A trip back in time....
April 29th 5.30 pm - A bunch of Nine guys and girls left TCS Hyderabad for a tour to places in and around the Mangalore area in Karnataka. The reason for the genesis of the trip is that Chaitra , my frnd , lives in that area and she nursed an idea like "Let's all explore the areas around my house....and were there a few places worth visiting....
April 29th 7 pm - Boarded the APSRTC bus to Mangalore.
After a good munch of Lays, Kurkure et al, Stopped at hoysula for a quick dinner. "Fiza" the movie was played and yours truly enjoyed "Piya haji ali " lots and was touched by Bose in the ear phones and Fiza in the screen....good BGM for riveting scenes in the movie.....
The next morning Jay the strong man atleast when it comes to travel became "Pukey"Man... The Shiraadi ghat in the Western ghats gave me a very stern welcome - Yours truly puked 4 times with sound effects as ppl here try to remind me...and apart from that "Nausea"stalgic event our landing at Surikumeri village in Dakshin Kannada District was peaceful...Chaitra's house is called "Kuvekodi" and is in Surikumeri....After what was a nice bath and an even better lunch for famished souls...we went aboard the Toyota qualis to "venture" into the woods towards Thala Cauvery....The route we chose to take was not the usual one and was in every sense "The Road Less Travelled". From Chaitra's grandpa's house "Gaalivana" in Thodikana which is as deserted and rocky as villages can get, we took a very sinuous and rocky road that joins miraculously at Thala cauvery - birth place of the bone of contention of TN and Karnataka....After what was a "rock and roll" ride in the open back of a "Jonga" (Jeep for the less knowledgeable) we reached Thala Cauvery at sunset time and was it a sight to relish.....
After what were 45 mins or so of absolute bliss at thala cauvery we came down the same road lesser travelled at night singing songs from movies ads and even mega serials....;)
A sumptuous dinner and intro sessions at thodikana grand pa's house later....Day one April 30 came to a halt....
Day 2 - May 1 2005...
Early rise at 6 am, then we all proceeded in another of those jonga's with our super parthasarathi - Gowreesh Maava - to Devaragundi - a waterfall that sadly had very little water but super sceneries around it....After lettin our feet dip in the water, we went to a fish pond "Meenagundi" where ravaging fishes ate all that we offered them, right out of our hands....Excellent feeling that being bitten by a toothless fish;) Then a visit to a temple later we proceeded to a hanging bridge "Aranthodu " on payaswini river...Yours truly rocked the hanging bridge and scared a few innocent tourists;)....After what was a long long ride....we went to St Mary's Island near Udupi in Malpe Beach.....The speciality of this place is that the beach has an island which is a 40 min boat ride from the coast....Brilliant swades like boat ride it was and ofcourse in that island's beach I took the plunge only to spoil my cell phone but still had a whale of a time....
Dinner that night was at "Diana" - famous for its ice cream variety "Gud bud" a Mangalore special...So that and a drive later, we reached "Patrame" another village where one more uncle of Chaitra "Prasad Maava" stays....it was a super place "Panchavati" their farm had a camp fire waiting for us...A nice camp fire later we all slept tired souls....
Day 3 May 2 2005 -
The water day....after a good breakfast ....the swimmer in me proceeded with all others towards "Shishila " River...where we all had a great time teaching, learning and performing various strokes in swimming...I was a hippo in water both in size and nature;)...That was essentially it that day ....we came back to surikumeri to catch a bus back to the bustling city life.....What a trip it was.....The villagers and chaitra's relatives were a revelation...they set me into deep thinking mode of how life should and can be....Keeping things simple, offering hearty help..I take my hat off for all of them..the entire family....All in all lots to learn from the trip...What ? that's a post in itself....
The cast - Sandeep,Chaitra,Manu,Bops,Chaitanya,Dharani,Anupama,Ice and urs truly.....
Life is good.....
p.s : the return bus journey was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....14 hrs of sleep...contented hearts, tired bodies, dreamy souls........

The Tied Rubber tube/Telephone wire made "ball" Incident and BOSE
Weird topic...I know...But when I was taking an evening 3.5 km walk alone to Hyderabad Central to buy BOSE, I saw nine guys engaging in a entertaining activity that held my attention for 10 mins....and anything that is worth my attention is worth a blog entry...Ofcourse there are other thins also that mite be discussed in this entry...
Back to the Small black ball incident...The location was a small mud shuttle court thats jus in the entry area of a road side park in SriNagar colony.....Nine small bags were hangin in trees that shelter that area from the sun durin daytime but ....the time was 6.15 in the evenin and the trees' primary role was to be a holder for all the bags of our protagonists....the nine guys were standin in a circle and a small black ball made of telephone wire/rubber tube was the object of their and a whole lot of "watchers from the sidelines'" attention....and man were they talented....
kickin the ball to each other and keepin the ball in "play", their ball skills were downright amazing.....One fella particularly was dexterous in the way he received the ball with his stomach area and nursed it like a baby before transfering it to the back of his leg and kicking it precisely to the person he intended...all of them were born entertainers and yours truly had a great time seeing the guys enjoy the game and the attention they were getting....But boy these guys deserve their place under the sun....
Bose was purchased finally...(Girish was particularly particular that I buy the album) and man it's one of the albums of the year....
Aazadi...is absolutely the patriotic song of the year...The orchestral style "Jaya Hinds" are brilliantly supplemented by our man ARR singing his lines....Especially brilliant is the way he says "Lok tere ek vatan" and "Azadi" and "Lakhon dilon ki"....excuse me if the lyrics aren't spot on....
And one more song that evoked a "play-tears on the eye, replay-goosepimples" routine some seven times was Zikr...Again by ARR..man is he the FEEL singer.....Absolutely the man to deliver songs that have feeling...And the Allaah Hu....chorus and the mantraic repetitions are mind blowing...ARR and the lyricist Javed saab are absolute geniuses in complementing music and tune with rhythmic lyric...
Sonu was at his lilting best in his two songs and "Des ki Mitti" was brilliant and reminded me of "En kaadhale"....
Guys if you haven't experienced Bose yet....please....It's a journey into our Indianness...Patriotism as girish said is an even better feeling to experience than Love;)

July 2003-May 2005 : A Journey
It's been a while since a very pleasant storm struck Girish's and my life....and We are sure that it's a life transforming bit of news..Girish and myself saw the gods granting us our long yearned for wishes - A seat in the IIMs and has it been a windfall...Girish has made it to the best of them all- IIMA, and yours truly will by his grace go to IIMB....I just wanted the "sinking in" to be completed before attempting a post..hence the delay...
It all seems like a blur- the years of effort, the disappointment of not making it last year, the pressures at work that almost made me stay in office the last 48 hours before the exam, a potentially dangerous accident that I survived with the least damage possible, the hours spent reading Business World and stuff I was totally unbothered or simply unaware of, the early morning 10 km drives in semi asleep state to the GD PI classes, the numerous chat sessions with Raama, the thousands spent in the phone discussing anything vaguely related to CAT and B-Schools with Girish, the hours spent analysing SIMCATs, the hits made to Pagalguy.com hunting down any bit of gyaan related to MBA, the pep talks of Hyd junta, the numerous times Self doubts almost got the better of me and threatened to consider calling it quits, All in all I must say God has been very very kind to me and that I am one of the most fortunate fellows on Earth...
It all started when on July 3 2003, My joining date at TCS got postponed from July 16 to October 6 and I was suddenly left with nothing to do for the next three months....That's when Raama and Kaushik Rajan asked me to consider preparing for CAT 03...Strange to note that this was how a passion was finally given the go- ahead....Something had always stopped me from writing or rather preparing for CAT....I needed that bit of "goof-up" from the TCS-HR to convince me to shrug off the laziness and put my head down....
For some strange reason, some one decided to cancel that CAT, which I had done very well ( infact that still remains my best ever CAT to date), and the re-test was a flop mainly because I just could not digest living away from my mother in Hyderabad when she was undergoing a surgery in Chennai....Well, No excuses but that's the truth.... and I still remember the LONG train journey from Chennai to Hyderabad after messing up that CAT on Feb 15 2004....BK and Vatsa were there at the station and I cried as much as I have ever...I still remember BK calling me from home that night and I spoke for 45 mins from the train toilet;)
Numerous mails, phone calls, and a needless depression later, I started to stop fooling around and face the truth and start all over again...That has to be the best decision I have made....God has carried me from then....May 04 - April 05...this entire year has been centered around the CAT...and I am delighted and thankful to god to be where I am....
Girish flying down after an MS to join my "dream chase" was a piece of magic that God decided to enforce....and our journey together has been as it always has been...
The moral of the story is something I have made a part of my Belief set...."GIVE 100% to whatever you do WITHOUT FEAR OF FAILURE"...It required this episode in life to reinforce that....
Sorry People if this was a bore to read, or too "me-centric" but I thought some readers might draw inspiration from an example of the fact that God's grace, a dream, honest effort and good guidance from family and friends can lead to that dream being realized.....
GOD IS GREAT...Hope he carries me in my future endeavours as he has so far.....

Animal Farm...Parable beyond compare
If there has to be a book that enlightens, entertains and keeps you riveted to the end that too in a matter of 100 mins and 120 pages...it has to be this book by George Orwell...
The best example to cite for "Short and sweet"...the same can be said of "Love Story" and "Alchemist" too...but this one has to rank number one jointly with The Alchemist...
People who know what it is to be in a work environ, this is one book that you can relate to, in every page and every little detail. Ofcourse, for the fresher too, it will go down as a very informative and will teach the keen reader some things to be wary of in the workplace...
What Power can do, and what egos do to an organization, and how the managers manipulate the workers, the power the voluble talker commands in any organization, and the naivette of the lower middle class....All these are brilliantly depicted in a fable par excellence...
"All animals are equal but some are more equal then others" - though this has been oft repeated...the truest truism of all....
How every noble cause is vulnerable to manipulation and how important regulation is and how dangerous over regulation is, the plus and minus of democracy, the leadership styles of managers, why a workhorse is called a WORK HORSE..Great for readers who like to go the inferential route after reading books..I would defly want to read it again and extract more gyaan...

"Music" Reloaded (into moi life)....
Man..Life at home is different with continuous music in the background. No wonder I can't pat myself enough on my back for my decision to buy that CD MAN at last....Thanks to lesser work in TCS and a renewed interest in reading..I rush home to get hold of any piece of literature(The Hindu qualifies for this as well;)) hidden motive being - listen to the amazin music that I play on the CD Man....It used to be walk man before...but the continuity and quality has improved since Walk became CD....;)
Bryan Adams with his "Cloud Number Nine...", "The only thing that looks good on me", "Inside Out" etc and ofcourse "Summer of 69" is high on my playlist....
As far as Rajaa is concerned...there are some 120 songs from the 80s that are all Beauties...some chupaa rustums that I look for being..."Pon Maane Sangeetham", "Naan Paadum Mauna Raagam" and "Vaan uyarndha solaiyile"..
Out of the ARR wonders "Mudhal murai killi" and "Oru poiyaavadhu sol" were recent addictions...
Comin to Latest stuff...My respect and awe for Vidyasagar is growin by the day...Man
that "Vizhiyum Vizhiyum" from sadhurangam is abso-bloody-lutely the victory of good ol' melody....So too his "Konja neram" from chandramukhi....His "Vamba velaikku" from Ji had me dancing yday;)
Kaadhal and its "Unakkena iruppaen",Kaadhal theme, and ofcourse " thottu thottu" made me realize one thing...Haricharan is the next big thing in Tamil music...absolute bliss each time i listen to these three songs....Taht female harini sudhakar is very cute in singing that "Kaadhal" last line of saranam....
Among other favourites..."Kaadhal Valarthen","Kan pesum vaarthai", "ninaithu ninaithu" get the psycho in me going...Especially, hats off to Karthik in "Kan pesum vaarthai"...;ROFL remembering the mimicry session on singers that we had in Giri's place this weekend in chn....
So much for my Musi-Mania....and my musing mania on my musi-mania....
Suggest more such songs which i can load and enjoy my evenins....
p.s
Check out the side bar of my blog.,..It now contains the latest books I read...

Sachin...Who are you?
As the little master trots towards his tenthousandth run i was tempted to take a tour down memory lane...I thought Sachin Tendulkar must have read "Who Moved my Cheese" by Spencer Johnson...Sachin merits being studied as a case in top b schools as an example of a successful professional who changed with the times...The causes that necessitated the changes being....Himself, his team, his fans, his opponents, his critics, and fate.... Change is a permanent entity and there is no one who is not a victim to change,...but whether all adaptation is positive is a question to ponder over indeed....
In sachin's case, A fast ferrari encountered a small traffic jam in a race track, and had some riding to do in a crowded street, but the changes made to the engine and the car were such that it drove the same way even after the track cleared and the conditions perfect for high speed driving. This sums up the effect of change on Sachin the master blaster....
With no offence meant to sachin, He needs to take a feather out of Sehwag's book and rediscover the joys of batting, that he gave to millions worldwide. Making batting a laborious exercise is a compulsion of lesser mortals, and they dont resort to it by choice, So when someone as ridiculously gifted as Sachin bats like a worker bee, it is a loss to world cricket...
One sincerely hopes and prays that once the self inflicted burdens of the 35 centuries and the Top scorer in world cricket are off his shoulders, he again makes a symbolic debut in world cricket and starts as he did as a cherubic teenager who was a stealth bomber with bat in hand. Setting and beating Records don't merit genius, but delighting crowds and scaring the s**t of bowlers requires GENIUS...and when a genius bats like a overworked factory labourer struggling to make ends meet, One can only pity the vissicitudes of the human psyche...
Sachin...You know yourself like the world knows you...That's what we all want....
