Kanda Naal Mudhal...

Week long vacation had me glued onto my comp with varieties of Movie-watching punctuated by frequent meet with friends, few being smart ones :-).

From the past year, I am somehow very eager to watch Tam movies, esp those typical aggressive masala movies. No need to say, most of them being T K or Thalaivar starrer. This week I got to watch a movie titled "Kanda Naal Mudhal" by accident, as my so-called friend in the VCD bar suggested me to watch this. The posters looked very enticing with Laila at her cutest.

It was worth heeding to the advise. The movie was a true refresher away from the "long-macchuu-arivaal" class of Tam movies. Although the storyline isnt so strong, but clear realistic portrayal of events which sounds very true in nature and nice screenplay takes the movie to the "next-level".

Two young kids who start fighting in a marriage hall grow up separately to meet after almost a decade to lock horns against each other. Prasanna and Laila have done what they are best known for. Laila as an acrid caustic gal impresses. It is all about how a gal and a guy start-off being the worst of enemies, slowly transform their relationship into "trust-depend-on-each-other" friendship by ongoing incidents. The incidents which occur between them gives in a true natural touch away from the imaginary cinematic story.

The facial antics of cutiee Laila is truly luring to watch. Must-Watch movie for people who need some enthralling moments after days of hard-work :D And yeah, impressive comeback for Laila. She rockssssss...Cute Gal keeps on slapping a guy and still IT goes on, thats the CHEMISTRY one should possess in an intimate relationship :-). Although, I am in awe for the movie, I still dont understand what the title means :-(. Can some1 guide me :D


One more Year added to history pages. Its been a most memorable year in terms of sad days, relationships, success, career etc., making it a perfect blend of what Life is all about. Hope the year ahead is filled with all the happiness and true-sincere wishes are awarded in due time . Happy New Year to all of you. May GOD bless you all with Health, wealth and eternal happiness.

Finally...

me back home with an immense satisfaction that I could DO IT again and an thirst to achieve more :-). Landed in Mumbai late night, and the next day was an awesum experience. What better way to spend your time with these 2 cute naughty kids.. too good

Kritinesh (Kriti) with his ever-fighting sis Mithali (Mitu)

How I wish I could get the brats with me to bangalore :-)

Physical assault and Murder of a woman working in a prestigious BPO company based out of Bangalore, has completely shattered the image of a city, which took pride in terming itself the BPO CAPITAL(safest) of India. This incident will surely send out a totally negative image of the city. BPO Career-aspiring female youngsters will now think "n" times to take up this Career or their close kins would surely make them do it.

There could be many such "BPO-related" incidents: mid-night robberies, unwanted intimate talks etc., Should the big BPO companies take the reponsibility or the local administration or leave it to the people who undergo the trauma?

The rash-driving of the BPO cab-drivers has always been a concern, esp., on Hosur Road, which leads to an array of BPO companies. And to multiply to traffic woes, Companies which give the cab drivers a very tight schedule to pick up their employees. Night-Driving is not anymore safe in Bangalore with the increasing number of BPO "Sumos". Some of the Cabs dont even display the org anisationNames. Utmost few of these displaying a BIG alphabet. Isnt this at the earnest of the Company? And the placard which they specify about Rash-Driving, GOD alone knows if the numbers in them exists or is properly monitored. Shouldnt the respective RTO take notice of this ?

Does company-Operations verify before giving these Transport contracts to the "trusted authorised" agents ? And if any sort of cost-cutting schemes are brought in such contracts, for sure, Bangalore is up for more such heinous acts. This disgraced act could open up a plethora of shortcomings in the working of a BPO company.

Hope this is the last of such incidents to be heard. And it acts as an alarm to the companies to look into their Transport policies and implement them at the sole interest of safeguarding their employees. After all, employees are the moolah for all the "bottom-line" and "top-line" of these companies.

The Protests being held by all the BPO employees at Bangalore should send out a clear message to the concerned authorities and the guilty should be punished. Hope GOD provides all the strength/power to come-out of this to the family/friends of the deceased.

We were Branded..

Early days of my First Semester-Engineering, travelling alone, in the 6.30-Bangalore-Shimoga Express, I was cribbing why should I travel to some odd place miles away from Bangalore to do my Bachelors :-). Suddenly, something related to Internals struck me. Since I had seen few of my classmates board the train, felt like asking them about it. There was this arrogant,as if "slap-him-hard-kind-of-looking" guy who was also travelling alone. Had noticed him in my class for his "right-on-time-to-the-classroom" behaviour. He gave some vague reply which did not auger well to my question. I never thought that chat would lead to an never-ending relationship with him. Thanks to our adverse individual traits. TVP, was the one who gave me the gyaan of Internals. As in they were not for studying Books, its more of "Smart-Study" (studying MQP - Model Question Papers). Gyaan worked wonders in early days, gradually got faded off as days went-by.

I am not sure of my first talk with SVP (spelt SV, hereon). Whatever I remember of him it would have been to ask him of some Notes. He was this studious, "10-minutes-before-Class-starts" guy, which jantaa could notice easily. He always use to occupy the corner seat, which was also the favourite of Your's Truly- so that I could aaram-se stretch my legs and be in comfort. (Un)Fortunately, when I entered his room, it was like one small hidden library. At first sight, I felt like running away from there. Whenever, I wanted to have some time-off, I used to flick his favourite `CHIP` magazine. He would be cursing me for that till date.

One fine day, I forced TVP to accompany me to his room. There were 2 beds and on one of them, some fat guy was sleeping tight. I frequented his room for 2-3 days and always saw this fatty hitting his bed hard. Finally, the Darshan of our great AK happened and he gloated leaps and bounds about his sleep. I was perplexed to hear that, as Engineering students took praise in publicing how less they slept. Since I did not stay in the Hostel, I met AK last of the three as he was not a part of my branch then.

First year of Engg, was a pass-through, with one pulling the other with their numbers in the Report Card. Enter AK, to our branch and things started changing gradually. There was this uncanny blend of 4 aggressively-cautious people, who were trying to lead in the curriculum. Around Sem 4-we had a Group Project. We enthusiastically coined a term in the Project Report, which then went on to become OUR identity through the campus. Brand P3A was coined.

It jelled so well within the campus, that juntaa started to name their project groups. As always, we led in all the curriculum activities. Profs, Lecturers made it a point to take our insight to which Optional Subjects to opt-for. That was truly amazing stuff. It was purely because P3A was the love of the class and mates around respected us to the core (Though there were exceptions). The bond went to a certain extent that, we decided it would be four members only (and its family in due course). P3A came out in flying colours, when the final semester was done.

The four pillars has always taught something or the other to the group and have contributed immensely to the BRAND image. For which, even after 3 long years, Profs back in our Institute, take notice of P3A.

After a pale intial period, each person has achieved much more than expected. But,theres always the thirst for gyaan. The dream of P3A´s own successfull venture, should come true in few years down the lane. Hopefully, with venture capitalists(in India) being aggressive and P3A having the right attitude, it WILL happen.

Guys, we rocked our Bachelors, Hope we do so in our Professional/Personal life and set an example. Though, there were some microscopic fissures, we never let it hamper our success story. Hope those are cemented eternally as and when it appears. Been almost 3 years into our Professional life, lets take a toast(no alcohol only fruitified H2O) in the name of P3A - 3 Cheers to P3A.. Hip Hip..

AK, TVP, SVP

Show Never Ends, Lets take it further.........

True friends remain friends forever,
Go away from you all I will never.

Grateful to God I'm

As friends We've triumphed.
True friends remain friends forever.

Pakku getting a bit senti. Yep, as Pakku's World is a bit senti and mental too. I myself dont know, if I would add my NL trip in the Part-2 of the above.

Yesterday, got to hear from my ex-colleague at TIBCO that PB 5.x got GAed. The project I spent most of my career-time till date, was released. Felt really elated. Unfortunately, the drastic changes in the product features, makes me ineligible to put the same in my CV :(

Success !!

Good Morgen Sir...

On a warm sunny morning, clad in a cool-looking casual attire, with a sporty sunglass, I am driving through the Outer Ring Road in Bangalore. Shaking my body to the song from Geri haliwell, with no tensions in life, feeling totally happy I suddenly stop my Car. Park the Vaahan in The Forum parking lot and take my bagpack from the back seat and rush towards the front-entrance of the mall. There I am greeted from my pet-pals, P2A. Everyone greeting me on the special occasion and reading through. Hand shakes/Long Hugs all around. I am all smiles and feeling totally elated.

Teddy forces me to watch a movie at the PVR, in his typical kannada accent "Miyaan.. idella level bedaa, sumne picture nodonaa baa". Me at the usual diplomatic best, convey that I have lots of pending work todo for the Big occasion. Requesting them to come with their family ;-) to the place. Hurriedly, I make myself out of the mall and reach the parking lot to pick my vaahan. Humming to the songs being played, I am not at all frustrated at the huge traffic jam near the Forum. I am just making myself feel cool, with a sip of Mineral water. Finally reach L's place, convey my regards to her. And out comes that flashy rectangular paper frame. She is all smiles and greets me for the big occasion. KP cracks a joke in tulu. Bye Bye L and KP.

Reach S's home. Greeted warmly by her parents and her sis. They convey their warmest regards and Congratualatory remarks all around the space. Enroute back to home, keep calling all my friends to convey the same. Get to meet the sweetooo M ;).. she conveys her regards and assures she would be there to wish me before I fly to Mauritius.

The D-Day arrives. After all the early-morning poojas, I am totally tired. But still the occasion is not yet done. Reach the place of union. Although, I am totally tired bythen, but my physical posture is totally brimming with Self-esteem, happiness, dignity and what-not. My side of people are well-received by the other side. My parents are totally happy and it was showing in the way they greeted the guests.

I am sitting in my room, being made the "bakra of the Day" by my p2a friends all through. Smiles all around the place, unfortunately at my cost. So all the final touch-ups to my physical appearance are done by my sis. And here I go, escorted by my jeeju (as it is a custom) to that divine space in the vestibule. When I see the surround, I see people all around and all their eyes are on me as I step
forward. I make myself comfortable with the small rectangular wooden plank seat. The people from the sacredotal category are reciting all the available sanskrit words. My eyes are almost in tears, due to the outcome of the burning of those sacred leaves.

Suddenly, I feel a push from the sideways. Oops, one more person had to be accomodated in that small place. I make gestures of moving to the opposite direction :-). I am just hoping that the tears wouldnt trickle down from my eyes. All of a sudden, the Nadaswaram in the background increases the pitch and people encircle the fire. My sister gives me the divine strand of blackish/goldenish bands. I remove the joint of the strand, gently lift her chin and tie the same to her already Gold-studded neck. People around are all throwing the "Akshathe", as if they were waiting for the moment to pelt me. greetings all around the place. As a "modest-shy" person, I gently twist my left-eye to see HER. I am stunned and in total exaggerration I punch the air with utmost force. As a result of which, the knot which was tied to the pallu of her saree, to my shawl loosens itself and my sis ties it tight again. It was my marriage... my wedding day and the bride was her.. yeah it was Her.. buoy the same lady whom I admired all through seeing her virtually. It was the most enticing lady, T K.. Greetings all around.. Trrrinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg..... Good Morning Sir, Its Thursday 7 am, the Breakfast is ready for you. Could you please make your way to the lobby?

Back to Room No. 28 - BARK Hotel, Den Bosch, Nederlands :(

Material World..

Lord Krshna in one of the verses in the eternal BhagVadGeetha mentions "You come alone to this KarmaBhoomi, you are packed off alone then why do you cribb for living your life alone". True, to the core. I always vied for Happiness all through. Sometimes, internal Happiness, but most of the time material happiness. But, when you start thinking of why I need to get all those material benefits, I have no answer. Still, I am running around to make the best use of this life too be the owner of those materials, which on one day will not be mine. The only thing which I can proudly own is my Soul

I do have a lot of free time after work. And to my total dismay, I have become a ardent admirer of one lady's act. True, it is timepass job. But, the spiritual tissues in my body make me read through many of such works. This one was one among the good articles I found. These kind of articles always make me think away from the materialistic world. What they say as True Happiness!!

Now back to the KarmaBhoomi, full of frustration and "joy".
