an emotional joy..

At every phase of our life, we are accompanied by our friends. It is always good to have friends by your side to tease, to hurt and to support. But sometimes, we are forced to move apart. It generally happens with school friends, as in those days we do not have any contact numbers to save or to distribute. Initially, We miss them. Slowly, time makes us to forget them.. and now they own the name Old Friends...

School days were the days during which the originality of ours play a major role. 10 years of schooling, and we know each other since childhood, so we never try to impress anyone, and thus the originality comes into picture. Years pass as seasons pass.. but memories stay with us to make us smile. Suddenly, one day, we may/will get a chance to meet our old friends to trigger those old beautiful memories.. and I'm sure.. that day is really a special day.

I have few friends in my life whom I missed. I thought I would never meet them again because it has been around 7 years after our schooling. But i'm fortunate to meet 2 of my old friends after 7 years. Recently, I somehow got my friend Rama Krishna's number and we both talked to each other but never thought of meeting due to our busy schedule :P. Anyways, even laziness has its limits.. right?? so we planned to meet each other. On march 16^th 2010, I met my friend RamaKrishna finally. During our school days, I was very short and I used to be the third person standing in line during our prayer time. And now when I met RK, of course after our tight hug, he said “you are comparatively tall now..” and I experienced unconditional proud. We spent nearly 3 hours and recollected our memories. A bench in Krishna Kanth park should thank us as we made her to bear friends instead of lovers..!!

Around 5 days later, I received a call from the same guy RK, and the call summary was that he talked to Durga (other school friend), and they are planning to meet the next sunday. I was ready for this meet too. But we thought of making it somemore special. So we spoked to few other school friends who are in touch with us and we planned a small get together. We made sure of hiding this plan from Durga. On march 28^th 2010, we reached Birla Mandir, and we were waiting for Durga's call. She made us wait for longtime, and finally called RK after her class (I don't know the details of her course). Atlast, after few call processings, our ex-Leader Durga reached birla mandir. We all were ready to surprise her. As planned, RK met her. He made her to walk towards us. The moment she saw us.. she was speechless (but mouth opened). Once imagine, a girl who was prepared to meet only one friend.. and all of a sudden, she was forced to meet 7 other friends that too after 7 years.. Great feeling.. isn't it?? The initial hours of our meet were really tough as silence played its part. But as I already said school friends are friends with whom we never implement shy. We started our recollecting session and the later hours were so special for us as we travelled back to our school days. Felt really happy to see Vinay Teja, Sandeep (Mowgli), Anusha (topper), Sarojini (Jini), Sravanthi (she hates the name Sravs), RK (the actor) and Durga Venu (the leader, angry young girl). I can proudly say.. We all forced a note of an emotional joy in to our voice..

P.S: I have two more friends whom I'm willing to meet in my life. They are Preethi and Vidya Sagar. Hope I meet them one day

a very auspicious day to start my career..

Nearly 10 months after my college, on march 18th 2010, I was called to strike the software industry. This date is already special to me as it is one of my friend's birthdate and I'm fortunate to start my career on this day. Though the days after college made me more lazy than ever, it also showed me the excess patience levels which I had. Anyways, whether we learn something or we unlearn something, it is always good to say Past is Past.

On 18th, at around 5 am, my cellphone's alarm woke me up. Few habits in life never change and of course they should not change. To make the previous statement true, I switched off my alarm and went back to sleep again. But I should really thank cellphones for introducing “snooze” feature, because of which the alarm shouted again after 10 minutes, and this time I realised and didn't shut my eyes for more than 2 seconds. My plan was to leave my home at 6.45, but I was ready by 6.30. I was dressed in a light blue shirt which my mom liked, and a black trouser which my mom insisted not to wear as it was/is black in colour. I satisfied both mom and myself. As I had 15 minutes more to start, I just provided some work to our mirror which is fixed in a pink coloured frame. Both me and my mirror experienced the new “me” because I had put on my tie that day. When I was busy setting my tie, my phone rang and it was Venky from UK. Though the time was not convenient for him to call, he managed to ring my number and wished me. I felt proud to have such time managing friends and received his wishes. Few minutes later, I started from home, went to kukatpally.

Met Varun there, and we both started to CMC gachibowli on our 100cc Honda Activa. I guess it is 100cc, i'm not sure. Let it be anything, we both reached our spot in time with an average speed of “some”kmph. We need to make few settings to ourselves before entering into campus. So we stopped few yards out from the campus, and this time provided some work to honda activa's mirror. We both felt that everything was fine except tie. Anyways, we entered into CMC with different emotions such as excitement, bit tensed, irritation created by tie, happiness, eagerness and the words goes on.

Everything till now was so interesting.. right?? I used 2 paragraphs for narrating 3 hours. And now I just need one paragraph to narrate my next 6 hours of the day. The narration starts now- we all were called in at around 9am. We were sent into CMC's auditorium, the place with less air and special light effects. Initially, there was a presentation about TCS. I have no words to talk about it now as I couldn't hear most of the presentation. Batches were divided later on. Document verification started. Had our lunch after sometime. Post lunch session continued with document stuff. Everyone waited eagerly/patiently until their chance to submit their 100 rupees stamp paper which has print of service agreement on it. At around 3.30pm, document verification was done and we were asked to leave. Spent sometime in the campus, and later started back home.

Before reaching our places, we went to yash's home to describe CMC's auditorium experiences. Shared our 6 hours experience in less than 6 lines. After less than one hour, we started back home. At around 5pm, I reached my place. Answered my mom's questions which I already expected. One hour later, I called Joseph, and I went back to kukatpally again to meet him as that day was his birthday. Right from the day on which I got my joining date, he made sure to tell me that my joining day was very auspicious day. So I went to him to share some part of the auspicious day with him, and of course to eat his birthday cake. Spent sometime with him, nearly 2 hours I guess.. and I started back home. Though my friend Joseph funnily quoted it as auspicious day, I feel it was really a very auspicious day to start my career..

P.S: I didn't expect that I can write this long about this day.. I rock..!!
