A blog about being a twinsoul,a bestfriend and a sister....

4 months ago.....
25th august 2007...

Had a flight to catch at 10.30pm....I was about to leave for the US of A in a couple of hours.....for my MS in University of Cincinnati......With a gang of 11 ppl accompanying me till cincinnati, there was a picnic-tour-kinda excitement filled in me [:p]......with lotsa confusion prevailing evrywhere with the sudden bomblasts at a couple of places in hyderabad, there was more tension filled in the air than the sorrowful currents expected at that time........with all the roads packed with the typical hyderabadi traffic, the drive seemed adventurous with lotsa brainstorming taking place in my mind.....grazing the checklist, receiving the innumerable number of cals, giving last minute instructions to my bro.....n consciously or unconsciously refusing to register the hard fact in my mind tht i am actually leaving everyone for a minimum of 2 yrs.....
Reached airport....after a photo session n all infinetly growing instruction set from the family + relatives + friends, finally it was time to leave.....the final boarding time was almost closing in......more involved in meeting n getting introduced to the would-be-freinds, i slowly moved into the hall heading towards the checkin section after bidding a cheerful bye to all my loved ones.....yashu was allowed to stay with me till the final boarding cal due to spl permission managed by one of my friends :).......n we spoke for sometime.....a very casual talk.....n finally i started to leave after giving him an affectionate kiss.....n thts when he told me tht a surprise gift was secrety placed in my cabin baggage :)).....increasing my excitement beyond bound......he knws hw much i love surprises :)))......
waiting in the boarding room......i opened the baggage to take out the gift......beautifully wrapped with a cute giftwrap, i cud feel the auro of the love.....i opened it to find a small case and a small handwritten letter.....n the case bore something which was least expected......it contained a beautiful diamond pendant [:))))]......cudnt believe my eyes.......cudnt switch my gaze off the pendant....slowly i opened the letter attached.......the letter written by a brother to his sweetestheart.......n the sweet note brought me out of my reverie......the words made me realize what big deal it was........that i am flying off as far as 10,000 miles away from evryone......n that i cant meet all my beloved ones till min of 1 year....n that the life ahead is gonna be very diffent......n tht i will have to feel the absence of my bro beside me.......n tht i ll miss all the fun n his company......n tht i ll hav to wait for a year to even see him.......n there came rolling down a continous stream of tears with the sudden realization.....was almost choked with sorrow and fear and tension and despair and restlessness and a mixture of all negative feelings......cudnt do anything but cry......n indeed i was crying......crying real hard......crying and cursing the day my MS plan was born and this day when the plan became all real.....

yashu......whose companionship i am missing the most now......missing him soo badly.....a feeling which cant be expressed by mouth but eyes speak......letting out tears when least expected......its been 4 months now......n i still feel lonely even amidst a crowd.......”missing you” seems so common and less intensive word......but cant find any apt word for conveying how much i miss him.......in fact i m missing myself.....he is the only person with whom i am myself......i be myself.....i act myself......i stay myself......i talk what i want to talk.....i do what i want to do.....coz he is soo much like me......he is exactly like me......n we like eachother's company soo much......n all of a sudden, i land in this foreign land.......with all new ppl around......making his absence felt much more......
i see him daily.......his cute face prompts my hand to touch him.....but i am obstucted by the flat screen of my lappy......i talk to him daily.....his sweet talk makes me kiss him......but the feel of flying the kiss thru the phone never gives the real feel......the feel of kissing your baby brother......
ok so coming to the point now ( aahhh it took soo long to start the actual topic :P)......i wished to let him know how much i m missing him........yesterday was his bday.....n my lonliest day ever.....n he is 20 yrs old now.....[:o] he is growing up......but to me he is still like a baby :)).......he is my favourite.......i like him more than anyone or anything on this earth :D.......even more than cadbury's dairymilk :P........cant imagine life without him.......gives me confidence when i am down......makes me feel like the best person existing on the earth ( only next to him :P )......can remember all the things we did together.......n can only miss them more now.......the jokes understood by only both of us ;).....the chat and chat we always had ( 1st chat corresponds to samosa ragada chat :P and second chat is yahoo messenger chat :D ).....the counters and anti-counters for eachother's jokes......the lingo which noone else understud ;).......the tears of pride mummy used to get watching our affection :D......the tears he used to get when i scored gud marks [:p :p].......the combined studies for my external exams [:p]......the cute fights.......the letter writing competition :P which i used to win unanimously :p......the dairy i used to write :P.....the lengthy conversations which i miss the most :(((......the confidence and attitude he always used to teach me :))......the way in which he used to deal with things n cald it the smartest way :P.......the excuses we used to give mummy for freaking out everyday......all the activa rides when i used to sit behind and tell him how to ride it safely :P......all the car drives when we used to discuss everything under the sun( dnt ask if our car is topless :P........ under the sun means every topic possible :P)......the games we played together......chess in which i won over him :P......the memory game whose cards he remembers even now :P......the all possible card games we used to play for cash ;).......the money u used to lend me everytime i was broke......the way we were always partners in all crimes n mischiefs possible :P......the way we used to guess the culprit in all CID shows ;)......all the secrets which we shared with each other.......all the “wavelength” related discussion we had ;)......the way we used to wonder at how alike we and our thinking is......the way we enjoyed every second of our being together.......



And its been 20yrs now that i had been with him......every second having its own importance :))......hard to list down all the memories on paper but they definetly have their share of place in my mind :)).....writing about our relation had been an ordeal.....n i m sure i havnt done evn some justification in this blog.....coz its the most precious relation i cherish.....and describing it in words is a sure-failure task.....i am not so gud at words that i cn describe this love.....its all about being together for 20yrs.....its all about sharing everything.....its all about the perfect wavelength match......ITS ALL ABOUT BEING COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD WITHOUT EVEN SPEAKING........ITS ALL ABOUT A SISTER-BROTHER LOVE

he is the reason i smile......he is the reason i laugh.....he is the reason i live......





Some songs for him :))....

2 of my fav Quotes..

"Years ago your life got its beginning and
another life got its meaning "
-Thulasiram

" Friendship is born at the moment when one person says to another, 'What?! You too! Thought I was the only one !!! "

Be Yourself..

There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:
This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.
Be strong enough to love yourself 100% ....good and bad !! "

Tanha dil.....Tanha safar....


Aankhon mein sapne liye


Ghar se hum chal to diye


Jaane yeh raahein ab le jaayengi kahan....


Mitti ki khushboo aaye


Palkon pe aansu laaye


Palkon pe reh jaayega yaadon ka jahan....


Manzil nayi hai anjaana hai kaarvaan


Chalna akele hai yahan...


Tanha Dil....Tanha safar.....

Happy Days!!....A Nostalgic Retreat...


With all the excitement to watch my 1st movie in USA, we booked the tickets online......the only movie i was crazily looking forward to c.....the movie i knew i wud like it anyway,.....the most happening telugu movie now...."Happy Days"....
Not yet released in India....n i wanted to c it b4 all my freinds in India (HUhahahahah).......They r actually planning to c it together (huh!! :((( without me ).....n lucky enuf,it was released in Cincinnati too :D :D.....n finally with gr8 dificulty 5 of us (me, deepika, jayasree, himaja and aparna) reached the theater which is about 1 hr drive from our place.....
Watching a telugu movie (My 1st telugu movie in USA) is an excitement with all telugu ppl coming together n u get a smewt homely feeling for a while.....but the main excitement is tht its not any other movie....its "HAPPY DAYS" :D..
All of u may nt hav felt such an excitement abt this movie.....nor do u still feel tht its soo spl...but i was soo much awaiting its release.....esp coz i jus loved the songs to the core.....jus literally crazy after those songs n lyrics.....Even though its more than a yr since i left my college....the fact that almost all my freinds had been in hyd and very much in touch......its only after i left for US that i m really getting the real 'farewell' feeling.....n nw, i m feeling the real pain, fear and sorrow of parting with freinds and college......n this is wt happy days is all about......
Its a movie..which starts at the 1st day of your engg life....n ends at ur farewell day.....
the movie is soo much realistic tht any engg student can immediatly and comfortably relate almost evrything with our coll life....n the name best suits the movie coz i m sure none of us ll deny tht our engg days were the most happiest days of our life till now....hmmmm till now kadu, actually they r the best days of our life ever!!.....
The music is awesome and the lyrics r real cute....the movie covers almost all aspects of college life.....freindship, ragging, love stories, exams, combined studies, gossiping, line marofying, jr sr clashes,patch ups after fightings, tours,seeking permissions, parent's concerns,classroom lectures, canteen enjoyments, campus placements n finally the farewells and nostalgic feelings of leaving the college... I liked evry bit of the movie......Everything was soo well directed that u ll never get the feel of watching a movie.....ante basically naku anni nachesayi....so malli separate ga dialogues bagunnayi, actors bagunnaru, baga acting chesaru andaru actors, background music bagundi ani chepthe meeku bore kodtundi emo :D....
As expected towards the ending inka buckets buckets tears on the floor yaa :D...
loved the movie to the core.....missing my freinds :((((((
I loved the "O My Friend" song the most....abbabababababa asalu emaina unda aa song....keka asalu...
Lyrics here.....imagine i m singing this for you all :D :D

"Paadametupotunna,payanamendakaina;
adugu tadabadutunna,thodurana;
chinni edabaataina,kanta thadi pedutunnaa;
gunde prathi laya lona nenu lenaa;
ontaraina,otamainaaaa....;
venta nadiche needa venaa;
..oooo' my friend;
tadi kannulane tudichina nestama;
..oooo' my friend;
odi dudukulalo nilichina snehama;

amma odilo leni paasam;
nesthamalle allukundee..;
janmakanthaa theeriponee;
mamathalenno panchutonde;

meeru,meeru nunchi mana sneha geetam;
aera,aera lloke maare;
momataale leni kale jaaruvaale;
ontaraina,otamaina;
venta nadiche needa neeve;
..oooo' my friend;
tadi kannulane tudichina nestama;
..oooo' my friend;
odi dudukulalo nilichina snehama;

vaana vastheee kaagithaalee
padavalaye gnapakaale;
ninnu choosthe chinnanaati
chaethalannee chentha vaale;
gillikajjalenno ilaa penchukuntoo
tullintallo thele sneham;
modalu,tudalu telipe mudi veedakunDe;
ontaraina,otamaina;
venta nadihe needa neeve;
..oooo' my friend;
tadi kannulane tudichina nestama;
..oooo' my friend;
odi dudukulalo nilichina snehama;"

yeh dosti......hum nahi chodenge.....

Ramya and Shaila.....
Cant say they r my freinds....coz they r more of my family :D.....
Cant find a better occasion to write abt them....coz today is the 1st bday of Shaila i missed after i met her :((((
Happy birthday Shailaaaaa :))))))......luvvvv u raaaaaa.........uummaaahhhhh :D

Sat down with an intention to describe our relation.....but literally out of words....coz sme relations can only b felt.....they cant b described.....ther r no enuf words to describe it aptly to our satisfaction....

Some friendships are so unconditional and instinct based that within few days u become really close.........n this is wt happened in Narayana junior college......
N this day which is abt 7 yrs away from the day v met, v still have no idea hw fast the time flew.....
"I feel very lucky" is the common phrase i use for almost evrything......but this is perfectly applicable to me having found these 2 sweethearts......:))
I really dont understnd what makes me so lucky to get involved with soo many sweet ppl in this world.....starting from my family to my school friends, inter freinds, enggineering freinds and all other freinds, i cant help being dumbstuck at how much loved i am by all of them......n nw, i cn only cry for choosing to stay away from all of them by stating a career as the reason :((((

ok so gettin bac to shaila n ramya......it is nt the amount of time v spend together, but its the bonding v have towards each other which is more significant....
i may nt spend the entire day with them.....but a single cal of evn 1min duration makes my day often :))
the care in their voice touches me......gives me a secured feeling.......lifts my spirit whn i m down.....n shares my excitment when i m happy :)))

The birthday girl ....shaila/ shails/ shaira bhanu/ sweety.......
so turning 22 today :P (sorry sorry public ga cheppesa ;) )........
she is sucha lively, exciting, sweet, caring, responsible gal .......ther r many things i always love learning from her......be it her caring nature or her sharing of responsiblities or giving utmost improtance to family or being selfless to help freinds at any cost.....u neednt worry abt urself after u r her freind, she ll feel for u, she ll cry for u, she ll b happy for u :)......a rare combination to find......an intelligent....hardworking.......enjoys freaking out, spending time with freinds.......u dnt knw her unless u knw her long list of crushes :P ( List kavalante feel free to ask me :P ).....n coincidentally v have many common crushes ;)........n ultimately no one gets succesful coz v tend to sacrifice for each other ;) hehe antha strong freindship madi ;)......all in all a dearest sweetheart she is ....uummaahhhhh

Ramya/rams/sri ramya/darling
enthusiastic is the word which fits her........wt ever she does, she does it in a different way, a lively way, an exciting way :)......her presence is always felt by the ppl who knw her........even if u dnt knw her, u ll b forced to get attracted to her ;).......inka saree veskundi ante inka anthe sangati ;)........hw can i forget mentioning her dimple ;) which is the center of attraction......very cheerful......always trying to lift the spirits of ppl arnd her.......very caring.......devotional......exteremly sweet :)......always ther to help u out in wtver situation u r in......gives utmost importance to family values and freindship.......a gr8 dancer :D.......n a wonderful painter :D........has a biiiiiig circle of friends.......biiig list of fans ;)........smart n intelligent.........inka overall ga asalu too much of a darling.....uummaaaahhhh

We used to often sing the song dil chahtha hai together.......assuming tht v 3 resemble the 3 from tht movie....but our freindship means much more than that.........v had many memorable moments to cherish in life.......the meetings v had.........loved discussing evrything .....abt crushes......discussing abt guyz :P........teasing each other.......freaking out with each other.......visiting each other's homes.......sharing the sorrows.......making each other laugh to silliest of jokes( If at all it can b cald a joke ;) )..........scolding each other for the petty mistakes........crying for silly reasons........gossiping for hrs......fighting for 'who is fattest' title :P........discussing our engg life......hating to discuss the subjects but still discussing hw much v hate discussing it :P.........cribbing abt probs at office.......cribbing abt no one having crushes on us :P.........frequent cals during exams to discuss hw tensed v r n hw difficult the subject is.........the eating together.......the trials of cooking together........the movies.......the flop plans......the NV msgs n forwards :P......the chats with our family members.......hw much my family members miss them wn its more than a week they hadnt visited.......the sleepovers.......the chats on the terrace........n on n on n on.....

n all this had come to a halt.....n my life to a standtill.....its hard to digest wt i have forgone after i came here.....n its sickening to ask myself if at all my decision was correct or not :((.......coz nw its all done.......n i m here, in my land of dreams (huh!!!!)......

Really missing u two......u really dnt knw hw much u mean to me......but it ia reallly depressing to me that both of u r nt around.......my weekends r void without a visit to ur homes.......my cell phone is silent without ur cals......n my mind is always preoccupied with ur thoughts :(((

i wish i were with u both today esp.......every bday of anyone of us started with a cheerful gudmorning with the other two knocking at the door with a cake, bouquet, lots of hugs and happy birthday song......really missing all tht today.......had no words wn ramya said " i jus dint come alone ra but i brought along ur absense ".....:((((....now wt can b said to that......i can only answer tht statement with a couple of my tears :((.....

Really really missing u both raas ( singular is raa ......so plural is raas :P :P ento asalee ee roju oral english test attend ayyanu....so aa flow lo vachesindi ;) )

ps: This writting could have been better expressed n better phrased but i was engaged with many activities in coll from morning n cud get my hands on a system right nw....n wanted to publish this b4 the date changes......so had to hurry up.....

My latest hobby- Cooking!!

Hobbies : Cooking…..is wt I quote these days :D….
Finally my mom is happy that I m spending sme considerable time in the kitchen ;) …..i m actually trying to learn cooking…….tasting, eating and monitoring were the only tasks related to my kitchen life till nw :D…...Its only after my adventures thes days that I have realized the disadvantages of the cooking myself……
the very 1st thing being, abbbaaahhhh the kitchens are soo hot……hw much I wish evn kitchens were air-conditioned :P……
the 2nd thing is that u r bound to use both ur hands for cooking n hence cant speak on phone :P…..( N for ppl who hav a doubt at this point , for ur info, I dnt like using handsfree :P)..
If ur food doesn’t smell good, u cant use deo/perfume :P…..
the next being, I am actually watching the cooking shows and being genuinely interested in cooking these days ( My God!!....cant believe…I am soo much a gal :P )……
the next …Knowing and identifying all grocery things is sucha painful thing….. n in my case, i ll hav to know all the names in english ;)…….have faced many embarrassing situations like wn u cal sme pulses with smeother name, the weird look u get fm a middle-aged aunty is way beyond tolerance…...ante thts nt my fault….tappu antha na vayyassu di :P…..obviously anyone wud expect a 22 yr ( :o) old gal to atleast knw the names of the items……how much I wish I ws bac in school….:(((((((((
the next biggest disadvantage being, after I expertise in cooking, the risk of any of my relatives liking the food soooo much tht they may ask me to get married to their son :P…...ante it can be considered a disadvantage only if their son lacks sense of humour ;)…..hehe

Cooking has its advantages of its own……the 1st n obvious one is my laziness to cook wud definetely make me lose weight ;).…..n the 2nd one being, good food is one way to reach a man’s heart ;))……dnt ask me the 2nd way now :P……
Cooking is actually an art….so its actually funn to get expertise at an art….
But Wtever the explanations I give to myself……I still feel I m too young to start cooking all by myself :D….:((
I wonder how easily my mom cooks such tasty dishes……may b it’s the practice…..or may b it’s the interest…..in either case I cnt cook that gr8 ;)…. my mom is the greatest cook ever!!!……will miss all this :((((((((((…..
Huh!!!....c….again the nostalgic feeling started!!.....cant continue further….. bye 4 nw…

Every Woman Should Know....

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
How to fall in love
without losing yourself

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
How to quit a job,
break-up with a man
and confront a friend without ruining the friendship

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
When to try harder
and when to walk away

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
How to kiss a man
in a way that communicates perfectly
what you would and wouldn't like to happen next

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
How to have a good time at a party
you'd never choose to attend

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
That you can't change
the length of your calves,
the width of your hips
or the nature of your parents.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
That you childhood
may not have been perfect,
but it's over.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
What you would
and wouldn't do
for love or more.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
How to live alone,
even if you don't like it.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
Who you can trust,
who you can't, and
why you shouldn't take it personally.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
Where to go -
be it your best friend's kitchen table
or a charming inn hidden in the woods -
when your soul needs soothing.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
What you can and can't accomplish
in a day,
a month,
and a year.

I still remember you....

It happens at times that a mail makes u real emotional……n sets u thinking……
N this post is about a mail sent by my Wipro training batch friends , Saswat and Suhas to all our batch friends which made me really senti…

Sender : Saswat
Subject: I still remember U

“Hai all,
It has been a long long time that we haven't heard from each other. We are getting so much carried away in our lives that we are not even realising the fact that we are missing each other. Even today I realise this fact. Whenever I smile, I keep thinking that it could have been a laugh , had you all been with me. Whatever is good, could have been better. Am I really missing something??? Yes, I am. Its you. Its krishna, karthik, arun(1 & 2), janani, bhavna, ganesh, bagchi, durga prasad, dutta, devi, venky, monika... If I am missing out someone, its deliberate. coz I want you to reply me back saying -"how dare you forget me?". And that's what I really need.
I really dont wanna go back into flash back. But they keep bouncing back to me over and over again. And I tell you, its all your fault. You didn't reply to any of my sensitive or non-sense mails.

Let by gones be by gones. We can still make our presence felt in each other's heart. Please keep attaching your views to this thread that I have started. You can still make me feel that "when you are walking through dark, your vision is dying out, legs stumbling and throat stammering, you turn around and if you find just one person standing beside, that's me". I too want to say you very much the same thing.

So, the thread begins and now its your turn...

never bading you...
saswat “


To which Suhas writes

May be for the first time I am not making fun of a mail.
May be for the first time I didn’t think second to respond.
May be for the first time I am not replying mocking the sender.
May be for the first time I agree to his feelings.
May be for the first time knowing that our mails are not read and spammed am replying yet.
May be for the first time I am longing for a good morning mail from janani.
May be for the first time I am waiting forward to receive happy weekend mail of monica.
May be for the first time I miss making fun of Bagchi.
May be for the first time I am hoping for a reply.
May be for the first time I hope to write such a mail for the last time.

Its ok Saswat may be we are not that important to those who you considered to be so.
May be they find a piece of code more important than those days.
Don’t worry you will soon recover from dilemma time is the best medicine.

With lots of hope in heart and none in brain
Suhas(heard it somewhere????) "

I fact that I am putting these mails on my blog states how much I admired the mails…..i confess being lazy/careless/worried about the mocking replies I may get and decided not to reply to the mail….But it ws something I loved reading……
The training period was really a wonderful time which I really cant ever forget in my life…..It gave me real gud friends for life but unfortunately cudnt keep in touch with all of them ……jus got too busy with life……but those memorable days are forever impressed somewhere deep inside my mind…..

They are not there...

To me , the world suddenly feels so unsafe.....the thought of losing the loved ones is soo depresing that i refuse to accept the fact that they no more exist on the face of the earth......
I feel so unlucky to hear the news of someone dying.....thts too my close ones.....
My heart cries by the thought of their family members....to whom i can only say.....


Do not stand at their grave and forever weep.....
They are not there , They do not sleep.....
They are a thousand winds that blow.....
They are the diamond glints on snow.....
They are the sunlight on ripened grain.....
They are the gentle autumn's rain.....
When you awaken in the morning's hush
They are the swift uplifting rush.....
Of quiet birds in circled flight.....
They are the soft stars that shine at night.....
Do not stand at their grave and cry.....
They are not there , They did not die.....
