Television vs youtube

2009-11-19T13:16:00.000-08:00

I was a lousy browser and a big fan of television. People who know me know how much i stick to the idiot box as it was called sometime back ( i wonder why) ... anyways since I'm out of job now and have to concentrate on more productive things, I took a decision not to watch TV for an indefinite amount of time. Mind you! I stick to my word ... hmm... so I have not been watching any for a long time and have started spending more time in front of the computer. This has triggered another addiction in me that is the internet and Youtube :( ... I now aimlessly search for some totally useless shows and videos on this upgraded idiot box ( lap top) all day long ... this is totally worthless and even more distracting. All along I pitied ppl who sat with the laptop and browsed endlessly. Now I have become one of them !! I should stop this and get back to my TV watching. At least I wont browse and watch all the related videos of the shows.

Apart from this my life is going great! jobless but not aimless. The new twist is that I have decided to ditch env engg (After an extensive series of job search and disappointments) and move into statistics (SAS) . So far I like it... but I have not marketed my resume. I have heard some good things about this field and I like numbers too. So pray for me and wish me good luck.Hope things go great with me in my totally new life in all aspects.

Muh Lyfe ....

OK now that I have disappeared for quite some time.. I have realized some people do miss me sometimes. My life which was a painting exhibition( not really that classy) which had frozen frames here and there or say a photo album to be a lil humble (which I am ) is starting to become a motion picture (lol) with things starting to move a bit too fast for me to catch up :D. I am going to blog everyday from now. I want to look back to these days and this blog will be the perfect canvas. (I am using stupid words today !)

How I met a guy : Yeah I met a guy the regular arranged marriage arena.. proposed by parents and blah blah . huh.. as one of the very good indian girls, I could not cross the invisible fence our parents chalk out for us lol... and also being too much in love with myself till date, I did not find any guy in 20+ years!! anyways so long story short I did finally said yes to the guy ! few days back, and since then he is scratching his head over why I said yes ! and for all the non believers.. I thus prove that me also likes guys..! just one guy... my story here is not the rather typical one you get .. its lil different and unusual! which I will write about later .. lol he is the chosen one now so you cant do anything about it !!.. and ppl please don't sympathize with him for putting up with me. More details to follow :D

I lost my job: This is the second chapter, I lost my job and thought of doing usual the tricks to stay in the country ... but figured out its not really worth it ! so I decided to go back to India and spend some time with my parents and the hyd malls ! which I had not done for 5 years now... I am quite excited about that part... though I had initially thought it is damn easy to find a job here which I realized is not true in this economy... I will come back after getting married and hunt and haunt this country one more time ha ha ha ! I am sure I will have a great holiday in India with perfect timing of dussera and diwali omg omg ... how awesome!

So the summary is... I should so busy with packing and taking care of a zillion things here and there, instead I am trying to do anything and everything to avoid starting to do what has to be done... I am busy with nothing totally freaking out every other day .. and now as time is getting scarce.. I am getting scared...
Will keep you posted if you care or don't care

.....yours truly

First Long weekend of 2009

2009-05-20T12:47:00.000-07:00

I cant wait for it ... I don't have anything exciting planned yet ! but I have a weird feeling that this weekend is going to be awesome... I have no idea :) I'll let u know if my sixth sense made any sense lol ... maybe just because its a long weekend after a long time ( cool kada) I'm excited. thinking about the options, I can either go for a long drive or I can go smwhere close by and chill out! depends on the company and mood of the ppl. I hate to make plans...

hmmm.... Anyways whts up with everyone ? other than being cramped up with work and all... My job is kind of limping... no new projects down the line.. so office mei fultu marketing and business development is going on :) so kind of working in the background with my manager... and also looking out if thr is smthing else I could be doing ...!! I'm chill maring here in DC with summer.. I hate the weather transitions... I get a sic feeling whnever it gets hot to cold and vice versa... feel like eeeeeeeeeeeeee . I truly hope it does not go over 80 deg ( :( I know it will be 100 soon) but wish karne mei kya jata hai .... chal tc byeeeeeeeee

Help me choose !!

2009-05-13T12:28:00.000-07:00

Pretty much tired of work today !! actually bored :( .. I dont have any work to do here now so my manager has asked me to do some market research and chk will all the nearby county websites, for projects and opportunities in the near future we can bid on .. lol I'm sure nobody understood this... hmm anyways its a tp work but very important for us now as we are not doing that great at this office with billable work ! whatever happens I will not lose my job ( touch wood!) so I'm more relaxed now. And for the rest of the week both my manager and the director are not going to be out of the office so ekdum chill ... I have a meeting in sometime to decide on how I'm going to kill time rest of this week. !! Some days I just hate this job.
BTW I got my car from the body shop today . Some freak had hit it in the parking lot and did not leave a note so I had to get it fixed. The insurance company said $200 bokka :( but surprsigly they did not take any money from me when I went to pick it up today ... hope I dont get any bill in the mail .It got some new parts from Honda! t so abhi full chamak raha hai. I want to have it for myself and give akka's car to lakshmi.

I need to send a good cell phone to India for my dad... and for the better part of today I have been looking for good ones online .... I like my cell phone though (BTW I have blk berry Perl) but I'm liking Nokia N85 its lil $$ but the reviews are really good! and its looks sweet :D ... I am not to tech savvy so I might have missed some points ... suggestions and comments are welcome :)

Why is Mrinali busy ?

2009-05-11T10:15:00.000-07:00

This weekend was quite hectic... drove like 500 miles and around 5 states :D... The drive started pretty bad with the awful peak time traffic of 495.... It took me 5 hours to reach Delaware ! crazy !!
Anyways... my sister and Sai came to philly! so I had to drive over and meet her. It was Sai's uncle's 60th b'day party .. which reminds me that next month is my dad's 60th B'day !! cool kada ... I will so much miss being with my family ... well I can plan a surprise visit to home!! donno.. ok now coming back to the party, It was quite cool.. it was in some vineyard.. coz they are like ABCD's ... most of them, so they had an Americanised 60th B'day ! no shastipurthi !! khaneka aur peneka.. bas mast jene ka ... food and booze dominates their celebrations mostly. I ate some good desi food and some Italian (yummy) food ... played some cricket !!
Sai's uncle is pretty successful and intelligent !! he is also very funny and entertaining... unlike the regular 60 year old's I get to meet sometimes .. who always crib how wonderful it is back in India some 40 years back ..and how much they hate being here... uncle is pretty chilled out, and maybe having a family and a successful career makes a difference hmm .. donno... well I don't have anything against the senior citizens ( oops) or say the wiser citizens but most of them try not to enjoy their life as much and always live in a nostalgic past.
As usual it was nice meeting my sister and Sai... ( I said this now! donno wht it means) my sister has yet not become that auntyish as I had expected...lol... we always spend like 1 day with her and that too among so many guests !! I guess it will be a nice idea to go on a vacation with them and chill out for a while... current economy mei koi vacation he nehe le raha hai :D
Since I was so close to Jersey!, I decided to meet one of my friends and then and later my favorite cousin over there ... I had also planned to visit bridgewater temple ( my fav temple in USA) but It was too late by the time I bid adios to my cousin and I had a 4 hour drive back to home... reached home at around midnight ! tired and tired and tired
so things I did not do were
Visiting Bridgewater temple and also I did not go to Devon.. :(

Where is the spring ??

2009-04-29T13:11:00.000-07:00

This was the question everyone was asking over the weekend.. as for me I had enuf complaints about this issue but I was soooo happy to be out thr in tht hot sun... like a awara... :D The best part of this weekend was that I had some visitors .. ( just lakshmi , deepthi and sushmita) we went to great falls, ate out, had ice cream, went to a movie, played Wii, made some stupid jokes, cooked food, I guess thats it !
Hold on... I recently discovered last week ... that I have a relative living close to my place.. who is my dad's sister's son's wife's dad's sister ... yeah very close relative... :D !! I had been to Pittsburg temple with deepthi and by chance I ran into this lady who is also a great kuchipudu dancer... he he ... we buddied up too quick because we have the same name ... no no no I am not named after her ! I dont even know who I am named after... hmm I should look into this matter... anyways.. she was sweet to invite me over to her dance school to check out the dance and join in the class. ( Hold all your comments here .. ahem) I sucessfully had my first Kuchipudi class... lol... And I discovered tht I am not bad in dancing ... I am terrible !! phir bhi hum class join karenge... kyuki ( I have no idea kyu) I will pour a bucket of cold water on the sleeping dancer within me.. like a shock treatment !!

So now that I am blogging from work place ... which indicates that I am totally useless for this company... wish they dont realize this anytime sooner :D

signing off for now.....
you know who !

So much for the SPRING !!

2009-04-14T11:38:00.000-07:00

I Loved Spring so much.. For all the wonderful things it brings with it !
After the awful winter... the fresh flowers, leaves, super sales in the malls.. lol .. hmm this spring was something I was looking forward to ! I moved in winter to Virginia.. and Spring is really beautiful here. Surprisingly I am getting allergies when ever I go out :( !! But the weather is awesome and I am falling in love with this place.. its truly beautiful. There is so much to do and I am still discovering great places to visit and hang out.
My work is going on fine.. not driving to baltiomore so often now which is good for anyone I can relate to ;) ... and I am tying not to work too much so that my boss does not get too impressed ! ... serioulsy working in a non IT feild is so much fun!
My trip to Canada to visit my siter was good fun.. I never knew they spoke French in canada !! hmm very amusing... and I did drive back !! 8 hrs my longest drive so far !

Such a boring post!! I'm signing off here

Reston to Baltimore

2009-02-16T08:04:00.000-08:00

I am working from our Baltimore office since last week... its going to be this way for few weeks now.. 4 day weeks.. but 10 hrs each day. First I assumed it would be so much fun to have 3 day weekend.. but working ( yessss!! I am working in the office at last !!) for 10 hrs is quite tiresome :)
Anyways.. my commute starts at 6.45 Am .. to be sure I miss the traffic and reach work by 8 AM ( yeah I do get up early when i have to ... I choose to be lazy otherwise). In order to keep myself entertained while I drive.. music is boring for me sometimes so .. I started my fantasy ride. I was relating the cars to people in them.. So each car was a living being for me... with its own mind.. and I was talking to them ... pretty interesting !! I also gave personalities to the cars... and also had some ego clashes and some love stories on the way... :D

If you ever traveled around DC area you might know the infamous 495 .. its always choked with traffic. Today the traffic was moving pretty fast like around 75-80 mph ( I like it) .. what saddened me today morning was about some of the suv and pickup truck drivers do not signal for a lane change(even while going at 80mph)... its like they don't care about a collision.. obv they dont care... pichi ppl ... bechara my civic is so light and small.. if a truck hits it .. or I hit a truck ... my car would be in chithde .. usko kya jata hai .. waste fellows... But I managed to reach work without any unwanted excitement :D so far so safe.

Happy Pongal

Gas $$

2008-11-12T08:43:00.000-08:00

Yesterday me went to the Baltimore office for a introduction and visit ( Hi hello)... and guess what I saw a gas station with gas $1.99 a gallon...
omg omg .. of course I filled the tank but isnt it ridiculous.. :)
I felt so excited !! esp after seeing it for $4.00 :D
for some older folks it bust have been like old days.. but for me it was a amusement

My working experience

2008-10-16T07:36:00.000-07:00

Virginia is very beautiful. I'm not comparing it to central PA but still it is beautiful! .. I love Reston.
I worked in quite interesting places you would not imagine... hmm atleast not when u think of USA. As everyone knows (I'm assuming) , my first job out of school was in Lancaster, PA (yeah the Amish county) . I used to live in Lancaster at that time. I loved the place. I liked the pople, they were so laid back.. totally like me. Then my office place moved( along with its 8 employees) to Manheim.. its more Amish.. the non commercial Amish ppl.. I had moved in with Deepthi ( My so far best roomie ... :D my dear friend) and we were living in Hallam pa ( never heard of this town right) its a small town one of my manages would joke tht you can drive past the town in one breadth... It was awsome at first .. I loved Manheim... all you could see around there were farms amd cows, and horses and all the things you get to see in a yash chopra's village scene... i think i ccan also say Indians.. but i'm not sure if Amish ppl are also called as Indians ... when we started work thr it was kind of june i gues and all the corn crops were full ripe.. sometimes when I went to feild work ( not kheti ppl) we would drive along wheat farms too .. it was so much fun to see all this.. unfortunately for me, I did not have much exposure to farmland and villages as a child so it was crazy amusing. we saw the crops being reaped, the cheap farmers markets on the fams literally ... Life was awesome... koi tension nehe ... no work and all play... watching movies and TV shows at work ... then winter came and the whole place was like a fairy land... then spring was okay and boring.. the fun was not fun anymore... but I got bored sometimes... One day my manager called me and said .. beta .. yahan tera kuch nehe hoga.. u should go out and see the real corporate world... so start applying for real jobs ( no I was not fired or laid off .. it was an advise frm a buzurg ) by this time I was already applying for jobs and attending some interviews... and thus I landed in my second job in Harrisburg PA ( yeah PA again) hmm its the capitol of PA... but as the case of all other capitols... this place was ehhh .. well a total laid back again! but the good part was I had to be there only for 6 months before I came to work in Fairfax :D ... When I moved to harrisburg, deepthi Joined me .. so it was awsome time again.. we went to gym, shopping, icecream, .. I went to hershey park, my parents and my sisters visited, lakshmi got her first real job, my sister got engaged, ... it was a beutiful place.. I loved Harrisburg !! .. but work was still the same.. nobody gave me anything to do... all I did was fooling around. Next destination was Fairfax va... well the curent one... the place is amazing again.. new room mates and all but they are sweet. Work wise.. its only 6 ppl in the office so its full masti time... work is on and off.. we are waiting for some good projects so ... dekhte hai ... :)

Totally wasool weekend !!

2008-06-23T07:06:00.000-07:00

Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely
pointless

I liked this weekend.. It was so goood staying at home and sleeping .. watching movies.. aahh after so many weekends.. I had my own Mrinali style weekend!! sleep till late after noon .. eat dosa ,watch movie and sleep again lol!! good thing is that I finished doing my long due laundry lol... me and deepthi managed to sneak out for a drive and had ice cream (:D yummy kada) between our laundry cycle.. my mom called like a hundred times in between (aarrghh) to tell me tht my sister's marriage is finalized ... well I should be excited about it too kada.. !! should plan for India trip

I want to read a book

2008-06-05T12:50:00.000-07:00

I have not read a book for a long time now. I don't read regularly but I do read some good books and now that I don't have a television, I am missing reading books... I have NG magazines at home which I have not glanced since 2 months :D.. waste of subscription money kada lol.. hmm i don't want to read articles now.. :( neither news stuff or preaching about how to make money or count chickens.. I need something fun and good to read!
but seriously I need a suggestion for a good book to read from. hmm something I might like!! any suggestions??

2 good months !!

2008-06-03T09:48:00.000-07:00

This week I successfully completed my 2 months at Gannett Fleming! and to acknowledge my achievement, I was presented with a tie pin... yeah tie pin!!! so much was I yearning for one .. wow! was totally delighted lol... I was happy that they kept a reminder about it. I guess tht was the only thing my chief had in his desk so he passed it on to me... now I can wear it everyday on my shirt... or I shall wait till wearing a tie becomes a corporate fashion and wear it proud.
Jokes apart I was quite surprised that time flies so quickly... my previous job place had 10 ppl working. and here they have 800 lol...I had so many inhibitions to walk into the new company.. something like a real job now atlast! my 1st place was like assorted home.. we had so much time to kill and very little work!! Kim used to get baked goodies, Brian had his cat playing around for few weeks ( thn he got fired for not showing up at wrk much lol) Jeremy used to talk about his adventures off road, football, baseball, how to kill mosquitoes and how to surf youtube and goof off at our corner of the office!! and all office gossip .. one happy family lol !! seriously I thiink we could come and work in our pajamas (lil exaggeration here) but khakis were considered "formals" there and here u can wear khakhis as business casuals lol...
But I dont miss that place very much now. I like it here.. less commute to wrk is a major factor. Esp with the soaring gas prices who does not want to live a mile away from work?? and with parents visiting this is so convenient and comfortable. Working env is more organized and there is always something to do and learn. I see more ppl around which I like ( none desi so far :( ) ... I dont care if I talk to everyone.. but I like to see many faces around the place ( weird na). So till I move to Virginia ( which is in oct) let me feel home ( huh I mean work) at this place!!

Happy Birthday Mrinali !!!

2008-03-07T06:43:00.001-08:00

Happy Birthday Mrins...

25th Birthday !! OMG

Being 25 is so different :D lol jeez but i don't feel any different. In fact it is more refreshing to know that I am getting older, wiser and smarter!!! ;) . Being tween is "in" now ... teen are looked down upon by tweens kada ... teen are so noisy and irritating ( do I sound matured now??).

I always figured I would be doing something else whn i grow up.. and 25 was my target of growing up!! so according to my analogy I'm grown up now.. kya kare kuch khas diference nehe hai... I am still in the same job of changing jobs.. BTW i'm changing my job.. like I'm moving to Virginia!! to a different company. Hope this one employs me for their profit lol... and I don't just spend my time counting paychecks.

Me goes to knit !!

2008-02-28T10:01:00.000-08:00

Hey.. here whats new with me?? hmm.. chk this out
I am knitting and crocheting (not at work) but sometimes at work. Our Office Administrative assistant is a sweet old lady who knits all the time and all around the year is teaching me how to knit and crochet because she wants to teach me i see no reason why she was shunting me to get some yarn and learn to knit :( ... Now for people who think its only for old and silly people.. let me tell you its so much fun to do !! especially whn u discover you can really do it and enjoy doing it lol and all its like any other art, and a very good timepass. After being appreciated for my first scarf ( pink one which I gave to Lakshmi and do not have any clue about what she did with it uh ho) I started to knit my second scarf ( which i send to Akka hope she likes it) .. having mastered the art of knitting with 2 scarfs under my belt I am trying crochet now... the project is under construction and consideration ;) ...Well.. I have contributed to the world with 2 and a half scarfs so far lol... they are very pretty just like me ;) newayz I should find time and yarn to finish the half scarf I started...yeah i got it got it now you are thinking about sweaters and all those things auty and mummy makes lol ... huh its not meri cup of tea .. though i want to give a try.. but thn .. cant stay committed to a thing for so long as to finish it so.. dekhte hai... baboi.. now long term plans mei I can include a scarf store ... whr u'll find me and my creations lol !! as for now no personal requests accepted for knitting.

Makara Sankranti

2008-01-14T05:18:00.001-08:00

The day on which the sun begins it journey northwards is referred to as Makara Sankranti. Sankramana means "to commence movement" and hence the name Makara Sankranti given to one of the largest, most auspicious, but varied festival in the Indian continent. In south India and especially the Tamil family, this festival is called Pongal. Pongal is symbolic of sharing the returns of the bounteous crops and business profits with the workforce and villagers. This festival for some is to give thanks to God. It is to show appreciation to those who assisted in the crops for their loyalty, commitment and selfless love. For many, this day also ushers in the New Year

Well I am at work now! no sankranti or Pongal for poor folks in US :( . My mom is Tamil and my dad is Telugu so we celebrate both Sankranti and Pongal!! I miss home so much on festivals. When I was a kid, festivals were always about good food, meeting relatives and lots of puja and aaraginpu . We had all my cousins bundle up at my home or my Mama's home and fool around as my mom and my pedamma cooked food!! Then in the evening we went to pedanana's home and ate the good "til gud" goodie made by my other pedamma... and visit few more if we had a mood else leave the external affairs to parents!! All I do now is google about the festival and try to learn what it is about lol...
I never thought even in the wildest of my dreams that I will miss the yummy pongal my mom used to make!! Lately to the surprise of my mom I like pongal ( I mean the delicacy) uggh i remember how many tantrums i used to put on to eat the very tasty pongal my mom used to make ... I dont like pepper in it I dont like cashews, yuk thrz coconut in this, lol . Now just bring it on with all the goodies Pongal has to be made with and I will gobble gobble. Being away from home filled some sense in me to appreciate efforts put on by mom. This time I am in India I'll make some pongal for my mom and dad ... lol say I'm the best beti ;)

Happy New Year

2008-01-02T04:03:00.001-08:00

Happy New Year 2008

Exercise daily

2007-09-17T10:51:00.000-07:00

I am getting BIG TIME bored at work! I have so little to do, no new projects coming up and all the current work needs more info or my PM's review to work on... apparently he does not have time to work with me :( so me getting all bored and frustated! All I get to listen to is long lectures about how much work we are anticipating to get sooner than later and how busy its going to make me once it gets started bah!
Solution ?
Well... not a great one but but I am watching all this movies and TV shows and all at work time ... you wont believe what all movies I am watching ( don't imagine stuff here) all stupid Telugu movies... well no offense here but really some movies stink big time! well some were pretty good too! but most of them have unnecessary violence and show off! So i am watching this talk shows and stuff lately ;) it has lot of nonsense and gossip (ooo... I love gossips!) I am talking about Koffee with karan lol! I know its not good for building my work character whew but good for killing time!! what else do i do to keep myself entertained? I can talk with Jeremy ( our CAD guy) he is the one one vocally accessible for me ;) he sits in cube next to mine... he has some weird stories to tell but he has work to do in the office lol ! and I don't want to be wasting some of his productive time which brings in revenue for the office and compensates for the idling of people like me.
I really dont get the point of staying in this company ... I don't want to get all so lazy and spoilt!! so I am looking for work again.. yeah I am back to job search BIG TIME !! resume Update karne ka aur apply karne ka bas... all places... poor me! now that I have got my E.I.T ;) (lol its a certification we have to get to cont as engineer 'Engineer in training' will tell u about it later for sure... ) it should be easy I guess ! or not.. ??

Florida Rocks!!

2007-09-06T05:56:00.000-07:00

Florida is so beautiful!! (just to visit of course...)Me akka and lakshmi were together after about 3 months... it was so hot and humid and you get showers every so often and it stops as surprisingly as it started.
It seemed like a film ka setting! for someone from north east! I went there for 3 days only so could not see much. I will go back again for a visit and its pakka.
Day 1 was in Sea World and needless to say it was awesome fun. the best one I liked was the killer whale shamu's show.. they were so huge and beautiful the only bad thing was it was over hyped in selling some stupid whale ka tail necklace lol! The other shows were decent too! it was amazing to see so many species. It was crazy packed since it was a long weekend. There were some cool rides one was scary though. At the end of the day I was too tired went to some Indian/Thai restaurant and ate some stupid fried rice and dozed off.
Day 2 was in Universal studios and Island of Adventures. This was my best day! First went to Universal studios. It was so cute and so much to do! The shows were awesome. Esp the Shrek wala it was a 4-D show lol! they shake your seats and give you the feel that you are a part of the movie! the yuk part was when the donkey sneezes they spray water on your face!! it was too good! there were so many characters and shows and settings. It was a great Experience. For dinner we went toa pakistani restaurant and I tell you it was so yummy. The food was very good. phir kya day done deal and so gaye.
Day 3 was Disney Epcot. I wanted to see all 4 of Disney parks but time nehe tha na so had to choose only one and Lakshmi said Epcot and so be it. Epcot was more like for grown ups can say. It had all this different world themes and then all this different country themes it was great! it was like visiting the world lol! yeah i exaggerated here a bit but its a cool place... We ate in a French restaurant! Shopped for some disney stuff and started for ghar wahi.. Tallahassee And next day evening start kia and came home by about 12 at night.

Are you looking for a note here ??

2007-08-29T10:31:00.000-07:00

Thank god Its Monday!!

2007-07-30T11:40:00.000-07:00

Monday Blues... hope turns out to be an end to my misery.. lol!!
well after a eventful weekend i am not expecting any more adventures or say mis adventures sooner or later. For all those ignorant ppl in the world "Mrinali had her first car CRASH!!!" well nothing to boast about here but to explain ...it was a shock .. and scary too, anything but fun to see your new car in a scene like that...
Sometimes I wish my life was normal.. but Miss.Unexpected always shows up. :D Abhi zara detail mei..
Jyothi came to visit me in Devon and we planned to go to Hershey Park .All excited I, Jyothi Lakshmi Roopa and Gayatri started ..well a lil late than we had planned to... for few miles all smiles and happies then trouble started.. I missed a left turn and very intelligently thought I would take a illegal U turn as it was a country road (Palmyra road in Lebanon county) ha pulled to a stone road and checked nobody was comming and zapak went for the infamous U turn and zapak a truck ran into the left end of my small civic and sliced the front part!! and it crashed into the fields ( I mean corn fields here.. it was a village u know) (this was at 11.15 am) Well for a moment I thought I missed being hit but once I got out of my car I realized how silly I was. Then nobody got hurt so cool. We called 911, fire department, Insurance and all that jazz ... nobody was angry, everything went smooth.. both my car and his car was towed. the cop took statements from everybody. The lady who owned the house near the accident invited us over and offered some drinks. I cried for about 3 hrs!! .. well story abhi khatam nehe hua re..
so now we called up Jyothi's fren from Harrisburg. had lunch and went To Hershey's Park. :D yeah after that unfortunate event. Its a amazing park, really nice I would go back ! .. went on some scary rides and had a hell lot of fun!! went to chocolate world too!! what a day to end hmm. sometime at 12.45 pm we came home.. Well Villanova ( My univ) had spun thier own story that we were run over by a truck and all the air bags exploded and @#$%&@#$*% lol!!... it was not bad for us but sure very bad for the car...
Now comes Sunday.. Sunday became jealous that everyone was talking about saturday so kya hua... well.. first it started raining heavy...I went to rent a car from Budjet and it was'nt easy to find a car rental open on sunday! and got this yukk PT.Cruiser which was smelly and shaky and dirty with all kinds of spills.. okay it was my bad so something is better than nothing :( .. gahr aake went to chilli's with Jyothi for Lunch (had the big hot chocolate fudge cake with vanilla ice cream.. hmm it s yummy!!) came home and asked Challa to drop jyothi back home.. ( Jersey Shuttle )
then packed all my stuff .. Oh! I was supposed to move in with Deepthi kalyanam on sunday night na .. chlao sabhi ko bye bola 7 pm .. I was backing up the car when gayatri stopped me ha "Flat tyre" same spot front driver side!! what did I do?? parked it back, I slammed the car and kicked it ( It hurts when you kick!) cursed it.. lil satisfied now :) called for assistance to change the tyre. one fat guy came at 10 in the night and put a doughnut on it . Monday morning I had to return the car to budget get a different one and unload and load again, came home got ready and got to work at bout 1pm. Half day dumma. Went to deepthis' home ( now our home) and unloaded and unpacked the stuff.. ate dinner and done deal.

I think I was a lil fortunate in this series of incidents. first nobody got hurt, not even a scratch when the truck hit us. Which was such a big thing. Nothing was bad or ugly everything was taken care of as if it was planned very nicely to be the exact way it happened. And I did not realize I had a flat tyre in the middle of a road !! it was near my apt so I could relax and not panic.

" All's well that ends well na "

lately therz a lot of things going on with me ... for a change I am a part of a situation and not a cause.

This is a "diary" post is for last week: hmm when you get a break middle of week life becomes exciting. I am talking about July 4th (holiday) Sachin planned a trip to Philly and I picked him up frm airport.. I think this is the first time I have picked anybody frm airport... well wednesday was fun! went to lunch, played game, shopping kia, timepass kia and went to sleep. thursday office se 12.30 ko Jump and landed in J415 lol.. saw a movie.. actually i dont want to write all this.. but some exciting things about this week are a) Sachin visited b) Nikhil did not visit c)I worked only 2.5 days this week d)The Apt oppostite to ours was on fire really there were 7 fire engines and the block was evacuated e) went to Washington DC and Lakshmi lost my camera sob sob f) Went to Jersey met Jyothi after almost 3 yrs and went to Shilpa's gruhapravesh together g) Had some awful food in restuarents and drank a lil bit h)Had some great time i) something exciting (the last one is a secret!! shhhh.. i'll let u know re)

Oh yeah ofcourse I did watch Harry Potter “ Order of phoenix” u got to watch it re.. its Awesome... I saw it in I.max 3D in KOP … ( 3D was for only 20 mins though) . Now time for the 7^th book.. I’ll sure be busy reading that. Here is something.... while I was driving back from home after collecting my wallet which I had forgotten at home and I was pulled over by a cop.. man I was lil scared but I was also lil excited coz it was the first time u know… gee.. It was like did I take a wrong turn? Did I break a signal? Was I driving fast? I am not going to be arrested right !! Whats now dude… well apparently I had not turned on the Headlights … I gave the typical “Mrinali is nervous” giggle and cop smiled and said “so u r driving a new car huh.. hmm.. pretty new right.. turn on the headlights mam.. now drive safe don’t worry its just the lights were not on” bas untnahech…

Chill in Colorado Springs!

2007-05-30T07:51:00.000-07:00

Colorado springs .. Place to be!!
Its so beautiful.. mountains, valleys... this was the first time I saw mountains.. gee well I was meeting my siter after 6 months almost and she seemed to loose a lot of weight, well maybe I compared her to lakshmi lol..!!
The 3 days trip started on friday dumma frm office.. Akka picked us frm airport after a lot of confusing directions to lakshmi atlast we found her!! ate Sub on the went home, she was wrking frm home so did not do much. Evening ko uska ghar shift kia thoda sa and shopping kia.

Saturday was the adventure time went to ZOO ( have to visit some khas species) it was fun.Didi was driving all the time well should say she did a pretty good job with that I was a scared rat when I had to drive my car for a month almost. Colorado springs is quite a scary place for driving. I saw so many accidents on the way baap re. We teamed up with didi'f fren Ratish and his family for Mountain zoo. then went to Pikes Peak man it was awsome.. it was like a dream. we went on the top of the mountain and lo! it was snowing im May!! cant believe it. It was amazing from the top. too much fun!! from there Seven Falls in the night. Its a series of 7 falls of a same stream. Well it was million times better than Ruby falls lol. I think i'll post some pics later in this post. we came home late and dinner was light. lakshmi wanted to go shopping and was nagging about it all the day huh and she says she is grown up bah!

Sunday was even better ( no we did not go to shopping today too!! poor lakshmi) we went to rafting on Arkansas river in the morning. it took till late afternoon .Then went on Royal George rail a 24-mile journey through the 1,000 foot deep Royal Gorge, alongside the raging Arkansas River it is a very beautiful route. Next stop was Royal George Bridge and park we walked across the Royal George bridge for some more adventure for sky coaster. I was scared to death to try it and gave a hard time to ppl there but after 2 swings 1,200 feet above the Arkansas River, it was damn thrilling, went on a ariel tram Gliding more than 1,100 feet above the canyon floor is the world's longest single-span Aerial Tram, then on the world's steepest Incline Railway (45 degree slope) is still considered one of the most difficult structures ever built . Was so tired and amazed end of the day!

Monday was a slow day got up late did some timepass at home. Moved some of didi's stuff to her new home. and went to Pirates -3 and came home with "I love Jonny Depp" mania lol .. Went to shopping ( wallmart okay!! some gen stuff for didi's home not shopping shopping) had to pack and get back to Philly... cont...

My first car..!!!

I dont understand why things go exactly in the opposite way to what I anticipate.. changing my plans all the time lol!!.. one thing is I really wanted to move in with Deepthi into a new apt which I cannot now sob sob its too far from my office re and does not make any sense .. but the good thing is I'm going back to Devon.. and stay with my kiddo sis (Lakshmi ) .. Just heard our office is going to move to a different location.. aaaaghhh..(so now again I do not know which part of the planet I'll end up working). I hate all this stuff I have no control on... BTW I am buying a car too sooner than later now.. not the new Honda Civic I had planned for sob sob.. no dabbulu.. I am going for a used car.... used by donno who it will be.. hope its a celebrity.. coz it will be used by a future celebrity (thatz me ofcourse re...) then I can sell it for millions of dollars when I get famous..

osaaayyyy musti dana phone chesthe ethaventeee ( this is a style of saying hello!!! dont panic) ok ok after my apologies she continues.. feeling so college sick yaar.. I miss our undergrad... uh uh all of a sudden so nostalgic..?? kya hua.. apparently she was orkutting and reading deepz blog and pic in my album about UG(Undergrad) hmm.. cool 1 year back i would have sang to her music but now! I was desperately trying to be the old mrins apparently to be the person she was calling to.... it took me some time to tune in.. I was wondering wht had happened to me.. whrz all the enthu I had.. oh okay.. so now I share some dry gossips with her and started talking about our insane days and wondered how happy I was back then... we did so many stupid things which went unnoticed some times and not so lucky other times.. all tht giggling in the class.. making my conclusions about every logic and trying to support it although it was pointless... College bunk karke movies going.. writing notes with invisible ink... Exams panics..!! Swetha giving lecture about how stupid I and Deepika behave... sowmya's famous line sampesthanee... Jyothi and her never ending worries... and so many more...The presentations,.. travelling... the trips ( Anathpur trip esp),.. saisree laughing at all the silly jokes.. neelima and her internet chatting.... Chilkur temple ... Damn and the IICT project gala.... yummy panipuri @ 5 .... yeah and the farewell party fantasy talk... so many many ... list just goes on.... talking with her I realized such a bore I am now... I stopped calling my frens on weekends and have those long chats with 5 -6 ppl on the conf call... I was wondering was it because of the wrk.. ahaan.. not really I am not busy with my work... then what .. I realized something (shhhh..) hmmm ... maybe coz everybody else has become busy with their lives too.. or did I just Grow up (no way na I know tht!!) ... Talking to Preethi made lot of sense to me.. then she got a call frm her fiancee and she said she'll call me right back.. which has been 2 days as of now.. preethi baby its my turn to yell now... wht say??

Happy Birthday Mrinali..!!

The Ant and the Grasshopper.. ;)

2007-02-07T13:33:00.000-08:00

When I started this blog I decided I wont post any general info/ mail forwards kind of stuff.. but I found this really interesting and now since I'm a lil busy with my world this can keep my blog not left alone... lol!!

Give it a thought folks ..

OLD VERSION...

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.

MODERN VERSION
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.

NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house. Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other grasshoppers demanding that grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter. Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticize the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the grasshopper. The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance). Opposition MP's stage a walkout.Left parties call for "Bharat Bandh" in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among ants and grasshoppers.

Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.

Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act [POTAGA]", with effect from the beginning of the winter.

Arjun Singh makes Special Reservation for Grass Hopper in educational Insititutions & in Govt Services.

The ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.

Arundhati Roy calls it "a triumph of justice". Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice'. CPM calls it the 'revolutionary resurgence of the downtrodden' Koffi Annan invites the grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.

Many years later...The ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi billion dollar company in silicon valley.100s of grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India ...
As a result loosing lot of hard working ants and feeding the grasshoppers India is still a developing country......

Hritik rocks... he is the BEST..!!!

2006-11-24T09:21:00.000-08:00

Mrinalini went to 3 movies for the thanks giving, Deja Vu, Dhoom-2 and Happyfeet!!

Deja vu sucks big time!! its a time waste movie and a fully faltu movie... no plot nothing.. Denzel Washington was an also heroin is waste I think the director wanted to make some kind of MI type intelligent movie i guess but it flunked big time on the whole the bottom line is its a bakwaas and a never endin story

Dhoom gain mei... Arey hritik rocks!! he is the best.. he is superb he is so so so so sooooo good he is just unimaginably sexy smart and handsome ....!!! u got to check him out in Dhoom-2 .. arey he is the hero of a millenium..!! koi bhi hollywood star se kam nehe hai, in fact all hollywood stars are waste before him..!! the msuic in the movie is good and hritik ka dance is simply the best !! on the whole Dhoom 2 is fulltu a Hritik moviee.. I dont want to listen to what the critics say and the sense the storyline makes to the audience 10$ was worth for the movie ... I was expectiong John ab's plastic surgery and allthat stupid rumor that was spread which was all pheks.. thrz no John Ab in the movie... and i dont think anybody cared or missed him..!! the Dhoom-3 should be something like 'After the Sunset' as far as i beleive.. just a guess!!

I saw happy feet on saturday in IMAX its a very cute movie... Mumble is so cool.. all the music and the foot tapping dance of Mumble was so cutee... all mexican accent gang and all the masti they make.... it was all hillarious!!

Arey sainikudu ko 40$ ticket coz u can meet mahesh babu in the theater in NJ thats 1700/- baap re... well then how sane it is I donno!! but moi going to sainikudu too this weekend not the meet Mahesh Babu show but just watch the movie show lol!! I love the songs in the movie they are really cool.. hope the movie is atleast okay..!! I get to see all the star flops of Telugu movies.. hope this one does not fall into that group he he...!!

Still for all the sweet ppl out thr who visit my blog here goes my blah blah.... Hey we moved to a new apartment this weekend .. just a few blocks away!! but still moving is big pain!! esp when u have stayed for 2 years and have to move all the junk you collected over the yrs...ha ha.. seriously when u trash all the useless treasures which u preserved for so long it makes you feel weird-sad !! u know that u wud never use them in this lifetime atleast lol!! but then there is a hope that it mite be of some utility on some planet sometime!! the next part is all the manual labor involved with the whole episode which is just exhausting..!! thanks to Phani and his roomies nehe toh it was unimaginable... anything for pretty girls na ;)
The feel of new home should make u so welcome and warm but I feel weird-insecured in this house.. I am missing somethings shayad.. the old apt was my first home in US!! we all moved together when we came here to do masters and started a whole new life..shared so much fun with each other.... the apt I am moving into is with the new girls who came in this fall.. its like a start all over again..!!..donno but generally its little difficult for me to accept a change.!! I feel I am more like Haw in 'Who Moved My Cheese' but now I learned to Chisel on the walls"If You Do Not Change, You Can Become Extinct!!" ... then Atlest I am not Hem!! ( we have tht species in our house too who is still hanging to the apt till the last day of the lease making it impossible to tidy the apt to handover !!) . I do not agree that we should be constantly moving the cheese but yeah we do have to move with the cheese.

Guess what at last I got my new phone its a Sony Erricson W800i and I just loovvvveeeeeeee it. Its so super-duper cool. Change in technology is always welcome for better things lol !!! it has so many cool features and the 2 mp camera is like so awesome.. the walkman and all ... seriously it is mast mei mast re ..!!! fultu gizmo. And thanks to cingular I got it for free after 50$ rebate!! cool kada. And its so much better than my old sony erricson T637

Sachin and Nikhil came for the pickup... Nikhil house is so cool !! mast ekdum.. he did a pretty good job on the home... At last i felt i was at home... so sweet of Nikhil. then movies masti timepass gappe.. blah blah .. evening ko I went to meet my dear Saisree.. she is still the same fultu confused. It was so thrilling to see her after 2 years. Same gappe shappe thr too.. Then we next day we went to the Nashville temple, and night ko reached chattanooga. saw some places thr.. Rubyfall and Rock City.. then back to memphis.. one day full spent with frens , evening ko mississippi river ke paas gaye, Memphis downtown and all.. next day it was time to pack bags and get back to my DEVON!! .. everybody was so calm on the way to the airport sabhi ke minds mei kuch na kuch chal raha tha ... said goodbye ( wished the holiday was little longer) .

I am Busyyyyyy

wid Exaaaamzzz

Is it Betty or Ron

2006-07-20T10:58:00.000-07:00

For ppl who love Archies comics , grew up reading "Archie" comics, and have a residual affection for those comics and also outgrew them

I was reading all the old achieves recently and they are all so cool ... I was trying to pick my fav character tried had but cant pick my fav from Betty or Ron, best friends and rivals for the heart of Archie Andrews!! whenever I read try to decide who wud I rather pick?? hmm...

Veronica "Ronnie/Ron" Lodge, the rich, sometimes nice and sometimes snobbish girl, a beautiful stylish and not to mention one of the richest girl in Riverdale. or the Elizabeth "Betty" Cooper, the girl-next-door, very sweet, archies best fren and great neighbor. .. well when Archie could not decide in 60 years how will I ?? huh I know that Archie is never, ever going to choose between Betty and Veronica

Poor Archie always sandwitched between them..always undecided girl he is suppose to choose has to be in "Betty and Veronica syndrome" .. well poor or lucky??!! never mind

And then I decided to pick my fav character between Achiekins, the typical teenage boy with a great interest in dating, Reggie the conceited practical joker, and Forsythe Pendleton "Jughead" Jones III, - Archie's best friend who is sarcastic, obsessed with food, lazy, ..... and it is yeah!!

Its Jughead all the way!! he is the winner.. so bindaas and funny and a great fren!!...only worrying about food and nothing else.. ha ha... Sometimes helping Archie out from a tricky (dating) situations..!!!. "I wish Reggie would Kill Archie and take over this comic book" juzz kidding!!

" Ron: What do u mean wome are like elephants??
Jughead : They are fun to look at but I would hate to own one. "

One more

JUGHEAD: I try to find the answer to the universal
question.
BETTY: "What is the true meaning of life?"
JUGHEAD: People really ask that? The universal question I had in
mind was, "What's for dinner?"

always wished why cant our school be in Riverdale !!.. it is so happening place..!!! I wud love to get back to school in riverdale and hang out with my gang at pop's.. I wonder why none of the Indian TV soaps is inpired by this cool comics...
well who is your fav pick ??

is it "stupid stupid" or "cool stupid" ?? huh

2006-07-18T12:36:00.000-07:00

" is it "stupid stupid" or "cool stupid" ?? huh

Well this is one of the generation X quote..!! the other day i was watching a commercial and this line caught my attention... so how do u differentiate between stupid stupid and cool stupid.. well,, stupid stupid is really stupid.. but cool stupid is cool for the genX and stupid for genY( generation of yester yrs) ... and stupid stupid is the other way round... lol!! .... so its basically cool to be stupid (cool stupid) if u can call it thr way and not stupid to be cool ( this is so stupid) !! ha ha ... and this means all tht hunk and punk is cool... rather than being very ittitating na.. well i like the CS stuff ..!!! so watch out when u comment on a teenager who is dressed to irritate you..!! coz its cool to be stupid in this age..

well.. u mite have heard about HS LS the high society and low society trash hyped much few yrs back so we can add CS (or CSS) to the list as cool society..ha ha..( not cool stupid society!!)

in the end this is a CS article of my Blog!!

2006-02-02T09:49:00.000-08:00

I have dropped my idea of doing a off campus job... okay happy everyone.. huh..
I never told i needed one for money. But it was just to pass time ( i have lots of it now that i am getting up quite early thats like 7.30 in the morning). I have only 2 courses this sem and my oncampus job ends at 2 in the noon and then i am free the whole day . Then i passed this word to every Tom Dick And Harry( aira gaira nattu thaira) that i am planning to work off campus( shhh.. i know its illegal).... and trust me no one could believe i can work in that store .And due to the overhelming discouragement of my dearest junta i have dropped the idea. Now when i say that i am not doing it any more the reactions are obviously irritating .. han pata tha.. i knew u wud not do that, now u wanted to try so i did not stop u but i know it from the beginning.. etc etc...Now i have to look into something else which can keep me occupied and also intresting ( which is really tough) . Suggestions are still welcome from everybody . Yeah i already got many of them, some intresting, some weird, some fun. I can do the research properly in my lab and publish some paper ( baap re this falls into weird category). learning some sowtwares ( got them from all geek guys). Reading stuff which will help me in my feild ( this was sensible kya??).Write some book or create a website and publish articles there( hmm... this is fun). Watch a movie everyday (wow cool han). Cleaning the room( of course from roomies).

Cell phones...*&%^$@#

I went with my roomies and few friends.. .. lite... some missed the fun not me.... i had lots lots of fun..:) me deepthi lavanya phani didi sudhakar and some juniors . The movie is basically about friendship, patriotism and politics. It seemed to be something about our former Defence minister..... woh toh sanak gaya hoga movie dekh ke... inBJP ruling the movie wud have got lots of apposition...lol!!..so it was like a mix of Dil Chahta Hai and Mangal pandey and few other..lol!!.. and in the last all the heros of the movie die and all the ladies get to live..:) i think one or two of them should have died too... so that women equal men and they get the glory .. just kidding....( i am not a feminist) . Amir was looking old and moreover he has lost that charm and the cute expressions he gives are not that effective anymore with those wrinkles to cover maybe.. Madhavan was all dashing and charming dude.

Hey.... i did not write about how my India trip was rite.... well it was fun all the way..!! of course it was just Hyderabad trip not really India trip..lol!! it will be... Well the first week was really booring .Maybe because i was too excited about it. I called up all my frens and cousins who were all busy. Deepika was attending interviews, Vidya was busy with her M.Tech some were busy with jobs.... jyothi was busy with her gods.. ect ect... and basically most of them are in US so... cant complain.

driving.. naah....

2006-01-23T10:57:00.000-08:00

I hate long drives... i hate it... yesterday i went to newark from philly to pick up a fren Shekar and also went to Bridgewater temple... And it was hell while comming back ... i can still feel it in my head... I was feeling so awful yesterday..!! i was irritating sachin all the way... actually pura frustation dikha rahi thi... whew... I'm planning to go for a driving test (written ofcourse) this weekend and if possible i'll take my license soon.... but i am not going on a drive ever ever again ...:)

Whatever...i am confused..

2006-01-20T08:57:00.000-08:00

What do u do when you start hating somebody?? like a fren who was very near to you for a while??? i mean i am a lot confused with kind of relationships i make with people.. everyone is just so special for me in their own sense..... hmm...and i just cant accept the fact that relationships esp with friends can change with time. They become better or worse. I have seen many getting better all the time but what hurts is when things dont go good with some anymore. Should I start avoiding them for a while so that it gives time for it to settle down... or should i just give them what i am getting from them so that they realise that it hurts. well i am totally confused. but then i think need not worry as i have too many frens in my list who care for me and are always ready when i need them and want to talk to... but then that does'nt make any sense at all... coz everyone is as important as anyone... hmm.. But then the problem is why when i did not do anything so rude that i deserve such a treatment based on assumptions made by them. well... So i suppose i'll let things lie as they are going and just get along.... and just chill..!!!

mom I'm home..:)

2005-12-13T06:33:00.000-08:00

Hey… !! me in India..cool kada…. In cool cool Hyderabad… I came just yesterday and till now I did not put a step outside my home. I am damn tired yaar. Feeling lot better now ofcourse. Yesterday I was attending all phone calls and samewas today morning. Then ate some dosas..yummy . and then had a sleep for 2 hours. Got up got dressed and now I need to have my lunch, in meanwhile I thought I would post something here… Hmm.. Coming to the journey, I started on 10th at 3.30pm from philly and from there to Connecticut and then to Frankfort and then to Columbo and from there to Hyderabad…whew.. too many connecting flights na.. thanks to my sister… lol.!! Well the flight to Connecticut was fine…. I read some Harry potter during the flight.... in the airport I was starving so we ate some pizza and pasta from sbaro. I did some duty free shopping for Santosh in the airport. From there the flight to Frankfort was very boring.! It was I think 8 hours of flying.. i saw “Charlie and the Chocolate factory” in the flight it was a cute movie.. then tried to sleep a lil’ bit but… t’was not possible.. hmm… we made some frens (co passenger) going to India too!! in the flight Ashwin and Nutan.. so now we were a group of four. In Frankfort, we had to wait for 4 hours.. I was very tired but myself and Nutan went around the airport and doing bakwas timepass…, Ashwin went around too and my sister was too tired to walk so she was in charge of the luggage… In Frankfort we met quite a few students going to India.. and lo! We met a group of my sister’s frens in the airport… and wahan se masti started… now we were a group of 10 ppl .. the flight to Srilanka was nice... me, Anil and didi shared seat with one srilankan, who was such a big nut.. seriously… he was a great comedy.. I think he was a lil’ mental too... he was doing all crazy things and irritating us.. he was bugging the airhostess and all passengers around.. Anil was sitting beside him so I was having all fun and laughing like hell while Anil had some really tough time… he was drunk soon and was off to sleep… then we dozed to sleep too.. had some small naps and saw chandramukhi…(lakalakalakalkalka) and saw some srilankan variety channel..( baap re lavanya got to see the dances in srilankan movies..lol!!) and then parineetha… hmm thats it… this was a long journey too, about 9 hours I think and the flight was delayed by an hour due to bad weather..! and at last we reached srilanka, here we had to wait for 12 hours, so we were taken to a hotel “Dolphin” which was near the sea. We exchanged dollars for srilanka currency at the airport.. 1 dollar was worth 100 rupees so I took 500 rupees and some of them exchanges 15-20$. Everything was so expensive for us in there.. for 500ml of bottled water I had to pay 50rupees..(the marked price.. I noticed later on the bottle was 20 rupees) anyways..lite na.. then refresh hoke we had some breakfast… and went to the sea… the main factor was that we should not doze off to overcome jetlag…. We did lot of masti in the sea.. took some pictures collected some shells.. and by lunch time, we came back to room dressed up again and did some timepass masti-chat for some time.... it was already getting too humid there…. We had our lunch.. the food was great in the restuarent esp the desserts were awesome.. Hey I got a feeling that we were eating a lot during the journey… esp starting from Frankfort, in the srilankan airways, food was being served for ever 2-3 hours I suppose and we were eating all the time....lol!! the airport shuttle came to pick us up at around 3.30pm … I sat in the navigator seat… and started asking too many questions to the driver… annoying him. Giving him directions to the airport and asking him to follow the driving rules… he was driving so rash… it was too scary… in the airport we had to take boarding passes.. .. there were so many Indian students there .. baap re.. all going to Hyderabad.. the flight to Chennai had already left and the flight to Bombay was at 12 in the night,.. so all present at the airport was Hyderabadi junta… there was a lot of confusion at the airport, there were some unidentified suitcases over there and we had to check if it belonged to us and check in back.. thankfully.. our luggage was not in that lot. The airport staff was very rude ans were getting so irritated all the time. All of them were so tired in thr.. all the chit chatting and masti was stopped. We boarded the flight to Hyderabad and dozed off to sleep. I woke up while the flight was landing and as the wheels touched the ground I shouted with excitement… then as the plane came to a halt, everybody started to clap and shout and whistle... it took a lot of time at immigration and baggage collection,… one of my sister’s suitcase was missing so we had to finish the paper work for it and it took almost an hour for her there mwnawhile I was chatting with all the security officers in thr.. and at last after 2 hours after landing we were out of the airport … there was no customs check or anything so everything was cool.. fine.. mom and dad came to receive us at the airport.. and came home at around 11pm. Made some calls, and chatted and slept at around 2 in nignt…

2005-12-02T13:45:00.000-08:00

What did you shop for thanksgiving??? the whole America was in a shopping mania!!.... this was a question evryone asked each other and my answer was nothing.. seriously i did not go to K.mart too (K.Mart is just 2 mins walk from my home) i did not buy anything... i am going to India on 10th dec but i did not buy anything..!! hmm.. some of my frens shopped for 1000$ atleast ... so what did i do?? hmm.. good question and the answer is nothing again.. actually Lavanya was down with viral fever so i was at home with her... hmm even then i did not have any plans to shop in the midnight esp in that bitter cold. I went to shoppinglast year and it was a waste of time and energy .. and not really worth to sacrifice the most precious sleep... so stayed home.. and did some timepass... Nikhil had come down from Memphis and we had a lot of fun together usko full pakaya... did not go out much than a desi restuarent and one day trip to Bryn Mawr hospital and a one day trip to Jersey. We had so many visitors at home as Lopa and Lavanya were not well everyone was at our home.... time just flew away... had lots of fun... BTW lavanya is fine now..... and then thanksgiving chale gaya.. hmm.. Sudhakar left, sachin left and Nikhil bhi chale gaya sabhi chalegaye.. every one left like whoosh.. and i am back to school... i have my project due for wednesday... and hammering my head over the stuff... at present I am excited about my India trip which is just few days away... yeh jo desh hai mera.. swadesh hai mera... mujhko pukaraa....

Goblet of fire..!!

2005-11-23T11:41:00.000-08:00

hey .... i saw "Harrypotter and the Goblet of Fire" this weekend... it was so awsome... once again proved that its as easy as it is difficult to please Harry Potter fans... confused kya??... just because Jitna bhi dikhao u have'nt seen enough of harry... for those who have read the book, know that it was a wonderful book with loads of adventure... if they had shown whole lot,... TV serial banana padtha tha rather than a movie... hmm... but what was covered in 3 hours was great. Though i was dissapointed coz they omitted a lot ....I was so excited that i did not want to blink and miss the fun...

Million things running in my mind....

2005-11-10T14:03:00.000-08:00

2005-08-22T10:47:00.000-07:00

hmm... today i am registering for my courses in Environmental engineering. For all those who do not know, i took atransfer from chemical engineering to environmental engineering this semester.. Well this was not a smooth tranfer and caused a lot of confusion and anger in my department because they could not see the reason why i was leaving chmical.. or to put it straight they think i have some hidden agenda which i am not disclosing.. . Everything was going on wrong everywhere but then things just fall into place at the right time for me always so i did not take any tension as such. Why MS??? this was a question i always had in my mind now why environmental and not chemical... why am i wasting my time??? why am i transfering even though i loose 6 credits..huh well these are the questions i have been asking myself and trying to give a good explanation to everyone... about my random decision. but to tell seriously i do not know myself !! sometimes in life we need to take decision which we feel good about just going by instincts. Nobody believes in the fact that i dont think about anything anytime and i just do it. This was the first major decision reagarding me which i made myself . I always did what i was told to. To start with i never wanted to be an engineer i wanted to go to arts!! but i was joined in a MPC batch in a very stupid inter college where i was never allowed to do what i wanted.They always dictated how i shoud be studying and what i should be doing... seriously i stopped caring for waht i was studying because i was not learning anything there . i was just supposed to be doing mechanically what i was told to which was not my cup of tea. then i wanted to do architecture and i applied for that and lo! i got it in JNTU which is a good university but then again i was pushed into chemical engineering saying i'll graduate in 4 yrs comparedto 5 years i had to put up in arch... after that i stopped taking my life seriously.. jo bhi hoga dekha jayega .

After walk!!

2005-08-18T06:26:00.000-07:00

hmm... 5 mile walk daily... yeah yeah i used to go daily. But suddenly one day everybody became busy and we stopped going...

Long weekend fun......!!

2005-07-05T13:41:00.000-07:00

I had a lot of fun for this long wekend… for me it started with movie Sarkar..( u got to watch it for Abhishek) it was good. Then on Saturday I went to ocean city and atlantic city with Lavanya Mridula Shilpa Sudhakar and Vijetha we had a lot of fun together the drive was too hillarious with me navigating and Sudhakar driving. We lost the route completely and had to drive for an hour more…;) but the greatest part was nobody cared for if we even reached the destination . at last we made it to the ocean city which was some kind of acheivement.. it was 6.30 pm by the time we reached there. We played the personality game along the drive.. its a really intresting game where we have to exchange our identities ... the best combinatin was where i was lavanya lavanya was vijetha and vijetha was me . The ocean was awsome… we played with the waves for two hours. Lavanya was so scared to enter in the water. Vijetha started to build something with sand which according to her was Taj Mahal… From there went to Atlantic city… the casinos were so huge. We started early from there at around 11pm. The next day in six flags could’nt be better to end such a great weekend. Enjoyed all the rides screaming on this hot day but we missed the Superman ride as there was a long Q … the safari was really good there were so many species of animals out there lions tigers kangaroos bisons monkeys camels mules zebra giraffe bears ostrich ….. many more… all bindaas in their own world… this was the end of our weekend came home( I was not navigating this time good guess..:) . I was a little dissapointed that I could not watch the fireworks…. but everything else made up to it….
