I have driven Pulsor (^!^)

I have driven Pulsor today at MMTS... Actually, it is not new that I have driven a bike... I drove once in Vizag on beach road early morning. That was the first time I drove... some how, I was fully confident and very cooool; After a small accident on Kinetic Honda, I lost my confidence; And I want to get it back...
Today I just tried. Initially I sruggled a bit... but after that I drove as a queen :) Ofcourse, Balu was sitting back and guiding me...
Still I dont have confidence in traffic... Should get use to it...
Initially, I was wondering how many things to handle while driving on bike... clutch, gear, break, accelerator... hmmm... but as said 'practice makes a man perfect', it is not a big deal after few trials
I got some satisfaction that I tried something :)

Morning walk@Jogger's park :)

Its been so long since I wrote a post... I dont say I am busy... but so many small things in my mind are not going for implementation these days... hmmm... thats bad!!! But some things happen without any prior plannings... and thats cool... Saturday morning... me,balu,siri,ravikishore went to Jogger's park. That was very lovely!! we enjoyed as much as we walked..had taken nice snaps...but still waiting for them to see in system:( . These people are real guys... no intrest in photos :/
We saw music director Manisharam... we dont know why, he was staring at us! We had a joke among ourselves that we wll go to him and say "If u dont mind..., (he would be almost ready to say yes thinking that we wanna have a snap with him...) Can you take a snap for us" :)

Musty Twenty20

What an excitement Twenty20 has given!!! especially for Indians... This format is really cool..., colorful with dances, crackers; cheerful with fours and sixes...

Though it is not a proper way of deciding one's capability, it provides ultimate entertainment for cricket lovers...

And about India...each match is a sensation...I watched every match except the one with New zealand (thats why they lost ;))...

First match with pakistan...I couldnt bear the tension till last ball and when it was tie...I was like "Enough". But then started bowl outs...It was like checkde movie (I watched before the match was started that day)...It was too good to see Sehwag, bajji, uthappa hitting the wickets and uthappa's act of expressing happiness with his cap is unforgettable...

Match with England... Youraj's six sixes in an over is marvelous... and it is a good victory

Then with South Africa...Expectations were very low for India for this match...but to every one's surprise, it went into semifinals knocking out south africa from tournament...

With the champions in semifinals, expectations were there but somewhere some fright. Finally...we took over the victory. It was really great upon India to beat them and went into finals...

And the finals...it was really like a dream India and Pakistan meeting in finals of WorldCup...These are the real rare moments which wont come once more...

What a tension every one had in the last over!! we couldnt dare to watch the channel when Pakistani's were hitting fours and sixes; we changed to some other channel. Whenever we heard whistles,shouts from next building, we kept the match and shouted with no limits. In last over, match was almost into the hands of Pakistan but catch in the third ball gave us the victory...

Defeating Pakistan...and getting World cup...what a great thing!!! The best celebrating moments for a country...

Dhoni is so special in this...he is a very good leader...and overall it is a team effort.

I enjoyed the whole series a lot... And ofcourse Indians being champions is the best moment.

Matches getting tighter in last overs resulting in lot of tension...For me that is the exciting part in this twenty20. This format is not good enough to judge one's capability as it is very instant...but good entertainer for 3 hours...

Waiting for Sekhar kammula's movie...

Till now, I just thought Sekhar Kammula is a very good director. But when I read his profile, I came to know... that he is much dare to dream and confident enough to achieve them inspite of his background...I really got inspired by reading his profile. After reading his profile, I understood money is not a stopper/problem in achieving our dreams...

...and coming to his work, he is really briliant. He looks up the things differntly and thats where his talent lies. I truly want to watch his first film "Dollar dreams" but I couldnt find any source. He has won national award for that movie...

And his two commercial telugu movies..."Anand" and "Godavari" are awesome...
We can see how life goes...small small things which give happiness...sensitive emotions...I am not getting words to explain...Those movies are really fresh and different from normal movies. Songs and Kamalini's performance have added up good flavour to these two movies...It is very much difficult to make these kind of movies than normal formula movies...

"Anand"...oka manchi coffee lanti cinema...

...lives upto it's quotation. It is a movie of showing people of different charcters and behaviours. All the things appear like happening in the next door...It is a combination of smiles, cries, sweet nothings, friendship, love. It is all about people...,life...

"Godavari"...ee vesavi chala challa ga vuntundi...

...It is a beautiful love story...that happens in a pleasant journey on Godavari river from Rajamandry to Badrachalam...Very lively background music makes us enjoy the movie..;Hearing up the thoughts of dog is hilarious... and character of small boy pleases...
"Ramachakkani seethaki" song which is used as background is too good...What a pleasant song it is!!...It is one of my favourites...I never feel bore how many ever times I listen to it.

In the both the movies, the characterization of heroine is excellent...very independent...infact attracts more than hero but not dominating. Listening to songs of both the movies gives immense pleasure...

Sekhar kammula is a proven director with his first film itself... and now his movies became branded... I heard that his next movie is "Happy days" which deals with the college life...
...College life is the best part of anyone's life that can be remembered forever...which adds up lot sweet memories...and I am very excited to watch how Sekhar is going to show it with his kind of presentation...

Awaiting for a good movie which gives feel of life...with enjoyable songs...

In this post, there are words like plesant, feel, emotions, life, love, good, music used many times... and thats what Sekhar Kammula's movie consists of...

He is really a great director and I wish he would continue making movies of good sense... and he would be successful in his life...

I would be always awaiting for his movies...

TV9 vs Etv2

Etv2 and Tv9 exclusive 24 hours telugu news channels...with some intresting programs...These channels can be watched any time as they mostly talk about current hapenings. I just gave a thought which one is better among them...

Special programs:
Tv9 is far better if we look at the special programs it is providing. "Hot Wheels","Buisiness Watch","Close Encounters","Spandinche hrudayam","Entho chinnadi jivitham","30 minuites", "spotlight","insight","evaro okaru epudo apudu","Question of hour", "Lifeline". All these programs are very intresting. "Spandinche hrudayam" program is like doing something for the society. The hearts of people in the program can really sense it. Even Etv2 has some good programs like "sakhi","prathidvani","margadarsi", "Sukhibahava", "Yuvabharath". But all those are little bit passive compared to TV9.

Almost all programs of TV9 are based on current topics and are made very intresting. They are going to come up with another program called "Samskruthi" and I am eager to watch it. Tv9 caption "For a better society" is being justified by its programs.

For Ladies:
I should talk about "sakhi" program in Etv2. It is really wonderful program. I like it a lot. I dont miss it whenever possible. In Tv9, there is one program for ladies i.e. "Naveena" which I hate the most. The approach of that program is like "woman should be treated equal to man". But it doesn't make much sense. They say like this "No one gets shocked if a man smokes. But if a woman smokes, why people magnify it?".Smoking itself is a bad thing and treatment of a woman is different in Indiam culture. I was suprised to hear that topic. They use to give an add on this program which "plays jokes on woman stitching, cooking and watching serials". Woman should grow, adapt into various fields but she can still stitch, cook food. Basic instinct shouldnt be lost. Those things are part of a woman life. Woman should be respected...Thats what I agree with. I just dont like the concept of this program.

If we see the concept of "Sakhi", it covers various things like "cooking", "money management","soft skills","corporate cultures","Gardening","Interiors" etc...

Coverage:
Coming to coverage of news...both the channels are almost same. I observed that Etv2 covers more international news than Tv9.

Presentation:
Presentation of news is more lively in TV9. But the worst thing is it unnecessarily highlights unimportant news which grabs attention of viewers. Presentation is more inclined to get commercial gain and attract viewers in all possible ways. Etv2 is moderate in it. It can make presentation more lively.

"Neralu goralu (ETv2)" and "Crimewatch(Tv9)" dont score any points; "Citylife(ETv2)" and "Entertainment News(TV9)" score equal points.

Totally TV9 is attracting the people regardless of good or bad. Evt2 should give a zippy presentaion to give a good competition to TV9.

Great change...

Great change is that ..... I started learning COOKING


Today morning, I cooked for myself and brought in dabba for lunch...Though it is not delicious, atleast "I can" have it. Hope I continue this. This is big change for me. I started learning cooking which is going to become part of my life. I want to get ease of doing that.

I made tomato+bringal curry.

My target is to learn variety items which are not cooked regularly. Soups,Restaurant items etc.. and make ambrosial food for my people. I know, I have to take many steps to go for that...

Following Ammamma.com

I hate TV serials which involve bringing up all possible and impossible problems and run for years and years...
When I went home last time, I caught up with an add of new serial called 'Ammamma.com' in Maa TV. The title itself led up some interest in my mind. It is really different with two unrelated words... For this generation, both are two different endpoints...

And the fact that title song is written by sirivennala excited me. It starts with "ee daramo pampande vellade aa mabbu daka galipatam" sung by Keeravani. Tune is so nice and picturisation of song is also good. It shows the variations that take place in a woman's life right from her birth...

First episode was good. I am watching it whenever possible...Till now, I liked it. It is little bit slow but natural and matches with reality;hilarious too. Hope it continues like that and wont become a typical daily serial with unusual turning points; tempestuous and depressing scenes;running for generations and generations

Reminiscence of 2 years in wipro

Wipro - My first company...Really I should thank Wipro for giving me first chance. Two years in Wipro went very fast...and July 4rth(2007) was the day which made me to call back last two years and I want to put those here.

First day...came with my father to Madhapur Office; met my classmates after a long gap. I was completely observing everyone and everything in the induction time. It was like coming out of well for me. All new people from different colleges...I had Sireesha with me until we were divided into batches for training. Initially, I felt boring in training... as there was no good company... But it just went on smoothly...There were some intresting people in my batch. I have a habit of categorizing people. Intresting people are those I have some thing to learn from them. After training, assessment...it created some frustation but was an happy ending.
After that, enjoyed few weeks before putting into project. It was bad that Sireesha was in QP. We would have enjoyed lot more if we were at same place.

I was temporarily put into a project for 2 days where I had a nice time with the PM. He was also from krishnaLanka, Vijayawada. So, we had a lot to chat. There was a good kinship in just those 2 days...and only for 2 days.

There happened many things between me and kanak relating us. In induction, we both were asked to give introduction of each other. In assessment, we both got same paper and finally we were into same project. It was so nice with kanak. she is so cool with good attitude. Me, kanak and Bhargav use to go for coffee very often. Initially I was haapy that work was easily understandable and able to do comfortably without any problem...But later I realised that I am not going to gain much from that. The very best thing about the project is the team, people I worked with. It becomes another topic if I write about them. In around 20 months experience in that project, I didnt have any bad instances as well as impressing. It went on flat. There was lot of awaiting to get released from the project...In that 20 months, I might have worked seriously for 12 months. After that project, I was trained for next project for 1 month and it was so nice that I enjoyed as well as gained good knowledge. Currently working in that....

I am growing...

Hey....I am not a complain girl. Infact I have grown enough of 5'7 height. I am gonna talk about positive growth in my attitude...


In last 6 months, I see a lot of change in my attitude and I am very happy for that. I gained lot of confidence.
Earlier I use to have a quote on my desktop "Anything is difficult before it is easy". It is very much true. Once we face anything, next time it becomes very easy. If I look back for which I felt difficult, it looks so silly. Some of the things were really silly. I was in trouble for such silly sthings...it is just because I havent experienced them in the right time. I hadnt taken a chance before for those. But now, I feel so happy when I am going to face any new challenges because I will be gaining experience on one more thing.

I watched an interview of hero Venkatesh where he said "It is very important to grow internally...but people postpone it and after retirement, they think over it. By that time, death will be right a side". When I think of myself in this regard, I feel I am good enough. There has been a lot of improvement... But there are certain things which I need to improve on. Being balanced on recieving comments and compliments; controling emotions on bad or good happenings.


Though I studied in English medium, I didnt get a chance to talk in English. No...I should say "I didnt take a chance to talk in English". We didnt have much complusion that we have to talk in english. There are two things about any language- Learning and Practcing. Learning was done inadvertently during academic period. But practing started only when it became necessary. Keeping learning and practcing a side, I should admit that I use to hesitate to talk in English. But now...it became part of my life. I dont have any kind of hesitations now and also improved a lot. I use to concentrate while talking and try to control myself so that I wont go wrong. I am able to reduce the need of concentration and in coming days, I am sure that I dont have to concentrate at all. The rate of learning is fast. I am still working good enough to Learn and practice English. Blogging helps me a lot in this. This learning will go forever...

Lot more to write...

Goodness in being Happy

In my view, a good person not also makes others happy but also makes himself happy. This is the concept of this post...

Being happy is the ultimate goal of everyone in life. It comes from many sources. When we share love with someone, when we achieve something etc.We feel happiness when something good happens...

But..."Goodness in being happy" is as much true as "Happiness in being good".
We do good in our life...but it is equally important to be happy in our life. You are good enough if you keep yourself happy. Life is very valuable. We should enjoy every moment of it. It is not that we can be happy if we dont have problems. We cannot avoid problems at all. There is no life without problems. Inspite of problems, we should be happy.
If we have any problem, just think practically...what can be done? We think in all possible ways for a solution...If we dont find any, what is the best thing to be done? We have to accept the consequences, and have to ignore the problem...so that we would feel happy for rest of the things and enjoy our life.
Is it not bad to worry about the pains for which there is no solution to avoid it and wasting valuable time/life? Also that effect will be there on our fellow beings/well wishers...

It is good to ignore them at our best.

So...Don't waste time on thinking about pains/worries/upsets...try to forget slowly...and enjoy life...

1)Be satisfied with what you have.

2)Don't compare yourself with others.

These two things will get rid of feelings (like jealousy,envy) which eat up your happiness. It is nothing but being good, right!!.

You can achieve anything only when you are happy...

Be a good person by being happy which in turn makes others happy...

This is what I have been praticing in my life...

Do good and be happy...It makes you perfect...

My life in Software Industry

I have very less experience in Software industry i.e. 20 months. Till now I am very happy in this. May be I havent faced the cons of the industry, great challenges yet and I dont know anything about other industries, I am still positive towards it.

The first thing most people look in their jobs is "Salary"--Money they are being paid and thats the best thing in this industry. Good numbers in the payslip every month keeps the smile. Hikes increase its curve.

Enjoyable weekend...Working people really deserve a 2 day weekend. It is common in other countries...but not in India. Five days of working week runs away very fast and two days of weekend gives an enough break to relax. Thats a good time to cover many things... spending with family/friends, shopping, sleep etc...Those two days keep up feeling that I have a good life.

I see a small India around in the office: People from different states, different cultures work together. It is somehow exiciting. I go for lunch with my friends. Each one is from different state. We have specific and at the same time general topics to chat.

Getting lot of information sitting in chair:
I have full internet access in office and any any silly doubt/topic I get I can get lots of information into my eyes. Not only information...lot of entertainment. I open news, social network sites, blogs, discussion forms. I listen to songs...having coffee...reading some exciting news. But remember it is possible when Iam in free pool or in project which needs less of my mind.

I didnt write about my work here...till now it is very easy.
I know I haven't savour right work yet...Hope I will get it soon and one day I will write unhappily nagging about the industry.
