What the hell is this "SecuLariSm" ?!


"Secularism" - the term which has been getting coined and redefined by the politicians and bureaucrats these days make us to google the crux meaning of the word. It has been actually defined by the British writer George Holyoake in 1851. He has stated it as "Secularism is the belief that government or other entities should exist separately from religion and/or religious beliefs."
And of course, this secularism plays a core role in framing the wise governance in the huge democratic land like India which has vast religions and numerous beliefs. Government is supposed to use this weapon with keen projection. But what is happening here?
Do the people in saffron or hats over head or Christ in the chest are all vouchsafed here with equal priorities and privileges? I really don't think so.
Whenever you find a local riot in your place which might not necessarily be a religious one and if you were accidentally found nearby with a saffron indication anywhere in your attire, you would be alleged to be a cause for that and will be arrested with no discrimination.
Whenever you find a gunfire or bomb blast at a social place and if you were again accidentally there with a hat on your head with a beard, you would again be alleged and arrested as a terrorist with no discrimination again.
This is how Democracy is being defined these days !
Denial to these happenings would merely be an absurd. And this is what is said to be a secular treatment by the government of India for the past few decades. Undoubtedly, these horrible causes of those lawless flawful, misconceptive actions then become sources for those many new anti-govt and terrorist groups across all parts of the country which mainly focus in disturbing the life of a common man. Again they show their retaliation by means of hindrances to the rest innocent people of the nation by doing some merciless attacks over them.
Various laws and acts might be gone live in upholding the status of those people belonging to the minority religions in the society but still we are not in a position to say firmly that India can safeguard the welfare of all communities of people.
Riots of Mumbai or Gujarat, Godhra Massacre and many other miseries took place in the Indian history and what is happening everyday at J&K and other north eastern states are adding bitterness to the Indian democracy and the nation's pride as well. These oracular happenings are also caused because of those so called supposedly principled religious wary leaders who stand out of their responsibilities and motivate their followers in totally an awful way.
All those governments who rule us spend most of the time in thinking on making politics with these issues rather spending time in resolving, despite the fact whether it is UPA or NDA.
Ruling Parties would keep on convincing us and opponent parties would keep on conflicting us. But none of them would step up to solve the core crusades ! Vote bank matters for the both.

Where this will end up ? Is the government only the criterion to bother this or the chary people who take the privilege of designing our government should bother about this?

Many more questions are becoming rhetoric when we start thinking of the things that are going to happen in the offing. 13/7 is the latest down front which has ditched the biggest democracy into a landmine.
Watchdog of all these consequences, so called the “media of today” is kindling the minds of people and making them ambivalent since they are not engendering the coveted facts behind the anguish causes happening in the country. Instead, they want their TRPs being competent with their counterparts. Their duty is not only to bring the things happening in the globe “as fast as possible” but “as true as possible” too. Most of the time, the latter is not being considered by them. Mere exaggeration helps them in raising their commercial TRPs. So, this might keep them away from reflecting the actualities despite the facts.
Anyways, one thing is very Lucent and transparent. Going ahead, secularism will hardly be existing in this world’s largest democracy. So, unless we turn up against this in the near future, the life of an “Aam Aadhmi” will be screwed like anything.

Despite all these things, I just wanna tell one thing to the people of India. Please never abhor our brothers and sisters on considering the mal-facts ! Developing hatred will kick us back one day in the offing for sure. So, it is better to start a renaissance in the country just like the Jan Lok-Pal against corruption.

Until, all kinds of people here walk with their own pride and prestige of their religion, India cannot be considered as a “Secular Country”.


AWAKE and ARISE please ! Its not TOO LATE.

~~DEJECTED DEMOCRACY~~


Democracy! Born some 63 years back in India seems to be in its dimishing phase these days. No one can deny this fact on seeing what happened at Ramlila Maidhan on saturday late night.
Is this the way to treat the people of a democratic land?
Is this the ethos behind the concept of democracy?
Is this the way how a government vouchsafe its people for their rights?
And many more queries pinged on my mind on watching those horrible stuffs happened at Delhi on my telly despite the exaggerations of the media.
Not some hundreds in that multitude. More than fifty thousand people were lying on the mydhan thinking of that they were contributing something for the good cause of their motherland on that occasion. It has encompassed women and children too.

Delhi city police did not even think of the fact that those people were on a hunger strike and were static and sick for a long time due to starvation. Pushing and torning out those people at late night made any sense for them? How dare they were ordered to latthi charge on them?

Baba Ramdev ! A media centric figure for the past few days. Who is this fellow? Why suddenly he grooms up for this social cause? The thing here is not whether he is a geniune in person or not? He might be politically motivated to do these ramp ups but the principle behind the ramp up seems to be quite reasonable to all the people of the country. This might led many more people to join his agitation despite his Yoga diciples.

He might be a luxurious religious leader who travels in jet flights and stays in five star hotels. And many more favours or rumours pump up to depict him.
The crux here is, if the government found him geniunely imperfect, it might have banned the allowance for this hungerstrike movement before it has created the peers. Must have forged the people and media about his approval of the place only for "Yoga preachings" before he start up.

Why all these jinxes come out too late to us? Only after the meet up of Ramdev and Sibal on saturday noon? If Baba really assured of getting back his hunger strike at 5 o clock in the evening in their meet, Kapil might have announced the same in advance that legal action would be taken against him and the supporters of his agitation if he would continue still, to the so called serpent weapon "media".

Digvijay singh ! Suddenly this fellow appeared for media and digging some crappy things about Ramdev that he himself is not a geniune and he has lots of criminal offences. We should not allow him to do these kinds of non senses in our head quraters and bla bla bla.
Mr.Dig ! We are not in a debate of deciding whether Ramdev is geniune or not? Why the hell Delhi city police behaved so rude on those innocent people that night? Make a valid answer for this debacle else "Chup karo !". No more blaberings needed from your side.

Seems Honourable Home minister Mr.Chidambaram is on summer vacation with his family. So, we are not suppose to disturb him! Have fun man !

Hello Mr.MM Singh ! Are you really there? Don't you have time to watch what is happening in your country? When you have plans of making you erect from the inclination of your government towards an Italian?

Corruptions from all sides. We are yet to digest the clever witted response from this UPA government in the last meet up with Annaji's panel for introducing a new scope to execute the Lokpal Bill in the late August.
No judicial, No Legislative, No Administrative hierarchy would be involved in the scope of the bill. More than a funny design made:) An idealogical approach from an IIT brain. Awesome Mr.Kapil Sibal. You really deserve for what you have done. It really shows that your UPA government is working hard only for the cause of "Aam Aadhmi" and for no one else. Hats off UPA.
Following this, again a Morass at Ramlila Maidhan.
Keep going. You have yet more to do.
Media these days are not at all bothering about their TRPs since UPA let them many new corruptive stories and crusades everyday.

But one thing is getting more visible to everyone. This Singh will no more be a king here soon.
Awaiting a change which atleast would have redefine the democracy !

~~Passengers Your kind attention please~~


"Passengers Your kind attention please! Train number 6101 Rameshwaram express from Chennai Egmore to Rameshwaram via Trichy will leave the platform no 8 shortly"
On hearing this announcement, I was walking on the bridge of Tambaram Railway station on a sultry monday night around 10.05 p.m. which is said to be one of the most lively place of chennai round the clock. We sometimes consider it as the Brooklyn bridge of New York.
I was never bothered with that traditional announcement which was going on, since myself have reserved in Rockfort Express which would come around 10.50 p.m.
I was actually going to trichy (supposedly srirangam, as many people might be unaware of trichy but not srirangam) to my uncle's home for a family function by taking a day off from office. Got down in the nightly crowdy station and was sitting alone in a place where my coach was alleged to arrive.

It was humid like hell even at that time and everyone was sweating like anything. Chennai is not only well known for its "Sambar" but also for its summer :( Why do only the trains are airconditioned but not the stations ?! :(

Got a bottle of coke and again continued sitting in a solitude with Jeeva who was exploring about his imminent project "ko" in chennai times. Was bit hectic in office that day and hence was bit dolorous too.

It was almost 10.50 p.m. Time would ramp up so fast when you extremely immerse your self in reading about the things happening in the living rooms of bollywood and politics despite the crusades of your own life. In a while, again heard an announcement like "Passengers Your kind attention please! Train number 6177, Rockfort express from chennai egmore to Tiruchirappalli via vizhupuram will arive in platform number 8 shortly". And it did as announced.

It was really a pleasure to watch the train entering into the platform which I love to do from my childhood days :)

The wheels have stopped making noise and I was looking for coach no s8 and got into it. Found 55 which was luckily a side-lower this time where I love to sleep with.
Train started moving and nobody has arrived to 56 yet.

I was partially lying down and watching outside from the window with half-opened eyes while train has started to move. Suddenly, a gorgeous girl came running alone along with the moving shops into my windowscape and seemed she was gonna get into my compartment and she did in fact!!

Believe me guys, the runner came near me and was looking for 56! She got it and sat in front of me with a huge trolley in between.
It really pained hard when I pinched the flesh on my left hand. Acknowledgment of illusion didn't work. So, I felt like "it is happening for you only goose!! LIFE WON't SCREW YOU ALL THE TIME! ;) ".

I wanted to refute with my granny when this chubby beat has thrown a gaze at me. Yep, my granny has told me many fairy stories while feeding me when i was a kiddo on which they were dressed in a white attire with a wand on their palm. But today she wasn't like that. The dairy like fairy sitting in front of my eye balls with hazel eyes was on a black salwar with a pale blue jean. A tiny blackish so called handbag was there in her hand but not the wand! Mythologies too change in time it seems ;)

She was settled with her luggages and was blinking like a Tom looking for a cheese left by a jerry;)

Don't worry guys, I am not gonna tell about "Jessy" or "Meghna"or "Geet Dhillon" kind of girl here. So, lock your "whatever" imaginations you have before you proceed reading ahead!

You know what? Millions of times you would think to find a single way to fix a bug in a code. But, when you have lucent girl in front, you would get millions of ways to approach but not even a single time to start with ;) crazy truth again :)

When these million thoughts and starters were running all over my mind, I was locking and unlocking my mobile keypad and checking whether it was working properly. Yes, it was. I am basically a developer, but she made me to try testing too ;)

Suddenly she has thrown one more gaze and asked me like "Excuse me,Does SMS cost for you?"
My heart really skipped some beats for a while and I mustered courage to reply back.
"Even it was, would I say Yes for you sweety?" I muttered and told her "No" rigidly as if I was busy in doing something in my mobile and she was disturbing me.

"Actually, I was on a rush and hence could not even able to charge my mobile today and came in a haste to catch up the train. So, I have to convey my papa that I have boarded safely, else he would get ire on me and scold me tomorrow. So, can I text him to call me? So, that he would call to your phone and I can inform him that I am safely boarded. Can you please?"

"OMG! It is just happening for you man", I muttered myself!!
And thank god, she asked my mobile just for a text. I received a message like
"Your last call costs Rs. 0.20 and your balance is Rs.0.33. So, kindly recharge your prepaid. To know more offers ........." when I spoke with my dad to inform him that I was going to board, a few minutes back. My booster would allow me to send a text even with a nill balance. Thanks to Airtel again;)

I told her, "Sure. You can even make a call to him." and expected her to say a NO . Gave my mobile by opening its slider.
"Thats okay and thanks yaar" she told and texted her dad something.

Believe me guys! "Angel" is definitely an understatement if you see her hazel eyes!! Bhajju's dhoosra and Ashwin's Carrom like illusions were spinning on my spine!
I felt like "Evan de una petthan??" BGM was running over my head.....
I was really in the need of oxygen and couldn't even able to breath. Went to the door and stood for a while and came backsince my mobile was ringing.

She spoke with his dad. Not only she looks sweet but her voice too!
Kudos to the creator of this creature!

"Hi dad! VG here. I have reached the station long back and have boarded. You don't worry and take your tabs and sleep soon. You worked and roamed a lot today. So, take an off to office tomorrow and take rest...........Tell mom n DG that I will talk to them tomorrow... Bye dad.. Good night.. " She hung off and gave it back and asked me instantly, "Are you a dada's fan?"
"Yeah.." She was ingenious enough to guess this from my KKR wallpaper ;) (Might be, now I have become a warrior : )

"Your mobile looks too good yaar. I'm a fan of Sony ericsson . Even mine is w750 you know.What is yours? " she asked.
"Yari.." I said..
"Oh its cool. And this is Vandhana Gopalakrishnan. Everyone call me as VG ;) Your good name?"
"This is Gurucharan and people call me Guru.."I said as if everyone calling me so ;)
VG: So, What you doing?
I was in the same feel like karthik when Jessie's dad has asked him "what you doing?" in VTV.
After a while span, I told her,"software engineer".
VG: Great! where are you working?
Me: Wipro! So you?
When she has started to tell about her, I got a call.

Whenever I am having pleasant moments in my life, I would get a call from this fellow. Yep. Whenever I have my favourite food on the plate, he will call. Whenever I am watching my favourite movie or programme on TV, he will. Whenever I am speaking with someone I like, he will. And the list goes on.
Guess he has a bell over his head which makes some sound whenever Something good is happening in my Life ;) Yep.That "Fellow-Gentleman" is so called Mr.Nappy (aka) Naveen :)
He was asking about my ticket status and other info as if he was really bothered.. Crazy bump! Ofcourse, for what else friends are meant for ;)
Spoke with him and hung off after a while long without telling him that someone special was awaiting my response here. Managed somehow ;)

VG: I am actually doing my third year B.tech Biot at Sastra. Came here to attend my sister's engagement and going back ;)
Me: Oops! Even myself from Sastra but have passed out some two years back.
VG: OMG! This stranger is my senior! So, gonna rag me??? he he he he :):):)
She giggled as if she had made the humour of the millenium. And I did as well ;) (No other go guys ;))
Damn! She is remembering me "the Helen of Troy" when she smiled.
A Greece princess for whom thousands of soldiers and warships have been vanquished owing to her abduction! I was smiling at those people in this Greek mythology who have lost their lives for the sake of her mere eyes, when one English literate freak was telling about it to me.
But, now I feel like she might be deserved of their lost lives!

A feminine eye is worth of anything !!

In between, a short fat man so said to be the TTR of the train with a dirty black coat has come for doing his job. He was almost looking like "Castor oyl" with a burger who is the brother of "Olive oyl" casting in the "Popeye show". But, this fellow was having a pad with some lists of papers instead of a burger.

Conversation with this train camaraderie continued for more than an hour.
OMG! I am not that good in guitar to bring it with me and compose something for her.In fact, I was not worth enough to participate in any culturals held in NIT, trichy during my college days. Simply went for all culturals to cheerlead the people who were actually participating. Suryaman! You simply Rock!

This queer steering "Hasini" kind of girl has told everything about her from the childhood till the reason behind the color of dress she was wearing that day. Can tag her as a perfect chatter box and extremely kiddish too.

Best conversation of my life came to an end and I did not remember what happened later on but I have slept in a while thinking of my best train journey of my life.

In a while, "Passengers Your kind attention please! Train number 6177, Rockfort express from chennai egmore to Tiruchirappalli via vizhupuram will depart from platform number 8 shortly"
Seemed someone was telling this close to me.. As I opened my eyes, I was still sitting on the same stone bench on the platform no 8 with same smiling Jeeva in Chennai Times on my lap.

Yep.. The instance made me to realize that all those things happened when I was dreaming on the stone bench and the Rockfort express has come just now and it was in front of me but yet to start.

What else Could I do?! Before getting into the grief for VG, I got into s5 and as looking for 55 again.
I got it and laid down partially and the train started to move again. But nobody came running this time.
After a while, one girl came and got seated in front of me. And yes, it was her seat. 56.

But the thing is that this girl seemed some 50 years older than my dream girl! Might say a granny :)

"Hi dear! Can you please do me a favor?", she asked me.
"yes aunty! tell me" I told..
No charge in my mobile. I have to inform my husband. Can I please make a call from your mobile?" she said..
"Yeah sure aunty!" I told..Aunty was lucky in fact that I really had a huge balance this time.
She was not comfortable with my key pad. So, I have dialed the number and gave the phone to her.
"Hello Gopal.. I have boarded safely..Don't worry. Inform to Vijay too. I will call tomorrow morning after I reach.. " she told and hung off and gave my mobile back.

We were chatting for few more time and when I was listening to things what she was telling, I felt like I have known all these stuffs recently by some other mean.

In a while, the Burger man Like TTR with the same dirty black coat has come for checking our tickets. When she took her wallet for taking her ticket out, her mobile and her PAN card have fallen down. When I took it to give it back to her, I have noticed the name on the card as VANDHANA GOPALAKRISHNAN and her mobile which has fallen down was sony ericsson W750. And she was also in a black salwar with a pale blue jean.
I was more than astonished and got numb for a while.
I was really skeptic about the things happening in my life?! I pinched myself again, still its paining. Why all these things happening AGAIN to me? Am I mentally depressed or so?
"What happened dear? Why are you looking so weird suddenly?" she asked me.
"Nothing aunty, I am not feeling well. Going to sleep. Good night."
With no clues on my mind I went to fall asleep and don't worry guys. No announcements this time.

The next day I have called my friend Siva who is a doctor and told him all the things happened to me the previous night and he laughed after hearing the whole story.
"Idiot, why are you laughing?" I asked him.
Then only he has explained me that I was suffering from a mental ET kind of a disorder called "DEJA VU" which defines the state being aware of the things bit earlier which are likely going to happen in the offing. "Deja Vu" is a french word which means "already seen".

Yes. You would recognize this now.The same disorder by which Dr.Vijay was suffering in the movie ATM (Azhagiya Tamizh Magan), a Tamil *Blockbuster (*No fun intended).

Almost everyone must have felt this feeling which is quite common for a normal human but I might have got an extra scale.

So, Beware of Guru! A clairvoyant, would be good in predicting the things that are going to happen in your life :
Anyways, LIFE SCREWED GURU ASUSUAL :(

~~My Life at Chennai~~


"suno to zara hum ko hai ye kehna waqt hai kya tum ko pata hai naso gayi... wake up sid saare pal kahe wake up sid chal kahin chale..."

Finally I have stopped the snoozing with half-eyes open.. Yep.. My alarm keeps on buzzing aside from 5.25 a.m. Its almost 6.55 a.m. now. Asusual my plan of going for an early jog has been dropped. "Its time to wake up Guru" I said to myself and after a brush landed again on the bed with the paper .
Awaiting the most zealous moment of my day. Yep.. Sipping the coffee made by my mom. No words to describe it. She did and it has arrived it to my palm and the chanting "Haree venkatesa praseetha praseetha, priyam venkatesa prayaccha prayaccha...." got dimmed as she has reached the kitchen. The only time when my heart feels so fresh in a day.
Its 7.25 a.m. "Where do these people get guts to loot this much money? What they gonna do with these? Indian government is getting extremely polluted. Unless our administration is refreshed again, no clue about India's flourishing future.. This is what V.R.Krishna Iyer (Former CJI ) also said in an article.. Read it without fail Guru.." My dad has started a routine discussion about Indian politics which is quite common in our living room at this time. And myself too added some points to those present poor corruptive crusades and discussion jumped to comic election campaigns and suddenly I have read an article about cricket and telling him tat " its time of cricket extravanganza bapa. Team India has dethroned Aussies and all indian fans were awaiting the next exciting Indo-Pak semi's at Mohali." he was asking me back "why do you people give this much importance to mere a gaming event when the country is facing tons of debacles in many other means.? " And when I have started answering this, Mom shouted "Guru bhaiya!! its 7.50!!!" and reminded me tat its time for a bath.. Guess we used to talk more about these corruptions and campaigns rather than those parlimentary people who were actually appointed and ofcourse paid for.. In fact, my dad is one among those whammy people community who used to do R&D in each and every pages of newspaper :) :)

After a bath and instant Sandhya (daily deity prayer), have seen pulpy sets of pooris with alooo sabji (potato side dish) on my reddy plate placed on the dining table with both watery heads and tongue. What a combo! Again I did not find any words to describe it. he he :) Seems my mom has not known the meaning of word "enough".. When ever I say it, she used to place two more on my plate.. Ofcourse all Moms used to do it :) Its 8.20 a.m. now.And immediately after a hand wash, a cup of chaya (tea) has arrived and before its linger vanishes, I have dressed up and almost in a ready state to start to office. I have shouted and searched for socks by tuning for some of my favourite songs in the music channels parallely.. Guess those 24x7 music channels are keenly noticing me getting ready through satellite or so, that whenever I sit down to wear my shoes, they would play "Zorkha jatka" track from "action replay" one of my favourite videos and this coincidence used to happen daily at the same time. Thanks to 9XM,Zoom or whoever plays it:)
Its 8.35 a.m. now. My Mom asked me whether I have done with and took everything? I said a BIG YES and went out. Dad was waitning outside with the bike to drop me out and I came out and got into it. And we have started but suddenly asked him to stop and walked back and asked mom to bring my sennheiser (head phones) which is one of my perfect companion that keeps me alive whenever I feel lonely :) I have forgotten to take this one today and it would be some other thing tomorrow. To forget is human :)

Dad dropped me in the East tambaram bus stand and left back. T or C? this is what I used to look for. Yep. T51 and C51 are the two mobile metal boxes which would carry me till Sholinganallur where my work place is located. Sorry suppose to say chennai MTC buses.

Thanks to MTC to keep a single seat in driver's row at the corner where I love to sit and sometimes you would feel like driving that huge eight wheeler. That is how I convince myself, but the actual reason behind is that usually you cant find any pulling chicks inside my bus. So better to sit here itself with no hard feelings. I really dont have clue that how do those dainties residing in my place travel? Or atleast where do they go? That day too I have got into the same place in a C51 bus.

Suddenly I got a pat and heard a voice "hello sir! nethu office ku leave polarku?" (did'nt go to office yeaterday? ) some one asked me from the back and sat aside me in the specialized seating of the vehicle! "Hi ! Illa, nethu naa office ku seekrama kalambittaen. saptacha Ramesh? ena special iniku?" I asked him. (Nope. I have started earlier yesterday. Had break fast? anything special?) Yep. He is the driver of that C51 and of course has become my friend in the recent days by being seated nearby daily.
He has pushed on the gas and the bus has started moving. Sharply 8.45 a.m.I have played "Ho love of mine..with a song and a whine..You’re harsh and divine..like truths and a lie..but the tale end is not here....... Tune mere jaana.. Kabhi nahi jana.. Ishq mera dard mera.. haaye… " in my Yari (mobile). Recent intense romantic track written by an IITian about the misery of his true love which has simply touched my soul. Eerie silence has followed. Yep..Guru has fallen asleep in deep.

"Sholinganallur!! Nallur.. Nallur.." Some one knocked and cracked my dream of rescuing Anushka Sharma from slipping down when we were walking towards the Victoria Falls located on the Zambezi River between the countries of Zambia and Zimbavae shown by Bear Grylls last night in Man Vs Wild which is really a lovely place to hang out. The shouter was none other than the conductor of the vehicle who wanted the people with their dreams and creams to get down and we did it.

Its 9.20 a.m. and I have got down, walked towards my office but alone this time. The person whom I have rescued from a deadly deep has left without even saying a formal thanks :( Life is crazy yaar!! "O Ondru Kulla Ondra, En Nenjikulla NindraO Konjam Konjam Aagha, Uyir Pichi Pichi ThindraAva Oththa Wartha Sonna, Athu Minnum Minnum PonnaO Enna Solli Enna, Ava Makki Poana "
Sounds like a situation track eh? Yep. Even I thought the same. So have stopped the media player, kept my mobile inside and continued walking.

And its sharply 9.30 a.m., I have entered my ODC (Offshore Development Center) and Wished "Good morning" to people over there and specially to Ganeshji (my picturised calender on my table) and smiled at my momento quoted "YOUR CHOICES REFLECT YOUR CHARECTER" given in my project and switched on my PC with no reactions on face.

After checking some useless corporate mails and funny ones from friends, started working on CCMIP (the module I am responsible for). I was doing Unit testing for that module which has been ported by our team. I don't wanna get into too much technical on my work:) Simply I have started my work for the day.
Its 10.45 a.m. In a while, "Hi Guru! How is it going?"! Someone asked me from my back.
It was not actually a someone! My Manager Sri..
"How is it going?" It is a template question he asks everyone working over here four times a day.

Whenever he asks this, you can tell him like, "I had a huge fight with my girl friend last night and we have decided to get broken up!" or "This weekend I am planning to go to Rio with my friends in PVR cinemas" or "tomorrow is friday" or bla bla bla... he he :) I mean What ever you say, he wont bother. He feels like his job is to ask you and not to listen to you.. I said him something like that and he left after listening.

Its 10.55 a.m. "Hi Guys!! Are you people gone dumb? come on! say and laugh some thing to reveal that you are alive..dont fall into the computer monitor and break Wipro property.." some funny voice entered and its none other than Uma Shankar who is actually responsible to keep our ODC lively and active whenever people are dragging with those million lines of code.
Thanks to him for being the source of fun over there. Great work man!
Amidst fun and work, again I would get the same template question but this time in his cubicle. After telling bla bla bla, I would keep on working on it..

Its 1.12 p.m. "Lady looking like ah Cinderella Cinderella, nooding lokking like thendrella.Lady looking like ah Cinderella Cinderella, ennai vattamidum thendralla"

My mobile ringing..
"Machi Shall we?? Come to junction in sharply 5 min. Today I will have your lunch box and you should eat nellore meals.. okay va?"

Crazy fellow came into picture now! Yep its Nappy and he is damn crazy about home made foodies.. Sorry Mr.Naveen..One of my recent good pal to whom I used to disclose my personals unknowingly ;) ;) And literally, a banker for all of us! But only thing is that you need not give the money back until you need it again from him in a while ;)

"Jaldi aavo Naveen and pls don't make late" I told him and started to walk towards junction point. Since he was very poor in hindi and ofcourse tamil too.. I am teaching him at all instances where I do get chances ! So, with the hope that he would be grammatically good in both dictions atleast in the offing.
Junction point- a place where we people meet up and from where we used to walk towards cafeteria together.

Asusual, I went there late and two fellows were waiting for me with reddy faces!
One was obviously naveen and I have to mention something about the second one before I disclose his name.
This is fellow used to come to cafe with us as if he has just now arrived from the airport and kept his huge trolly in his place and coming with us just to eat.
May be he might feel like he would gonna take the charge of Mr.Suresh Senapathy (Wipro CFO)in a couple of months. And also, he used to strictly follow so called "professional ethics" in all means what we were taught in our induction training as if his leads have kept hidden cams all over and watching him how he was behaving with people outside the ODC too! The person who was meant for all the above descriptions is Mr.Shiva.. he he :)
1.25 p.m. We three mushketeers walked towards cafeteria as if we were gonna achieve something! Partially "YES" for those two..

Crowdy and noisy dining has appeared in front in the second floor and it is named "Ratna cafe" here. They both used to say that they prefer Ratna cafe for its taste. But its ultimately waste in its taste but something is behind this saying.
After entering I have found a cracky smile on both of their faces. Yes their achievement has been done asusual! They met Miss.Sharadha! Our college fairy (so called,but 'm not interested).. They used to feel like, last evening they had a meet up with her and all of them took a mutual break up and gonna be friends here after.. Yep.. Imagining themselves as Vineeth and Abbas :) he he :)Finally they came out of the long queue and got their meals and we three sat together in a table.
In a while, three more devils have departed to our table.
One among was Kango. she is famous for her traditional punches.. And everyone has to be careful while getting a pay back from her for our words ;) "Punch Kango!!!"

And the next was Raji.. Whenever we all of us sit and eat together in a table, people from outside used to think that we are having lunch with a chinese client or with a girl from northeast..That is how she looks.. Like a chinese girl. But the truth behind is that she is actually from a deep southern village of tamilnadu but looks so. Ofcourse, a perfect village kind of girl.

And the next one is also from the same village, named SV Ice. Really a cool headed girl amidst us. Can you have a lucid laughter on ur lips when the person for whom your heart really beats is gonna get married in a couple of months?! But she could and she does.. Then, obvioulsy cool headed right?! Our hearty condolence to you SV.. Sorry "Rooks".. This is how her friends used to call her when she was in US...he he :)

All these people before seeing there own plates would start looking at my SMALL lunch boxes to get openend. Mainly their eye balls used to roll towards my side dish box.. Unfortunately (may be fortunately) I brought "Bindi" (Lady's finger) that day and it was found by them before I came to know..

Shiva has filled up the table with his traditional PJs :) Food and fun in the same table we had:) Only time in office you would forget about the stress, pressure or whatsoever you have in the cubicle is when you have lunch with your pals..
Common skeptic question we used to ask ourselves in the cafeteria when we look up from from foodies is that "Where do these gorgeous gees come from? Do they really work in wipro? Or somewhere else and coming to our cafeteria only to eat?Neither of our ODCs have these bees :(:(:( But still how come these????" And we did not get the answer for this yet :(
Its 2.15 p.m. We were done with what for we have come here and started walking back to our respective ODCs on a merciless sunny summer noon.
Its 2.25 p.m.I have entered mine and walked towards my PC..
"Boss!! Whats up with your UCF yesterday? Did my pen work out there?" a voice came some forty five degree inclination from my cubicle! (UCF- our useless official competency exam.. Have to cross 70 to pass within "n" number of attempts;)
Yep.. Its none other than our Captainji! Mr.Logs! Who used to lead our cricket team to "super over" losses every weekends with those poor opponents;)
"Yep! your pen has worked something out and made my score 58 :(:( Tons of thanks for your greatest favour! keep your pen safe.." I replied him back..
"Say cheers man! Even I got same 58 with this pen!!!" he said and we both laughed with no intention behind :)
He is such a funny fellow and belongs to that kind of "Sachinism" community whom even wont bother a call for date from his girl friend, if sachin is padded live on the field.

And 'm back to work and working.. working and working :(:(
You know what is the hardest thing in the world? Working after Lunch! God save us please!

Its 3.55 p.m. Its time for Sri and he did his job again and I have paid him back with something which did not bother asusual..

Its 4.45 p.m."Lady looking like ah Cinderella Cinderella, nooding lokking like thendrella.Lady looking like ah Cinderella Cinderella, ennai vattamidum thendralla"
This time its my mom. "Hey Guru bhaiya! Had lunch in time? Met your friends?How is work going? Whats up Sri? When you will be coming to home today?" I answered for everything and spoke with her for a while and again got into my work:(

Mothers are the only people down to earth that, whenever they feel hungry, would start worrying about the appetite of their kids rather than worrying about their own! Crazy truth of Life:)

My mom/dad/sister or some old friends accidentally call and at max I used to get hardly two to three calls a day. Rest of the calls and messages would be from Airtel Customer care.. I am lazy enough to activate that "Do not disturb from my mobile" So, these people used to think that I am speaking and texting my girl friend often. And even if I say "NO", they would not bother and keep on teasing me.. OMG! Save Guru please!
Again I was keep on working:(

Its 5.15 p.m. "Hello boss! Shall we?" I got a message in my IP messenger. (Local communicator)Its Sundar, who is my all time companion in my ODC. We used to go out for breaks or wherever from the very first day I have joined this project.. He would look like an extremely calm fellow and once you start mingling with him, you would come to know his actual scale of calmness ;) ;) His mobile used to ping him every ten minutes and till today I really don't have any clue to whom he is talking to ;) ;)

"Sure! Let's go.." I replied him. Its our C-V break time.. (Chaya-Vada) We went out and had the greatest snack of south india so called "Vada" with a nameless lingering side dish.. It was bit rainy that day and it was absolutely amazing to have hot vada at that skyline and breeze.. Kudos to that master who made it and only if you come at this time, you would get this fantastic combo snack as if he is preparing for our sake:)
After having it we went to cafeteria and ordered two chayas to our odiya chaya maker to whom I used to blabber something in broken hindi and he would reply me back something which I don't even get anything. We did the same thing that day too..
He gave us two cups of hot tea with superlative taste and we had it by watching highlights of England Vs Netherland WC cricket match.

Its 5.45 p.m.We were back to work again.. "En kadhalae.En Kadhalae..Ennai enna seyya pogirai??" Crazy Uma shankar got some speakers with him and started playing some love-weary songs..And the real intention behind it was he wanted us to ask him that who has broken his heart today? he he :) but We did not and he wont stop playing and singing those till we do it. Finally he himself would tell his love story of that day to everyone. Every day he used to tell many new ones. You have a great future in script writing UmaS! Just try in Cine industry for a far better career;)

And its 7.10 p.m. now. Felt like tired of working and went to Sri's place to update the status and it was the time when he properly listen to the status what we people say! Yes! Fourth time of the day :)

I told him like today I made some four test cases "PASS" Sri.. He felt like hugging me and threw a childish smile towards me as if he has got a call from his ex-girlfriend to whom he has broken up in college days. And after updating everything I came back to my place and said bye for the day to those who were statying over there..

Its 7.35 p.m. I have left for the day and walked towards the Sholinganalur bus stop and reached the place. This time I could not even get a place to be seated in a MTC bus. I have found dozens of people travelling in just last step of the bus as if they were flying on wheels. Even If I were the only fellow to stand in a bus too, I wont prefer to travel in it. And it is the worst case now! How could I?In fact,I was lazy and tired too. So obviously dropped my plan of opting for a MTC carrier asusual.

Its 7.45. p.m."Tambrein..Tambrein..Tambrein" one fellow was shouting near me and ofcourse he has found out that I am gonna opt for his vehicle only, from my face as if it has been written on my forehead. I did as he thought and got into it. The vehicle is so called Share Auto (an expanded auto like vehicle which carries various people on its way and drop them in their respective places).

By sitting in it, I have seen people crossing me in bikes and laughed at them.

"Don't they really feel bored of carrying the same girl everyday?" he he :) Share auto stands here!!! And these drivers won't let you travel with the same girl every day.. he he :)

Auto was completely filled up and the driver made it moving.I have played my media player again and we felt like we were treking on northern Alps in a "Mountain traveller" till we reach Meadavakkam (a place on my way back). So many ups and downs on it way as if people used to say we would face it in our entire life :)
Thanks to the government of Tamil nadu that atleast the road looked smoother later on and we were back to feel like we have landed safely from the hills:)

Its 8.15 p.m. now. "Stop it in the left anna..I have to get down" I told the driver and got down in my stop and walked towards my home along with those downy people in my street who were also seemed that they were back from work.
And my dad was standing near the gate and asked me "Why dear? this much late today?" as if I am coming earlier everyday ;) "Had some work bapa.. Thats y :( "..Had a chat with him outside for sometime and got into home..

Its 8.45 p.m."Good performance Santhosh! Amazing.. Work on your lower notes and it would be even better next time.. All the best!!" Unni krishnan (Classical singer) was praising the contestant Santhosh in Airtel Super Singer Season 3 which was telecasted on the Television. (A good Music show which we all used to watch everyday).. Mom was watching and I was teasing her for fun for a while and went in to take my bath..

When I was back, it was Rottis and Dhal on the dining and I had it before changing into my night attire:) Had a cup of milk too..

Then was watching TV for some more time and Its 9.30 p.m. now..Took my lap and checked all the likes,friend requests of those old friends and funny updates to my pics and comments on FB for sometime.. Chatting with those overseas buddies and its 10.20 p.m. now..Mom and Dad were almost slept. My eye lids were meeting up persistently and reminding me that its time to sign off for the day.. So I have sighned off from FB too and walked towards my bed..

And noticed the date on the calender on my way that it was 22nd March 2011..The same day last year I have stepped out of my home to start my career journey in my life. And I could'nt believe that Its one year since then today! Yep I used to note the date only at nights before I sign off for the day.. "You are getting older guru!" I tapped myself and walked again..I was finally down for the day!!

This is all about the things that happen in a week day of My Life at Chennai!!

Thanks for bearingt it while reading guys:)

~~Time to cheer for celebrating one year of Wipro life~~


Ki korbo Folks?

The day has come. Yep. Its been one year now from the day where we have arrived in the "Howrah" railway station, bus station, airport or wherever exactly last year!

One year just whizzed out like anything. First three months were undoubtedly celestial to all of us. Definitely never ever forgettable memories we had over there.

Do you really think that the places like kornamuyi,boi shaki, Sector 5, City centers, south city, kali ghat, Ramakrishna mutt, Dakshineshwar,Ulta danga, AE,CF markets, ckt grounds are the places to be relinquished from our memory? Absolutely can't !! Adding Gangotri, Scoop and pani poori shops in the above list. (For those ppl who miss kolkata just for this sake)

Specially being southies, Rottis and Aloos have played a greater role in our foodies.

The time when we had a complete change in attire, ambience and Life too. FRP,TRP, Real Time Project were really emotional entities at that time and sounds funny even if we think about those stuffs now:)

Hope No need to reveal the fun we had in the Digha trip! The days where we really came to know about every one how sweet and tweet they were!

Before those bliss getting allayed, the next fine morning has knocked every one of us to let all the fun down as it is time to start a pack up to banglore, chennai and hyderabad with no time to think over. However we got settled in our respective places by convincing ourselves to get into the real working floor of corporate!

Apart technical stuffs, learnt a lot from you guys! Danyabadh :) :)

Fortunately or unfortunately we were not able to plan another trip as the one we had and we are ahead of a long while now.

Anyways Just gave a generic reminder to all of you that we are gonna be one year old in wipro :) Thanks for the time being spent with me.

Time to cheer for celebrating one year of Wipro life!

Congrats everybody! Have a great career ahead. Never loose the touch in the offing.


Cordially dedicated to all those people who have joined along with me in Wipro Technologies on 24 th march 2010.

Keep rocking,

~~Keep Going and Keep on Going~~

A 'Take Diversion' signboard cannot stop the journey. When you look beyond, ends become bends. Potholes and speed breakers can slow down the journey, but do not have the power to stop the journey. The bullet that has left the gun must now hit the target. It cannot return to the gun. Journey begun must be journey completed. Project taken must be project accomplished. Purpose identified must be purpose served. Failure isn't an option. Retreat isn't a possibility. Keep going. Keep on going.

The world can stop you only temporarily. The only one who can stop you permanently is yourself. Stop not. Temporary setbacks should never alter permanent focus. You may trip. You may even fall. But, you will not stay fallen. Let life put you down seven times. You will, and you must rise eight times. Getting up one more time is what resilience is all about. Keep going. Keep on going.

You are just one evening away from greatness। You may not know which evening, but your time will come. All those who laughed at you will look up to you one day. All those who didn't accept you will admire you one day. Don't be bothered about what the world thinks of you. It is not their opinion that counts. It is your opinion of yourself that really counts. In the end, what really matters is what you think of yourself. Even if nobody believes in you, if you believe in yourself, then the destination is yours. Keep going. Keep on going.


Every failure, every setback, every defeat are mere temporary finishing lines. Life holds her bounties beyond the imaginary finishing line. For a resolute soul, there are no finishing lines. Go beyond the finishing line. Need be paths may be changed, processes will be altered, but not the goal. If you must detour, you will. But you will not give up. You will not give in. A place for you, out there at the top, is already reserved with your name written on it. No mortal forces, self-created or inherited from outside, is going to stop you from reaching there. Persist. Persevere. Prod on. Push yourself. Pull yourself. Keep going. Keep on going.

It is not the end till you accept it to be the end. Do not let others to define the end. You define the end. You will define the end on your terms. It is over only when you believe it is over. Even if life hands you over a period (.), you make a comma (,) out of it and continue the script. The question isn't, “Will you reach?” The question is only, “By when will you reach?” Sooner or later is the only question. Keep going. Keep on going.

Let the script of your life be titled, “Here is a man, whom, even God never tried to stop.”

Be unstoppable. Keep going. Keep on going.




Love,

~~Kudos to Team India~~


Cricketing extravaganza came to an end and finally it has happened after I have born. Yep. MSD has made it to happen. Kudos to team India and ofcourse the most responsible and reverent person who deserves for this, Master Blasterji. Team India have done it for both things what I have mentioned in the last post.

It is not mere luck or so what some jobless geeks talk and crack about the champions. I want to throw a rhetoric question to those who is still believing that luck played a role in TI's triumph. Can you just imagine that luck would make a team to chase a target of 275 in the finals of a world cup even after two giant mastered hopes walked out of Wankhede? Pressure was at its peak everywhere! Never! And the fellow who is supposedly a middle order batsman who hasnt hit even a single half century throughout the series has made it when TI was mandatorily needing it from him. He has really meant his responsibility at the right time. Adding marvellous strike of Gauti in the ground to this Voracious chase to whom I have prayed to play well for the first time in my life. The real impact of perseverence,hard work and the team spirit worked out here to make them to kiss the trophy and not the LUCK.

It is not only all about winning the final game alone. They have crossed all endeavours by dimnishing the debacles on their way. Zaheer, Bhajju, Raina, Ashwin and ofcourse Yuvi are deserved for this spectacular journey we have ever seen in the history of indian cricket for the past one month.

When ever you think of Soccer or Football, the next moment "Brazil" would strike the minds of everyone even to those people who don't know what actually the game is all about. And we need the same to happen when the same people think of cricket or surf for cricket in wiki or google,"Team India" should top the list in the offing. Hopefully that day is not so far folks! Let us make them to learn to play with bats too despite everyone chasing the same ball throughout the game.

Way to go TI. Keep going and keep on going! Let your thundreous triumphing phase persists in the upcoming series too. Awaiting watching it.
