of the hurdle and to my worst, my heels touched the ground and it pained like hell and I sat on the ground. My friends told me to drop the idea of running if it is going to pain. I said i will give it a try and they advised me to stop in between and skip the race in case the leg pains too much.
I stood at the starting point for the race with so much of tension because I dint know what I was going to do the very next moment. But i dint want to give up the race and I was waiting for the gun to be shot in the air to start the race. I heard the voice again shouting one and my heart started beating much faster. As soon as I heard the gun shot, I started running on my toes and jumped the first hurdle and by mistake it touched the heels again and pained. I decided not to jump the other hurdles and use my knee to make the hurdle fall and keep running. And to my luck I made all the hurdles to fall in my lane only and ran. To my disbelief I was the one who touched the finishing line first and ran a little more further because I can could not stop suddenly running on toes. I just turned back and saw all the hurdles had fallen down in my lane he he... All my house mates started running towards me to congratulate and lifted me up. This was the first sport event for which I stood first and I was so excited about it. I heard a voice saying Soooper le Krishna... It was my hostel superintendent. Then me with my friends were discussing about the final race as to what strategy to be used. I told them I would use the same strategy and use my left leg to make all the hurdles fall instead of the right leg as it was bleeding a bit after the race. The serious discussion was disturbed when someone shouted that the School registrar was coming towards us. I just thought he was coming to congratulate me. He came to me and told, nice strategy but not a good sportsman spirit. He asked me to run again. The hostel superintendent argued that the rule of the event is just to finish the run and need not jump the hurdles , the only rule is that hurdles should not be made to fall in the other's lanes else the person gets disqualified. But registrar did not agree and asked me to run again. But I was not ready again and lost the race in the second time. My victory just lasted for only one minute he he... :P

My 6th Sense Analysis on GOAL

Many a times we complain our near and dear ones about the dislikes of the job that we have in our hand. We want to move out of what we have in our hand and get into something else. But we are not sure of what we like in the long way to come. We just feel that the work I do currently is stupid and get into a more challenging job. Imagine a company having 10000 people and each one of them asking for a challenging job which is quite not possible.
Usually we are not aware of what we want to be in our profession. One common answer we hear is, to be a successful professional. Ask them how do they go about it. just no clue.
A sucessful professional has a goal in mind and in turn makes shoft term goals which takes him towards that final goal. Just applying that logic to a professional who wants to become a tech architect, what steps does he/she has to follow. The work that a person does may not always take you towards your goal but that should not stop one from moving towards it. Instead make short term goals in the career like designing mini project that involves all by yourself or with your friends. A person just cannot run towards the goal. They need to understand the skills required and start working on it.
These short term goals let a person to discover where do they stand in pursung their dreams. Another big advnatage of achieving those shorter goal makes is that it makes one believe in his/her capabilities.This pushes us to cross our barrier and think of doing somehing big next time. When you make people known of what you have done then they get to know what you are capable of. Conveying message through actions and facts is better way then just saying it. One has to convince yourself first that you can do it and then convince others about it. IF you cant convince yourself then you will never convince others.This reminds me of a sayng "You are the best... you just have to prove it".
Having small small achievable goals boosts the moral of a person. It leads to motivate yourself. The best motivation that a person can have is the self motivation. When we start trusting ourself , We don't have to look out for others always to gain motivation to move ahead in life.
I remember one funny incident in my school. In my PUC II nd year, an X-student of my school had come. He was quite famous in school as he had joined IIT and had a superb CET ranking. We interacted with him and understood what he was upto. He said that he works in US and was working on weather forecasting. We were so excited listening to what work he was doing. The day he left, everyone in my batch started reading IIT entrance exam book including me. As days passed we again lost interest in it and we were back to the state where we started off. What we all tend to do is to copy a successful person. But what we miss out is the reason behind being successful. This reminds me of a saying "you are born original.. Don't die as copy".
Let us have our own original goal in place and proceeds towards it using the learnings from the successful people instead of copying their goal as ours. The motivation from others is not permanent. we always look out for such things to happen to us to keep us motivating . But instead you trust yourself and be able to self motivate yourself, then it is like you dont have to wait for the fuel from others instead you can regenarte fuel and keep moving in life.
It is just my sixth sense analysis on the goals of a person :P

(Break+Make) Man = A * in U

It was third day of the first semester of an engineering college. A guy comes to the class late by 5 mins and asks for permission. He sees an empty row on the right side of the classroom and occupies it silently. Then a bunch of girls enters the classroom and asks the only guy sitting in the row to move in. The guy without uttering a word gets up from the seat and leaves the place for the girls to sit and goes to the last bench in the class. The reason is coz of the guy almost never had an experience of talking to girls and was very shy to speak to them. He had done his studies till 12th in a boy’s boarding school which was almost outside the city and with no interaction to the outer world. Everything was available in the school campus with no necessity for the guy to go outside the school campus.It was Me :)
In the mid of the second year of my engineering, my friend introduced me to the world of chatting. Sharing things with unknown people without even seeing them was very exciting. I got so much addicted to it that I never missed chatting even a single day. I remember, many times I went outside the college to a browsing centre to chat when the internet was down. Then came the 3rd semester exams and I could manage well with my studies and chatting also until there was a paper which almost killed me. I was quite confident of that paper as I had listened well to the lectures in the class. It was Data Structures paper. I had never opened the book even once, not even during the internals. It was only the classroom lessons and internals had gone pretty well. I had a friend who studied only on the day before the exam sitting all through the night and had faired pretty well. I was quite excited about doing it, I wanted to give it a try at least once, so wanted to experiment that with this paper. I never touched the book even during the day time. I just thought that a day before the paper I will open the book and brush up the concepts. It was 6:00PM and I opened the book to read. As I started to read it I felt quite difficult to understand the concepts written in the book. The implementation of the concepts explained in the book was quite different from the way it had been taught in the class.
There was a buzz that we have to write according to the book in the exams. So i tried hard to understand the initial pages of the book. I had hardly finished the 10 pages of the book and the clock rang 10:00PM. Yes, it was time for me to go and chat. My roommate warned me not to go, but I ignored and went ahead. Finished chatting by 12:00 and returned back to room. Along with friends went to have a cup of coffee to get rid of sleep as we had planned for a night out. Came back from night canteen and started reading the book. After struggling to understand the initial pages I had started to understand the other chapters. It was 3AM in the morning and I had hardly covered 50% for the paper. Then I along with my friend went for a walk in the night. After coming back from the walk, I hardly had time to cover up the rest of the syllabus. I felt I understood the stuff well from the book, so I started reading it so fast that i had completed reading for the 100 marks by 5:30Am. My eyes were pulling very badly. I felt that it if sleep now I would get up very late for the exam. But I could not control my sleep; i just laid down on my bed thinking on the subject I had studied. I started feeling bit of restlessness; I was not getting convinced that I had studied well for the paper. I got up twice to refer back the book to understand some concepts. I could not help but keep thinking about it till early morning 7 AM. I got up and realized that I hardly had 2 hours left for the exam. I got ready but i was getting so damm tensed. I called up my Mom and told her that I am not able to remember any thing and forgetting what ever I had studied. I started crying over the phone. My mom consoled me saying cheer up boy; I know what you are capable of, just go there and write whatever comes to your mind. I hanged the phone and went for the exam.
My tension reduced a bit, after I read the question paper, it was quite straight forward. I started off with the first question which was a theoretical one. Then came the worst that I had never expected. It was a simple program to be written and I started off to answer the question. I just could not recollect what needs to be written after the first 2 lines of the code. Tried so hard to write the other lines of code but just could not. Same thing happened for most of the programmatically in the question paper. As I turned the paper and found one 20 mark question which was to write short notes. I remember writing nearly 8 pages for that question. Just kept on writing whatever came to my mind. I had just put in everything that I had with me. Then tried to come back to programmatically questions and still could not recollect what needs to be written. Oh God!!!i was completely blank. Final bell rang and the most horror movie in which i had starred had ended. I was almost confirmed that I would fail as I had hardly attempted 40 marks and most of it was theory which is difficult to score. Everyone was so happy that just one paper was left over to finish and the paper they had just finished was pretty easy. I still remember everyone cracking jokes and having fun while i was sitting silent and didn’t feel like eating. I came back to my room and lied on my bed with tears in my eyes. I told my roommate of what had happened and he advised me to get out it soon as i had another paper to be given to finish the sem exams. If I don’t concentrate on that exam i would flunk that also i felt. In the evening I just sat down with couple of friends and tried hard to laugh at the jokes that they cracked. But I just could not be normal. Something was pulling me down. I started feeling that whatever I read, will forget.
I remember sitting and writing the C++ book which was the next paper. But i hardly could concentrate on the book. I was not able to look into the book and read it. I was kept on reminding of that horror incident. My friend later came to me and explained me about 40 marks. Rest I just kept on writing the book. I entered the exam thinking i wud flunk this also. Thank god, most of it was theory and I could somehow pull it off normally.
After exams everyone was watching movies in their pcs but i had just started to break myself. Yes, i had started to loose my self confidence. I went for my vacations and hardly spoke to anyone. One day my Mom came to me and said, Son forget it, exams are over. Come with me; let’s go to neighbor’s house. I refused to accompany her. She said, it's ok come you will have a change. I just went there with no interest.
'Namaskar' said an unfamiliar voice. I looked up and gave an authentic smile greeted them in return. That person started, 'I heard so much about u. Your parents have done so much to make you study and you people have responded back well on that, despite so many challenges. I did not know whether I should be happy with whatever had happened in the past or unhappy about the failure in the future. The pressure started mounting on me as to what would these people think if I fail in my semester exams.
In their house I met a very young girl who was still in her 7th std. she was cute girl with a pleasant smile on her face. Her dad proudly said that their daughter had topped the 6th std with more than 90% in a CBSE school. I did not speak to her on that day. But when i had gone there next time her mom told me the difficulties that the girl faced. The fees of the CBSE School was quite high. Thankfully the school has agreed for the fees in installments. The school also had given them the warning twice for not paying the fees regularly. Her dad was a taxi driver. It's hard to get customer in a small town so the only income was pickup and drop of school children in the taxi. Her mom and grandma were running a Kirani shop selling small items. That little girl was aware of all these problems and still studied so well and also taught her younger brother well. It clearly was a live example of what a dedication can do to a person. Amazing she was. I still remember her parents asking me if there is any scholarship scheme available for her. I could not remember any for school going children.
I came back to the college after my vacations and was still in that shock. I could hardly concentrate on any of the activities. I still remember it had its effects even in the football game that I played. Just could not focus on what i was doing. I is to walk back from the field cursing myself as to what the hell was wrong with me? Why is it happening to me only? Day by day things were getting worse. I had started to write the entire book to understand whatever i studied.
Then came the semester results. I was just so scared to look at that. One of my friends came to me and said that even the topper was in 70s. I was completely shocked. In the first year the topper scored over 90%. My heart started beating so fast as i was approaching towards the results board. One friend came to me and said congrats you have scored 67% and went off. I didn’t understand what's happening. I looked at my results in tension and saw that my results read First class. I was relieved a bit and looked at the data structures marks. It read 38 out of 100. Oh God!!! That was one of the happiest moments of my life. One of my friends told me 'Dude Data structure paper correction very strict'. I felt like laughing. I asked him whatz the matter. He replied 'I was expecting over 90 and ended up getting 37'. I asked him to apply for re-evaluation and left.
In the 4th sem exams I somehow pulled it off with so much of struggle. After my 2nd year in hostel, I moved out to stay with my brother. I had 2 best chat friends. I had stopped chatting almost and talked to those 2 friends over phone. I never ever expected that the worst would come in my 5th sem exams. It was 7 days to go for the exams and those were one of the most horrific days of my life. I remember those days I was not able to recollect anything that i had studied the earlier night. I studied entire day thinking I would not remember anything and tried recollecting the same in the night. Hence i hardly slept and felt that my mind was blank again in the next morning. I recall those days when my parents/friends calling me up almost everyday to cheer me up and tried convincing me saying it is just exam fear and nothing to worry. But I was never convinced. I had revised the first paper syllabus thrice and still had no confidence that I would pass. On the night before the exam some weird thoughts started coming to my mind. Yes! I was thinking of running away far from all these. I felt no use in studying anything as I would forget it anyways. I started thinking what I would do if I run away from this. May be take up anything which I feel like doing like music which i loved so much. I feel I was so crazy those days.. he he.. At last i decided, if the next day paper does not go well I would run away.
Then came the day and as I entered the exam hall I was so damm tensed and received the qn paper. As i looked through the paper, I felt I knew most of the things. But to the worst of it, I could not even answer the first question itself. I just sat down with blank mind for the first hour of the exam. Oh god!! it had started happening to me again. After almost an hour with my answer sheet completely blank started off looking at the theory questions. Somehow could manage to answer 60+ marks and came out. I came back to my room and told my brother of the problem that i faced. He was cool and said it is just because you don't sleep at night. I did not realize the importance of his words. Before he went to his bed he asked me to get ready early next morning and he would take me a Guruji who taught him Yoga in his college days and he was here in Bangalore. I said ok.
As usual I was almost awake the entire night and got ready the next morning and set out to meet the Guruji. We boarded the bus and made a transition with a tempo and reached the Ashram at around 11AM. We both went inside and we were asked to wait for sometime as Guruji was in middle of some Pooja. I had carried a book which i kept on reading without understanding anything as i hardly concentrated on it. The place was so beautiful and full of greenery. Then a person walked upto us and informed that we can go and meet the Guruji now. I and my bro sat on the floor. Guruji asked me to come forward and sit. He asked me what is bothering you my son. I told him that whatever i studied i never remembered during the exams the next day. My mind goes blank and I started crying. Guruji said, "Don’t cry. Nothing has happened to you. Why do you fear the failure? What will happen even if you fail? Will the whole world stop functioning? All the people who have failed in exams are not failures in life. I conduct a 10 day workshop every month" and he asked me join for the next month batch. Do not think about the results. Then he instructed a person standing next to him to take us and show the ashram.
That person took us for the lunch first and then showed the school. It was a very beautiful place to learn. He said that 'here we do not believe the Pass and fail system. We expect every person to give in their 100%". It was around 5PM and we planned to leave. We attended a pooja and left the ashram.I felt bit better. I reached the home at 9-30PM and I didn’t know what had happened to me. I started reading the book again from the beginning. I had hardly studied for 20 marks and slept off as i was very tired. I got up in the morning and realized that i had so much to cover. I just opened the computer and started going through the PPT that was used by our lecturer to teach in the class. Went for the exam and wrote whatever came onto my mind and i never felt that my mind was blank.
When I came back to my room and started thinking of what had just happened. Things would actually go well if we do not fear the failure and to sleep before the exam no matter how the worst situation we are in. I just informed my bro of what had happened. He said very calmly. It is common that a person mind goes blank if he/she does not have a proper rest. He was so true.
Guess making of a broken person had begun. I just made it a point to sleep at least for 4 hours. But the experience of a bad incident always keeps reminding of you the past even after you might have come over it successfully. It needs some time to move on. Then came my results and I had done decently well. I felt i was so stupid messing up my life with chatting and then troubling all my friends and family members during my exams. Oh god, thank you so much for having given so many wonderful people around me. They never discouraged when I was broken and supported me morally so well. But anyways as people say whatever happens, happens for good. It had taught me some of the invaluable lessons in my life.
Then came the 6th sem which went off without much trouble. And then came the campus interviews. We planned to start off with IBM and appear for one company before starting off with IBM. It was TCS for me. Appeared for the online first round which I cleared and appeared for the next series rounds. I hardly knew abt the company and was helped by a girl who told me abt the company. We both, I and the girl who had helped had cleared the interview. Wow what a feeling it was. It makes you believe you that you are worth something and makes you feel we are capable of achieving something. Cool ..
In my final semester, we were supposed to make teams for the final year project which i had made with another guy. Then came a rule that no 2 member team. So we sat back and searched for 3 member teams. We got one in the hostel and another from the girl who had helped in the TCS interview. So we both decided that my teamie would join the hostel team and I would join the other.
It was quite difficult as my team was of 3 girls and I was the only guy and I hardly spoke to girls earlier. It took me some time to get adjusted with them and understand them. Later I realized that these girls were actually very sweet and caring. The days were passing very fast. We almost spent one month in just understanding the algorithm that we were implementing. So after discussion we decided that we would implement and would carry out the same at home also. We even had so much of fun and watched movies bunking the classes. Even though we had some obstacles during the course of the implementation of the project, we pulled it off so brilliantly in the end. We were so proud of what we had done. It actually boosted my confidence so much. It was something big which i had been a part of and was very successful. Our hard work had paid off. In the final demo it was decided that I would give the demo while other 3 girls will do the speaking. I always stick onto my opinion that English sounds very sweet in girl’s voice. :)
The project had given a me a bit of self confidence. Someday back I was watching a movie called 'Happy Days'. I remember the last scene in the movie where the hero asks one of the lecturers, ' What have i achieved in the 4 years of my college life. I just feel that i had come 4 days back and college is over. The Lecturer replies back, "college is not a place where you just get a degree, you get to learn the most important lessons of your life which will lay the foundation stones in your life'. He was so true in whatever he said. I had learnt one thing for sure, how to talk to girls... he he he
When i sit back and think a bit on my past. I feel there are so many things that may break a person. But on the way back to making of a man he/she learn the most valuable lessons in life. I had such wonderful people around me who helped when i was in the worst phase of my life. I just wanna thank all those lovely people in my life. I also urge others to do your bit to help a person when in depression instead of demoralizing. It sounds stupid to see a depressed person behaving weird but pls help them out else those people might end up harming their lives.
I end up by saying, making a broken man all again will truly result in finding so much what he/she is capable of in their life. That’s why (Break+Make)Man=A * in U.
Celebrate Life... rock on...

One Night @ S6

It was 9 in the evening and I was @ the Bangalore Railway Station waiting for the Hampi Express train to arrive. I was quite bored as I was all alone and did not have any journey partner. To beat up the boredom, I started calling my friends. Then suddenly my friend arrived in front of me and said Heyyyyyyy.. Eno Illi(How come here dude???). I told him that I am going to my hometown. He too said that he is on his way to Bellary. At last, felt a bit relieved that I have a company to travel. The train arrived on the 9th platform and we departed saying that we would try to relocate to one compartment.
I was moving towards the train reservation chart; suddenly my eyes were distracted by a girl who was walking on the platform wearing a skirt. I was quite surprised to see a girl wearing a skirt at the railway station. She had short hairs and looked very pretty in her skirt and T-shirt. For a moment, seeing her laptop bag, I felt she must have been a HR in some big MNC. I saw her again and again while she was looking at the reservation chart. Felt so good looking at someone who was just so stunning. I must admit, by far she is the most stunning girl that I have seen till date. Later I felt a bit sad that I might not see her again. I just made up my mind that I should see her again in the train during the course of journey and boarded.
While I was looking through the window from my seat (U16 in S6 compartment), I got a call from my friend. In the middle of the call, I heard a very sweet voice ‘Excuse Me’. I just raised my head and could not believe my eyes, it was the same girl in skirt whom I had seen outside the train. I said ‘yes’. She asked me if it is ok to keep her bag on my seat as I was sitting down. I said ‘Ok’ and got down from the train to speak on the phone as it was very noisy inside. After the call, I came back to my seat and sat in front of that gorgeous girl in skirt. I could not have asked for a better seat to sit. We were seated facing each other on the right side of the S6 compartment, which had only 2 seats. I took a deep breadth and looked at her cute face again and turned my face towards the window.
For a moment I felt I was just dreaming. I started thinking how to start the conversation. I was making up my mind to not to end up spoiling my image by speaking something stupid in the beginning. So I waited waited… She got a call from her friend and she spoke a mix of English and Telugu. Oh god! She had such amazing spoken English. I don’t know why English sounds so pleasant and sweet in pretty girl’s voice.
I started off the conversation after she hanged her call…
‘Going to Hospet?’ I asked.
She said, ‘No. Bellary’.
I felt quite happy that I will be able to travel nearly 10 hours with that stunning girl. But I was thinking that she might go to bed early and I ll have to go up to sleep . To keep the conversation going I started …
So you work in Bangalore?
No. I study.
What do you study?
Electrical & Engineering in Engg College.
Oh wow! That’s nice. Seeing you @ the railway station for the first time, I felt you are a project manager (felt I was quite stupid to call someone who is so young and cute girl a PM).
She gave a gorgeous smile and asked me ‘What made u think so?’
I said ‘lappy bag’.
She smiled and said ‘Ya it is a laptop… but m not a PM...’
I also smiled feeling stupid for myself…
‘What do you do?’ She asked.
I said, ‘I am a software engineer’
She replied ‘Oh! Black and white life’
‘Why so?’ I asked
She said,’24/7 sitting in front of the comp and hitting the key board. Completely black and white life. No fun. ‘
I said ‘We do have fun. We go out for outings, movies and parties…’ But I also felt somewhat like black and white life only… we do not have fun like the way we is to have in college…
I asked her if she is interested in becoming software engineer.
She replied ‘I don’t want any black and white life… ‘
Felt a bit sad hearing her reply but just smiled to make up for that sadness.Felt that this girl is quite casual in her life…
Whatz u r future plan? I asked. Felt stupid asking this question as the question never suited the conversation that we were having.
She said, ‘I ll never get into IT field. I want to get into core E&E industry. I actually like Mech but usually no girl goes into Mech, so I choose E & E.’
By now we were quite comfortable talking to each other. She received a SMS and started laughing after reading it.
I asked ‘whatz the matter?’
She said, ‘My friend is asking me to take care while travelling and not to talk to strangers on the way.’
I smiled and said, ‘you have very caring friends… ‘
She replied, ‘Ya. I have very sweet and caring friends. My previous roommate is to wake me up by singing and playing guitar.’
She searched for the audio which her friend is to sing to wake her up, but could not find it. She said ‘Next time I will show you. The song goes like this... Wake Up Wake up…’
I just smiled looking at her cute face again.
She asked about my friends.
I said ‘I have very good friends circle in the office. I pull my friend’s leg so badly to such an extent that they are waiting for a chance to kill me.’
I started narrating one of the incidents that happened to me in my office.
‘It so happened that once my PM got pissed off with my PJs and asked all my team mates as to, who all want to kill Krishna, raise your hands?’
Everyone in the team raised their hands except one girl. I felt so happy looking at that girl.
My PM asked her ‘why don’t you want to kill him?’
She replied ‘I want to kill him by cracking worst of the worst PJs, torture him badly and kill him’. Everyone burst into laughter hearing her.
Train girl had an addictive, infectious smile. I felt like cracking some more PJs just to see her smiling. In the beginning, I had to explain her what the PJ meant and is to enact the action of tube light blinking. She is to smile looking at that action. Later, once she started understanding the PJs, she also started doing that action. It was so good watch her doing that and laughing at it… I was just completely fida over her cute smile.
She asked me if I had any friends from her place.
I said, ‘yes, there is a guy who is also traveling in the same train. We met before the train arrived and departed saying that we will try and shift to the same compartment.’
She said, ‘Ohh!!!! If you want I will go to his place and u can call him here.’
I was like oh nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why the hell did I tell her this?
I said. ‘It is quite late now. He must be sleeping by now or else he would have given me a call… ‘
She also said ‘oh ya…’
I said to myself, ‘Thanks god, she will be here till morning’
We then changed the topic to music;
She then said, ‘I like English songs so much.’
I felt, oh god!!!! I don’t understand why most of the cute girls like English songs only. I felt it was a bit tough to handle the situation as I was not that much into English music. She started playing a song from her cell phone and passed on her cell and asked me to listen to the song. ‘It’s so good’ she said.
I heard the song and could not understand the lyrics itself. I could only make out that it was a female voice. I said her, ‘lovely song… singer has an amazing voice. I always felt that English sounds very good in cute girl’s voice.’
She asked me ‘what type of music do you like? ‘
I said ‘Linkin Park In the end song.’ That was the only song which I had heard so many times and could remember the band name. ‘I usually listen to AR Rehman songs…’
Then the topic shifted to movies.
She asked me ‘which is the latest movie that u watched?’
I replied ‘Dark Knight, awesome movie and superb acting by the Joker.’
She said, ‘I had just started watching the movie and got bored in the beginning itself, so didn’t watch it fully. I have that movie in my laptop’. She then opened her laptop. Oh god it looked so good. Sony VAIO first lappy that I have seen till date.
She started speaking… ‘I love my laptop. I have all my friends’ pics.’ She opened her laptop and showed the list of movies that she had. She said ‘We will watch a movie once we are done with talking…’
She started showing her pics collection. She had an amazing collection of pics. Looking at the pics collection I felt that she also has a soft side which makes her much more interesting girl than I had thought. I told her that, ‘after seeing these pics my impression has changed on you.’ She just gave me a cute smile.
It was 3:00 AM and we were still chatting. Her luggage was still there on my seat. We had joined both the seats to make a single berth so that we could sit comfortably. we were seated facing opposite to each other on the same berth.
The train stopped at a station and there was a crossing…
I said, ‘come letz get down from the train…‘
We both got down from the train and started walking on the platform. It feels so good walking in the cold breeze with such a cute and stunning girl in skirt along with you. She saw a TV hanging there in the station and started jumping upwards to touch the TV. I dint know what to do…
I asked her to stop it as the people in the train are watching us only.
She then suddenly stopped and we got back to our seat in the train.
She asked ‘Are you going to sleep now?’
I got puzzled listening to her question. I could not understand the reason behind her question and I dint know what to answer her.
I said ‘M not feeling sleepy, you can sleep if you want, I ll go back to my berth’.
She said “Even m not feeling sleepy’…
Felt so nice hearing this. But she saw a small girl struggling to sleep in the same berth along with her mom. She said to that little girl to sleep in my berth where the luggage was kept. I seriously felt she is such a sweet girl. My impression on that girl changed completely. She was such a sweet, caring, cute, stunning, pretty and gorgeous… oh god! I can’t stop praising her. She truly remains my dream girl
It was 4-30 AM and I was feeling very sleepy. The train again stopped for a crossing. I wanted to have tea badly to get rid of the sleep. I asked her if she would like to have tea. She said she does not drink and she asked me also to not to drink T. I felt like giving up drinking T in my life. But I wanted 2 stay awake at any cost that night. So I had 2 have T.
I said ‘last time I ll drink T and after that I won’t.’ I seriously feel it is guy’s weakness. They are ready to give up anything when a girl says.
I got down from the train and stood in front of her and started talking to her through the window. I heard someone shouting ‘Chai Chai’. I got a cup of tea and started chatting again with her through the window.
Suddenly she asked me to turn back fast.
I asked her ‘why?’
She said ‘cute girl walking behind you… ‘
I said, ‘When there is girl like you sitting in front of me, how my eyes can get distracted towards another girl? ‘. I guess I was honest and she gave that gorgeous smile again.
I boarded the train and sat again next to her. I still could not control my sleep. I just slided a bit resting my head on the window. She realized that I was feeling sleepy. She asked me to sleep.
I said, ‘how can I sleep leaving you awake alone‘.
She started saying. ‘m feeling bad now. U r not sleeping just coz of me ‘
It was getting a bit cold.
She said ‘K, I ll also sleep’. She took out a bed sheet from her luggage and asked me if I had a bed sheet to cover myself.
I said ‘No’
She asked ‘We can share the bed sheet’.
I said ‘no no… m fine ‘. Felt a bit hesitated to say yes. But she had such pure thoughts. It was very nice and sweet concern of her. We both just sat there in the same berth with our legs stretched.
It was 5:50AM. I was thinking that her stop would come in another 30 mins. I was feeling bit sad. Thought of asking for her contact number, but my cell battery was dead and it was switched off. I was like ‘oh no!!!!….. Bad luck…’.
Her station arrived and to my surprise she asked me for my cell phone… I said no battery… she then asked me to give my number. She stored the number in her cell and said ‘I ll message u‘and got down from the train. After getting down from the train, she stood next to me near my window and smiled.
I said ‘It was a wonderful journey’
She also said ‘ Ya it was’
We shook our hands and said bye… I was really feeling so sad… I was just praying that she would have noted down my number correctly.
I had a last look at that gorgeous, cute and stunning girl in skirt. I was feeling like I was dreaming all alone till now… but it was true… it had happened…
She was truly like an angel in my dream that night.
It remains the most memorable journey that I have ever had till date…
