Hi I am back again..
This week is a busy week and weekend is full o fun..movie,friends,
good food, barbecue,dumb charades.It is very good.
I think after a long time ,one of my friend brought a grill and everybody sat around it making fire sitting in the chill weather,fighting for the place near fire, I was reminded about my
childhood days where we used to go to my grandmother's village in winter holidays,
get up in the early morning before the fog goes down.As my grandmother had a lot of cattle, there used to be heaps of hay around, we used to grab it make fire and sit around it warming up ourselves till we get a loud shout from my mom to come inside.
Ah! villages in India are the most beautiful parts that too being from coastal areas where there is plenty of water,lot of ponds with lotus flowers,streams, big big green farms,rangolis,bullock carts, sleeping under the moonlight,roses,guava trees, gooseberries..hmmmm...wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that we are grown ups , have lot of responsibilities but still taking time for friends and family members, forget about everybody , we feel good and nice about ourselves.Its good feeling when you think u have somebody to take care of u listen to u and guide u in a proper manner.
I think memories are the God given gift to us which is the only thing which leaves us connected.
Well, Thanks to my neighbors who are extremely friendly who has shown good hospitality including me and my roomie n their big team.
Tomorrow is Holi,I remember the days in our college where we have put a lot of color and my
warden made us clean it, Well that was so embarrassing but memorable fun filled moments..
well now, forget about colors and a holiday, I doubt how many people living here remember it.
Back in India, every festival is so special.. Friends and relatives come home and it used to be so busy and so lively.Here to say hi also, we have to take an appointment of the host before going to their place.
There will be always positive and negative aspects when we are brought up in one kind of culture and we land up in a different one.
If you have good friends and family or at least a strong heart u r rewarded.
But definitely learning is there.. u tend to become strong ,forgive and forget. You grow up from a person where you think he whole world is alike
to a person who sees the world in real and realize that every part of it is different.
Well, everything happens for good.
Have a blasting and safe Holi with Eco-friendly colors..enjoyyyyyyyyy

Gone are those days...
Gone all the days
When we used to be hours with our friends
Now er don't have the time to day HI
Gone all the days
when we used sit to chat with friends on grounds
Now we rarely chat in the chat rooms
Gone all the days when we used to study just to pass
Now study to save our jobs
Gone all the days when we used to have no money in our pockets
and still fun filled our hearts
Now we have tons which are of no use...
Gone all the days when we shouted on roads
now we rarely speak
Gone all the days
but not the memories
which will be lingering in our heart for ever and ever
Remember, there is no point in being grown up if you be
childish sometimes
We have not passed that subtle line between childhood nad
adulthood until.. we have stopped saying
"It got lost" and say "I lost it"
Always make time and say Hi
Give them one of yours :)
when u find anyone without a smile
Why worry and ahve wrinkles
when u can smile and have dimples:)
Smile and spread smiles..:)

Insignificant things sometimes are wotrh doing it
Time to start again after a lot of dormancy...
This weekend is fun and lot of work.. i just love going out doors with frnds or going for a movie or bowling where I did all of these this weekend.. I am gonna do lot of cooking also today as my frnds are coming down for lunch 2moro...
Cooking is one thing which I like and adding more to that I like to cook for frnds.
Today saw a movie called shutter island ( not completely true, I cam out in the midway) I felt it boring and good that the theater is in the nice mall so had a nice walk..:)
If u have good set of people around, which ever place u stay either it is India or America or any other place,it will be heaven.. nicely going out, play come back home..
cooking late night... having food together, u should be really lucky to have all this fun.
I remember one day in hyderabad, my frnds made chapathi for me at 2 am in the morning when we got hungry staying awake for a lot of time...
There used to be days where we get up late, get ready and go to a movie where a restaurant is inside the theater ... get the tickets,have food ,watch the movie, come back have snacks ,then go to a shopping center then find a auto ,everybody trying to fit into one.. going home...those days were real gud times where we had lot of fun..
Having a lot of frnds..college frnds, colleagues everybody at one place in Hyderabad, the time used to fly like anything.
now, if at all anybody are coming to our house, We just make 3 or 4 dishes by default, back in India making one good dish used to be like a great deal of work which needs a lot of effort, keeping mom on phone , asking neighbors all the missing ingredients, its so funny thinking of all these and I am sure these would have happened in each one of our lives.We finally learn things and manage them as well,that to if u stay out of the country by yourself, u tend to become more independent,individuality improves.I think the level of patience increases greatly.
Most of the people I saw here have a good helping nature, that too with Indians , there is feeling of one and unity is great.
It is just that some things we do though they are insignificant , when we are reminded of them, they truly are worth doing it.

This is mostly me...:)
As a rule, Virgo is attracted to someone who possess good conversation skills. They love to talk and surround themselves with friends who are even-tempered, nonchalant, and intellectually stimulating.
If you're planning a date with a Virgo, try and avoid noisy places especially with lewd or obscene entertainment. The Virgo's reserved nature and insistence of good taste, would get more pleasure from a quiet restaurant with soft music playing in the background, than from a rock and roll concert. They would prefer a place where the two of you can talk. You'll probably find the Virgo to be very interesting and be able to discuss almost anything with them.
However, don't be in a hurry to jump right in and ask too much about their personal affairs, since they may find it to be an intrusion of privacy. It's a rare occurrence for a Virgo to hand out praise, so if you're looking for constant flattery, you may want to keep looking.
While on the contrary, if you're looking for advice or an opinion on a certain matter, the Virgo will gladly participate.
Virgo's are careful planners and are constantly seeking personal achievement and financial security. They won't put up with frivolous spending habits and won't jump into a serious relationship without looking ahead first. Most likely they are seeking a partner with practical ambitions exactly like themselves.
Once the Virgo has found someone worthy to share their life with, they will always be loyal and provide plenty of happiness. This responsible, sensitive, and intellectual person takes love very seriously.
Although they may appear aloof, and distant at times, they are very sensual and warm people. If you win them over, you will be more than rewarded with a prosperous and memorable life with them.

This is just the beginning,...
Friends.. Today after a long time went downstairs,helped a friend in making pasta,had food with friends.
I felt so good,leg pulling, cracking jokes,bitching each other.. It is lot of fun..
But here this happens occasionally. Though being quite social,I don't get into people unless somebody calls me for a get together and
that will not happen always unless you work with them or they really close to you.
I personally feel like for a person like me, it is really difficult to become close to people , may be because I don't ask questions or interfere
unless they speak out or that I maintain the distance ,not pouring all my things out or the trust doesn't develop so easily
or might have the fear of losing them,
These are the reasons may be why I couldn't make any best friends in my life..may be one or two in my school or collg,but now even they have got married
or their priorities changed.I think being friendly is different from making friends ,just to be friendly ..lots and loads of them ...
My neighbor asks me like why I am on the computer for most of my time ,but I then proudly say that "at least ,am not on the phone".
May be this is not too bad, you can engage yourself without bothering anybody
and I do connect with a lot of people and my family on the gtalk or orkut as most of them are quite active on it
and unless I think very deep,I don't feel bad.
Everyday is different and each day should make a person strong to stand anything in life
I sometimes think that , I desperately need a break but when the time between u finish one project and start on another, the mean time I could
never accept it as a break..I got frustrated,irritated.. couldn't speak to frnds or family properly.I made things hard for myself...
There were days when my dad told to just pack my things and come back but again.. things happen and life goes on with new opportunities..
and later I regret that I should have enjoyed that time which I don't really get easily.
I should really appreciate my cousin and my frnd Satish who took very good care of me without letting my will power down..having brought up in a protective and pampering environment,
having not seen so much of troubles,I was not able to take such a small thing in a light manner.
That's why they say u learn by experience...
Well all I can say is, we are not the people what we are yesterday neither we will not be same 2moro as we are now...
just that try to adjust to the surroundings..be easy with yourself and whenever ur time comes..just grab it and njoy it..
When you have people around ,enjoy,When they need any help... do ur best...
Try to develop a variety of interests..be adventurous
People say that , everything happens for a reason... So just wait and learn what life is teaching you.
Remember this is just the beginning... ;-)

Fortlauderdale.. WOW!!!!... awesome time
Today is a nice sunny day,I can see the snow melting standing near my balcony listening to beautiful Telugu ilayaraja songs.
When I started staring at the park which is opposite to my balcony and see nobody there.. I remember the days when I am in Florida
where it is full of life.. children play all the year round..flowers bloom,nice roses, hibiscus and I know some Indians do plant
mango trees and guava trees as well... nice green lawn beside a lake with ducks quaking.. big big fish at the sparkle of your eyes,
people often do fishing in their boats,bright sun..shadow giving trees..more importantly wonderful people around..Man I am missing it soooo much.
That place is full of life..If u are bored and have nothing to do.. just go the fortlauderdae downtown .. do nothing.. just see people around and
the shops, though I cant afford anything to buy as a small painting costs around $3000..I used to enjoy it,used to love walking through the roads till the beach...
There used to be a mall in a mile distance from the place where we live,I and my roomie used to walk to it almost every alternate days..
Here I cant even think of going for a walk as it is too cold..
But Denver is amazing in summer..all greenery around with snow cap mountains.. Man it is an awesome view.
I remember the days in Florida where me and my three other frnds without whom my stay would have been impossible, used to go to fortlauderdale
beach on the full moon days after finishing cold stone ice-cream sitting on the pavement in the parking plot, we used to sit on the big wall which is the entrance to beach and talk about nothing but everything in the world.. relationships..interests,career,movies,fun,plans for next weekend.. what not...seeing the dark sky ,the beach waters which is quite strong during the full moon day, the cool breeze of the coconut trees..that time there,we can easily get the feeling that we are in the different world..believe me, it is beautiful than Pandora...
Now I don't even want to go to Florida with anybody except these 3 guys... I just don't want to replace my memories ...they are soo beautiful...
I still remember the samosas in the Chinese restaurant beside the big lake..Miami downtown,woodlands, south beach,where we are in the sea for more than 5 hours getting badly tanned and getting lot of scodings from family and friends..daytona beach..sanibel beach, nasa,alligator alley, the cruise trip,sawgrass mall..
more importantly the Keywest trip during Hurricane warning..It was wonderful...
Sandhitha, Venkat, Vamshi.. Love u guys..will never forget u in my life..
Sandhita.. the top u have sent for me is the best ... Vamshi u r the God given gift... sweetest bro in the world.. Venkat.. need not say.. without u the fun wouldn't have been possible..u r awesome and charm of the team...
All of us.. almost having the same mentality.. always happening.. We never used say we r tired or some other time.. always chale chalo...
Love u guyz always...

Compromise...:(
Well, today is a boring day,expecially during the day time, but still ok.. I did househols chores, arranged my shelves..
did some yoga,talked to my mom and couple of friends int he evening.
All days are not alike.. sometimes more fun, sometimes it gets to be too serious..In life we dont get all we want,my parents say
that we have to compromise and they say that almost half of my life is finished and is just 30 or 40 years ahead and why think so much about this small life,
just accept watever u get and be happy.. but the 'compromise' always confuses me.. I know I have to compromise , but to wat levell is that
I couldnt decide on... somethings the things which I think are very important are useless in my parents view..
Am I wrong? are my parents correct?
What I feel is we both are correct in our views , the generation gap may be is the problem..,
Till now my parents havent restricted me in any instance.a.nd they did a lot for me... giving the best in class education ,a wonderful life,more importantly 'freedom'
complete motivation ...but now when it comes to marriage..which is the most important in my life..why there is a series of fights between parents and ,mself..
and this happens between every gal and and their family...
When such things happend I always thought that if I were a boy it would have been much more easier for me..
Is that am I thinking so muchor am I being rude to my parents.. I dont know..
All I think is each person has a different prority and u r lucky if u can proritize ur requirements in a right manner.

Want to change
After getting into tis software field... I lost all my good habits.. like reading books.. solving puzzles,news
I always wanted a come back and start reading again.. writing...
I think in last November , i started reading the lost symbol... still I didn't complete.. I started reading on the computer, then
stole the book from brother.. but it is just lying around.. i dint even touch it.
I wanted to stop orkutting for some days..
I just don't want to see some profiles.. but I still see them,..
Sometimes when I think of all these things ,
i question my will power or my self control and decide that I have to plan properly
do things which has to done and be a organized person bla bla bla
but the next day i get up, same story again..
Now that the weekend has come .. long weekend to be specific.. I think
after so many days I am feeling, man weekend.. Wat to do..
It is so boring that even my roomie went out and staying alone all the day doing nothing or so productive.. cant even go out.. it is freezing and very cold outside..
Man, I am just hating it..
But i know this will not continue for long.. lets hope for the best
.. hope I will try to change and become a person who is responsible and
be organized...and try to put things in order..:)

One of my Fav story
Stopped By A Brick
About ten years ago, a young and very successful executive named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his sleek, black, 12-cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child darted out, but a brick sailed out and -- WHUMP! -- it smashed into the Jag's shiny black side door! SCREECH...!!!! Brakes slammed! Gears ground into reverse, and tires madly spun the Jaguar back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown.
Josh jumped out of the car, grabbed the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on. "That's my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?"
"Please, mister, please...I'm sorry! I didn't know what else to do!" pleaded the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop!"
Tears were dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed around the parked car. "It's my brother, Mister," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the young executive tried desperately to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat.
Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long walk back to the sleek, black, shining, 12-cylinder Jaguar XKE - a long and slow walk.
Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention.
---- What a great story!
At times in our lives, we tend to become so wrapped up in other things. We become focused on ourselves or our job we do not realize there are others around us that need our help.
We can react in a negative way to a situation without fully realizing or taking the time to look at the other persons situation, or to take the time to find out the reason the other person has taken the action that they did.

At times in our lives, we tend to become so wrapped up in other things. We become focused on ourselves or our job we do not realize there are others around us that need our help.
We can react in a negative way to a situation without fully realizing or taking the time to look at the other persons situation, or to take the time to find out the reason the other person has taken the action that they did.

Feeling good..:)
oh Its Sunday again..
But this weekend is fun went ot movie.. bowling.. friend's place..
and temple on Sunday...
my weekend is little happening after a long time ,else in this winter , in this snow, man i cant stand this cold, i feel like sitting at home all the time cozy in my blanket.
With so many people , I realized today not only me , everybody has problems..
everybody gets upset with them and finally tomorrow is thr again..
Have patience and fight against the odds..everything will be OK..
But it feels so nice when your friend comes from some other to meet you, it never happened to me as such but when I see such type of people who travel for friends for having fun .. I envy them...warm hugs , recollection of past memories.. going out , that is what we can truly cherish.
ITs always good to have reunions with old friends which makes those moments special in our life.
I made it a point to meet school frnds in my engg holidays .. it continued till my engineering,but later on ambitions, jobs, higher studies couldnt make it again.Dont know when it will happen again..now that so many people ..school frnds, +2 frnds, collg frnds, old company's...but whom I want to meet?

Thinking Thinking Thinking...
Getting up late on Saturdays and having a nice cup of strong coffee sitting near my balcony...taking my own time to take the next sip..man,
I feel this is heaven...:)
After a long time , I went to shopping yesterday...don't know why , i just love to go to mall..
roaming around all the clothing stores, window shopping..where I am no exception to womanhood :), I say window shopping but every time
i end up buying something or the other...
even there just love to grab a coffee from Starbucks, go to the children play area and sit near the fountain watching
people ,kids..It makes me feel so relaxed...I get a feeling that I am not alone and there are plenty of things happening around..
When I have thought of writing.. I just thought no matter wat ever people think.. i write wat ever i want.
but now what I feel is , it is very difficult..I am just not getting any clue as of what to write..
kudos to all the novelists , writers.. wat patience they have and wat intellectual ability they possess and write..
Do they write for themselves or for us..
If it is for us man..I really appreciate their power to think what others would like... that is may be the only reason why they are so successful..
that hardwork really pays..
Well when i say thinking,... man... I can sit hours together doin nothing but getting lost in my thoughts.
There are days when I went to bed at 9 or so ,but didn't sleep till 3 am
I used to get frustrated on those days as i couldn't control my dreams or thoughts and I couldn't even sleep...
Many people suggested doing yoga helps for this.. But i never took it seriously.. now that I am realizing, may be I have to take up a good way to overcome this..
Sometimes I feel so happy dreaming as my dreams have a happy ending always...but on the other hand I am wasting a lot of time..
Imagining things is good but thinking so much about things which are not practically possible and thinking about those things when you know that they are
not going to happen for sure is not only a waste of time but when you realize that thye are not going to happen.. you start feeling sad.. depressed..
So guys Think a lot.. think about future.. think about the ways to achieve them.. But try to gain control over it.. work on it...
Be happy happy happy always...
I feel this is heaven...:)

My Laptop - my baby:good or bad...
ok..now comes the second one...
well today is gr8... well today i don't have so much work at office..
after all being human and more being Indian, when we think we r getting paid though we didn't do a lot..and when we think that we are getting something for free... man... we enjoy that thought a lot though that will not last for long...:(
After coming to United states and now that I am comfortably settled( "I dont know really what comfortable means'),as soon as I come from work... first thing i do is switch on my laptop...
Whole of my day except for 7 or 8 hours i sleep , I spend rest all of my time with it..
it just became part of my life... i dont think I can live without internet for a moment also...
I just get irritated.. frustrated if at all my my internet connection is lost for a while..
I see this happening not only to me but to many youngsters these days that too more importantly for people staying abroad...
Is this addiction really good...is it really healthy... r we connecting to the world.. or disconnecting from people
are we gaining a lot of knowledge or just wasting time on it...
Well to me ,it is a source to pass my time..may be this would change in couple of months or years...
I say start realizing this... think about alternative ways...there must be something more that excites you than playing farm ville alone on ur computer..now that I don't give you the list if things u can do... guys think...choose...Can we get out of this.. or are we good the way we are now...or is this all we can do to engage our selves..
Life change.. priorities change... more importantly people change...So what ever you are now... what ever habits we posess now..we r human... a person...everything is susceptible to change....and remember every time this change should make us a better human being...:)

Started putting my thoughts into words
Hi guyz..
finally started writing..i always wanted to write...but couldnt make it anytime , may be because of not knowing what to write... or maye fear that somebody would say what all I have written is crap..or I not that bold enough to write my thoughts...
But today I started..I wanna give it a try...I want to put down all my thoughts...
lets see how my first blog goes...
Today I see the calendar and its already Feb,lovers season...All love birds busy shooping for their loved ones...but once I thought about the gifts, I remember my school days and collg days where we really meant and gave the gifts.... we shopped for our dear ones...I remember it when one of my frnd bday... and we went down all the streets for the poster of Ajit Agarkar as she is a big fan of him...and finally managed to get it in one small shop after several hours...and it was so much fun.... and the feeling as if I have got a million dollar prize when I got it...I will never forget it and when I saw my frnd's eyes sparkiling with happiness when she got the one shereally wanted... wow....I felt soo good...proud of myself... But now...we hardly knw the preferences and tastes of our friends... we give gift cards on birthdays.... i never remmeber putting a reminder for my frnd' s bday... but now we hardly remember what day it is....Most if the times.. for me.. it happens like.. I remember my frnd's bday .. but dont wish her coz...i dont know the wht is the date today.....Why this is happening... r we so busy with our lifes that we dont have time for anybody else...Cant we make small small occassions special...
Well.. remembering ocassions and making moments special is in our hands...a sweet smile ... a nice hug...can make us feel special..,..
When ever u feel lonely.. neglected..just try to recall all the moments from your childhood ...try to recall you childhood frnds.. collg frnds... the work groups whom you have enjyed the most with...try to get in contact .... spend some time with people....
Thanks to the internet which helped us to keep in touch where ever we are....
Work .. goals.. aims... aspirations...all are necessary..but aceving all these would be more easy if u are happy...if u have good friends and famiy whose constant support hlp you to reach the heights...
Guys , its is our hands to be happy ...so enjoy every moment... talk to people.. openup to your family....
Do what ever you want.. As long as it doesnt hurt anybody... u r good...
