I was in a middle of a dream as I woke up. I had a dream of meeting one of my School teacher whose name is ‘Peter’ sir. In my dream: “He still looked the same, with same old fun and smile. He was checking on me regarding my well-being, and we both discussed about various events of our life.” In between those happy talks, I suddenly woke up.

The first thing I did was to pick up my phone and sent a text message to my very old friend ‘Venky’ asking about his well-being. ‘Venky’ used to be more in touch with ‘Peter’ sir, and I just hoped that I can find about his whereabouts. Though there is a very less-likely chance, I just hoped. Now, this is the strange thing. I then opened 'Twitter' to check on latest happenings. I was amazingly surprised when I saw “Guru Purnima” in top trending. “Guru Purnima” is a day dedicated to spiritual and academic Gurus in Hindu culture. I felt amazed to see ‘Peter’ sir in my dream on a special day dedicated to teachers, and this actually forced me to quickly create a wish in my heart i.e. "to meet him".

Glimpse of my flashback...
It was year 2000, and I was in Year 8 doing my schooling. Right from the days when Algebra was introduced in to my academics, I had struggle with Mathematics. So, it continued even that year in my mid-term exams. I was back home after writing Maths exam and told my Mom that I might fail. She asked me not to worry and then my Sister introduced me to ‘Peter’ sir who then was teaching to Year 10. It was a new beginning from there on. I went to him for tuition classes walking almost 3kms back and forth (quite common maybe). He taught me all the basics... the effort he has put in to explain me "finding factors of an Algebraic expression" has itched so deeply in my mind. The first big thing he did to me was to make Maths an easy subject and removed the fear. That year, in my final exams, I remember I scored around 80 marks (out of 100). Starting from Year 9, he started teaching us in School and I also continued my tuition classes. From then on, I never scored less than 95 in Maths.

I thought of Thanking him as part of this write-up. But doesn't it look small? especially after some special power has brought him into my dreams (maybe for a reason) on an auspicious divinely day dedicated to teachers. So, I'm making a very positive wish today - Peter Sir, I will find you and sincerely convey my thanks to you in person.

P.S. Time 10:10 AM. I am still on my bed as I end up writing this on a “Google Notes” app.]]>Sat, 17 Oct 2015 11:09:48 GMThttp://www.koyakishore.com/blogs/crickets-role-in-my-lifeCricket, it’s always connected to me since my childhood. I still remember, I was in my fifth standard when I asked my parents to allow me for playing in a nearby park named Bhagat Singh Park. They agreed to it, but that was a tough decision for my parents to make as I never stepped out of my building premises to play Cricket. Thanks to them, for giving me the freedom to play that day as it helped me to meet many of my friends later on.

Cricket is a game that connects people so easily. We can just go to the ground, sit near any cricket playing guys, and there is a high possibility that we will be offered to play along with them. And if we start playing with them once, we’ll so often hear ‘kal bhi aaja na…’. I have so many Cricket playing friends who were never related to me with schooling or college. We are just friends because of Cricket. Whenever I used to go to play Cricket or I watched a match on Television, my dad always used to ask me a question. “Does Cricket gives you food?” and I could never reply him back with a proper answer.
​
Days passed, and playing Cricket has become a rare part of my life. Though I’m connected to the game by watching few crucial matches on Television, but I stopped playing these days. Recently, I thought I would go to nearest ground from my living place in Sydney and see if I can join any guys to play. So, I went to the ground and found few guys playing. I sat bit far under the tree and was watching them play. After they had one match, to my surprise, they called me to "Join". While I was running towards them, I felt Cricket is still connecting so many unknowns. I had little bit of Cricket that day, and when I was saying good byes before leaving the ground, a guy named Ashish has asked me for my number and said we will meet again next week if possible. During my walk back to my house, I felt I found an answer to my dad’s question. So, next time, if my dad asks me “Does Cricket gives you food?” I would reply to him - Cricket never gave me food, but it gave me friends and memories.]]>Sat, 06 Dec 2014 05:08:12 GMThttp://www.koyakishore.com/blogs/true-relationshipsWith all the frustration I gathered in my life's last few years...I'm writing this small note.

I have seen people sending all the caring, loving messages to all their friends, dear ones and I felt like they are the besties. The relationships just look awesome with all those tiny little emotions. But the moment there is a fight, we forget all the good things we cherished, all the good times we had, and we behave as if there was nothing happened between us. Are we in our true-self when sending those caring messages? If yes, how can we forget them? A "Take care" message which comes out right from our bottom heart when we are together; will turn out as "I don't care" when we ignore them. How funny it is? Are we not cheating ourselves in the process of hating others?

Life is to be lived and it has to be lived with love and happyness. You will not have heartfelt happyness when you have someone to hate in your heart. A true relationship does not get its name by staying together or by complimenting each other, or by staying in touch every day, it in fact comes from the trust which says we will be together no matter what happens. Mistakes ruin relationships, but it is our thoughts which can still keep the relationship alive. Life is to be lived once, let's live it by doing best things and by keeping the best people with us forever.

If you have someone with whom you could not talk for ages, and if you want to talk to them again, then just pick up your phone and give them a ring. That is how I got back my life's two best friends few years ago.

True relationships are meant to be true forever.!!...and now, I’m ending it with a little hope.

It was lunch break and one of my friends reached me to inform “Dhoni has scored an unbeaten 148 against Pakistan”. Right from the days when I started watching cricket, I had a strong feeling that India badly needed a wicket keeper batsman to form a well structured team. So, when I heard about his 148, I was bit happier as it came out from the bat of a wicket keeper. But when I watched the way he scored his 148, it was a huge disappointment for me. Most of his cricketing shots lacked technique. I felt he is not going to be with Indian cricket team for long because of his unorthodox batting style. Few months later, it was a match against Srilanka and he had broken an all time record as a wicket keeper batsman by scoring 183. And this time when I watched his play, it triggered my dislike towards high scoring games. His batting style resembled a street player. His easy way of batting never made me feel that it was an international game. However, two years passed with his huge sixes clearing the stands. I liked few of them, and slowly I started counting the number of sixes which he had hit; assuming he will reach the top of the chart very soon. Later I turned out to be a huge fan of his sixes.

.. It was one of the days in 2007, when India lost to Bangladesh in the world cup. My eyes were almost filled with tears looking at down headed Indian team. It was 3am in the morning and all I could do was close my eyes to accept the fact. But with that defeat, I should say the entire Indian cricket has taken its new form because Dhoni was made as a captain.

His first victory... I don't think anyone had any hopes on Indian team when they left to South Africa to play the first ever International T20 world cup. But Dhoni has made his mark with inexperienced team and brought back the respect to the Indian cricket. Like many others, even I couldn't judge his leadership immediately. Around 6 months later, I was in a bus with my friend returning back from college. We were getting SMS updates about the final match played between India and Australia. Half of the bus was waiting for the final message and I received it in no time. India defeated Australia in Australia and that too in the best of 3 finals. I was very happy with the news and felt India has found a great captain. After going home, I watched highlights and during the presentation ceremony, he called Piyush Chawla, the youngest of the team, to receive the cup. That was the time I really felt he has not only got power to lead but also has great thoughts.

... From then on, I started observing him and never found the old Dhoni in him. He changed his way of slog hitting, realised the importance of he being there at the crease and improved himself as a match winner. He has a genius cricketing brain in him. India had won few great matches under his ca­­­ptaincy. Apart from cricket, the way he has given farewell to Kumble and Ganguly was highly appreciable. I enjoyed with his idea when he asked Ganguly to lead the team for last few overs of Ganguly’s cricketing career. I heard Sreesanth saying about Symond’s runout appeal: “Dhoni has told me that it is not the correct way of making someone out, so I took back my appeal”. I was moved when Dhoni accepted to recall England’s Ian Bell from dressing room when he was misjudged. His ideas, thoughts and his implementations made me proud as a cricket lover.

Dhoni finishes off in style... Entire Indian cricket fans filled their emotions in heart and punched the air when Ravi Shastri uttered those words explaining the moments of Indian World cup victory on 2nd April 2011. I thank Dhoni for all the memories and especially for fulfilling the Indian world cup dream. Though cricket is a team sport and credit goes to the entire team, the way he led the team was outstanding. Recently, when India came back from England without even winning a single game, one of my friends had told me “I still respect Dhoni, because he gave us world cup”. If I had to say anything about him, I’ll just say... Dhoni is a thoughtful cricketer which India has ever got.

]]>Mon, 09 May 2011 00:23:43 GMThttp://www.koyakishore.com/blogs/happy-mothers-dayIt was year 1991, and those were my early schooling days. I don't exactly remember whether my mom used to come to pick me up from school or I used to go by other means, but one frame that is registered in my memories is that - “after coming back from school, I used to sit on the bed and mom used to ask me what all happened in the day while removing my shoes... and I think I used to answer to all her questions happily.”

Few years later, I guess I was in Year 3 of my schooling. That day I went to medical shop to buy a sachet of cough syrup. The cost of it was 1 rupee 25 paise. I also bought a chocolate and quickly ate it before going back home. After reaching home, due to my innocence and without anyone asking me, I told my parents that “the cost mentioned on the sachet was "1.25", but the shop owner took 1.75 paisa from me.” That statement made a huge impact on my life's next one hour. My father easily understood that I was lying and asked me few questions which I didn't had answers to bluff. So he pulled out tape-recorder's wire and had hit me. I cried for long time, and then my mom took me into her hands, smiled and said “You should have kept quiet. What is the need to say when you have already eaten it??”

I was very innocent during my childhood days. But when I got aware of many things in school, I started bringing out my mom's innocence. I still remember, one day I asked her a question “Which is bigger? India or Andhra Pradesh?” and the reply was her innocent smile (maybe she thought there is a twist in the question). When we are kids, we learn from our mom, but when we grow up we make fun of her innocence. And I'm sure, at that point of time, every mom starts feeling happy as her kids are turning out to be smarter than her.

Starting from Year 6 of my schooling, I always had a trouble with Mathematics. I somehow used to manage in every exam. It was in my 8th standard, I had done with my half-yearly Maths exam and came back home with a disappointing look. My mom sensed it, and asked me “Didn't do well?” Before I could answer her, I started crying and told her “I will fail this time for sure.” She smiled and said “These are just mid-term exams. It is not a problem even though if you fail”. I got my energy back for Science :)

Till the completion of my schooling, I was always a mom's pet. I used to share most of my life's happenings with her. But when I entered college and I got exposed to outside world, I slowly changed my way. I have seen few ups and downs, but I used to share only the things which make her happy. She always know me as a winner but she doesn't know me as a loser. Day by day, I had shown a change in myself, but she managed to show the same level of love irrespective of my change. I think this is where a mom's love differs from all other's love :)

Now, after started working, I got used to work. I started eating less due to so called "time management". And slowly I got used to it. She understood it, and so everyday she stays awake till I reach home from office, and feeds me with her hand so that I will eat more. I seriously can't give the same love back to her, all I could do is make her happy. If making her happy can be defined as showing love, then I can hide many things (that upset her) to show my love. Thank you is a meaningless word if I had to use it for my mom :)

Respect women. Help Orphans. Happy mother's day to all mothers :)

]]>Sat, 09 Apr 2011 17:33:23 GMThttp://www.koyakishore.com/blogs/the-best-part-of-lifeMany years ago, a day during my childhood summer days; I was at my grandma's place. In villages, we generally see old ladies gathering at one place to spend some of their time discussing several issues. The same thing happened that day. During their discussions, I heard one of my grandma stating a line in telugu - “Intiko samasya”. It means every house owns a problem with it. I don't know what made her use that statement, and I was not enough old to analyse it. However, that line got fixed in my mind.

Years passed, I was into college life, where I got chance to meet different people. Initially, every person I met looked very happy to me. But when I got closer enough, I started hearing about problems which they were facing. At any point of time, almost every person whom I was talking to was holding a small problem with them. People, including me, used to get demotivated very often. I had no clue what was going on and how to get over. After looking at all these, slowly I got changed in the way I look at people. Now, when I meet a new person, I started to observe whether he or she has any problem. And my observation made me to re-state my grandma's statement as -”Manishiko samasya”, which means every person owns a problem.

Recently, one early morning, I went to vidyanagar to meet one guy. Unfortunately that guy didn't pick my call and I was made to wait in the bus stop for nearly two hours. During my time there, I saw an uncle who sat very close to me. He was reading newspaper and was talking to other uncle. He looked very energetic with his talks. Out of every ten lines he spoke, six lines made me smile. I really enjoyed their conversation for around fifteen minutes until the other uncle left the place. After listening to him, I felt he is the happiest person. Few minutes passed, the same uncle looked at me and asked about where do I work. I answered. Few more questions and answers passed between us. Later, I don't know what made him to.. but he started saying about his elder son. He told many things related to his son – his irresponsible behavior, no planning for his career, etc. He told how he and his wife were suffering every day because of their son. The same energetic uncle looked very innocent at that time. The same happiest uncle looked as a person with many problems rolling in his mind. He asked me “what should I do now??” Silence was my only answer. But when he was leaving, I told him - “Today's biggest problem will look small tomorrow.” I didn't had any hope for that uncle while making that statement. But I just made it.

Though I made that line all of a sudden without any initial thinking, I feel what I stated was very true. If we are facing a problem today, the intensity of it will be higher. We search ways to overcome it. And during this search, we really grow as a person. Problems are life's default style of making you as a better person. Never regret if you have a problem. Try all the possible ways to overcome it, prove your worth, and if it still exists, believe in the fact that - “the best part of life is.. as time passes, things fade..!!”]]>Sun, 26 Dec 2010 18:31:45 GMThttp://www.koyakishore.com/blogs/twenty-ten-wonderful-times-at-the-endOn 22nd December, 9:20pm, I hurriedly started from office to lingampalli railway station as I don't wanted to miss 9:40 train. I was in time, but the train made me to wait. I was so tired that day, couldn't even reply to cell messages and felt like sleeping immediately. I have this habit of getting frustrated when something keeps me waiting. Every time, when this frustration hits me, I just go back to my past times to live the present. That day, in my thoughts, I just wondered about my wonderful times in 2010. The thought suggested me to write a blog..and it goes this way..

January 19th, at the end of the day, I joined pinku and co (this is how I write in my diary :P) at KPHB. We had been to airport for Vinush's sendoff. From airport, we started to Ravi Teja's hostel as that day was his birthday. We reached hostel after 12 without any cake. We atleast thought of having an ice cream in that cold weather. So we started walking towards the main road expecting a Kwality Wall's light near by. I still remember, during our walk, we saw two people on a motorbike coming towards us. We couldn't see any part of their face as they covered it totally to protect themselves from cold weather and they were also holding a gun. As they came even nearer, I couldn't control myself and spelled “evarra veellu.. terrorists la??”. Immediately, yash shouted “melliga bey.. police lu..”. I stood mouth opened. Wonderful time :)

March 3rd, in the afternoon, I was sleeping when I received a call from Sneha. As soon as my “Hello”, I heard “Saakiii.. humara joining date aagaya..”. For a moment, I felt “huff.. the wait ended finally..”. We had a 2 minute happy talk about joining date, training location, etc. Later, I shared the news with mom showing her my joining letter. Wonderful time :)

August 13th, 11:30pm, I was feeling sleepy, and even my mom was ordering me to sleep as the next day morning I had a plan of going to village for my friend's wedding. At that very moment, I got a call from an unknown number. Though I was not interested in taking the call, I lifted it sensing it as an important call. As soon as I lifted, I got to know that it was Harsha, and I asked him “what's the matter?”. He said “I'll be there in 20 minutes, Don't sleep, I have a small work..”. In that 20minutes break, I just sat wondering what this idiot gonna say. He reached my place very soon and I got a “Come out” call as usual. When I'm getting down stairs, I could see him and I kept on asking him “what happened??”. Reached him, he said “nothing, come this way”, and he made me to walk a bit where I saw another Btech friend Vivek who came from UK all of a sudden. I was totally shocked with his visit. Within no time, I started with them to roam all the night. My sleep disappeared. It should disappear. We reached Gachibowli DLF building, and we had a hot masala dosa followed by a cup of tea. Wonderful time :)

November 5th, at around 1pm in the afternoon, I was in auto with my friend. I got a call from venky which I was expecting as that day was his birthday. He asked me “Did you like it?”. I said “What?”. He then asked me whether Vivek met me the day before. I said No. Then he said “I have sent you a black Jacket with vivek as it is winter. I asked him to give you today. I think he has forgot. Call him and ask for it”. Happy call. Wonderful Time :)

Cjay.. this is how I address my friend Chitra Jadhav. Many days ago, she once messaged me “birthday surprises are special and sweet. I feel everyone deserves a nice birthday. Happy times..”. The day before her birthday, I felt she expects a gift from me. So that will not be a surprise. So that day, I somehow managed to get a permission to leave office at 5pm, and I started to Sainikpuri with google map route running in my mind. I lost my way in old bowenpally and I could say nothing other than “Google maps cheated me”. I started trails to find my way, and to my surprise, the second person whom I have met wanted to go to same place and he asked me whether I can drop him. During our journey, I seriously felt as if God is sitting with me that day. However, I dropped him at his point and I reached her place. Called her mom. Met her. Gave her the gifts. I told her what to do :P. I started back within very less time. Stopped my bike by the side of the road. Gave a reply to Cjay's one hour back “Whats up?” message as “I was busy with work, didn't see your message”. Everything went fine. After two days, she was into a situation to reveal the truth. She said “Saaki.. that day, I got a call from my mom as soon as you called her. Hmmm.. But the 2nd gift was a real surprise”. I stood speechless. Kept on smiling by imagining her thought process when she read my reply that day. Wonderful time :). I felt innocent aunt did not trust me :P, or else it would not have been my wonderful time :)

There are many more wonderful times to describe. My first salary, my first birthday treat, receiving sachin autograph logo T-Shirt from yash's mom,'Hello Hug' exchanges with Ramki after 7 years, cellphone gift to my sister on Rakhi, small gift from my new friend, 5 friends telephonic conference, Harry's visit, with pinku @airport.. and at the end, the time when I got a thought of putting down my wonderful times of twenty ten is also a wonderful time :)

]]>Sat, 27 Nov 2010 18:30:25 GMThttp://www.koyakishore.com/blogs/happyness-is-everywhereFew months ago, on a fine moody day, one question stroked my mind. “What makes a person to be happy very often?” Unlike other questions, this question even started traveling in my mind as I couldn't satisfy myself with an answer initially. I triggered my search for an answer..

A kid back home from school. He need to complete his homework, but he saw his friends playing. His heart says “go and play”, his mom says “play after work”. According to Disappointing Act, any kid need to follow his mom, so he concentrates on his work maintaining the same sad look through out his working time. But the moment he is done with his work, he feels very happy and even forgets his time. Happiness indescribable.

Recently, I had a visit to a temple with my friends where we met a kid who was selling water bottles. The kid sat with us requesting to buy one bottle. We asked him how much do you get for one bottle. He replied '1 rupee'. Anyways, we didn't buy and he left us. After sometime, the kid ran towards us holding a 20 rupee note in his hand with a million dollar smile on his face. In fact, he didn't run towards us but his intention was to show that he finally sold out one which fetches him one rupee profit. An indescribable one rupee Happiness.

I questioned myself, how they are able to absorb happiness from little things? And why are we not? Because as we grow, we ignore the word 'little'. We start feeling the air of tensions. Comparisons begin. We don't get satisfied easily. We care ego. High expectations. And the list goes on. All these attributes play a key role in strengthening a person. But they also become very handy in killing happiness.

A person gets good rank in an examination. But he is not happy because someone else got better rank than him. The value of his good rank is nowhere existing because of his ego. In my sense, Ego should be expressed when a person has chance to show his abilities, but not after the result. If latter is the case, then no doubt ego is a happiness killer.

Recently, after entering into TCS, I saw many people wishing for a project allocation very soon. After project allocation, they need PC immediately. Later, they need work. In the end, they may not like the work. I doubt when actually a person gets satisfied with the things. I asked the same to one of my friend, the reply was “why should I get compromised in every step?” A very valid reply, Right? But I can just say “life is not a promissory note..”. You need to compromise sometimes. If you want satisfaction in every thing, no doubt it is a happiness killer.

An expectation to certain level is always good and I feel that as confidence. But over expectations are the source for disappointments and that in turn kills happiness.

When I joined Btech, I just felt, a good job will keep me happy. Now I got a job, I'm happy. But when someone talks about cracking CAT, when someone talks about GMAT, when someone talks about onsite, I feel there are many other great things than job. It is true. But what about my job happiness?? Very simple, my comparisons locked my happiness. I couldn't find any happiness in my job until I read the quote.. “Never compare yourself to others.. you never know what their journey is all about..”. It is so true for a person like me :). What I mean is never plan your growth by comparing with others. “You grow in your own unique way”.

Most of us hold above pointed attributes. Try not to give a chance to these things to control your happiness. Let's see what life has planned for you. Remember, happyness should not be the end, it should accompany you through out your journey. Enjoy the tiny precious happy moments which life shoots at you. There are many little incidents which we generally ignore. Happyness is everywhere, it should be there in your eyes to see it, to feel, and to cherish. Laugh out loud. Plan surprises. Love your relations. Celebrate someone's victory. Use facebook :P. Oh.. I'm getting emotional. I think I should end now..!!

P.S: I couldn't find a common name to ego, satisfaction, expectations, comparisons, etc. So I just named them as attributes ;)
]]>Fri, 01 Oct 2010 17:27:16 GMThttp://www.koyakishore.com/blogs/a-night-journey-to-my-placeThree weeks ago, we were working on a project's pre-release task and I was asked to stay in office till 3am. Though they didn't force me. I agreed because I was Excited to stay late night. My actual plan was to stay till 4, later I thought of boarding train at 5am in lingampally. Work started in the evening at around 6pm. And it went on fine. I sat observing the whole work. Unfortunately, we faced a problem with system's disk space and our work got stopped. We tried in 3 different machines and nothing worked for us. I unlocked my cell phone and looked at time. It was 1am. And Sridhar wants to go home as he need to come early in the morning to solve the issue with project manager.

I don't know what to do and I even couldn't ask sridhar to drop me as he need to travel 30km to his place. Anyways, I stepped out of the campus at around 2am. Asusual I reached nearby bus stop. I know that there will not be any buses at that time, but I don't know where to start. So I opted bus stop. Luckily, I saw a guy coming on bike. I asked him for lift and thank God he stopped. He said “Ok” when I asked him to drop me at lingampally. I didn't spoke much with him. Had a silent journey.

Got down at lingampally. I started asking for lift again. For some part of time, no one stopped. Atlast, God answered my patience. Infact I have nothing to do other than maintaining patience. One guy stopped for me. I told him that I need to goto miyapur. He said “I'll go till R.S Brothers”. Hmmm I don't know where it is but I acted as if I knew it and said Ok. It took just 3 minutes to reach RS Brothers and I felt to myself “Hmmm it is damn near”. I wished him Goodnight and started staring at vehicles.

After few minutes, I requested a car to stop. And to my surprise, it stopped. I repeated the lines “I need to goto miyapur”. That man replied “I can drop you in next stop”. I accepted :-P. Had a short talk with him about my night stay. And I got down in no time. I started requesting again. After sometime, another car stopped for me though I didn't request for lift. I was shocked and bent myself to talk through window. When I was about to start speaking, he asked me in hindi how to goto kondapur. For a moment, I smiled and replied him that you should take a right turn near talky town. He looked confused, and as anyways I need help, so I told him “I'll show you where to take that right turn if you can give me lift”. He hesitated. Then I said showing my ID card “I work in TCS”. Remember, all this conversation was in hindi. God knows how I managed Hindi tenses. Lolz. He accepted me to get in looking at my ID card. As soon as I sat in, he started talking in English. Oops,, I felt “poor guy might have got irritated with my hindi”. He told that he works in mindspace. Had a nice and short experience with him. He sounded very different. When I wished him Goodnight, he replied back “hope we'll meet again one day”. Interesting guy.

I started requesting again. And this time, a bullet bike stopped for me. He is a mahindra satyam's employee. I came to know by looking at his tag. He accompanied me (or vice versa) till Miyapur. Had talks related to my delay and project clients. When I said thankyou, he said “no one gives you lift at this time. I don't know how you reach your place. Takecare”. I just smiled. Whatelse I can do??

From lingampally to miyapur, I came by four different vehicles. And I wondered myself how many more vehicles I'm going to stop. But luckily, one uncle droppped me till kukatpally on bike. He looked aged (infact he is) and so he didn't show any interest to speak. I just told him what made me to stay till latenight. I reached kukatpally very soon as it is traffic free time.

In kukatpally, auto stopped for me. Auto was going till Balanagar. He demanded 30rupees. Anything is Ok at that time. Right? So I boarded. I got down at Balanagar. Went to Cafe which runs 24*7 (through back door.. lolz). Had a cup of tea and started walking to my home. When my home is 500feet away, I saw four dogs. Huff.. that was the only moment I got scared. I felt bad because I got scared after reaching my place.

However, I reached at around 3:45am. Looked at the mirror as I generally do. And I felt as if I had a thrilling night journey to my place. I strictly don't want this to happen again.

P.S: I thought of writing this immediately, but I couldn't make it in time. Anyways I believe in Better late than never :P.
]]>Sat, 25 Sep 2010 17:24:45 GMThttp://www.koyakishore.com/blogs/i-luv-to-stay-busyI'm in office, leaned back in my seat.. waiting for files to get copied from australia's network to ours.. eye lashes trying to meet.. but I forcibly pulled them apart and looked at my desk board's quotation "keep smiling.. the next minute will be yours". Suddenly I got an idea to write a blog, but I couldn't access any sites. So I Pressed "Start + R", and then typed "notepad" to start scribbling. I was struggling how to start, but finally decided to start writing the way I started writing.

Now let me start describing my day.
Note: Whereever I use Today in the context, it reflects both 24th and 25th september. You'll definitely understand the reason for this. If not, refer "P.S".

Everyday I usually getup at around 7am and I'll order my mom for hot water. But today I was bit lazy, and I got up at 8:30am. So I delayed ordering my mom. It delayed hot water processing. In fact, it delayed everything. I reached office at around 11:15am wondering what I'm going to say Sridhar (the person I was assigned to) about my delay. Luckily, he didn't ask me anything as he was very busy and I started acting as if I'm working on a task. Sometime later, he turned to me and asked- "what about yesterday's windows services issue??" I replied him- "Oh. I thought it got solved. isn't it?". He said "No" and asked me to search a solution for that. I started googling. Somehow, after surfing many sites, I got 3 solutions. One solution solved my case, and I informed him. This was the first time ever I gave a valid response to Sridhar's request. May be because of that reason, he said to one of our colleague- "See, even my junior started solving issues..". And I gave an obvious proud smile.

By that time, I was bit hungry and started to cafeteria to have my lunch. It was raining out heavily, and everyone was waiting for it to stop. After 15 minutes, it stopped, and almost everyone rushed to cafeteria at the sametime. That didn't allow me to eat happily. So I just had a paneer masala sandwich with few of my friends. Back to desk after few minutes. I was given some tasks and was working on them. Parallelly I was googling for our present project issues as it's release is planned in two days.

At times, Sridhar used to come on weekends, and everytime when I asked him a question "Do I need to come??", he used to say "pandaga chesko boss, Don't come". But to my surprise, he asked me to come tomorrow. I was speechless because I have gettogether planned for pranavi's birthday. I told him "I can't come, and though if I can come, I'll leave at 1pm". I couldn't read anything from his expressions, but anyways he asked me to come very early as installations going to start at around 4 or 5 am. By the way, I didn't say you on what tool I'm working. It is Installshield which deals with setup file creations and installations. So he wanted me to stay when installations are being processed.

In the evening, we had a team dinner at swagath hotel. Few members of the team were busy with bugs as project is scheduled to release, and Sridhar was one of them. So he asked me to attend the dinner on behalf of him. Lollzz.. :D. Dinner went on fine. I attended some around 10 calls during my eating process and I met two of my friends to receive a packet which has to be transferred to UK via Venky as he is leaving today. Everything well planned. Back to office after dinner.I was waiting for files to get copied from Australia's network to prepare a setup file.

Meanwhile, I went out to meet varsha as she is done with her job for today. Explained her about my whole day schedule. Talked to her for sometime, she boarded cab and I ran back to my desk to check whether the files are copied. Not done yet. The first para of this blog comes into picture now. So I started writing this blog, parallelly eyeing at few other things. Suddenly my cellphone's reminder reminded me off pranavi's birthday. Shame on my part. I felt as if I turned blogolic. lollz.. Called her and wished her. And I continued with notepad scribbling.

After completing this blog, I'll start with my setup creation as the files are ready. Later, venky will pick me up here itself. I'll goto airport to give sendoff. Later, as promised to Sridhar, I'll come to office as early as possible. Later, in the afternoon, I'll attend Pranavi's birthday. Later, in the evening, I may come back to office to work with my setup creation. So many "Later"s planned before. Huff.. damn busy.. right?? I don't know why, but I always love to stay busy. It keeps me happy.

P.S: I started this blog on 24th september at 11:45pm and it got ended at 25th september at 2am. So I couldn't differentiate both days and I used "today" to represent both. Warm birthday wishes to my friend Pranavi :)]]>
