From DA-IICT to DAKC

So much has happened in the last few months. I finally got the joining date but the bad thing is that they informed just 4 days before the date. We went from Hyderabad to Mumbai by bus. Some of my friends told that it would be difficult to go by bus, but it turned out to be an awesome journey. Not everything goes well as I always end up....I got the guest-house booked from 22nd but I wud land in Mumbai on 21st. I called the HR but she told she cud'nt help out. But God beat Murphy this time and showed some mercy. The guest-house ppl shifted my schedule a day before. It was Heaven-on-Earth experience for 15 days. Everything including the window-view is too good. ------------------- After 15 days, we shifted to a 1BHK(1 Bedroom, 1 Hall, 1 Kitchen) flat and its not that bad. we cud'nt find a small mirror in near-by shops and so we had to do some weird stunts for shaving :)) Arun followed Arjuna style for shaving. He poured water on bath-room floor and used that reflection. I blindl

God is gr8 :)

Some times even Murphy gets tired...and in those rare situations, I end up excited with the things that are in store for me. Those of you who still dont know, I got selected in Reliance!!!! Waiting for the offer letter now. Recently I came to Hyderabad to meet some of my friends. And I called one of my friends in order to plan when to meet her. Somehow theres a cross connection and another girl answered the call and the conversation went on something like this: She: Hello Me: Hi, what r u doing? She: I am busy now...in office right now Me: OK can u call me in the evening today or tomorrow? She: OK Me: So where can we meet? She: Who is this? Me: I'm Satish She: Who is Satish? Me: r u XXX? She: no Me: oh..sorry Now dont think I'm bluffing....I really am not. This happened yesterday morning.

The good, the bad and the ugly (abt placements)

It wud seem rather funny to read abt placements and interviews in this month of september....but wid ppl like me, these kinda situations are quite common. But whats uncommon is the way I mess wid these situations as well. I applied for companies in elitmus. Waited long for jobs. Somehow my lappy and luggage were left with relatives and I got back home after attending a couple of marriages (one in hyd and another in vja) on the same day. Now I thought of attending adiance and reliance in coll and booked tickets. After I landed here in DA-IICT, I chk my mails only to see tht one company called for interview and the deadline for accepting it expired just the previous day!!! ---------------------------------------------------- I attended Adiance and they dint call for the interview after having a face to face talk, couple of questions and viewing my resume. These are the only factors they consider to shortlist for the interview and no written test. -----------------------------------------

From DA-IICT

Hello ppl.. I thought coming back to DA-IICT will not be tht bad....after all I'm coming for a couple of weeks to attend a couple of companies I thought. But it turned out to be worse...no no...the worst one!!! Yes. Nostalgia strikes very hard when u come back to coll wid very few/none of ur frnds around u this time. While leaving DA-IICT after my final sem presentation, though I was sad, what made me feel good is that I'm going back home....after I came home I had good time roaming around and visiting all my relatives. But now, back in DA-IICT, when I stare at rooms where my frnds once lived, it hurts when I remember "those days". And the worst part is when I pass C-302...the room full of fun and joy...full of friends...cant help but remember all those memorable days. And when I enter the corridor, sometimes I forget the fact tht I am now staying in C-306 and go past a few rooms only to realize tht I am no longer staying in C-302. Most of the places remind me tht &q

Motorcycle Diaries

Loooong loooong ago...I used to blog :P well during the break (donno when its gonna end), I've decided to go with my dad to my grandparents place on the bike. I was told to go by bus as it was mid summer and this time the temperatures shot up above 45 degrees. But still, I thought it will be just a matter of 1:30 hrs. But it turned out to be one of the disasters. Not in the sense that we met with a road-accident, but with fate ofcourse. My dad dint listen to me when I said tht we cud fill up a few ltrs of petrol. He said the tank holds enough petrol to take us to the destination. In the mid way, we went to a relatives house and had lunch there itself. oh my...my expectation of 1:30 hrs journey turned out to be a dumb one there itself. Now guess what? Not even 20 mins passed by after leaving tht place, the bike stopped. The reason...the petrol got evaporated due to the hot sun :o :o :o I had to go some 4 kms to the nearest petrol dealer ( the pan-shop in the nearby village). Somehow

One pleasant morning

******ONE PLEASANT MORNING****** I went out to meet my friends at the juice stall(our fav. meeting place). Asusual, we chatted for about half an hour and then when we were about to get back, one pretty gal passed tht way. So cute she was, I asked myself this is no dream. right?? As she went on her scooty, I cud'nt see her for even a minute. As she is passing by, blinding white light came upon. (The same was M.S explains his ad concept to venky in Vasu) All the while when seeing her, I could hear a song playing in the background. Even after that scene, the song was still playing so clearly. But from where????? And in the mean while, one of my friends started tapping me. I woke up rubbing my eyes, and Raghu was trying to wake me up. And ofcourse, the song is coming from the PC speakers. Damn! I shud have realized...from where else can it be heard? Actually that was a slow song with quite good music. The songs these days come up with nasty beats and crazy lyrics...takes u days...no no

Another lousy post

DISCLAIMER: Anyone who wishes to waste their time reading a pointless post are welcome here. All the rest, I believe u've got better things to do :) I opened blogger. After logging in, I opened new post...I sit for 30 mins thinking about many topics but none seems to be either creative or interesting. After reading my past posts, my friends ask me to update more frequently....atleast frequently. But I'm afraid...I may literally end up with a post which seems like the movie the director comes up with at the film festival in the latest Mr.Bean movie.(Those of you who still dint watch it, can give a try :) ) Now about this movie Mr. Bean on a holiday, It literally shows the way Murphy's laws effect your life. Yesterday, we went out to eat at Sardar...and lemme tell u, by any chance u start off to a restaurant without confirming if it will be open or not, you will find tht it is CLOSE. And if you were on road, the empty autos go on the other side of the divider. When you someho

Back after quite some time

Finally, after more than a months time, I won over my laziness and started off. With a few experiences, after a trip in the starting of march, I thought of writing a blog on it. Heres what I saved as a draft a week later when I came back. "Last Thursday early morning we went on a trip and covered Gir, Diu, Somnath, Dwaraka, Nageswar and Bet Dwaraka. On the whole the trip is a memorable one. The lions in Gir interpretation zone, The Diu fort in night lights, Diu beach, Somnath temple were the most beautiful sights I was able to cover during the trip".... This trip was totally unexpected. I felt that this would give me some relief from my routine life. It did give some relief :) And I also thought of writing about my very first temporary job in the infocity. That was one of the worst ever companies(if it deserves to be called so) I came across. Even after going regularly for 2 months, I got only half of the first months salary till now!!! Think that explains the elite situation

I've been tagged !! episode-2

Mohan tagged me to write about the '7' series Seven things I wish to do before I die: 1. Make my parents happy about me in every aspect. Till I came to DA-IICT, I was able to accomplish this...but sadly after I came here, my star turned upside down. So I wish to set it upright to see the happiness in their faces again. Settling with a good job would help fulfilling this wish. 2. Travel in Garuda Express once. Though seems silly, this wish still remained unfulfilled 3. Ride on pulsar or a similar high end bike from my home to my grandparents home on an average speed of 100 kmph. I love speed. Thats it. 4. Meet my grandparents(paternal and maternal), uncles, aunts, cousins at a time and spend the time the same way as before.... 5. Watch a good movie with all my relatives. Though seems very easy, this is very difficult!! The last movie saw with my relatives(ammamma, nayanamma la tho saha) is "Muddula Mogudu" of Balayya. aa debba tho malli cinema ki rammante chethulettes

I've been tagged !!

I've been tagged by Abhay. This tag is about the most embarrassing moment(s) in your life. I have only a few funny ones........here they go. This incident took place years back.... My cousin(hardly 8 yrs old) and me(2 years younger) went to uncles house with our parents.... While all r inside the house, I felt bored and came to the gate of the house. Few meters away, some stray dogs were fighting. After some time, somehow they all left.....except one. It slept at the same place. I noticed that it had a white patch on its back. So innocent I was, I thought that this dog could be tamed!!! coz I donno the difference between a Pomeranian and a stray dog. I went to it and slowly touched the white patch. The dog took my hand in its mouth (luckily it dint bite me) and then left as it was scared. I was more puzzled than scared. While this all happened, my cousin was watching me silently from the gate. Having seen such hilarious scene, he started laughing heavily. I dint realize the reason

The last sem - some facts

One cold night @ DA-IICT Mr. G: Arey I wanna eat ice-cream Mr. R: U should fulfill such wishes asap. Otherwise, u will become a ghost and haunts for the Icecream :P The meaning of Loose Control!! So simple...loose control over ur life :P Donno what to do since u wake up...spend the time thinking of how to use it preciously...and then go to sleep. If not feeling sleepy, then open orkut...keep refreshing the home page every minute only to know that no one is bothered to scrap u. Sign in to messenger and wait for hours again to find that ur buddy list is busy with respective schedules. But to restrict u, freedom updated version disconnects every hour...with number verification and also only a few hours at a time for chatting. On top of all, to interrupt these beautiful ideas, DA-IICT plans powercut which lasts 7 full hours!!! Still left with time?? watch movies in loop. Listen to songs with shuffle and repeat on. Voice-chat with ppl frm same or next wings.....to ask the same old routine q

The last sem @ DA-IICT :) :(

The loooooong awaited final sem has finally arrived. No lectures..no labs....24/7 bewarse. Things to do: Prepare for GATE, Meet prof., Start writing the project literature But the daily routine is nowhere near this. Playing shuttle, basketball and cards, watching movies is the daily routine these days. Of course, chatting and browsing are always on the list. Dont know how everyone feels when leaving DA-IICT. 4 years of B-Tech will be over in few more months but the memories I had in these 4 years will be unforgettable. ......(to be continued)

Done wid the exams in B-Tech :)

I thought of writing this post long back in december just after the exams are over...and also 1 week back but my lappy crashed!!! well at last here it is Asusual we played day night matches for all exams...for one of the exams, Tarak was taking a tutorial. Till then, Dharma also studied and then slept. During this tutorial, the snore of Dharma dominated Tarak's voice... we started laughing at our fate. Also during one of the electives exam, malpractices went to such an extent that one person contacted the other through mobile :)) and then one wrote answers on the question paper and passed it on. Overall, the exam results were a blast. The ones who were expected to give good grades gave D's and F's. And for those who failed for the first time, this was a very bad stroke as this time there will be no reexam. Worst thing is some of these people already made it to the IIMs and got projects at different universities. The talks and mails with administration turned out to be waste
