IN INDIA

15. Have to pay extra on meter even after risking our lives in the rash driving of autowalas. :P

11. I jus cant imagine life without 'WALK' signals to cross the road :P :P....
10. Crimes just happen.....So does the criminal get punished? Yaa, He ll definetely die his natural dealth :P, Didnt u read the story "God sees the truth, but waits" ? :P.......Oh! Then what about criminal justice?? Ah! Just forget it! :P

2. Sloggin like a dog from 8am - 6pm will earn you as much as a parttime job in US ll earn :((.....So the obvious reason why ppl r migrating abroad is money money n money :P.....(Whoever said money cannot buy happiness, simply dint knw where to go shopping :P)
1. Being 24, to me, staying in India is as gud as getting married :P :P.....but i want some more time to earn, enjoy, live my life, be independent blah blah blah :P :P

Whats so bugging about it?

I couldn’t believe I was actually driving to Las Vegas with my friends….. It was one of my must-visit-places of US but I dint expect this to be so soon….. Exciting it was indeed….Cincinnati never really gave a feel of USA :P…..so I was hoping to find the feeeel in LasVegas atleast ;)…..Reached there by 3pm…..we were staying at my friend’s place…..lucky tht I made friends with her :P…….after getting fresh and having sme food, we set out to explore the city….it was already night and the city looked awesome with the marvelous buildings and the lights…...felt like US of A ;)……the obvious place to visit was a casino…..after some research and debate on which casino to select we finally decided on one……though others were keen to go to another one, somehow I wanted this one….some six sense I guess….some feeling tht this place is calling me types :P..........as we entered, it felt like v hav entered a new world…..casino is a place which can a bit overwhelming for the first timers….n all of us were there for the first time….being students (by grace of recession :P) we decided not to stay inside for much long :)……coz the temptation of a gambling is well known….we started playing and it was indeed interesting n exciting….till v started losing :P……after reaching the limit which I set for myself I stopped playing further……there came the announcement of the jackpot…..n I choose to play for it…..i somehow knew I was gonna win it …..it was a strange feeling as though I started knwing the future….the feeling wasn’t tough to handle coz the results were supposedly be out in 5 more mins…..so the truth of my forecast will be known in mere minutes…..but the only thing which disturbed me the most was , what if I really win it?.....the jackpot was worth 50 million dollars…..n i wasn’t even sure how many zeros it has :P…...what will i do with soo much of money, i wondered.......it was the wheel of fortune game….the ball rolls 7 times and all the stops have to match the corresponding digit of the number u bid……miraculously the first 6 digits matched my bid……..n the ball started rolling…n rolling n rolling…….the feeling was simply the feeling :P….i mean it cnt be put to words :P….the fear, the anxiousness, the tension, the excitement……hmmm no more excitement actually :P…..it was complete tension n fear ……...i was almost close to a nervous breakdown :P………..riding the diamond back at kings island felt much better :P ……n the ball finally stoppeddd….n I cud hardly believe my eyesss…..the number was indeed 3 and I actually won 50 million dollars…..words failed me….it was as if I suddenly became dumb like in movies :P…..
“ouuchhhhhhhhhh” I shouted…..n slapped my leg…
Involuntarily my eyes got opened to find a bed bug dead between my palm and leg…..only to realize how bugging the bed bugs can be to spoil one of your favourite dreamsss :P :P…..how much I wished I could see what I did after owing soo much money :P….may b I wud have bought the skirt I soo much liked during my last week shopping :P…..but could not buy it coz students cannot (shouldnot :P ) spend soo much for a skirt……money is indeed important for life I thought :P
Ok so the intention of this blog is to let out my frustration on bed bugs….n I wasn’t doing a gud job till now :P coz I hardly mentioned them…..i want them to know how much I HATE them…I really do…..i never hated anyone this much in my life :P (so far :P).....the innumerable sleepless ichy nights.....the rashes after the bites......the iritating feeling while it bites.......aahhhhhh, makes life miserable......bugs can really be soooo bugging :((......they r like omnipresent in my house :P......starting new families almost everywhere......
Beg bugs come in various sizes n shapes......n i m unfortunate enuf to witness all the stages of a bed bug's life cycle :P.......n the first of the life cycle is the most bugging bug.....coz it is almost invisible......so u cnt see it, but u can definetly feeeel it ...i mean after the bite :P.......nowadays i am damn scared of darkness, not bcoz of fear of ghosts (as earlier :P) but because of these little irrittating frustating bugging creatures.....i knw they help me stay awake when i have projects due for submission :P.....but still, i cant giveup my sleep for any damn thing......n i hate them to the CORE for what they do to me every day :((.....they really suck!!.....may b i am soo sweeet tht they jus luv my blood, but its not my mistake u knw :P :P....
Getting rid of bed bugs is sucha painful and hysterical process.....you are supposed to laundry allllllll of your clothes and bedsheets.......clean the matress and spray the bug spray......n the bug spray feels soo poisonous tht i myself feel giddy when spraying it.....n STILLLL it hardly seems to have affected these stupid bugs......coz even after this entire process they still seem to be hale and healthy :P.....they r back with a bang the same night :(((......last month my schedule evry night was to get up every 1 hr for every real or imaginary itch on my body, only to find atleast 4 big bugs on my comforter......kill them.....n again go back to sleep with a sense of achievement :P.....but recently the microscopic invisible bugs population tuk a leap and so i could hardly see them forget abt killing them......we reported the problem to our house owner and he arranged for an extermination......n i was really hoping for a miracle tht all of them wud jus disappear from our house.....no more sleepless ichy nights i thought......the extermination was yday afternoon and i was indeed happy to go back to sleep aloneeee :P ( i mean i dnt need to share my bed and comforter with anyone anymore!!! :P)......i was happily sleeping.....untill 4 am....when i was forced to get up......only to find 7 bugs on my comforter again !!!!!.......Wat the heck!!.....
I just cant put my hatred towards them in words.....i hate them so much tht i feel happy by killing them :P......they r such coward creatures :P....they attack when i m asleep.....shame on them :P.....they dont come out in day light.....they r backstabbing creatures who cant face the enemy directly :P.....they sleep on my bed, they live in my house n instead of being grateful for all this, they feed on my blood !!!......
Sleep is smething i love the most n i cannot afford to lose it for anyone.....esp its intolerable if its for these undeserving and ugly looking creatures....but then ther is no way out :((.......they proved their potent....extermination was my last resort......n they survived it.....n now i have to make my own plans......like working on thesis all night everyday and sleep at 6am :P :P ( sleeping at 6am isnt funny but working on thesis indeed is :P )......or may b i shud sleep in the hall on the couch( without the a/c :( ....its bad idea.).....or may b i shud take a sleeping bag to my lab n sleep ther :P....n if my advisor finds me even sleeping in the lab , she ll b imprssed.....or may b horrified :P.....coz the pace of my thesis work doesnt even remotely match working hard soo much :D.......or may b i shud drink some grape juice or cough syrup ( substitute of alcohol for girls :P) and sleep soundly......hmmm i dnt knw but i have to find a way out.....i dnt want to impair my precious sleep and wonderful dreams for these bugs....
Since i was a child, i beileved that every life form on this earth should be respected....but after my experiences with the bed bugs, i added an exception to it....

Thankyou..Ramya and Shaila

ANYWAY

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Be good anyway.
Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People need help but will attack you if you help them.
Help them anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway
- by Mother Theresa

Give ur brother cuitie gifts but U may not get any from him.
GIVE him anyway.
Care for your brother but He might be cruel enough to talk very less.
CARE for him anyway.
Love ur brother all u can but U may not probably see his love.
LOVE him anyway.
I may live my own life at this horrible place but Still be my twin soul sister.
Coz I cant live without you anyway!

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...
