The journey started on 5th Feb - I woke up @ 10.00 a.m in the morning as usual like any other saturday as IT professional does and also didnt have the feeling that I am going to abroad today.
Believe me.
My parents came to my place one week back , to set things up and right for me. probably, because of which, I felt like I am not going to abroad and they made my life easier.
The one week when my parents was there, went like a bullet train , as it was precious times that I spent with my parents.
I always, came @ 9.30 or 10.30 in the night in the last week, and though it was sound sleeping time for my parents,but still, they were awake to give me company, all because of this day in my life.
Yes, Feb 5th, the day where I am kick starting my abroad trips. This is my first abroad trip and I was feeling the excitement after some time.
It was all set , and myself and my father weighed the suit case bag for almost 5 times, so that , I will not end up paying penalty for extra weight in the flight.
Honestly,still I was not that excited to go abroad as my parents , I dont know why..All my exciting nerves are dead? i started questioning myself.. Perhaps, I started observing people in the airport and made up my mind set that it is all new and different and lets enjoy the moment.
Myself and my parents arrived in the Airport @ 2.00 p.m, but the flight was at 6.30 p.m. A TYPICAL MIDDLE CLASS FAMILY. and then I was chatting with my parents as usual , with some murukku , which my mom has brought to Airport , just to time pass in the airport.
Then came the moment, where I have to bid bye to my parents for a month and told good bye to my parents and entered into the airport.
I was given one hour KT from my father , regarding the process to be followed in the International Airport to get into the flight. It was crazy.
So, I went as instructed from my father, First was the Baggage check-in and then after checking my baggage, I was still able to see my parents from the small window and I have waved my last hand to them , letting them know that, I will be back after a month.
and Then after the Baggage checkin , I cleared the Immigration checks and then went to the security check.
Here is the first crazy experience of my life happened. I was about to put my hand buggage in the security check and there was a passenger just beside, who was also about to get the security check done.
After the security check , the security check guards found out 5 atom bombs and some crackers in the passenger bag and got them out of the bag. Once they took them out of the bag, I accidentally, reacted to the same, because of which, I was also doubted and checked top to bottom by removing my shoes , belt etc.., and treated very badly.
I was a bit shit scared after the incident and never even took my eyes on the passenger again.
And afer all the checks , I was about to board the flight, and as usual called all the family members that, I am going to go abroad -( Who invented this culture. We should kill him. who cares a dam, if I go abroad.) perhaps, when you come back, and tell your family members, that you went abroad, you will be scrutinized to hell and there will be big war inside the family for this lack of communication. So , its better to inform everybody and first the family members.
Then I hear the announcement to board the flight - Here came the real excitement, because , this was my first international travel in the flight.. I was bit excited and nervous as well during the take off of hte flight.
I was messaging all my friends and family members that I was excited and I am sitting in the flight.
The flight slowly started to move and got reeady to take off. I was f___ exicted and nervous. And when the flight was about to take off in one minute, I saw a passenger parallel to me, to the left, dancing and doing some crazy moves.
I felt that, he was just joking and making fun. suddenly, he started shouting and his nerve got pulled and he got a fix. Immediately, all the air hostess, came to rescue and informed the pilot to stop the flight and all the excitement first time excitement turned into the thrilling one and the flight came back to the pavillion.
The passenger was then off loaded from the flight and all the other passengers were gossiping to themself that, it was a thrilling experience to them and so to me as well. To think superstitiously. my flight experience turned into the nightmare, as the flight didnt even take off and it came back to the same place again..huh..what an experience of my life..i thought..
The way flight crew handled was amazing. Once the passenger were off loaded from the flight, the flight was ready for take off. During this time, the flight crew expressed their brilliance. There was another round of baggage check done in the flight for security reasons because , we never know, if the passenger who was attacked by fix, has acted to get out of the flight, for some reason. this is called brilliance.
THen all set, flight took off and it was an first eyes take off experince for me. It was awesome. I really felt like going in a ride in the amusement park when the flight took off.
my next destination was Dubai, I will share all the excitement and experience of Dubai in the next blog.

LOST
Mood : LOST
Opportunities dont come easily. If at all they come, we don't utilize it in the right way...And if we utilize it in right way, You might or not might get the
recognition...And If you get the recognition, you are not rewarded for the recognition...
I am lost.
Today, I came to office @ 9. I don't know what I am supposed to do.. Because I had no work , perhaps, same with other people as well...Kept on checking the
mails and waiting for some one to call me for coffee.. Finally , went for coffee and discussed some useless stuffs...Perhaps, pshycologically, when You speak
out (useless or useful), whatever, we will feel good, though it was useless...
Incidentally(Accident in the mind)There came the opportunity of my life. I got a phone call @ around 10 am , and the call was from one of my friend asking to
particpate in a Dance Reality Show. First reaction, I am excited , second reaction, confused about my job, third reaction , i was excited about the
publicity(though selfish but obviously yes, as everybody will have) and lot of misc reactions...ok..Enough of reactions, I thought its time to respond..
Again thoughts starting to flow from so many directions, that Am I getting deviated from my responsibilities(job) or am I not giving importance to my
passion(Dance)??? Yeah,people used to tell that work is worship..perhaps, I felt why don't you take this, as a challenge to manage your job and your passion,
as I am doing now.
Lot of practical difficulties and people are put into some constraints when it comes to job + Passion......Can't help it..That's corporate life..
But, I really don't want to miss the opportunity as it is a big reality show to be a participant...what the F___? What should I do now?????
I was asked to decide on my participation tonight and confirm the same so, that the next formalities steps can be processed....
@2 pm - I made up my mind...Let me decide..Think think!!!! Job + dance?? job + dance?? job!!! + Dance!!!...arrrgg...job,yeah, so many responsibilites
ahead..but , Am i killing my passion????hmmm..or my work life will get disturbed if I participate in the reality shows?? think think!!!!!!!! Tought decision
to be made..
The opportunity - will it knock my door again?? Oops, perhaps, might be yes or no...but, why not take up the opportunity which is coming to your doorstep
now...and manage your job as well...Challenging??? but tough!!
ok.Then I made my mind to think again...yeah, JOB is the first priority.becoz, there are people dependent on me. perhaps, none of them are dependent on me
when it comes to dance it makes only me happy...
Considering so many facts, I called my friend @ 6 pm and told that I am losing a big opportunity of my life..and practically it is not feasible..I am
sorry..I give priority to my work than my passion..(Though not from my heart and my mind made me to tell that sentence....)I am still lost and moving on with
my life, with work as my first priority....
In my next blog, i will try to explain whether the decision is right??
Hope everybody in their life faced the same situation, when it comes to decision making..and I have heard people saying, If I would have taken the IIT offer
letter at the age of 30, I would have been in a good position in my life...
And I faced the same situation when I have to choose the offer letters that I had during my college days, that which company I shoud choose...And I feel I
have made the right choice..
I know some people , who are married used to think that, "should I stay alone with my wife or joint family stuffs?? "Tough and very sensitive decisions to be
made here..."
Ok..enough of confusions..Enough of regrets and no more regrets, move on with life and take life, as it comes!!!
I believe that the final decision is right... some how I feel, I am lost today and also feel that my decision is right!!!(Still I am LOST)!!!

4 point some one!!
Today morning was as usual as ever before, and The thing which was un usual was my fourth sem BITS classes started today... I would not say that I was really
excited, rather I was very curious to find out how will the professors be..
My interest in life is to meet different people in life....So happened to meet 4 different people in life today...Here we go, The first character,
First Professor - Have you seen 3 - Idiots?? - The first thing that might come in our mind, when you say abt the college life in the movie is "VIRUS"
professor..
Looks can be deceptive..I happened to reach the class room @ 8.56 a.m and Mr.VIRUS was well prepared for his lecture and ready to welcome all the students
rather than we welcoming the professor to the class.
He came to teach us "Networking"... I was completely surprised when he started the lecture because he was the exact opposite of the VIRUS lecturer in
3-Idiots..Perfect example of mis-conception(Happens!!). Physically the guy is old, must be around more than 60. mentally, was very youthful.
One of the toughest things that professors used to find it hard, is that, to gain the attention of the students..
I am glad that the anti-VIRUS was able to do so..HATS OFF!! There were lot of students (stupid and sensible)raising questions and he answered atmost all the
questions with good satisfaction to the questionaire...
I had an habit of never asking questions during my class-room hours...Bacause, there are 2 reasons.. First thing, I will understand nothing..Or, Somethings
which I believe irrevelant be would taught to us....Bacause, in the practical life, nothing is bloody used..And everything is learnt fresh from the core in
work..
And ofcourse, every Indian should take the blame on it because of our ever argued INDIAN EDUCATION....(Oops, Lets not get into society conscious)..
Second Character:
Second Professor - Compared to the last semesters, this guy is a pakka nerd, he said Computer is his passion..Oh Alas, f_ _ k his passion..He is really mad,
and most of the computer architects looks insane.., and he also fell into the same category..
But taking comp.science as his passion, OMG, He is going to admitted in a mental hospital and himself feel like going to hell in a few days..How can he say
that!! still can't digest his words... It's equal to saying, Killing is my passion, and I don't mind if I am killed by somebody...Forget it., not a character
to be admired!!
Third Character :
Third Professor - Hard core black guy with hardly 4 strings of hair in his centre head, and lots of hair on his sides with specs, came to teach us Compiler
programs....He was in heights of sincerity because he forgot to introduce himself and directly started with his ppt's... And when he was asked doubts from
the exams structure like giving assignments, He felt like he was asked to show his porn collections, and told us that I will contact the examination head and
let you guys know..
He was so sincere , his body language and intonnations, the way he answered the questions, oofs, I think that guy is a _ _ Y...Oops...No comments..let try to
peep into the next character...
Fourth Character :
Fourth Professor - Fully tuck-in ironed shirt, cotton pant, polished shoes and ten rupee ball point pen on his pocket, came to teach us Operating Systems...
This guy seems to be a professional with his knowledge and body language. He is an engineering college prof, and as soon as he started the lecture, I felt
nostalgic memories of vivekananda coll professors.... The class started and everybody listened to the professor and as the time went,his lecture lead me to
sleep and other students too..Perhaps, he didnt give up, because, these prof are paid 3500 rs. for 2 hours of lecture...
hmmm...thinking to become a professor??? Even I am planning to take it as a side business and one of the best ways to earn money quickly and also with less
effort (depends..)
hhmmmm..too many new characters today..and everybody were unique in their own way but not everybody were impressive except the anti-VIRUS..
I saw today as an experience to see different people in life and it was great, and it had surely taught us something like, how to handle the classes to the
students,How do you carry yourself when you are going to address large number of poeple what is expected from the students and why teach something
irrelevant??, how prof are useful,useless blah, blah, blah....,
I never attended today's class with the mindset of learning something technically because it is not at all going to be useful in the real life...
Who is Next? No please!! Too much for today...tom please!!
excited, rather I was very curious to find out how will the professors be..

Passion - No : 1
Point and flex..
Everybody has some hidden talent in life..I believe that some talent is somehow exhibited by everybody knowing or unknowing in their daily life!!!
If something keeps you happy irrespective of your current mood, wouldn't you try to achieve the same..
Point, flex, Run away, Roll up, New york, LA, one basic, right turn, left turn , suziku, blade hands, fist hands, kupe, passe, develope, aerobus and
loads!!!!!
wondering what is this trying to explain???
These are the words of my passion..They are some of the words which I am learning now, to achieve the happiness out of my passion..
For some, this passion is profession..They are well determined and in the process of achieving it..Practically, some of our passion tend to get into the
sands of time.
It is an immense feeling that you get when you are doing something which makes you happy.. At the end of the day, If we make ourself happy, what more can you
expect in life..
For some, painting is a passion, singing is a passion, racing is a passion and the list goes on!!!
Perhaps, only few people have the guts to change their passion into profession..I know a friend, who has taken this huge step in life, and sacrificed the
other things in life and my friend is in the process of taking the passion as profession and slowly and steadily achieving it..There is saying as, When you
want to gain somthing, You have to lose something...
Has my friend lost anything in life , to achieve the happiness?? Yes, sometimes, it does happen and we end up in losing something to gain something in life..
Let me talk about my passion, can't sleep without hearing the words of my passion..My passion express so many emotions, which cannot be even expressed through words..
Perhaps, If you want to lose weight dance is not the place for it..Go and work out in Gym and please don't make dance a mess!!!
Yes, Dance is my passion!!
Everybody has some hidden talent in life..I believe that some talent is somehow exhibited by everybody knowing or unknowing in their daily life!!!

TIMING!!!!!!!!!!!
Current Mood : Confused!!
For some people, 8.14 am is a very important time in life, but for others it is just a normal time and nothing special or important about it.
Can you guess it why?????
Because, for some, 8.14 am is the time to catch the train or daily bus to reach office and for others it is just like any other day...Like wise, Tom is a BIG
DAY for all the CAT aspirants whereas for others, it is just another cool week end..
What makes us think like that? Have we ever felt the importance of time in our life..every thing that we do daily, have been dominated by time ...Perhaps,
Time iteslf is an artificially created mystery..Then why do we bother about time?? Does timing plays an important part of our life?? Absoultely yes, What if
you get a hike on the day where you end in a breakupwith your girl friend or a big fight with your wife....
If there is a millisecond time lag when dancing for a song makes the song as well as the dance ridiculous to watch..If you dont catch up the 8.14 am train
daily, You feel like you missed something in life, yes what if your boss has come exactly at 9 am today and since you missed the train, you end up in
reaching office @ 10.00 am. You missed a chance to impress your punctuality because the timing went wrong.
Imagine, reading a subject for the whole year in 12th standard, and not getting the good marks at the right time(in the final exams), would yield you no
where..
In the running race, A point millisecond could be huge difference for a winner and it might have turned his life completely different...
What if a person is buying the lottery for the whole life, and he wins the lottery when he is in his death bed...Though he had LUCK , but it does not happen
at right time..
Think of a situation, where you have asked to go out of the company due to recession and you get so much work to prove urself and ur presence felt in the
company during the last day in the company!! Absurd!!
Timing is the perfect match for one of the break throughs in life..Would like to quote an example from my life, It does not matter when we start the work, It
will always end up in a success and also with the happy note if we were able to finish it on time..Otherwise, whole thing is a mess..
Lots of tension, lots of confusion and lots of thoughts...Perhaps, Time is an artificial element created by human beings and today, it makes our life totally
dependent on it..
For parents, growing up their children and teaching good habits in the right time is a big management theory than the bloody SDLC models in the software
industry....Teaching "ABCD" for a 6 year old guy in insane..
Everything in life happens by time and waiting for a break thru at right time in my life..Hope the poeple reading the blog will also feel the same..
ok, Now time is 11.55 pm and its time to go to bed, otherwise, I would not able to attend my BITS Classes on time..Oofs, Again, TIMING TIMING TIMING!!!!!
HOPE I WILL HAVE A GOOD DAY TOMMORROW (GOOD TIME!!!!!!!!)

Supposed to be my first blog!!
Current Mood : !!!!!!!! Finally
This was supposed to be my first blog of my life!!
Thoughts , thoughts and thoughts!!! Where can you put all these thoughts? A men probably would like to share everything in life with a women or to one of the person with whom he is really attached to.
Perhaps, for a lot of people, who are unfortunate to get a women in life are fortunate to get the blogging community in place..LOL!!
As Usual, This is the place for freedom and no body have the rights to question us.
I have a doubt here? can blogging influence the people who are reading it, or it is the place to pour out all ur thougts at one place..If the answer to the doubt is the second part, then you might not need to step into the world of blogging rather maintain a diary on ur own and right all thoughts to keep it as a asset of ur life...Yes, I do agree that it does have an influence on the people..because I was influenced by many blogs and that's why I am here..
On the other hand, it does make the people really understand the essence of individuality, creativity and innovation, or make them to see life differently...
It has a great influence over the people..
Another question , will it make you satisified? I dont know so..Its a great feeling..you feel like as if you have written a novel all by your thoughts...But one thing is for sure, Its rather one of the ways to influence people and I would put it this way, its one of the ways to socialise...
Lot of real life stories in the mind running through all the day and bursting into so many thoughts, which i would like to share with people..
Let me try to describe it this way,
When we see a movie, at the end of the movie and coming out of the theatre, something would have influenced us from the movie and it would stay in the mind for atleast 2 hour, no matter what how the movie is, and it would vanish off..same thing over here, Blog is like a short film that make your mind occupied to think some thing that you never think of thinking it of..OKAY, I can understand, lets not make things complicated...
here we go, Lets get into the world of blogging!!!!
