After the crazy night, Reshma left for her PG quite early. Since I was awake then, I thought up going out to buy something for breakfast. On the way, I decided to prepare Biriyani for the lunch. I was about to prepare that probably for the first time in my life! I got all the ingredients for that happy menu. After having a delicious breakfast of French Toast, we (Me and Mouli) went out to get chicken. It took me almost one and a half hours to prepare that... but then that was really really tasty (seriously... you can ask Mouli for confirmation ;)). After lunch, Reshma came and we thought of completing that Telugu movie, we left halfway. Just after 30-45 mins, Santosh called and asked us to come to Forum. Mouli too joined us, for she had to do some shopping (but ultimately I landed up shopping!) We were hungry by then and so went to KFC but seeing the queue of the waiting persons, we dropped the plan. Then we made our way to Pizza Hut and McDonald's there which also had the same condition. The frustration has reached to heights by then and finally we chose Pizza Corner which luckily had space in it! We reached home at around 9:30 and started our theater which played Mohabbatien... one of my all time favorite movies. In the meantime, we finished the leftover Biriyani of the lunch. After Mohabbatein, we completed the Telugu movie too. I was about to start a new movie, but then I was too tired to go for that. Dejected and tired, I went to sleep. The next day was Sunday and was meant to be spent wisely... without getting exhausted! So we went for shopping in the morning... and after lunch, sat infront of the system watching movies... one after another! What a wise way to spend a Sunday at home!
Hope my weekends remain special as always!
A mountain is not higher than our confidence. It will be under our feet, if we reach the top..!!

Weekend Special ..!!
Crazy Dinner Party ..!!
As I have always said, my Friday evenings are always crazy... so here's one more instance of that! I was really really happy that day... my Chuku's results were out and she did well. Also some problems at home were cleared, hence it was really a moment for me to celebrate. Santosh came and we (Me and Reshma) went with him to the laptop repair shop, where I have given my laptop for repairing (that's the only thing about which I worry, till now). A dinner was already planned beforehand... but the venue was not decided. We decided to go for Chinese first, but then again we wanted to go to some Indian restaurant... finally we landed up at the Pizza Hut. That was just to energize ourselves till we reach Koramangala. On the way, we planned to have our dinner at Kohinoor. We reached there, ordered Soups and had it happily. When it came for the turn to order the main course, unfortunately there was no prawns for Reshma. So we just paid for the soup and came out. Then finally we decided for the Chung Wah and had a cool dinner there over noodles and prawns! So the dinner was completed by visiting three different places... so crazy we are!
The craziness still continued..!! Reshma stayed at my place and we planned for a movie... 3 Idiots. That was hilarious, the movie is such that, whenever you see, you will laugh out loudly! It was over at around 2:30 AM or so and we started another movie, a Telugu one (cherishing college days). We finally went to sleep at around 3:30 AM leaving the movie halfway. I started my music player, the instrumental one in making me sleep! Reshma and me both shared the ear phones and slept happily :) The music continued till morning and I realized that while getting up :) I am really happy for making my Friday evenings crazy! Thanks friends, for making that possible even!
If pressure in life seems like crushing you down, then think of a crushed grape that produces the best wine..!!

Unforgettable 21st ..!!
Time and tide waits for none! Exactly a year back, I was in college... appearing the last exam of my last semester. So many things were in my mind then... would be going home... friends would be away... no fun... no parties... no outings... no class bunks... no strikes... no rebellions... no late night chats or conversations... no late night movies... no more rain dances... no more chit-chats and many more! Life was about to take a different mode then... I was about to be involved in more higher objectives of life, but the memories of that day and the days preceding are still in my mind! That day, we (Me and Reshma) had decided to visit all our loved places for the last time during the tenure of 4 years of our college life. The whole visit was really nice... but there was a surprise package for us and that was the farewell party by Anurag (about which I mentioned before here)! That was just amazing and probably that was the last time when we (Me, Aadi, Reshma and Anurag) were together. The moments are still fresh in my mind... those friendly gestures over sweets and chocolates... the 'mission-mango' and everything was really wonderful. AID Site was chosen as the location, a place which is really dear to me... for I have spent some quality time of my life there only.That visit to AID Site was my best visit ever... I was with all my loved ones!
Aadi, Reshma & Anurag... thanks a lot for making that day so special! It's been a year now but the memories which you people have given me will be with me forever. I wish I could re-live those moments again, with you all... I really wish..!!
Today, 21st May... after one year, many things have changed! I have been working for almost a year... friends have started their new life, all busy with themselves... haven't seen Aadi and Anurag since a long time (one year is also a long time)... my Chuku is out of college now, preparing for her new life to start... all my friends are away and many more..!! But all the same, wherever you go, whatever you are... memories are forever yours! Thanks a lot, for blessing me with these unforgettable memories!
Nothing in this world is permanent, except change..!!

My Sweetest Chuku ..!!
Being 5 years younger than me, Chuku always would bring all her problems, tensions, confusions before me and I try to give her the best solution ever. I have seen her from her infancy through childhood and from childhood through her teens and each time I have loved her even more than before! We had fights, quarrels, arguments as is common between siblings but then, we had a quick patch up too. I really love the way she quarrels with me... I love the way she used to beat me (I wonder if the reverse is true too ;)). I love the way she behaves and talks and take cares. After leaving home, the one whom I miss more than anyone else is Chuku! She has become my informer... would relate me each and every happenings at home/in family, along with her own added thoughts, comments and feelings. She would also try to console me in the best possible way, so that I won't be too tensed. I really enjoy hearing that last part and keep wondering, how my sweet, little Chuku has grown up so fast! Now it's time for her to enter into a professional world and I am really really anxious about that... how would she manage all that? Being the youngest one in the family, she has been everyone's dear and favorite.. how will she bear the hard situations of the forth-coming life? May God bless her with all the strength she requires to sustain a successful life (She really believes that my prayers for her are always true. Hope this would be one too!). Chuku's presence in my life is the best gift I have ever received! Thanks a lot, God!
Love you Chuku, always and forever!
Some defeats are sweeter than victory but life is so short to realize this..!!

Sailing In The Titanic ..!!
It's been quite a long time (almost a year) that I have left my place... my college and my friends and not forgetting the fun filled moments! Life here is monotonous. Thankfully, friends are there who cheer me up, when I am out of my mood. Because of these friends, my life has changed a lot here... am no longer struck with the same boring life... I can always plan something... I can really go for all sorts of crazier activities which otherwise would have seemed difficult. Working the whole week, my mindset changes, hence am left with the weekends to recharge myself. Last weekend, I had a feeling of re-living the past days. Yes, I planned for a movie night! There were days when I had seen 4-5 movies continuously from dusk till dawn and also there were times when I have seen a movie continuously for 4-5 times! Though they sound crazy, yet they are still cherished. They have their own charm! Since Reshma was there, it was not a difficult thing for me. After a nice dinner, it was decided that she would stay with me that night so that we can have the same old and most remembered 'movie night'. "The Titanic" was chosen to play. Nothing could have been more special than that. It's the best of all the movies I have ever seen (including those of my all time fav, SRK). I always have a soft corner for this movie... its casting, its storyline, its set... everything is just perfect and what a heart-touching love story! I was in 5th grade when this movie came into light but I have liked this movie since then. As I write this post, I can still see the flashback of the movie, how dreadful it happened to those on board!
There are some 2-3 scenes in the movie which are just unforgettable... the best one is the musicians playing in the last scene, while all others are fighting to get into the life boats. That was simply awesome! I guess I have seen this particular scene, probably a 100 times! Second best scene, is when old Rose goes to the deck of the ship to drop the diamond in the ocean. I don't know why but this scene always makes me feel nostalgic and the third favorite scene is the dream which the old Rose sees, probably the last scene of the movie!
The giant RMS Titanic had an unfortunate fate yet it has created an unforgettable history in itself! But the movie Titanic had actually made my weekend! Hope to have such movie nights ahead!
This post is really special as the date of its publication is 17th... my lucky date ..!! Dedicated to the person, who has made it lucky for me..!!
The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we can never give enough of is love.

Lessons From Life ..!!
There's one thing which I have always believed... Life teaches the most! It is the best teacher, one of its kind which conducts the test first and then gives the lesson. During school days, I had never understood this point, probably my mindset was not that matured then but as time went ahead, I started realizing this fact. This realization didn't come all of a sudden... I literally had to come across various instances and now I strongly agree to the point. There are these simple things which mean a lot to one's life, which can create a hell lot difference in one's life... yet they are really small and simple to go unnoticed! Life has been my greatest teacher now, for what I have done so far is just out of my experience with life!
Some of the invaluable lessons which life has taught me are worth cherishing always. First one is, past is gone and we cannot change that, future is unknown and we cannot rely on that, what we have is the present and we can do all that we want with this present. Second, we need to be rather careful with time. If this time is gone means, it won't be back ever. Third, if ever you feel you are alone and you don't have anyone around you for support then you are wrong... there's a whole world on your side and that's your family! No matter, how bigger the problem is, they will surely guide you through. Fourth, friends are the people who extend their hands when you really want to go up and again there are 'so-called friends' who kick you from the top of the mountain so that you are gone forever. So one should be slow and careful in choosing friends and not believe anyone blindly. It hurts a lot when people you trust blindly... don't even think for a while before betraying you! Fifth, never lose your patience or confidence. They are the key to success and quite complementary to each other. If you have no patience, confidence won't show up and if you are not confident, there is no use of being patient! Sixth, never give up dreaming. Unless you dream... you won't realize how beautiful it is! Dreams only lead to commitment. Seventh, don't ever go by faces/looks... they are always deceptive. Eighth, spare some time of your life for others. You never know when a small step of yours can bring a huge change in someone's life. Ninth, believe in love. It has the magical force to convert everything bad into everything good. Love actually makes life beautiful! Tenth, people will come and go in life but what will remain is 'you'. Your attitude and behavior defines you. So be yourself always! Lastly, don't forget to smile! It may or may not impact you but it will surely impact the person who sees it (which may make you happy, you never know)!
The list surely doesn't ends here. All I can brief about life is Life is Beautiful! It has so much to give in so many wonderful ways...
Celebrate Life..!!
Dreams visit us every night but commitment wakes us up each day and gives us every chance to make our dreams come true..!!

Wonderful Weekend ..!!
After the crazy Friday evening, there was something nicer for both of us (Me and Reshma) on Saturday and Sunday even. Santosh (from ITian group) asked us to be at his place for a fun party there. I was quite interested as I really wanted to be with my old friends again... just for a change! Reshma also agreed to the plan (she is such a darling... agrees to everything :)). It was decided that I would go there with Sitakant (from ITian group) and Reshma would meet us there directly after she finishes her interview call. But situation took a different turn and she reached there before us! The journey to Santosh's place was really tiring... we had to travel in two buses and it was almost a 45 mins-60 mins journey. We reached there almost without any problems though we were quite late. Cooking wasn't started yet and Santosh left to get some food items we were going eat and meanwhile, we were busy with TV... a rare thing for me these days! Another friend from college, Rudra was there too. Finally, the cooking began after Santosh was back and to our utter surprise, he didn't let anyone of us to cook and did everything on his own and I must say, he is such a good cook! We couldn't resist ourselves seeing those delicious items. We surely missed Subha, Budhha, Kanhu, Sanat and other ITians but all the same we had great fun that day. While we ate, Andaaz Apna Apna was played to add colors to our fun. Subha came online for a video chat and I could clearly see his sad face... don't worry Subha... we miss you too! Instantly we planned to go for Houseful movie the next day. Mouli, Vipin and Bharat (Vip's new roommate) also agreed. So we went to the theater to get the tickets and had a good roaming there. We left that place and came back and I went out with Mouli to Dalma as Chicken Pakoda was in my mind ;) After a good dinner we came back as we had to prepare for the next day.
Vip came with Bharat and we had breakfast together and then we set for the cinemas. Santosh was not in the scene but he came somehow 5 mins later. We had fun... though the movie was so-so types but being with friends was the real fun. We all set for Chalo Punjab to have our lunch. The food was as usual delicious and soon Vip joined us after his guitar class. The day went on nicely. Met Saumya (ex-Nessian) in the evening after quite a long gap and felt good. Likewise, the whole weekend was spent wisely with friends! I really look forward for such wonderful weekends always..!!
Greatest challenge in life is to find someone who knows all your faults, differences, mistakes and much more about you but still sees the best in you..!!
On The Road... In The Rain ..!!
Friday evenings are always my favorite and I feel like doing all crazy activities which I have always felt like doing... let it be watching movies whole night or talking to each and every member of my family... experimenting with my camera or hanging out with friends... I just feel like being myself..!!
Last Friday evening was awesome. Reshma came to my place for a simple chit-chat session when I proposed the idea of having dinner at the Chinese Cottage, one of my favorite restaurants of Chinese cuisine. To my surprise, she readily agreed to my idea and we got ready for our sweet friendly date. It had just started to rain by then and we had our umbrella... the only one shading both of us. But suddenly it started raining heavily and thinking that I have a dear friend by my side... I thought of canceling the plan and have our dinner somewhere nearby. But she kept insisting that we should continue... and as a result, we moved on. The road was lonely except a few cars, a few stray dogs... and Me and Reshma. We crossed the water pooled over the road due to rain and by the time we reached the restaurant, we were half-drenched. I was really happy as I got the chance to be drenched in rain... which has always been my favorite. The hot soup in the restaurant was a great comfort then... the date was cool and cozy. The whole experiment was an absolute fun! It wouldn't have been possible if my best friend wouldn't have been there with me. Thanks Sweety... for making that evening crazy ;) Hope we have more crazier outings coming on our ways..!!
I may be walking slowly but I never walk backwards. If I walk backwards then I am preparing for a long jump..!!
