The Break-up.


Man just leave me alone. I can't tolerate you anymore. You have done enough to me for the last 9 months and I just can't listen to your words. You are torturing me like anything. Mind your own business .Please go to hell. I ll never wish to see you again.

This is what Maggi managed to say her last words to Vicky after 9 month long relationship by leaving vicky in a state of absolute darkness. What wrong did vicky commit?! Why did he do that?! They are supposed to be the budding new pair in their college. What made them drift apart?! Will they never get back together?! 

Welcome to "The Break-up" where I take you to a super ride on how my love life went high with all colors flying and where it suddenly crashed down to earth. Life isn't rosy to me all the time. All I did was loving her badly and believing that she means the world to me. And Finally It paid off.

April 15, 2012 (The Day I saw her 1st Time at College Library)

It's just another normal day in my life where I was roaming all around the campus with my mate "Jay" to figure out one good looking chick in a bunch of "ok-looking-girls". However Its almost like hoping against the hope. So we took the stair case way to reach Dept. of Eelectronics and Communication Engineering where we have a crew of Teaching staff who actually hailed from Madhya Pradesh. And here we are with Mr. Krish (Who currently handles the classes to my juniors) and this is when he started saying about the girl named "Maggi" a junior to me and basically she belongs to somewhere from Madhya Pradesh. 

Based on the credentials me and Jay started gathering the info by discussing it with the juniors in contact and that worked so nicely and I saw her on the same day at library. She looked like an angel to me with beautiful eyes and carefully carved nose and coming to lips they were fresh and fantastic. Huh. God! I'm totally Impressed with this girl. I said to myself. Meanwhile Jay was busy tracing out for someone who makes him feel interesting. However he don't have to look for someone as he deserve someone living around Trichy. 

I had a talk with her the very next day at the same library spot and she was surprised to see me introducing all by myself. She was good initially and all went alright at that point of time. She started responding to the kind of affection that I'm showing towards her and soon we exchanged email ids so that we can have a chat at least once in a day.  

June 27, 2012

Jay suddenly came running towards me and informed me about the dance competition that was about to held in our campus and I'm totally excited to prove my talent above all. And to my goodness "Maggi" was a classical dancer and I'm totally head over heels to see her performing on stage with me all around. This is going to be the euphoria which I came across by reading many books I thought. We had a long chats online and thanks to Gmail for providing me such a user-friendly online website. Soon we exchanged our numbers and there is no second thought of taking aback with this girl. I'm falling for her slowly. And there is nothing going around my mind except the day of the competition. I'm geared up and roaring to give my best shot. 

I tried to help her in the best possible way just to make sure that she is comfortable with my company and I'm Glad she liked it. All my friends came to know that I'm in love with her and they straight away wished me All the very best for selecting the best girl ever fits into my life. Everyday before I call it a day I used to talk to her on phone muttering all the happenings of the day and patiently listening to hers. She is so sweet to hear. Voice is her biggest asset. And I wonder how girls manage to be so sweet all the time. 

July 15th, 2012

Well, This is the day I'm eagerly looking for the last 15 odd days and It started up on a high node. I saw "Maggi" acknowledging me at the university campus. It felt so good. Actually I was totally tired by over doing the practice for the last 2 weeks and I can sense my legs paining and I'm no where going to carry my legs for the next 6-8 hours. I rushed towards the Registration counter to check the timing of my turn as I was one of the contenders of the day. I didn't even find my name in the enrolled list. I lodged a kinda protest there with some of my friends to include my name into the list. But they didn't listen to me. They said the schedule is fully packed and can't revise it. Instead they apologized me for some wrong happenings during the registration process. All the effort I've put on this totally went in vain. This can't happen to me really.  (I'm disappointed) 

Soon recovered from that debacle and looked around for "Maggi" and she was about to meet her mom at the dressing room. She dressed up nicely so as to make me love her more than anything else. She is goddamn beautiful I say.

An hour later the program started and I chose a perfect place to make sure I can visibly see the entire stage when Maggi make her way. I waited patiently for her turn to come and finally it came after 27 long minutes and I was looking out for my mobile to record it all while she is performing. And I covered it with my N8 and the best part is the application that I've downloaded last night was the best out of the best. The outcome was mind blowing.

That day she introduced me to her mom and we had a long chat through out and had lunch at the University canteen. I don't know. I'm getting very much close to this family. They are really nice people. I thought. I really liked being with this girl no matter what happens.

September 19th, 2012

My college life will come to an end with this academic year and everyone are pondering over what next?! The campus placements were just around the corner and all the toppers in my dept. got themselves immersed in solving deadly aptitude and trying their best to memorize the technical subjects in their area of interest. Some are looking for Govt. Jobs and some are just passing the time off. I've my own plans under stock. I'm planning to US to do MS. For that I even started with GRE Training which is a 3 days program in a week. Days are going very well by chatting and phone mutterings with "Maggi" and finally I end up conversation with her late night and collect some sleep with the rest of the night. I'm loving this feeling and living in it.

September 29th, 2012

I can see the world coming crashing down towards me suddenly as nothing is really going good between Maggi and me. May be misunderstandings are the part of any strong relationship. I've proposed her a long back that I would like to marry her once I set things right up. May be after 5 years from now. I don't think its a bad idea at all. She is skeptical with my proposal. I don't want to rush her to take any decision on it now. Though it's too early to take a call about wedding bells.

Her Birthday was on Oct 27th. and I tried my best to save sufficient bucks to gift her something which she might be surprised at. I revised the best gadgets online and opted to gift her a brand new Apple ipod touch with a capacity of 64GB which costs approx 24K. Certainly that was way out of my proportion but I made it. Just for her. She keeps listening to songs all time. We almost made a kinda marketing for the audio of "Andala Rakshasi" where the audio did well in the market than the movie. We loved listening to those songs.

October 2nd, 2012 

Well the blossoms of my love life shattered in just 10 days time and she started taking on me for reasons which no one can even wish to consider. She didn't even show interest to attend my calls. Not replying to the mails I did to her for the last 4 days. She hardly makes an eye contact with me at the bike parking bay. Everything seems to be not alright. Her friends are staring at me as if I had made out with some other girl under their direction. All of a sudden I landed in wholesome troubles and I've no idea why she is doing this to me.

I have planned a lot for her Birthday. I wanted this one to be one of the memorable Birthdays in her life till date. I even took an off day at college to shopping and bought the ipod that I thought of to present her on the day. But now she is shutting the doors on me. Why??!!

I didn't commit any mistake. We have had some quarrels and we soon ended up by cracking jokes at each other and there is no point of taking anything serious from those discussions. But something is bothering her. I need to know it all.

October 9th, 2012

I'm losing all my strength just by thinking a lot about her leaving my personal aspects into drain. I have not taken proper food for the last week days and I can feel the illness in me. I don't want to see a doctor. But Maggi is all I need. I need to talk to her. Sort out things between us and live happily as we are just a couple of months back. I need all that happiness back to me. Right now.

I called up Maggi while going to have my dinner and she answered my call finally. Oh! God. I'm thankful. I said. She didn't even wait for me to talk as she started gunning the bullets sharp and straight with the same agenda hurting me badly. This is how the conversation went.

Me: Hey Wassup?! Thanks for answering the call. I was dying actually.

Maggi: Listen. I don't want to talk to you now. Please leave me alone.

Me: What's bothering you dear?! Tell me. I really want to know it now.

Maggi: You are torturing me. Disturbing me. Please don't talk to me.

Me: Are you mad?! Am I torturing you?! I'm just loving you to peaks. You find wrong in that?!

Maggi: Yes. I used to be at Zenith in the beginning and you spoiled it completely. I'm hardly studying now.

Me: Ow. Do you think I'm letting you down and distracting you out of everything??!

Maggi: Yes.

Me: Don't say that. It's totally different. Love can't really distract you from your studies. Unless you don't  believe in you.

Maggi: I don't mind all those. I don't want you. please leave me alone.

Me: Wat else?!

Maggi: Nothing.

Me: Do you have anything left to say?!

Maggi: Don't call or mail me anymore.

Me: Fuck you. I did a real mistake loving you badly without knowing what you had to say to me finally.

Maggi: Mind your language.

Me: I admit it. It suits better. I've been so generous to you. But I never expected this. Lesson learnt.

Maggi: No response.

Me: I'm sorry for being rude. I ll talk to you later. Bye.

I don't have anything left to do now. Totally depressed. I had come across sleepless nights from then. I allowed myself to take sleeping pills not many but at least 1 a day to slip into sleep. Trying to leave her thoughts behind and hoping to have a clean snooze after all.



Finally the end titles has to be scrolled down for "The Break-up" If not the readers would take serious charges on me for brutally harassing them with this post.

The Author Speaks.

Hello everybody. Firstly I would like to appreciate your patience for reading my post. Fortunately I'm the Author for this one. The term Author itself gets me goosebumps. Coming to the story, The Idea of penning it down came very casually and I never thought I would make it this huge. Thanks to Vicky for making me write this one. I would largely appreciate your ego for giving me all the details that I require.

The phone conversation is an edited version even though that doesn't seems to carry anything in a productive manner I just wanted to portray how the conversations are being organized in a self manner with no point to talk about. And It shows. 

This is nothing less than a gripping story. Not every love story have a great ending. Some break-up with silly reasons and some break-up by having additional affairs and so and so. But this not of that kind. It has something unique of its own. They have been good for 9 months and all of a sudden she drops him down for the reason that she was unable to concentrate on her activities. As simple as that. It can even taken as lack of maturity.

At the end of the day All I can wish is they have to get back to normal. Realizing their errors and start a new life with the same kind of love they carried in the beginning. I hope they do.

Finally I've too many hopes resting on it that reader would surely like it. If you really like it. Thank you very much. If you don't like it. I'm really sorry for disappointing you. I ll come up better the next time.

Please make sure that you comment your views in the comment box so that it makes me feel like getting something out of it. I would really appreciate commenting. No matter whether it's positive or negative. I take it all.

Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu


Once again Power Star Pawan Kalyan (PSPK) is back with his latest flick "Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu" after hitting the Box office with "Gabbar Singh" the expectations on CGTR reached peaks under the direction of Puri Jagannadh.

Right after the movie screened at theaters the hungama went viral all over the states and overseas theaters too have no exception in that. The craze for PSPK is entirely different compared to other actors. The Charisma and Enigma of his acting shows up.

 Somewhere I felt like the movie lacked the kind of marketing before the release as I could sense the availability of tickets in Chennai city malls went drastically down. But soon recovered by the end of the day with house-full collections. And Thanks a hell lot to Telangana Supporters who stirred a political controversy on this flick. The movie now is on cards everywhere. Now theaters in chennai are running full just because of the controversy they have created made the local people to watch the movie for second time in a row.

Being an admirer of PSPK I've a take on his movies where some may consider and some may cut off with my opinion and I don't mind about all those after all.  I went watching up all his movies traveling for the least of 40kms to reach the locality where the movie was actually screened. And there are mixed situations where I felt extreme happy with the outcome. And utter disappointment with below par contents.



Well this CGTR has a very good content and directed in his own style where he adds extra bit of spice with item song and all the mass elements to satisfy every individual fan. And I must say that he full filled it in all aspects.

Tamannah's acting was little disappointing as it felt like she was trying to dominate Power Star. It's well known fact that people just come to Pawan's movie only to watch him but not for the others. They want him to be on screen for all those 180 odd mins and it fell way short of it in this one.

The dialogs in the movie were just fantastic. There is no point of tagging it to regional controversies. But they did. Part of Politics.

Some wordings from Pawan really made a lot sense which Includes " Saamaajika Baadhyata kante Vyakthigatha Baadhyatha mukyam!" and he cut the shot at the youth saying that blabbering about the issues happening must be seriously condemned. As you know words are easy to spray. But Action matters. 

Here are some Telugu Wordings from the movie: (Non-Telugu Readers I'm sorry for causing trouble)

రూపాయి సంపాదన లేనోడు కూడా PM తన కేబినెట్ లో ఏమి నిర్ణయాలు తీసుకోవాలో చెప్పేస్తున్నాడు..
జీవితంలో క్రికెట్ బాట్ ఎప్పుడు పట్టుకొని వాడు, సచిన్ ఆ ఓవర్ లో ఆ బాల్ కి ఏ షాట్ కొట్టాలో కూడా చెప్తాడు..
సొల్లు సొల్లు సొల్లు ఎదవా సొల్లు కబుర్లు...
కాసేపు దేశాన్ని తిట్టుకుంటాం , నాయకులని తిట్టుకుంటాం, ప్రభుత్వాని తిట్టుకుంటాం..........

అసలు ఎవడికి సోషల్ రెస్పాన్సిబిలిటీ లేకుండా పోయింది అని తెగ
నోక్కేసుకుంటాం ........
గుంజేసుకుంటాం
పిస్కేసుకుంటాం
కాని మనం ఇక్కడ తెల్సుకోవాల్సింది ఏంటి అంటే సామాజిక బాధ్యత కంటే ముఖ్యమైంది వ్యక్తిగత బాధ్యత........ నువ్వు బాగుంటే దేశం బాగుంటుంది.


These are the points to be noted. (Makes sense) Isn't it.?! 

A simple Instance for what Pawan Kalyan's movies is all about. 

 

It's 2012 and it's CGR's 1st day at Hyderabad. (Source: Pawanism) 


I don't see any movies starting off in such a way. Pawan Deserves it all. 


Coming to the Involvement of fans I follow the updates of Pawanism on Facebook. I would like to personally thank the administrator of making it such huge with 30K+ followers and counting. Bro you run the best page on facebook. Such a hyperactive page that was. My Best wishes. Keep rocking. 


The first day I was at Rakki Cinemas (Chennai) and a guy at the popcorn counter asked me in his Tamil Accent. Who is the hero in the movie?! 

It's Power Start Pawan Kalyan I replied. 

Is he the hero in Gabbar Singh? And is this better than that? he questioned within a second span. 

Yes he is the Gabbar Singh of Telugu Film Industry and he is back with CGR. I replied.

And then It Rained.


Rain: The condensed moisture of the atmosphere falling visibly in separate drops. This is what google says about rain.

I believe this is the only area where google fails to satisfy people describing the true meaning of rain. We people know a lot about rain. And there are some block busters in every Industry which relate their movies on it. 

It gives us pleasure and rejuvenate us. More importantly it makes surroundings way better than it was before.

And here, there is a man so called Gaurav Dashputra who had something to say about a bloke named Aman and his relationship with rain in his 1st fiction titled "And then it Rained...Coz life ain't always a fairytale."

"Its better to let go of someone who loves you..than keeping him in..love with you when you know you cannot be with him forever..."

This is what Aarti had told Aman a night before she left him forever...with nothing but those memories of the rains.

Rains have always been SPECIAL! And he believes that all bad things in his life will come to an end with the rains.

Nagpur...That is where Aman Sarin has lived all his life. That is where he dreamt that someday he would be the next big thing in Bollywood. 

After moving to Mumbai to pursue his education his life is nothing short of a fairytale..he has what most teenagers want..a great group of friends..the charm and the popularity..and to top it all a hot girlfriend. 

They say life is a viscous circle of sorrow and happiness. So what happens when Aman's fairytale goes wrong? What makes him the guy whom everyone hates...when once he was the guy everyone adored.

Will Aman put back the pieces of his life and rise above all else? Will his dream of filling SRK's shoes ever come true? 

But most importantly for Aman..after a rough summer..Will it Rain??
 

 ______________________________________________________________________________


Firstly I would like to recommend this book to all adolescents out there. It's a perfect combo pack for readers as It contained love, emotions, romance what not?! The first 185 pages will raise you questions in your mind on why Aman is behaving in such a fashion?! And then the author breaks the silence in 186th page of the book which I predicted something like this might have happened ;)

Aman Sarin comes from nowhere to Mumabi to make sure all his dreams comes true when he joins at Dr. D.Y.Patil Medical college. He starts up well in his initial days to earn his own good name.  

The first love days with Aarti, followed by Riya's where I had a second thought of working out with distance relationship. However It didn't really happen to me. Not a happy ending in this one too.

The GOA trip of the trio was fabulous where one has to surely make their way to such a trip in his/her lifetime where you can cherish those memories for a long long time.

Aman was dejected at the end. He lost the plot completely at one point of time. Such a funny guy with crazy acts made a lot sense in the book. And his sudden dismissal made me feel bad.

Kudos to Author for making this one. Even though every story don't have a happy ending the authors keep changing the slot of the genre and make some modifications to sound good with a happy ending just to get the appraisal of the readers as everyone wish to end the book on a happy node. However this man is against all odds. He made his point clear and conveyed what he actually wanted to say. It's a risk to take up that task after whole lot of writing. I liked this one a lot :) 

Fortunate thing is It's raining cats and dogs out here at Chennai where I settled down before my desktop and writing a review post on "And Then It Rained" with a hot hot samosa's under fantastic climatic conditions.

And here we go. 

Gaurav Dashputra: 

 

Thank you :)

English Vinglish.


It's all about Sri Devi Vs Angrezi  in English Vinglish. Similarly It's Hindi Vindi for me. Being a South Indian I strongly regret for ignoring Hindi for these 20 years in my life time. And now in a desperate situation looking around the corners to seize the opportunity of learning the language asap. Well, with the kind of movie making skills that the Bollywood directors acquires made me look over. And the limited number of movies that I watched in Hindi remains the Block Busters in their respective years. Starting with Lagaan, Chak De India, Taare Zammen Par, Slum Dog Millionaire, 3 idiots, Ra One, English Vinglish.


I chose to watch movies when someone says that it was doing good. I don't experiment much on watching movies with the word go as soon as it hit the screens. More Importantly I take a look at the movie description before taking a chance. (Especially the movies which are unknown to me)

While Watching the movie I thought of making a post on this and fell short of words to describe the way Gauri Shinde directed the movie. And I guess I'm not good enough to judge the Bollywood making as I'm not in to that scene for now. So I'm looking for my friend @ Twitter who taught me the basics of Blogger in the early Stage of my Blogging. That's (Abhilash Veeru Ruhela) One of the Best Blogger in India. He made a post on English Vinglish. And I'm here to recommend the post he made about the movie.

The Missed Call.


Natasha, the heartthrob of the Presidency convent, lost her stardom, her pride and her boyfriend overnight, and had no idea what hit her.

She seeks revenge on the girl she suspects to have caused it all - Ananya. 

She is not going to take her downfall lying down. And now that she has her hands upon something that can ruin Ananya's life, she can't wait to have her vengeance. 

To gain back her pride, she aims to come out on tops in the most prestigious quiz competition in the city and accidentally teams up with her once-upon-a-time best friend Shreya. 

Shreya stays at a distance, and sees Natasha destroy herself in hatred, revenge and pain. 

It aches her to see her throw her life away like this. But what can she do about it?

The Backbenchers -The Missed Call! Traces the story of Natasha Malhotra, as she struggles with depression, suicidal tendencies, vengeance and the loss of social equity. 

Will she get her old life back?! 

Or will she destroy herself in the process?!

________________________________________________________________________________


The Missed Call from The Backbencher series written by Sidharth Oberoi. Well, It was my second read from Grapevine India publishers. And 1st book I purchased for just 40bucks via Homeshop18. I've never got a book for such a great discount. Previously it was "The 3 Mistakes of My Life" by Chetan Bhagat which I sealed it for 48 bucks when the prices are at all-time lows. Soon after my purchase it went up to 98 and made constant by itself. 



As a matter of fact I've ordered this book without any hesitation just by seeing the price tag on it which showed Rs. 40. And soon realized that It was from Grapevine India and expected this to be a complete Romantic work as IINF. But It's not that romantic. 

The content connected well. Genre was good. A lucid way of writing. I completed reading it in just 3 sittings just because I take my time while reading. 

Shreya was so sweet and sensitive. Natasha had to face it all by her attitude. Ananya too sounded sweet. And some additional names like Rana, Yuvraj have played their role in the whole process. 

Kudos to the Author who made it an all-round performance by leading the readers to a ride which contains Love, Hatred, Fun, Relationships, Emotions. 

The way Natasha's parents drifted apart and the consequences after her mother left and the way her dad responds to her mischievous act of ending her life. All Framed well :)

The Quiz that took Natasha and Shreya back to their olden days. And the kind of thrill that placed over the competition. And finally I was taken by surprise with the result of the Quiz against Bishop. 

It was all-in-all a good read. And my impression towards Grapevine India went up to a great extent. 

Thank you Sidharth Oberoi.

Thank you Grapevine India. 


The Day I lost My Cool.


Note: I don't recommend to read this post. I just want to show off my agony in the best suitable way. So I chose my blog as a medium so that I'm allowed to speak whatsoever I feel like. I'm sorry for not making anything interesting here. 

It's a collective failure of executing plans and timing which lead to a miserable day where I ended up losing my cool. I used to be at Zenith of timing and executing activities and it's hard to digest you have nothing left but to surrender before someone who is not so worthy as you are. 

People speak about a term called "pressure" and it can get the best out of oneself and vice-versa. My mind says I respond well to pressure. I've been there under pressure every time. So far I produced the best results when I was under pressure. I actually enjoy being under pressure. But now, Times changed. I'm no more good at handling pressure. 



Agony, Anguish, torment, suffering, throe and a lot more be the substitute words for anger. And some F words too scattered in. It went viral in my head a day before this post. Brutally or viciously thrashed in a certain manner. I felt like taking on their insensitive act. But there are "n" number of reasons that pulled me back. 

I do believe Indian Universities are great and the dark side is that the Universities are afflicted by the quintessential Indian phenomenon of academic pressure, probably highest in the world. (It's the modified version from What Young India Wants) and the reason is that you are under closed doors. You have no option but to take the bow what the concerned faculty had to say for you. 

The Indian system teaches us how to draw the borders between the issues. How to take on others, how to betray others and many more. Is this what a student actually come for?! We speak about democratic India and many live without knowing what democracy is all about. Forget about Imagination, Creativity and skills. Some basic principles are to followed by colleges which must be a mandatory one.And you do fix some rules for students and make a way for progress. 

I feel sorry for my management for not understanding me properly. I don't understand the reason behind a special class for students who are a weak at academics. I give a big damn about this because treating every student in a same manner doesn't give you results. You have to adapt to the coping mechanism with the students and then expect something better. 

Interestingly my schedule for the current semester is fully packed. I've been dragged into a position where I've never been till date. It's a combo and Jumbo kind of situation where holding the nerves and handling pressure matters lot than how you prepared. And to a failure like me, I've to fire all cylinders in order to gain some momentum. And the occasion is all set for blazing guns on Dec 15th 2012. Hope I make it to the fore.

My words goes in vain just because people don't listen to a man who failed many a times. So I opted to teach you people a lesson with my doings. I've been nice to you. And you didn't care. Now, You see what the other end of me can do. I lost my cool and patience.

And Finally at the end of the day. I made my way into the world of brilliance where there are people who spot on every single mistake you commit and teach you a lesson. I ll be thankful to all you people. And now that dependency on parents came to end It's my turn to do my part. Hope I do it with great onus.

3 Consecutive Days @ SRM University


Almost done with 4 years of Graduation and never been to a workshop. I was pondering about what went wrong for not making it to any of the workshops that are organized in some Biggie Universities like SRM and VIT. I patted my back not to give up this opportunity which eventually came my way. I'm happy with my decision after all. The registration process went dramatically as I never expected myself to land at SRM finally replacing Yeshwanth (My Friend) at college who was actually supposed to attend.

I've been there at SRM many a times and it was all about 5-6 hours spending in the campus and getting back to home. This time the scenario was different as this workshop on "Developing Android and Blackberry Applications" is subjected to be a 3 day program and I'm excited about having some good time at one of the Top Universities in India.

The very first thought that flashed through my mind was I can make an interesting post once I end up my 3 day campaign. And I revised myself to make 3 posts on this workshop categorizing with Day1, Day2, and Day3. However, I felt that would certainly irk my readers and dropped down the idea. So All-in-all This will be the only post.

Here, I would like to justify why SRM is credited to be one of the Top Most University?!

The Infrastructure, Resources, Culture, Opportunities, Finally, Angels of the college.

The Arch of SRM University which leads to Main Block, Tech Park, Auditorium, Medical Hospital and a hell lot more. They have diversified the roads with some specific names. (I don't remember much.)


We had our Workshop at Tech Park Block which stands tall for 15 floors. And we are at 12th floor conference hall for 3 good days. It takes a 15min casual walk for anyone to get into Tech Park from the main entrance and we made it a little slow on the 1st day of our workshop just to make sure we had enough fun throughout.

Aerial view of the campus from 12th Floor. Tech Park.


By the time I reached the conference hall at 12th floor the participants almost got themselves involved into their laptops and giving their best to reach out the lecture. And soon we got settled at the last row which made us feel comfortable just below the Air-conditioner. It felt good after such a hectic journey. I started looking into my laptop and started downloading all the tools that are required for the Application to run. And I'm Trying Trying Trying and the Wi-Fi at SRM campus is not that good to download at a constant speed. It took half a day to install the software. Fortunately by the time I completed downloading the tools It's time for lunch. And we were all set to go for the lunch @ 4th floor. A little excited on how the food arrangements were made but the disappointment was just around the corner. They served us a meal packs which hardly contains 3-4 liquids and a piece of pulka which tasted ok. But the best part of lunch session was we were allowed to take "n" number of  papads placed in a huge cover just by the side. We 4 are good at utilizing the opportunities and we had it all until our bellies were full.



We then had our self organized campus tour in search of some entertainment and walked through SRM Medical hospital and Auditorium and then back to tech park. Jumped on to our respective seats and started following up. It's really hard to cover-up our snooze once after having a meal. However, we don't want those 1000 bucks invested to go in vain. The support staff for the workshop were decent and kind. They helped us a long way. Finally they call it a day with a test for fun Tab which will be awarded to the best performer for the 3 days. (I've no hopes resting on it anymore. We are way out of that league)



The Final day started on a high node. I was totally dumbstruck to see a full packed hall where my place for the last 2 days were occupied by a group of students from so-and-so college. Whatsoever I found my crew at the last corner seats of the hall and made my way towards them and soon got settled. The first session almost passed just like the last 2 days and nothing going great as far as developing application are concerned. The morning session is a shorter one compared to the 2nd session and by the time it beats 12:30 we were allowed for lunch. We set our laptops right on the desks and got down to 4th floor expecting a big treat for the final day. Yay! Fortunately they changed the menu. Its all like a north Indian Thali where they served 4 pulkas, Veg Biriyani, with Raitha, Paneer Butter Masala and two other unknown stuffs to me. But I liked them to some extent. 

After lunch we are asked to attend one final test so that they can fix the winner with the marks scored in the 3 tests. I haven't done anything for the last 2 days except enjoying the beauty of the campus and its time I need to make a move on. Started following the Blog they provided as a reference for the development of Android applications and soon switched into the procedures and steps and made it easy by performing multiple tasks. Finally I've simulated the application in quick time. Kinda satisfaction at the end. 

And Finally the Inevitable Photo Session: 



 From left to right --> Manoj ( Upcoming Actor), Mr. Suresh Babu (Asst. Professor), Mr. Hari Haran (Cape Institute of Technology), Finally It's me at the corner. ;) 

The Girl visibly seen in the above pic who is at the corner responding to a guy is the one from North. I ended up by exchanging a few words with her. She is so sweet to talk. Girls have the kind of tendency to impress hard core guys.

At the end of the day they issued us the certificates and probably I'm the only one to receive the kit after whole 3 days and I collected my Transcend Pen drive of 8 GB which is a sealed pack where as every one were given unsealed pack. :D 

The album that repeatedly played in my ipod was the two old tracks from Akon. 

1. Angel.

2. Akon's Sexy Chick (Official)

Dhoni Turns Defensive. Where's the Midas Touch?!


Mahendra Singh Dhoni a brand icon to entire cricketing world as the Captain of Indian Cricket who holds the records under his belt with his head down to earth all the time. He is further tagged to be Mr. Cool in Indian Cricket. As he never loses his Temperament in and off the field. Well known for his tactics on the field. He tries to work things different to get results in his favor under difficult circumstances and been successful in his ways for the last 4 years or so.

The Man with the Midas touch slipping down with consistent failures overseas and lacking the kind of aggressive field set he places when they get low score to defend. All happened good for him till 2011 World cup. All of a sudden they lost to England and Australia Test series not with a single win. And there comes the debacle.

Issues with the senior players in the team such a Gambhir and Sehwag particularly. They are a little slow in the field and Dhoni is no where to take that as he believes catches wins matches. But they had no other go when they talk about experience.

He is been on top under critics notes when he led India down quite a couple of times especially in T20's where India looked comfortable on winning against NZ at chennai and end up losing which had a big hand of the skipper. It's just a matter of timing. And you can't predict who's going to win a T20 until the last ball was bowled. That's what T20 is all about.

Considering the current T20 World cup where India managed to give below par performances with the kind of potential the team carries. They got match winners in their side and some good bowlers too who can actually raise up to the occasion and deliver. All has to fall in one plane to get a win.

For now they lost badly against Australia and sealed a win against Pakistan to level the equation 1-1. They had to go all guns to snatch a win against mighty South Africans which is now under Gary Kriesten's camp. So it's never that easy to face worlds quickest bowler Dayle Steyn and a game changer like A B de villiers.

Well, he is having a clear route with 7 batsmen and 4 bowlers.And he can get part timers like Yuvi and Kholi in when someone goes for many. So far the part-timers provided breakthroughs for India when in need. So It's not that necessary for him to take a gamble whether to play Harabajan or Ashwin. Just frame out your team with the stock you have. Pick the best side and just go out and outplay the opposition. If want to get sehwag out of the side?! Just forget about it. Because you can't replace sehwag with Irfan as an opener. If Shewag gets going he wins matches single hand. That's his strength and you can't keep him in the box for so long.



It's Virat's Time running. He is making the rescue all the time. He is called as purple patch with the amount of runs he scored in less time. He is a gifted cricketer with loads of talent. Wish I could see a future captain in him.


My Team XI would be Sehwag, Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Dhoni, Ashwin, Pathan, Balaji, Zaheer and one player can be rotated Btw Harabajan and one extra fast bowler depends on the opponent they play.


It's all happening as like 2007 T20 world cup. They lost the 1st super 8 against NZ and won the game against England to stay alive in the hunt. And then they won over SA to enter semis. Same as here they lost their 1st match against Australia and won over Pakistan and yet to play SA to enter semis. Hope they repeat the history.
