Hi Guys,
Like whole world thinks India is crazy about cricket, I am among few exceptions. Yes I liked the game only when India played and I always wished India should win particularly against our rival nations. But I am not among guys who watch cricket 24/7, always watch the channel telecasting matches of 80s 90s and watch them again and again. I also don't remember many foreign players name. This is all OK main thing was I never used to be tensed if India is loosing the match, leave food and sit in front of TV till the match is Over. Some people dont take food when India looses.. My friend Damodar is such a fantastic example of this. He always scolds me that I never watch cricket etc.
Some how my interests are different, like Movies, Politics, News, Scandals ;) etc etc. But this IPL made me realize even I get tensed when needed for Cricket.
I was watching the latest match between Royal Challengers Vs Deccan chargers. The score was not high and two main bats men were playing very good. I was sitting with my friends watching it. Since we were in good position, I told we will win this match. Mera ghar hota tho mai thode der keliye music channel dekhta ;) but I was in friends home so was watching cricket. When we started loosing wickets some I started blaming why the hell these guys doing this. When battle is half won, why to take risks. Play it easy and safe would be option. I said OK let one or two make mistake but still we can win match as we have good batting line.
But what a shocking event. We kept on loosing wickets and run rate was going high. Thats when I slowly started getting tension. My friends were contributing a lot as they were highly tensed and blaming the Bangalore team for not meeting their expectation.
Finally when we lost all batsmen and depending on bowlers to do some Miracle and win the match, I reached the peak. I got so tensed and so angry on Virat Kohli and other batsmen for not doing justice to the job.
When we lost the match, I was sad, depressed and felt very bad for loosing. I came back home and now after a day, I am feeling how come I am getting tensed for cricket?
I used to laugh when my friends behaved strangely for cricket, but today I was the victim of cricket impact. Good at last cricket has sinked in Me. Hope Indian team ( currenly RC Bangalore team) gives me more happiness than tension..
Enjoi..

Feel lucky to be in Bangalore :)
It was tiring week for me as I took some days off and planned to travel around with my in laws when they visited my home. Obvious choice around Bangalore was Mysore.
I knew its summer and it wont be so good to go around, but I never expected, my trip outside Bangalore will be so intolerable.. So I feel lucky to be in Bangalore.. Read out.
In Mysore, we went to Chamundi hills at 11. We just left our footwear in car and Walked hardly 100 mts on road to temple. It was such a horrible moment. The tar on road was kind of melted due to summer. It was so hot and we almost burnt our feet. Standing in Que without even little air and hot sun above our head, I felt miserable. Now I felt I need to really contribute at least little towards reducing Global warming.
A full day in mysore was not so good as the temparature in mysore is really higher than Bangalore and the air is dry.
With this bad experience, I headed towards worst experience. I headed towards Mangalore. But i never knew 3 days of my life will be hell.
So much of humidity, so much of sweat and above all a very sunny sun above our head. It really made me miss Bangalore.. ( I know Bangalore is now a days sunny too but atleast we have cold air around. And my office hours, I don't see sun when he is really hot).
From there we visited Dharmastala, Kukke, Sringeri, Horanadu.. All are part of Malenadu but there are no traces of even a little breeze. All the trees standing still as if we are watching a wall paper.
But all these places look beautiful during Rainy and Winter seasons.. I blamed my self for coming on wrong time, and felt Bangalore climate is good in all seasons.
Note: Guys, we are seeing heavy increase in temperatures year by year. I request all of you to contribute what ever possible towards reducing Global Warming..
I really felt for the labors, drivers, people who sell on road in mangalore and around, in that case even in Mysore. They need to work full day under hot sun to earn their living. If every one can contribute a little, we can make earth a better living place..
take care..

Exam time- Worst days of my life :)
I think its with every 1 except few genius students who like to write exams score more than their class mates :) . I am not among them. I among the crowd who doesn't like to prepare for and write exams. During my engineering days these were worst days of my life. I will just share few incidents.
I studied in BEC college Bagalkot and was staying in hostel. Each room had 3 students. Most of the students in hostel study only during exam time. Sitting on terrace, having bunch of cigarette packets and smoking whole night to be awake was regular scene during exams. Few were doing group study and few preferred individual studies. Few were comfortable with books and few used to refer notes. Few made sound while reading and few read in mind. Few guys used to sleep when all awake and get up when all sleep. So we have seen all types of studies. One typical type of study was to disturb other's study and study.
Here is one incident.
During our first year of engineering, when exams were a week ahead, one guy spent 70 rs and bought a fashion magazine ( most popular one) and made it make a round in hostel. Most of us were very new to such books and started running and making reservations for it.. After u give it to me ok.. after me he has booked etc etc.. So we wasted lot of time in this and the guy who got the book studied coolly and scored well too. Its just an example :)
My study timing was from evening 5:30 till 2 or 3 o'clock midnight. In between, the time I enjoyed most was walk after dinner. Our campus was spread across many acres and there was huge place for walking after dinner.. There was a tar road for few kms and most of us used to take a walk for a km after dinner.. It was most refreshing time as we tried to forget about books, exams and just enjoy the time with friends making full noise, talking cracking jokes etc. Strict rule was not to discuss about studies or about preparation. Everything else was allowed except remembering exams. It used to last for 15 min each day but the real pain was when getting back to hostel. It was a killing experience. Remembering the books, exam and finishing the syllabus before the exam start bell rings, my body used to get a cold shivering. The same kind of experience I still face when I remember those days.
Some how I managed to finish BE without single failure, the fear for exam was life time experience. :)

Ismit Singh- May his soul rest in peace.
Now a days Indian television is going through a revolutionary phase where all channels are flooded with reality shows. The shows boast of huge star jury members, huge sets and lots of entertainment. Though each show will have its own set of viewers some of them have huge impact on the audience and get High TRPs.
I am big fan of singing/comedy/ dance reality shows. Every Friday and Saturday evening, I fight with my roommates to make sure that the remote is in my hand. Indian Idol, saregamapa, Jo jeeta wo hi superstar, Laughter challenge, Nach baliye etc have impressed me in one or other way. With all this background today I want to write few words about one of my favorite contestant in the show VOI Ishmit Singh.
This guy among most loved contestant in VOI used to make viewers go through romantic mood when he sings. In spite of wat ever dramas played on sets,he kept himself cool, concentrated on his singing and put his 100% efforts to give his best in each performance. Though he has given many superb performances, the one he gave in Jo jeeta wo hi superstar, Kehne ko jansne bahara hai touched my heart so much. Audience went crazy, jury got so much excited and praised him for his splendid job. I just became big fan of his voice. Every time, I liked his clean voice and his gentleman behaviour. But I never I knew this voice will leave us so soon. I was shocked to see the news splashing on channels about his death and browsed all sites to see if I can get some more information. What a bad news. When we outsiders can feel so bad for this news, how can his parents and family feel to see their successful son loosing his life at such young age. As a fan of his voice I thought let me pay tribute to his voice.
May his soul rest in peace. God give his family strenth to bear the pain..

Drama I directed at the age of 13.
Every one of us know Master Kishen has created a record as youngest film director at the age of 10. I was sitting and thinking how I was at the age of 10. Though I was not so knoweldged to direct a film/drama I used to act in drama like most school kids do. I used to participate in all cultural events like Singing, Speech, Writing competition and acting in dramas. But I never dreamt I will direct a drama and win a prize at the age of 13. The story is intresting..
I acted in a drama of Hiranya kashyapa- Bhakta Phralada at the age of 10. I was in school 5th and I played Bhakta phralada. The drama became very famous in my home town and our team received lot of prizes for that. Rehearsing for the drama so many times, made me remember dialogues of all characters in the same.
After 6th, I joined a residential school Navoday and moved to different place. We used to have "Houses" in new school and I was part of Nalanda House. Lot of different cultural and sports competitions were held between houses. In a similar way Skit competition was held.
There were four houses in our school and students from 6th to 12 can take part in the drama. I went to my house teacher and told I have this drama and I remember all the dialogues. I called my senior friend Praveen to act as Hiranya kashyapa and I said i will act as Phralada. In the evening house master took us to see if it will be suitable for the competition. I had prepared myself with all dialogues and showed my senior how to do his role. I was taken aback with the surprise when sir asked me to be Hiranya kashyapa and him as Phralada though he was senior to me. Its nothing to do with my bad looks ;) but the way I was acting in villain role. Finally cast was finalised. We rehearsed the drama and sir helped us with the dress code. We were finally ready for the competition.
The day came for the final battle.There were 4 plays ready, one from each house. We were totally shocked to see all elder students taking part in the other dramas. I mean 11th and 12th standard guys with expensive dress, lot of confidence and lot of preparation. One after other dramas over and out of other 3, 2 dramas were fantastic. The crowd gave them huge round of applauds and even we liked them forgetting the rivalry. Even our drama went as expected. There was no disaster.
Finally it was result time, and we were sure we will be in 3rd position. But for our surprise our name was called for the second position considering our age. Though we felt happy for the prize received, it was such an encouraging moment when our seniors came us and congratulated us who took the 3rd prize. The jury member was the house master of the drama who came 3rd place and we felt so good for his nature. He compromised for his house and gave us the prize considering our efforts and age.
Over all the day has been locked in my memory as surprisingly happy day.

DHP- Dream Home Project
Thanks guys for lot of comments and support in terms of comments, mail and call for my last blog.. It was pleasing experience.. Every person goes through various emotions. I will be most of the time happy. Smiling and bringing smile for the people around me. But I am also a human to get sad some times. Now I am back smiling writing a blog about my current craze- My new home which is under construction. Me and my friends call it DHP- Dream home project.
There is a saying in Kannada " Mane katti nodu, maduve maadi Nodu". I am talking about my first experience i.e constructing a home.
Me and my 4 friends together planned to build a set of flat together so we can stay together even after marriage though in different homes but in same building :) . So we started looking for a site and finalised one. Found a builder and investor and booked one flat each. All we thought it will be a smooth operation but no. The hurdles kept on approaching. Continuous effort to get a bank loan, finishing up all the legal formalities, arranging the remaining money, visiting the sites on regular basis, tolerating the price hike for cement and steel. So many works along with office work. There were situations where we fought with each other, felt depressed why we took this decision to build home. Fed up of arranging money, took loan from friends, postponed buying car :(. So many adjustments, compromises and sacrificing comforts. Never bought a costly electronic gadgets, waited for company to provide laptop. But when I visited site this week, all compromises I did were worth it. Our DHP is getting in good shape. My home walls are built up, electric work is going on. Plastering work is also going on good speed. Balcony work is done where I hope I will be sitting and having a cup of tea in future. Hall where I will be putting sofa tv, dinning table and enjoying the stay. Bed room where I will be sleeping, guest room where my guests can come and stay, everything is getting in shape.
So while coming back from site on bike, I was thinking what all compromises it takes to make a dream in reality. Hopefully things will be smooth now on and we occupy the home as soon as possible.
My friends are equally happy and hope we all stay together with our family happily in future.
Now we are thinking which way we should make our building's external look so it catches eyes. Also about what all interiors we should make, how we should paint the walls :)
Few more months, I am just waiting for occupying it.

r we satisfied?
I dont know why suddenly I got this thought? I know I am too young to think about it.. But when some situation at home for which I could not find a solution sitting in Bangalore, strated feeling guilty.. Why I did engineering? I could have done some other degree, have govt job, stayed in native and helped family in handling issues. Now its too late but still this thought is passing every min.
After PU college tensions for which college to join for BE? Will I get this branch and this college for my ranking? Oh yes, I got it.. So much to study, such brilliant classmates.. Will I be able to clear all exams.. Oh yes cleared.. Oh man so much competation outside for IT jobs.. IIT, REC, top college students will I be able to get a job.. Hmmm at last after heavy struggle.. Now my class mates have strated going onsite. Will i get a chance to go? Will I make money like them? Should i invest in site or shares? Why my company is not giving me shares when my friends compay is giving? Why my company has no long term onsites.. at last I also visited US for a short span. hmm where is all money going at the end of the month.. Salary is getting deposisted and slowly getting withdrwan for multiple reasons.. Where is it going? am I doing proper planning? With all this tensions, what am i doing for my home? am I there when they need my suport.. No leaves, releases dead lines, new trainings.. I can give money but not time.. But who is intrested in money, they need my time.. No I am not able to give. hmmmmm so the answer to the question " R we satisfied?" is No from me..
What you guys think? Comments.
