A blog about my Rocky...

PS (PreScript): The more jobless i get, the more crap appears in my writings....so read at your own risk :P
((Disclaimer ante common ga untadani PreScript ani use chesa :D :P........Creativity just rocks ya :P :P))

So I am going to write about Rocky in this blog....how can i describe him...he has been my best friend since i came to cincinnati....i jus cant imagine life without him.....cal it addiction/love/attraction or anything....but i simply love him and i am not afraid to confess that i really cant live without him....its hard to imagine life without rocky.....
Rocky is none other than my laptop :))......
My laptop's name is Rocky....most of you might not be aware of this....actually none of you are aware of this....becoz i named it jus a few minutes back :P :P.....
Well! There are reasons why i named my darling laptop as Rocky....
The reasons for naming my darling laptop as Rocky are : (
Reminds me of my school days where i used to repeat the question again in the answer jus to fill the pages :P)
1. It is as hard as Rock :P
2. It plays Rock very well :P :P (
I mean the sound system is better than other laptops and definetely louder and better than HP :P)
3. Its processor is made from Silicon Rock :P :P (After all i am a VLSI engineer :P)
4. And the main and imp reason is that " It simple ROCKSSSSSSS " yaaar :D :P

My friend named her laptop as "puppy"....and she calls it lappy puppyy.....sooo cutee kada :)))......i soo much liked it that i also wanted to copy it.......i mean lappyy puppyyy ante entha cuteeeee undi.....but then, my laptop is unique.....NA dell vostro 1400 ante entha unique....how can it share its name with anyone !! :P......Dell people also realized the uniqueness of my laptop and stopped manufacturing more of vostro 1400s :D ( sme ppl say its bcoz the model is a flop one :P....but then its based on perception u c :P )

Its been 16 months since it is with me......it has been with me during thick and thin ( That is an English proverb :P....dnt ask me when were you thin?? ani :P :P ).....it has seen me laugh...it has seen my tears....it knws hw much i missed home....it knows how much i worked hard for my studies :P (It KNOWS....ohh noooo :P ).....it knws what songs i like....it knows what pics i see often.....it knows everthing about me.....n it has been with me all the time....aahhhh!! Its really my best friend :)).....Those of you in India may not understand what a laptop means to a MS student......you may nt understand the intensity of this blog....but It really is difficult to imagine grad life in US without it.....

Everything was fine untill dec 08....then started troubleee.....when my laptop was entered by "Sinowal Trojan".....everything went haywire.....I trusted McAfee but it failed to protect my Rocky....even the windows explorer failed to work.....i couldnt do anything on it....it was then when i realized what it means to me.......the only option was to format and install everything again.....i installed XP.....and then installed all the required drivers, and softwares (msoffice, adobe,jdk, eclipse, picasa3,perl, mason, devcpp, java3d etc etc )
(for my thesis ree :P)......but then it became damnnn slow......i mean one click used to take jus several hundreds of seconds......n then i realized that my rocky was supposed have only 1 soul :P (operating system)......it was made for Vista and i am not supposed to change it.....after realizing the hard truth, i agaiin formatted and reinstalled vista and again reinstalled the drivers and again reinstalled all the softwares .....abbabaaba chala chirrakku vachindi antha process ayye sariki.......n in the process i dnt knw where i went wrong but then started the startup problem......n no solution available for startup repair......i mean hw can i go wrong in installing an operating system from a given cd.....i dnt think i am soo dumb that i cant even do sucha simple thing properly :P.....anyway so wtever the reason was, i had to do the series of installations AGAIN :((.......n NOWW finally its all working fine :D....(n this incident gave me motivation to register for Operating Systems Course :P)....
Anyway thru this blog i jus wanted to let my laptop knw hw much i love it ani :D.....except tht last night the key "Enter" stopped working :P :P.....
Actually asalu ee blog tho wt did i want to convey ani meeku doubt ravachu :P :P.......ABBBBBAAAAA CHAAAA , edo okati convey chesthe tappa chadavara enti???? :P :P....
Ayinaa kanii i want to convey a msg to my readers......my readers anta :P :P.....edo pedda novelist laga :P.....ok so the message is tht there are negatives in everyone/everything we love, so we shud accept them as they are and still love them the same :)......
Blog ki message ki connection ae ledu anukunte mee kharma :P...

My musings right now....

30min more for todays job shift to get over…..n I m in no mood to do anything…….
Staying invisible on gtalk isn’t interesting anyday……..orkut had become boring long back….
So here I am writing down whatall is running in my mind right now…….
Giving a proper order to thoughts is an ordeal…..n I aint an exception to it…but still I ll try…

1. Thesis…….well I had already written about abt my thesis woes and I always keep cribbing about how volatile my thesis topic is these days……I hope I ll soon get settled with a topic and thennn start my work…..

2. The recession…….they say it’s the worst recession since past many decades…..wahh what a timing!!……I m close to graduation ( not soo close also :P) and recession hits the job market…..as much as top companies of my field (VLSI) like Intel and Qualcomm themselves are on complete hiring freeze....i seriously hope and pray and wish that things should recover soon….
It hurts to know soo many ppl lost jobs……hw much miserable it would bewhen you are handed a pink slip without even a prior notice of 1 day : (((……it would have been real difficult to work with no job security……for once I am glad I am still in school…..
I am trying to understand this recession a lot….the sources, the pros and cons……I m very bad at economics and may b thts why I can never understand all this stuff…..but I still wonder if USA itself is in sucha bad stage, where exactly has all the money gone??......dnt start explaining that creation of virtual money concept, I already heard it but I never really exactly actually understood it :P :D…..

3. March is fast approaching….and so is my bday…..bdays have always been funn…..but not anymore……another birthday means u r another year older……n now, another year closer to marriage :P…..another year closer lo more responsibilities L(……
Life has changed a lot…..since many years….. Few years ago, only 1 thought ruled my mind……tht I shud study……n top the class…..but that was my choice….it was not a compulsion…..
But now….its a life full of responsibility…..full of self-evaluation…….Its my life now, n I am given the right to mould it as whatever I want it to be….i am completely independent now….
I always craved for being independent….until I realized how difficult it is to be….....it needs lot of guts to blame urself when sme decision of yours goes wrong……you have to work hard to stand on your own feet……u hav no choice now…….you cant escape your selfconsciousness…….:(((…
Anyway I dnt want to confuse you and confuse myself with all this psycological+mythological+philosophical stuff :P :P….

4. Becoming fat :P…..:D…well this had to be a part of my thoughts all the time…so it couldn’t escape this list :P….

5. Missing home…..well it aint fair that it came so down in the list……but thats the main thing I do all the time L(…..i really am……esp after sucha long trip to india……esp after sucha long trip full of family love, homely stay, moms food, nothing to do, lazy mornings, late nights, fun outings, friends meets, relatives affection, telugu movies in theatres, long drives on activa, well this list demands a spl blog altogether…….but esp when you gotto spend 3 months at home with no tensions in your mind, I swear those were the best days in my life…..i really cherish them to the core…..

6. Last but not the least….marraige tension :P…..i still cant believe that I ought to get married in a couple of years…..i mean, I still feel like a teenager :P :P……..how can I get married soo soon :P….

The list is not yet complete but my job shift is complete :P ……so I gotto leave…..thats it for now…c ya…

A forwarded story about Friendship...

Horror gripped the heart of a World War-I soldier, as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. The soldier asked his Lieutenant if he could go out to bring his fallen comrade back."You can go," said the Lieutenant, "but don't think it will be worth it .Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your life away."The Lieutenant's words didn't matter, and the soldier went anyway.Miraculously, he managed to reach his friend, hoisted him onto his shoulder and brought him back to their company's trench.The officer checked the wounded soldier, then looked kindly at his friend." I told you it wouldn't be worth it," he said. "Your friend is dead and you are mortally wounded.""It was worth it, Sir," said the soldier."What do you mean by worth it?" responded the Lieutenant."Your friend isdead.""Yes Sir," the soldier answered, "but it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive and Ihad the satisfaction of hearing him say.........................
