How many of u are afraid of lizards? Anyways it does nt matter coz The fact that a lizard scares me remains unchanged. I can be called brave in almost everything other than lizards.

So, on one unfortunate day, the day when I was already feeling bad to be left quite lonely in the new home , the events seemed to just aggravate my ‘feeling bad’ mode.

Before running into the series of events let me give a brief description which lead to the events. The facts are:
I shifted to a new place recently.
The ventilator window of the home had small openings.
It is summer season where the lizards take the liberty to trespass ur home ( thru the small openings aforesaid).
These facts scared me so very much. But I consoled myself saying ‘common!! u stay in the 2 nd floor.. lizards cant climb up sooo much..’ cant help.. cud nt find a better reason to console myself.

Now. this so-called fine Sunday morning, I planned to spend my whole day lazily ..reading novel.. some chips to munch all long.. and coffee to keep me awake.

After enjoying the Sunday for a while, I just glanced round the room to assure that no one cud now disturb me. I find a !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIZARDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a lizard peeping out of the tubelight holder.. a dark brown shade .. pretty long.. and fat.. with a very very long tail.. (the details does nt matter.. even if it is short and tiny.. the intensity of my reaction wud have been the same)..

Being very scared I called up a friend to ask his advice on how to deal this tough situation. He is like ‘hmmm… hmm… NUTHIN… just continue reading the book.. and let others(HE and the LIZARD) also enjoy their (his and lizard’s) Sunday’

I said I cant have the lizard as my roomie. He said ‘Lizards would not do anything, they wont eat you’. I innocently asked him ‘What wud lizards eat??’. He added ‘Lizards eat all kinda insects, and once I have also seen it eating cockroaches’. Ohh!! this fact does nt sound good. I said ‘Common cockroaches are soo big, how can a lizard have it’. He said ‘Just the way, Snakes have frogs’ . I felt I was better without knowing this fact. He was quite amused at the fact that I was scared of a lizard and kept on asking me what harm it could do.
I finally thought I should vent out my feelings of what a lizard can possibly do.
It can hide in the clothes hanged on the coat stand, and when I put on those clothes and realize that there is a lizard between me and the clothing—a Deadlock with the lizard.
It can be in my laundry bag clothes, and I knowingly take the clothes along with it, and soak them in water, where the lizard finds it difficult to have the water ride and jumps on to me.
This lizard could have buttery legs, and fall on me at almost anytime.
It can be in the restroom lying on the soap, and I unknowingly pick the soap and rub on my face to find the lizard on my face.
It can stay calm beneath my eating plate and suddenly spring up when I am eating from the plate.

And numerous other ways it can cause a close heart attack to me.

After all these rantings, my fren finds it fit to tell that the dinosaurs were one form of lizards. Ohh what a thing to tell me!! As if I have affection to those extinct organisms which could invoke sympathy to the threatening lizards.

Then for a long time I sat outside my room, feeling that the lizard would go away if I give it some private time. But alas!! Nuthin of that sort happened. Then I thought I have to take courage and drive it away. I took a broomstick and one foot away from the place where the lizard is resting I hit the broomstick against the wall and with that quake it went inside the tube light holder and stopped peeping out. I felt this situation is far better.

So, now everytime it peeps out, I repeat a similar action and make it invisible.

Cheers to me!!!

Movie Review: Pournami

2006-05-04T21:57:00.000+07:00

'Pournami' starring Prabhas, Trisha and Charmy...Have seen this movie a week ago...
the feedback i collected before deciding on this movie..was it is the worst movie playing in town..and even a 'fevicol' would like to leave his seat after an hour!
even after hearing such a bad review..i dared to go for it..since i saw the rest of the movies playing in town..and they are not worth enuf to watch again.
Wonderously... i liked the movie..
Prabhas was very very Handsome in that movie ... :)
Trisha and Charmy were also good..
i esp like the picturisation...the locations were damn good..and apt..
story..went on...well..though at times felt boring..
music was excellent..
The story is set in the 1960 s...and so pple of this generation mite feel bored or silly..
but wateva it was ..it was apt..
the story fits into this age also..but i dont understand what made them to cast the story in 1960s..
they cud have added more glamour by casting it in the 21st century..
and it cud have made more sense to pple then..
but overall..i rate the movie good...even after being looked astonishingly at me..after my review..

Analysis and evaluation of my favourites!!

2006-04-18T02:52:00.000+07:00

recently while filling up my profile at some community..
I came across a question where I had to mention five things I cannot live without!
Considering materialistic things my answer was My Veena, My computer, My vehicle (petrol included), Good Music and good books to read.
I was engrossed in the thought of which wud take the highest toll in these five things.
My Veena: Not really the 1st position…esp if I have to practice veena in the first kalam (slow pace) I feel bored... :P...may be it ranks at 4.
My computer: It wud come close to 3..coz...without net it gets boring at times!
Unfortunately..occasionally it get boring with net conectn too :(
My Vehicle : my vehicle wud be given no importance once I get a boy friend :P lol..
coz I wud prefer to go with him..rather than alone on my vehicle!! ..;))..so until now...it wud take a 5th position!!
Good Books: I always hate to read the first 20-50 pages of any book. I dont understand why every author tries to bore you at the start of the novel!! if I ever write a novel. I wud try hard to keep it interesting from the start..so 'Good Books' wins the 2nd position..cheers!!!!
Good Music: yes..........good music is what drives me!!..it is like fuel to my life..
It can change my mood at once!!..no wonder it takes the 1 st postion..
I wud like to put hear my Favv favv playlist..
it wud contain..all songs from Rythm..few from Bombay..
actually I wud say...any A R Rehman composition...is more than Honey to my ears!!
I am a biggg biggg fan of Rehman...Strange I neva mentioned about him in my blog till now!!!!
I have a secret resolution (obviously not any more)..that atleast once in my life I should meet The Great Rehman personally..and take his autograph!!!..if possible also learn some music from him...that is too much to ask for in this life :(...
eer too heavy..!! lol
in my fav list of music composers are Rehman (the obvious).. Illayaraja ( the unbeatable)
Ofcourse...no one can ever beat Tyagaraja and Annamayya!!!..many more to list!! but lets end here!!

My concept of studying for exams!!

2006-04-08T20:37:00.000+07:00

I compare exams to be something like being in water without an oxygen pump!!!...hehehe
and as does anyone..i dont wish to stay in water for long!!...just...dip and get out from it!! there should nt be many holidays between exams..and more if it is final sem of engg !!
I start my prep for the exam..just the night before..even after repeated advices from many to start early...but..i dont feel there wud be much difference even if it were some ten days..or 1 day before the exam!!.....
finally...the long awaited holidays are sooooo near !!!

perplexed!!

2006-03-30T13:35:00.000+07:00

How good is being vindictive!!
if someone fools u..or plays a nasty joke with u!!!
Is it wrong to teach them a lesson?? to tell them to keep their nasty jokes to themselves?? to fool them back??
tell me how right it is to be vindictive???
My reason says it is Right!! But my moral code says it is unethical!!
wat do u pple say about this?

A Tribute

2006-03-05T11:49:00.000+07:00

A tribute to my uncle, who has always lived his life spreading smile and happiness to people around him. My uncle was a humor loving person and has always tried to make people around him comfortable and happy.
His sudden death came as a shock to me. I express my deepest sorrows to all his family and dear ones.

ways to get up after the alarm rings !!!!!

2006-02-17T21:17:00.002+07:00

my eyes drooped and drooped at night 1 o clock. Usually, I dont get sleep at such an hour...but it was exam time..and i had loads to study. so i decided to sleep for an hour. i set the alarm to 2 o clock. Waking up by just a minutes screaming tring tring of alarm..no way...its not that easy... so i decided to take help of my brother who was then working on net. i went to him..and asked him to wake me up when the alarm rings...and also placed a jaggery sweet on the computer table...he looked with a puzzled expression..i then asked him..to place this sweet in my hand when he comes to wake me up...
u puzzled!!!...why a jaggery sweet in the middle of night!!!..
coz it is a rock hard sweet and needs a lot of work up to finish it..and yes..interestingly it is my favourite sweet..
i guess..u guessed it by now..the whole concept behind the jaggery sweet and how it works as a sleep awakener...
hahaha...so...was i able to wake up and study??
will leave it for u pple to guess..

WHATS WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-02-02T01:43:00.000+07:00

before getting into this topic....I would like to apologize to all my readers for not updating my blog this long. I also guess it is time to change the name of my blog from DAILY diffuse to MONTHLY diffuse..lol...
this is a different kinda post....and many pple might not agree with the ideas I put forth here.

People feel studying hard and getting good grades is the only thing that will make them happy. And in fact it does not !! getting a secure job …does that make them feel happy ??..now that depends on how we define Secure …being able to pay the bills at the end of every month?? Or having a huge paycheck every month.?? But as per those same people money is sin and wanting for it is greed.
For me money brings in happiness and earning money is joy. Yes some people may term it as greed. But yes that is what makes me happy. Anyways I am still a student so would confine this discussion to the controversies prevailing in my life at present.
I feel happy studying till late night (or till early morning ) during exam time,
I feel happy completing a novel in one night,
I feel happy enjoying my life with a few parties every month
and phone calls and chat every day,
I feel happy about sleeping idly when I have no work at all,
I feel happy about bunking college when there are no important classes to attend,
I feel happy about deciding it on the spur of moment,
I feel happy about not neglecting any work,
And I am proud of being happy about them and being able to do them.
Whats the sin there??
studying till late night…..not our culture..should get up early in the morning and study…(but I prefer night study…whats wrong)
reading novels ..should not get addicted to such stuff…and they might contain some xxx kinda stuff..(.but that is there in life….whats wrong)
parties… wasting time……(all jack and no play makes sravanthi a dull girl)
Sleeping idly… u are lazy…(yes I am… when there is no other work to do..whats wrong)
Bunking classes…oh my god…..bunking !!! (…better not to listen to a boring class and spoil mind)
Deciding quickly… very careless…(but that’s decisiveness..whats wrong)
……………………………………….
And many more …yes lots more…
Y is it imbibed into the deepest roots in society that happiness is evil..and one should be guilty of being happy……I understand that the examples I gave are petty and no way important…but…if this is the state of petty things…think about important things.
The moral code which pple are supposed to abide by.. is being broken in either way….
Either way..i say…coz…pple who are really dangerous to society…don’t follow the moral code…and the remaining pple…who want to live life..their own life..according to their own will and joy…are made to feel guilty of having thot of such a thot…
As a final word of this lengthy post I would just suggest that you give a deep thought on what makes u happy….and what are its affects on society.

Confused

i always had a little penchant towards cookin..i used to cook just for the heck of it..i used to try some of my own recipes..and use some scientific mind...and...feel i am doing some ..lab work..boilin some chemicals...might recive an award for my research and development..and so on..and so stuff...
it was always my brother who suffered coz of my peculiar attitude towards cookin..
he was my only guest and sufferer of my creative cookin..coz he never ever thot of disappointin me....

the recital was simply superb...the theme of the recital was 'the five elements of this universe (pancha bhutamulu)'..and they ended it wid siva tandavam..
now..comin back to my cookin scenario...everythin is comin out to be good...and..the number of diners also increased from 1(my brother) to 2(my dad and myself)..anyways..thats it for now..

hmmmm..wen will it stop raining...

about my visit to shimla ( trotting north India cont)

2005-10-14T01:24:00.000+07:00

A small grp of little school-going children clad in merooon suit... wearing knee length whitee socks and shiny blackk shoes….walking..chattering and laughing all long the beautiful road as if to teach the serene road the mellifluence of noise…that was my first sight in Shimla and it reminded me the beauty of innocence…
As from then on I saw (in Shimla) only the Bold and Beautiful…..the oak forests..the pine trees which I relished with my jogged innocence.
On the first day of our stay we went to kufri …to reach the fuga point(which is about 6 kms frm this kufri ) we had to mount a horseback (the person who guides the horse walks that way otherwise the road is said to be unwalkable)…I climbed on a brown horse named Badal….then had a nice ride on it..until we reached this Fuga point where many famooous places can be viewed with the help of a telescope…but the view without the telescope was worth the horse’s burnt calories, the horseman’s expedition, my mother’s fear of mounting the horse and none the least the money we spent to reach there.The far off iced mountains..the apple trees..the mountain gradients with oak forests..rhododendrons..the rain and ofcourse the coffee i quaffed were unforgettable.
The next day we went to mall road to do a little shopping..more than that to watch the sunset. Here I saw Shimla in its bustling and juvenile form. It was really very nice to watch this as I was reminded of my city’s most adored hang out place ( beach road)..i felt a bit nostalgic..but then the beauty of the sunset cuddled me and I resumed my shopping.. happily gulping popcorn along with ice cream….
Other than this ..the hotel we lodged at..was luxurious..the food was delicious..and ofcourse the pple are helpful and frenly.

trotting north India

2005-10-05T19:20:00.000+07:00

That was my first visit to the capital city. I felt an insurgent rush of patriotism…may be coz I have always felt that I will be closer to the personified India at the capital…(that is all ..cant explain more)…but then during this short period of revamped patriotism I was all the while coughing….i was the first one in my family to respond to the polluted air…it was so dusty..and I dint want to breathe…but then after few hours my immune system geared up..and I was breathing without taking note of it…. Then as soon as we( parents, brother..and ofcourse I) came out of the station…and sat in an auto to reach the destination…there was a traffic jam…traffic jam at morning six!!! In my place..traffic jam is a rare thing …so was a bit anxious about a traffic jam at such an hour…but then finally it got cleared and we reached our destination after long concatenation of roads…which contracted to alleys..and finally my uncle’s place….We were short of time from the start of our journey…so no taking rest…and started out as tourists even before recovering from the tedious two day journey. We visited all the imporatant places in Delhi..then went to Agra…the Delhi-Agra highway was ss.xy…then visited all important monuments…and places in Agra…and back to Delhi….next day we shopped in Delhi…and then set out on our journey to shimla….shimla was ravashing..(don’t mind my using these kinda words to describe places…coz they are worth it and nuthin accordin to me fits better)..the only prob in Shimla is water scarcity…there my most memorable place has been Kufri point….i need to improve on my vocab to describe the beauty of such places……

I’ll cont this post sometime else…as I have lots of impending record work to do…and by then I will also improve my vocab...to demonstrate beautiful places..

the most beautiful lady

2005-07-31T17:20:00.000+07:00

i have been watching this beautiful lady since my childhood....
no... better put it as she has been watchin me since i was born...
she was with me all the time(almost all the time...)
i have a motherly feeling towards her...

i never noticed that she is so beautiful...
now that i will not stay with her for more than one to two years...
i realised that i will miss her so much..
but i wish i will come back to stay with her at a later stage in my life..

she is so beautiful..
she is so calm and composed...
she is so serene...
yeah i will miss her if i leave her...

i chose this day to write a testimonial kinda on her..becoz...
it is today..it is today and there is no better day to write on her than now ..
today becoz i feel like expressing my feelings on her...
today becoz i realised she is so very important in my life...
(thanks to the person who made me realise this)

now almost close to 1.5 million pple think the same abt her…
then y am I so special…
the reason is everychild of her is special to her…

i am talking abt my birth city..the place i enjoyed my childhood...
the place that educated me..the place that gave me everythin i wished for..
it is my beautiful city of destiny -visakhapatnam

P.S if anyone readin this blog have never seen vizag..then chek the link i have put up in "my fav links"

pooooor.......me

2005-07-08T08:44:00.000+07:00

past fifteen days have been no less than worse for me...
and the bad luck i had was tremendous
first...as i mentioned in my earlier post i had been very ill....and my illness continued even wen i took the first AIMCAT...
i was very excited abt my first AIMCAT..
but...half the time while takin the test i was coughing...
all this coupled with a lot of bad luck...putforth a terrible score...(very low indeed...got a rank somwhere around 2000)...
took some serious resolution not to be ill again..and to do well even wen i am ill..

the discouragement I experienced while saying a low AIMCAT score..and the flagrant looks of all pple saying that common sense says that i am not worth to try for CAT ..is terrible...
and all most all pple on earth seemed to ask my score....
i know being ill is no reason for my poor score...but i definetely think i can do better....though the better may not suffice a call...i know i am worth atleast a try
(afterall AIMCAT is not everything in life)
leaving all that...aside...

FOR 15 DAYS..my mom went out of the station...
that was terible for me...
mainly i miss her ....and on top of that i had to dine out...day in and day out...at stupid restaurants...
back home...nobody to chat..nobody to scold me...

and many of my frens also went out of the station..to take their GRE...
i feel these fifteen days were the dogdays of this year...
testin my patience...and the bad luck faced at every active minute in my life.. these 15 days seemed to depress me a lot..
....and the fear that i have a very uncertain future ahead...
the thought of not doing well in cat...which will leave me worth nothin...becoz i am not trying for GRE or gate....the very thought shivers me...
and being in a forbidden branch of engg...( forbidden by all software companies)..i do not have any option to secure my future with a job in some damn software company....
all the while i felt i lost the fun element in my life...
i felt i dont deserve happiness...
i felt i have been kissed by a dementator..

but.....
finally now my mom is back home...
now i feel better... a lot better...i am happy..and
the one thing i learned is that there need not be any reason for being happy...after all each of us strive all thru life jus to be happy....
and we have every right to be happy with no substantial reason to justify..
and all the stupid fear abt my uncertain future..
i feel watever happens i cant stop ...but i can work for a better and brighter future..

Now after the unsuccesful planned attempt by my brother and cousin to catch the theif..recently i had conronted him(the theif)....
i had fallen quite ill these days..with severe cold, high temp and marathonian cough..
so i accidently woke at around 4.30 in the morning.. coughing..i got up to have a glass of water..sitting on my bed and drinking water...gazing emptily thru the bouyant curtain..i caught the site of two peeping eyes moving just outside my window..i observed severely thru the window...i cud then distinguish a man with thick hair and round face ..sneaking thru the uncurtained part of the window...
my stary eyes caught his site...he looked straught at my face...by then i stood up..and just wanted to open the door and kick him hard...but then my parents..wud never want me to take any risk any time..(esp at such an hour of the day)..so i thought abt waking them up....but the theif already got warned..and was taking to his heels.
so no point in waking my parents silently...so i thought it wud be better if i shout... and run towards the door...such that my parents automatically wake up and soon after they get hold of the situation the door will be just open and they can do watever they can..so everything went right except that the process had enuf time for the theif to run away...
concluding this long post..i wud first like to say my myth abt a traditional look of a theif had broke...our theif was quite handsome..and young...he cud think at a greater frequency then us..(like jumping frm the first floor...that was defenitely a wild idea for us..)..he was VERY PUNCTUAL...and he never fighted back...he was regular..he came to try his little luck everyday...and was never sucessfully caught...even the immediate next day of the unsucessful chase by my bro and cousin..he was back again to try his luck..
now in many other ways this theif is different....
he has set new definitions for theif..gave a totally new look to the idea of stealing...i have never heard of a theif...with such a patience and perseverence..such a puctuality and regularity....such a look and age..
wish us sucess in catching this theif who have redefined the art of theft..
and bhayya waiting for ur return..such that we can make a good plan and execute it succesfully...

redefining theif (PART 2)

2005-06-18T20:18:00.000+07:00

(This post is a continuation of my earlier post)
now that we knew a theif wud come to our house at 4.30 in the morning..my brother and my cousin were ready with sticks...sitting in a dark corner of an adjascent room such that they will be able to see the theif once he arrives and peeps thru the window..
as according to our plan the theif came exactly at 4.30 in the morning...peeped thru the window...my bro and cousin were in such a position that they wee able to see the theif but not vice versa..
then they went thru another door...went to corner...and stood watching the theif from the corner...
poor we...we prep only upto there..they had no idea wat to de next...whether to hit him with the stick..or just to frighten him...no idea how the theif will respond..he might kick them back hard and run...or he might even fight back with any hidden knife (if at all he has one)...
so no idea wat to do next...and being novice in all these matters..they just made a sound with the stick hitting the ground ..may be they thought ..that he will run thru the only way possible ..which makes him confront them...
but the theif had much bigger and adventurous ideas...
he was at that time standing in the balcony of our first floor..so he jumed from there ..and landed unhurt on to the ground floor...my bro and cousin..after hearing the "THUMP"..sound realised that he jumped from there...
and it dint stop there..it went on..he then climbed the wall enclosing our house..and then again jumped from there on to the road...and .................
and then he ran..with full speed all long a mile with the two heroes of our house chasing him.
after that they had no more energy left to run..so they stopped while the theif still ran at top speed and had an adventurous escape...
This was all over long time back may be around six months ..now it is my turn ..though i never ran chasing him...nor preplanned..but i handled things brave enuf..though cudn't catch him even this time..
about my counter with the theif...it is in part3..

Redefining theif (PART 1)

2005-06-18T13:01:00.001+07:00

once i lost my watch...twice my brother lost his pair of sports shoes...and many more...
must be wondering why we lose things...lose becoz they get stolen...stolen by a young and percievably not so ugly (infact according to pple who saw him he is quite handsome) theif
i usually presumed Indian theives to be with a long thick moustache..and a big black spot on one side of their cheek...with well built or to say over built body...wearing a very tight red (usually striped) T shirt and a dark lungi..fixed with a thick belt...
atleast this is wat i used to feel the appearance of a theif might be...esp wen i was a kid..and dint know about the developments in all fields of art
my myth broke wen pple complained to have seen a quite handsome theif.. wandering across our house balcony..near windows ..with a long stick in his hand...
my neighbours first thought was that he is one of my cousins who might have had a good habit of waking up early in the morning...
but wen they observed that he was peering into the window with the stick in his hand
they dint understand who he was ..or wat was he doing... so they informed us wat they observed and concluded him to be theif..
so my brother and myself thought of catching him...we loved the idea of catching a theif....atleast the planning we did..thinking like we r a part of the CBI..we simply enjoyed everything in the planning process...then we asked our cousin to come over to our place and help us in our mission...he was also excited after hearing our plan and quickly agreed to help us....
so wat was our advantage thru out the plan..was that our theif is quite punctual..he comes to our house everyday at exactly 4.30am..to try his luck with a watch or shoes and watever..
the saddest part of this is that i was not involved in the execution part of the plan..i simply had to sleep in my room and wake as soon as the plan gets executed...
so....becoz of knowing the exact time of his arrival..my big b and cousin did not have to stay awake all night waiting for him...
they exactly got up at four..made the room absolutely dark...and sat in a dark corner of the adjascent room....such that they were able to watch him..

an unsuccesful accident

2005-06-14T02:09:00.000+07:00

once ....while i was driving on a not so busy road.....it so happened that....
there was an uncle (along with a lady sitting at the back seat) drivng happily on one end of the road....while a cross road came..and as if by magic he suddenly realised that he had to cross the road and take a road on the other end....he turned his vehicle to 90 degrees..and started crossing the road....
so i, who was driving behind him till then had to almost stop my vehicle frm going further......but a car which was coming behind me had no such intentions of applying brakes..or slowing down....it scraped a side of my vehicle...and also gave a final jerk, with the rear part of car's body, which made me fall onto the main side of the road.....i jeep which was coming back of that car....successfully had no intentions like the car..and had fortunately applied brakes...so this saved my life....
after all this....i got up at the quickest i can....picked my dearest vehicle...and sat on it to go before a large mass of people gather...and pamper me...
so i started my vehicle....
and the irony there is that...
the cause of my accident...
the cause for me to stop the vehicle...
the uncle (along with the lady)...driving to cross the road..in direction perpendicular to the road.....
that uncle had still not crossed the road.....
he stopped his vehicle and stood there....to see wat will happen to me....
as far as my knowledge goes..he started his vehicle after i crossed him....
after checking that there is nothing interesting to miss at that place...
and continued crossing the road in the weirdest way possible...
now this cud be termed the most unsuccessful accident...
becoz....neither did the cause of the accident was fullfilled nor the effect....(effect being ...myself lying injured..and a crowd being gathered talking abt how rash this generation students..esp girls are)

guess what happened to the car which hit me...
the one driving the car is not like the uncle..he dint even look back to see how i was..alive or dead....he ran from there with the same speed which actually made him hit me...
so again an irony...the car that shud actually stop...dint...while the uncle who had no work there ...atleast wen i got up and started my vehicle dint move a bit...

in the world of fantasy

2005-06-12T00:09:00.000+07:00

the only thing i yearn to have since years...is a pet....
i dont mind having a cat or kitten..a dog or puppy..a horse or pony....
but i cannot have one...becoz no one else in my house wants a pet....
if i have a pet...if i have a doggy as my pet...i wud like to name it lion...
(the secret behind it...is that i really wish the most to have a lion as my pet...so i have to appease my yearning by appellating it as 'lion')...
i wud make my lion..(doggy..my pet) to sit on my bike..and then i will drive to beach road with it...then we'll have a walk on the beach sand.....and while i sit and watch it...lion goes and has fun..rolling in the beach sand...after that i will stop at pani puri shop...have some pani puri...i dont know whether my doggy can enjoy that or not...so i will also bring something for it to eat...then after happily munching all the stuff we order...we will come back home...on my bike..with lion sitting before me...
then my mom will scold me and lion for being so late...then it will go and pls my mom..while i go and find somethin more to eat frm the kitchen...
that i wud call a perfect day with my cute little lion
then i can also make him listen to what all i studied that day..and wat all funny happened in the class....becoz it wud surely miss me wen i go to college...
then wen at night i am writing my new post..it wud sit beside ...as if it is cheking that wat all i write is wonderful...and shout...at the end to dedicate that to it..
then...early in the morning..it will bark loud and wake me up..begging me to take it for a walk...then after we go for a walk...it will wait with a solemn expression..while i get ready to go to college...and then will say a bye to me....with a very sorrowful bark...then i wud pat it gently..and bid it with a bye....
and the process continues.....
hey i understand..all this is nothin but fantasy
but that really sounds wonderful...me having fun with my pet...let it be a lion or a rat..(but not a lizard...i hate them..)and i wud me obliged to have a pet which is very naughty yet loving...
i wud love to fullfill my wish of having a pet....and i will fulfill it sometime or the other in my life..now all of u wish me a pet..which wud luv me the same as i wud luv it...
this post is dedicated to my wud be pet...:D

my greatest fear

2005-06-11T10:55:00.000+07:00

though i am not that bad at studies, atleast till my 10th, i used to study subjects according to my whims. my all time hateful subject has been history and civics..
and so wen i was doing my 10th..i never touched the book until the day before the main history exam...and also i was so panic...seeing myself in such a pathetic situation....so at that time there is no point studying the text book...so i took the test papers...i read a total of 10 essay questions...cried for being so careless....and slept.....but for choosing the 10 questions i had to study..took a long time..as i had to do an extensive research in trying to form a blue print.....guess what haapned in my history exam.....i can call myself lucky for that one time....all the 5 questions i had to write where frm those i had studied that last night.......
after the exam i thought that was the end of tragedies of my life with history....
i felt as if i had been unburdened of the one thing i am unable to carry along with me anymore........
similarly i hate to read about politics......and thank god ..there was no politics exam in my life until now
now even till today i feel the tension i experienced that night before the exam...
i chill passes thru my nerve...giving me a kinda shock....now wen preparing for cat and other such exams....i am again forced to have knowledge about HISTORY ...knowledge about politics.....and moreover knowledge abt 'FUTURE HISTORY'.....current affairs...
but this time there is no chance of getting lucky without reading much....
it needs extensive study...
i started my prepation...trying to develop habits which i ought to have had by now....
though i never liked history until now.....i cant help saying it is a very important subject...and there is no point in turning our backs to it......
so all u folks...wish me best of luck...for my future endeavours with history...

my innate inspirer

2005-06-10T02:47:00.000+07:00

the horrible truth about me is that i never like to get inspired....not atleast by someone whom i know very well....the reason is flagrant...EGO....
but through this post i want to allay my guiltiness...guilty for never being thankful...guilty for never giving a thought to all that....

It is not just ego..that i never thanked my inspirer...it is becoz i never understood that it is inspiration....i never knew how it happened to me....
but after analyzing my life with a differnt outlook i understood the true meaning of inspiration.......for me it is something more than inspiration..it is like showing me the way to lead my life...the way to choose priorities...and many more...

i always get fanatic abt gr8 autohrs...gr8 musicians...and many things which i enjoy
and i had to take his help to come out of that frenzied mood...into a mood which i ought to be in...but all this help is rendered in a differnt way...in a way of mocking ..and it is really this way that helps me understand how stupid i was at times...

now i dont want to thank him in this post without even revealing his name.....becoz i dont think he will be able to guess it...afterall i am never like this before...
my innate inspirer is my elder brother...sivaram..
now to understand how big an inspirer he is....
read the following quite important details of my life..
i am doing my chemical enggineering in andhra university...
(he has done chemical engg..frm the same university)
i am thinking of doing an mba in a top b school...
( he is doing a pgdm course in a top b school)
it is he who has insipred me to start a blog....
these r things which stand loud...
but there r many small and big things in all the yrs we spent together...
so...after all this roundabout way of thanking....
one direct shot.....THANK U...BIG BROTHER...

this post is dedicated to my big b ( not amitabh..re) and my family

and by the way he is my INNATE inspirer...becoz..frm the time this not so thankful girl landed on earth....she has, without even consideration, looked on to her brother for inspiration...without even knowing what and how she is receiving....this either shows my innately granted way of getting inspired...or innate talent of extracting insipration ( bit too much explanation.....ain't)

being a girl...

2005-06-08T23:44:00.000+07:00

Being a girl has many advantages and also disadvantages…now I don’t want to talk issues like killing girls at infant stage or the atrocities of men on dependent girls.

I want to talk about the many things that happen to me because I am girl….
Firstly I am thankful that I am born in a family where a girl child is accepted with respect and joy..and there is no astounding differences shown between the genders except in terms of over caring and protecting me because of the social environment that demands such exaggerated protection.
Being a girl I enjoy lot of privileges…like I can easily manage to get change for a hundred rupee no matter how ugly I look, though the person giving me change has just then rejected a boy asking for change for the same amount…I usually enjoy a small queue in railway reservation counters…I enjoy exemption when caught driving without a drinving license…and many to cite in this regard …
Then all men reading this article must be thinking that it is great being a girl and enjoying the preferences at every walk of life.
But it is definitely not….is it great enjoying privileges which we don’t deserve…enjoying the pity of others….enjoying protection in a way that curbs freedom and modes of enertainment…

It once happened that I was riding my bike fast to cross the signal…but was unsuccessful and had to apply a rash sudden brake…I perfectly agree that I shudnt have driven by bike at such speed…and therefore was not at all surprised when I saw the traffic police coming towards me…I thought he would scold me for the speed…but no..he asked me ….being a girl, why do I have to drive the vehicle so fast…being a girl what important work can I have that I shud drive the vehicle so fast…I was shocked…I was by the time very furious to answer his questions and made my point clear to him that girls can also be busy…and it is equally wrong if a boy drives his vehicle at such a speed…. He was shocked at my reply as if it was for the first time he heard girls being busy…and so I dint care to reply further as by that time an uncle, at that slot, has also picked a word in the same line of the traffic police….

Many a times a boy comes fast ..overtakes me and says that I shudnt drive so fast….he doesn’t mind to advice me even though he overtakes me in a wrong direction..even though he is going triples on his bike…leave abt crossing speed limits in disastrous way….

Girls always get advices free of cost at every point in their life…advices that being a girl I shud be like this..i shudnt have done this..i shud have done that…..it is perfectly ok if I get this to listen from my beloveds…but not from each one on the road..every stupid fellow…every elderly man…just because I am girl….

Being a girl is not that easy …atleast at my place of living

a prudent analogy

2005-06-08T11:43:00.000+07:00

At most of the times, comparison can be made between the way humans behave and the way materials behave.
I have learnt a little about Materials Science and Engineering as a part of the academic curriculum. This subject that I started pondering over has fascinated me. It is because the professor who teaches this subject does his job in a good way and more because he dedicates the first five minutes of his class for inculcating moral values in each one of us. Having left with thoughts of deeper philosophy I listen to his class and this made me think about the similarity between the behaviour of materials and humans. And this is what that has fascinated me. For instance when my prof taught about how a material can be strengthened by alloying I pondered over the wise old saying unity is strength.Unity imparts strength especially when the subject, considered to be united, has a gamut of artifices thus producing a perfect idealogical object. It is not just with this case, similar analogies can be derived from many other concepts of this subject. May be this type of analogies are an outcome of over pondering in class but i still want to share my ideas with everyone and it is to u people to comment on the justification of the title.

Basics about ragas

2005-06-07T00:43:00.000+07:00

THIS IS STRICTLY FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW WHAT RAGA IS IN CARNATIC MUSIC OR FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN CARNATIC MUSIC
As everyone knows there are 7 notes in carnatic music
shadjamam(sa), rishabham(ri), gandharam(ga), madhyamam(ma), panchamam(pa), dhaivatham(da), nishadam(ni).
there are 3 varieties of rishabham...suddha rishabham..chathusruthi rishabham..and shatsruthi rishabham..
three varieties of gandharam..suddha gandharam, sadharana gandharam, and anthara gandharam..
two varities of madhyamam..suddha madhyamam and prati madhyamam..
three varieties of dhaivatham..suddha dhaivitham..chatusruthi dhaivitham and shatsrruthi dhaivitham
three varieties of nishadam.. suddha nishadam, kaisiki nishadam and kakali nishadam

there are 72 melakartha or janaka ragas in carnatic music..
ragam is the outcome of the factors arohana and avarohana
arohana is the ascending order of the swarams and avarohana is the descending order
the combination of the swara groups that produce sound moving smoothly up and down, pleasant to the ears and mind is called ragam

out of the 72 janaka(parent) ragas ..many janya ragas have originated...
janaka ragas have all the 7 swaras in it while the janya ragas need not have all the swaras..
janya ragas are clasified into
sampurna (all 7 swaras), shadava (only 6 swaras) and audava(Only 5 swaras) ragams..(Bala MuraliKrishana garu developed a raga with only 4 swaras in it)
the arohana and avarohan of the janya swaras need not the same swaras or have the swaras in order.
janya ragas can be further classified into upanga, bhashanga(wen a swaram not in the corresponding janaka ragam appears in arohana or avarohana) and vakra ( wen the arohan or avarohana or both do not follow the order of consecutive swaras) ragam

The Fairy Tale

2005-06-07T00:01:00.001+07:00

i started learning carnatic music since childhood
but i started playing veena only from past 8 yrs
though i have no acheivements to record here
i can for sure say that it is an important part of my life now
important enough that i cannot part from it for the rest of my life.

the saddest part in my music journey until now
is that i never used to take much interest in it until 4 years
so this also became my drawback as then
i was in a postion where top priorities
in my life have already been decided..
i had no option to choose music as my career...
i was too late in realising my priorities

Though the situation was not all impossible
it certainly seemed to be abstract
and i dint dare to realise my dream..
But then i also took a resolution
that i will go chase my dreams at somepoint of time
and i am not going to leave it by any chance

as in a fairy tale...after sadness there is always joy..
and though i am not a fairy and neither this is a tale..
there happened to be ecstasy in my life because
by then i understood the sweetest thing for me ..
the most blissful entertainment..and the most wonderful hobby..
i understood the greatness and melody of carnatic music..
and i lived happily ever since then

Details of saraswathi veena

2005-06-06T17:19:00.000+07:00

The veena in South India, is formally called the Saraswati veena, in its modern outlook. With a fret board of 24 frets spanning three and a half octaves, its origins can be traced to the Raghunatha Mela Veena developed by Govinda Dikshitar in the sixteenth century.
While veenas are made in several regions in South India, those made by hereditary makers from Tanjore seem to be prized highly. The instrument is still hand crafted, using jackwood, brass, and other metals. The blocks of wood are seasoned for a few months before construction starts. A single master maker works on the instrument from start to finish - including the preparations, carving, setting the other metal components, polishing, decoration, fret board placement, and the final touches. The quality of the raw material, the attention to detail, physical dimensions, and maker's process, contributes to the inconsistencies in the tonal quality. The two and a half foot fret-board merges into a large wooden resonator on the right side of the performer, and is supported by a smaller gourd, used as an anchor to hold the instrument, on the left. The core (right) of the instrument is hollow and acts as a resonator to amplify the sound and sustain notes longer. It also contributes significantly to the deep and sonorous tone of the instrument. The best veena-s are carved from a single piece of wood and lavishly decorated. The edges of the fret-board help anchor the brass frets with the use of specially treated wax. Five of the seven main tuning pegs are located on the left side of the instrument.On the right end of the instrument rest two bridges. The top of the main bridge is made of brass and supports four strings on which the melody is played. The side of the same bridge holds three drone (taalam) strings that serve to extend notes and/or punctuate the rhythm. Very rarely, one comes across an instrument, in which, under the main bridge rests a smaller bridge, anchoring about twelve sympathetic strings. These resonate when the melodic strings are played, thus helping to sustain notes longer.
