Shree Review

This is a micro review of a Kannada film called "Shree". It's one of the amazing things which happened during that blitzkrieg visit to ooty.

We had just reached ooty, had a decent dinner in Das Prakash Hotel. We just finished dinner and came out of hotel(10:00pm), wondering what to do next... We had neither booked a hotel to ward off the night nor had any plans.

There was theater in front of hotel... Named Prabha. There were two movies running in that
1.) Shree.
2.) Rama Shama Bhama.

We assumed that RSB would be put up and went to buy tickets (instant decision... We usually take decision very fast... I mean very fast), but came to know that Shree was running...Anyhow it didn't deter us from buying tickets for 10:15 pm show. We saw the movie, it was a decent movie. Infect action wise a very good movie.... Great to see Kannada movies having action scenes like this. komal's comedy was very good indeed. I promise that I will not forget shakoo's nest nor shakoo. Overall we enjoyed the Movie and came out of theater again... Without a plan. But do we need a Plan after all.............

Death Scare !!!

This is what no parents in this world would like to hear:
"Your Son Passed Away !!! ".

It all happened like this, I had gone to mysore & ooty with friends ... a real unexpected one. My Parents were initially apprehensive of the plan, but i managed to convince them... I will write more about the trip later. This particular incident happened on second day of the trip.

On second day around 8:00 pm my mom has attempted to call me on my mobile, my hutch connection has very poor coverage so i had given my friends ( sujit's) number (airtel... which boasts of good coverage). After failing to reach me on my number she has tried my friends number...... (the conversation is something like this)

My Mom : Hello
Mobile Number: Hello

My Mom : Chetange swalpa phone kodappa
In english it means: Please put chetan on line.
Mobile Number: Chetan hogbitta.
In english it means: Chetan Passed Away.

My Mom : What ! Chetan hogbittna ?!!!?
My dad sitting in living room was shocked !Both my mom and dad are in total shock.
Mobile Number: Howdu... he passed away 3 months back.

My mon tries to speak to guy on phone, inquires whether it's the same chetan or not, because the mobile guy said chetan passed away 3 months back... a glimmer of hope.

My Mom : Starts enquiring......

Finally my parents convince themselves that some other chetan has passed away and not me, but still they cannot believe what they have heard, they call my friend's(who had come with me) house and enquire about any latest information.

After 10 excruciating minutes..... Phone Rings..........TRNG TRNG..
Yahooo... It was Indeed me.

We had stopped our journey at a hotel to have some rest, after all we had passed through the steepest ghat section (kalatti road). If sudhindra had not driven the car properly(which he did very well) the above would have been true to some extent.... we all owe our lives to sudhindra and sujit( i'll write about it later). Sudhindra called his home during the break and his mother asked him to inform me that my father had called them to inquire about me. That made me call to my home.

Yeah, it was a great relief for my parents after a brief converstation with me. They were happy that phone call episode was indeed a faux.

Heart throb

Your heart must be pounding after seeing the photograph beside and not exactly throbbing ;-).

I got a photograph of this beautiful lassie through a strange phenomena called "Forwarding Mail".

I dont know any whereabouts of this dame. The photo not only makes my heart throb ... but pound. (forging is correct word)

Statutory Warning: The feelings of mine are not isolated or biased, infact most my friends who saw this snap echoed the same. I hope to see such gals in hp ..... Let's hope that this hope will not remain hope.

For Miss in Photograph: My phone number is ...... :-)

Bomb Scare...

Flash News: Bomb Set to explode @ Icon on Saturday, Time: 7:00 PM, Date: 21/01/06.




Saturday, Time: 7:22 PM, Date: 21/01/06.

It was as usual for me, working on a weekend. There was nothing special. I got a call from my friend, so I went to balcony to talk. After a while i noticed a huge congregation of 24/7 people. I thought they might be going for a Outing... outrageous imagination !

Saturday, Time: 7:32 PM, Date: 21/01/06.

After attending the phone call I went to restroom, came back after 3 mins. I met with a surprise. There was absolute lull in Embassy Icon Building, HP notwithstanding. At this point there was a security guard at reception.

Saturday, Time: 7:35 PM, Date: 21/01/06.

While returning to my desk, i saw manjunath and other guy running off the building desperately while asking me run because there is a bomb scare in the building, and they asked me not to take lift. (i dont know the reason behind that.... for whatever reason).

Saturday, Time: 7:40 PM, Date: 21/01/06.

The time was ticking away. I then rushed to my desk, didnot even bother to see the computer. I packed away my belongings, made a quick getaway. As I was comming out of office i notice that there was no security guard. There was huge traffic Jam in front of Embassy Icon as people and vehicles were rushing out to save their lives.... It was a Sadistic Fun.

Saturday, Time: 7:45 PM, Date: 21/01/06.

I finally out of Office Campus(was actually infront of foodworld) , was a great relief to be alive and kicking. I thank manjunath and other guy who saved my life in case there was a bomb.

Spoorthi.....Annual Sports Day.

Here is an attempt to Record what happened on 18th Jan 2006, yes it was Spoorthi... our annual sports event.

We(myself, Ajith & Sathya) did plan well ! Indeed Very Well. We decided to trek the urban jungles of bangalore enroute vidansouda, Cubbon park to our destination YMCA Grounds.

We had a photo session in front of VidhanaSouda. The photo beside is a result above. Then we moved on towards YMCA. It was getting very hot ... i am talking about the Sun !


Then we entered the premises of YMCA .... Sathya was already tired. It was a bright, hot day. We reached a bit late, prelims of most of the events were over and semis were in progress.
Thus we had been relegated to a designation called mute spectators.

Initially we got a bit interested in Womens 200mtrs. Later Eventually we participated in Discuss throw... obviously all three of us were throwing it for the first time in our life.
Then we had an highly productive session, entertainment wise..... We had HIGH JUMP Event.

This event was pure fun... i indeed took part in this.. but couldn't clear prelims.. thats another story.

The Event was full of adrenaline, you could judge it from the above photographs. People were ready to throw themselves to win the medal which was heartening to see.

Eventually our binary banu(Pradeep ... will write about him later) was able to break the shakles of being a glorified loser(often called as runner-up). I have to appreciate this Guy for his athletic ability..... he is real Stud ! I congragulate him for winning this event.

So after high jump event there wasn't much to see or do except for participate in a 1k walkathon which most of the people ran.... absolute cheating !!! We decided to leave venue after heat got the best of us. We had planned to come by walk, but we couldn't resist the call of Shuttle ;-)

we got down at icon and I felt like having a few snaps @ icon. so we had this photo summing up the Picnic cum Sports Day.

Here comes the ....... (pain) Blog

Ah... It's my Back... It's Aching ! Wait a min... this is not the Pain which Software Engineers get due to lack of exercise....No this is not even a CRI or Stress Related injury.

But this is due to my "No Pain No Gain" Work out in Gym. You should be wondering what made me to step in to GYM..... Read Below....


One fine day (12/7/2005 12:22:11 PM) ... In my messenger .... was the following message.

"ajay s : hey u goin to GYM these days??"

For those who don't know who ajay is, Ajay is my friend, we first met at MSRIT college where we completed our graduation in Computer Science discipline though we studied in different sections.

This Message let to a casual discussion about GYM and when each other are planning to join
Gym.....

Came the Bolt from the blues.....(i meant the message)
"ajay s : i thought we's start form next monday..."

I was bewildered, whether to say yes or no.......

My reply was .... "Cheta : this monday ... hmm .... lets Join" (why name is cheta..... wait and watch for another blog)

The GYM thing didn't happen on monday itself .... like all life forms even that idea took time and finally we did manage to step out of laziness and enter GYM on .... oh na i forgot the day... but we entered the same week.


Thus started my excursion of increasing my Weight & Muscle Building... which so far has been
fun & non forgettable experience....

One Person to thank: Ajay for it was he because of whom i went to GYM !

That's it for NOW

Revisiting my Blog.....

Due to my recent phase of documentation Life ... don't ask the amount of documentation
done by me working ( due to.... techincal conferences, publishing articles, writing IR's, ....
and what not ..... ).

The comments/feedback from the eminent reviewers & authors on my work were unanimous ....

"You have to learn Grammar :-( & your writing skills are too poor ".

Hence my attempt to learn English and write articles which can be articulated well :-)

Please bear my English .....
