I had been to Bangalore in the month of July to meet my friends. Wow! That was a great weekend. I really had good time with Rosh, Rev, Sivakumar, Sandhip and Radha.
That was a funny trip. I left Chennai with few of my friends at work on Friday night and reached Bangalore on Saturday morning around 6.00am. I moved to my college friend's hostel and the girls who came with me moved with their college friends.
I and my friend Rev had a small chit chat and then we got ready to go the temple since it's a Saturday. After we came from the temple, I called one of my other college friend Radha for shopping. When I called her over phone she told me that she got few guest's from Chennai, with whom she planned that Saturday.
All right I decided to meet her in her hostel and been there with Rev.
We had a small hug and greetings for each other. She told me that, her guest from Chennai are new to Bangalore and they came all the way from Chennai and they planned to go to temple.
The funniest part is here, her guest were non other than my friends with whom I travelled from Chennai :>...
Ya then we all been to temple. Unfortunetly, that was my favorite god's(Hanuman) temple which is called Ragigudda's temple. The day went in a plesent way. That evening I met my another close friend Roshni at Forum Mall. We spent time in wandering in and around the mall and left to the hostel around 10.00pm.
The next day, Sunday. We planned to meet our favorite teacher Ramya who is just 3yrs elder to us:) Rev,Rosh,Siva and I gathered at madivala bus stop by 10.am. Then we got into a bus which will stop at tin factor. Where we meet Sandhip at tin factory and we all again got into another bus. The travel was around 1 hr all together. Finally, we reached Ramya mam's home. Wow! again that was a wonderful time we all had. We played with Viswajith our little master(Rum's son).
Rum's specially prepared Bhel pori and coffee for us. Then we started talking about our college days stories. The crushes we had & our friends, the break ups. Also we told the truth to Rum's husband. The truth is nothing but, one fine day we(our class mates in college days) made Ramya cry and she left the class saying that she'll never turn up..
Her husband: !!!!!!!!!
That was a nice pass time we had in mam's house. Then we left her house for lunch.
Again a confusion, where to go for lunch? Finally, Sandhip decided a place and we 5 been to a resturant with bar................(unfortunately non of us drink :( )
That was a lovely 2 hrs in my life. We made chit chats,gossips!! and so many.
Then Siva bid a bye to me and left.Sandhip, Ros, Rev and I decided to shop for Rev's wedding and went to commercial street.
We met Rev & Rosh's friends there(all were girls) and they both moved with them to buy some accessories. Sandhip and I had no idea and were standing infront of a saree shop. Sandhip told that, he wanted to get a good saree for his mother. So we decided to shop there.
Poor thing:
Actually, Sandhip & I had no idea about saree. The salesperson asked us what type of saree we are looking for. We both had no answer. I reliased that I'm such a dumb in shopping. He asked me for what type we are looking for... ???? Then I told the salesperson that we are looking for a good one for our mother. So, show us the one which most of the aunty's wear.
He showed us so many and they were named so and so.. Later, we both did not know which one to buy. We thanked the salesperson and left the shop.. It was a 8 member group,were Sandhip is the only boy. Then Rosh and I felt bad for Sandhip and asked him to leave.
Finally, the shopping got over in 2hrs where none of us shopped. I would say was a window shopping where we wasted 2 hrs. But still I was with my friends.
Around 7pm we turned up to madivala and went to a fresh juice shop. This was another funny thing we did. All of us ordered for fresh juice in that shop. Rosh and I alone left to the nearest bakery and bought some stuffs. We all had 2 mugs of fresh juice where the other customers we looking at us as if we girls we starving. :)
10.30pm:
It was 10.00pm where I left Rev's hostel and bid a farewell to Rosh,Rev & Radha.
Again there was a funny thing. We 5 girls arrived at the boarding place and searching for the bus. It was 10.40 pm and we couldn't find the bus. One of our friend went to each and every bus and asking for its route.
Finally, she found a bus which was going by our route and its waiting for 5 silly girls.It was our bus. The coordinator of the bus was literally blessing us.... People inside the bus gave us a beautiful stare which we normally face at work place... As usual, we treated them as our collegues and gave them a sweet smile..
The bus started...........

Humanity
Yesterday,I was travelling in a share auto to my office via ECR(East Coast Road). That's a pleasent morning. The auto stopped at many places for the passanger to get down and get in to the auto. My friend Vidhya was sitting to my left. I was looking to my right side on the road.
The auto took a zig-zag turn near VGP,since there was a barricade. There, just near the barricade I saw a dog lying. I was wondering how it could lay on the road when heavy vehicles pass by. But to my surprise, the dog was bleeding. My God!
it was unconscious. There is blue cross number in my cell phone, but why didn't I make a call to hel the dog?
I have become one in this busy World, who had no time to look around. Ashamed of myself. Is this humanity? Where did my education go? Is that what my parents taught me ? Is that what I learnt in my schoolings? Is that what I learnt in this beautiful life?
If I would have thought for a while that, the dog has life I could have saved it. Will I react the same way if a human lay on the same place where I saw the dog? What made me to react that way. A phone call would have saved the small animal.
I have been irresponsible to the society.
I promise, I'll be a role model for my next generation.
I take an oath,I would never make any living being suffer when they really need helping hands.
I'm sorry for not helped the dog. I did not see it on the way when I returned home.
I wish it would be saved.
I'm writing this in my blog to remind me and other who read it, that HUMANITY is not being kind to human, it is also being kind to animals.
Live, let live.

2009 a recall
Today is the last day of 2009 and I would like to cherish the moments of 2009.
I am in a account for hardly 1.5 years. In these days I learnt many from the people whom I'm working with. First one year there was no meaning to my growth, but still those were butterfly days to me. Where I enjoyed a lot with my friends. That was a beautiful gang. The gang with a 80's born. Thank god we are not related to a same project. We sent times together at lunch break. That was only moment I wanted to come in my day every now and then:)Wow! that was beautiful days in my life. Where I laughed to my stomach ache.:)
Let me go to my work first.
Initially, I did not recognise that I am working with a wonderful team mates. But at the end of 2008 December I realized their importance. I am not talking about their technical skills, but about their beautiful human skills.
There are few more people whom I would like to recollect at this moment. My past team mates at offshore is a youth team. Where every one of us are in the same year of experience( 2.5yrs and we all are campus recruit). Each and everyone in the team are very talented. I never seen one single soul being rude at any occasion.
My room mates ( hostel and at home) - there are really wonderful and I have no words to say about them.I hardly spend few hours at home(in Chennai). And in that few hours, I had a feel that I am living with my family.
Friends - Time spent and spending with friends are always a wonderful moment at any time in life. I have many good friends and few are very close to my heart. Abi and Seetha who know me for many years better than my any other friends. Seetha and I know each other from our school days. She was my neighbour, then we were rivals and later best friends. She got married an year before. Now she is an expectant mother :)
Abi - was my school mate and area mate initially. Later my classmate and best friend too. This year we both almost sailed in same boat. Faced similar problems in life. Whenever I call her to share my pains, she will be facing the same problem that I want to share with her. Wish her, this new year should be a wonderful year!
Family - I would really thank my sister who takes most of the responsibility at home since am away from them. She takes care of my mother's health and share many of my mother's load. I wish in my next birth we should be again born as sisters to our parents. She does many part time work. Before I started to earn, she started earning.
Finally, I thank my parents for all their support in each and every step I take in my life.
2009 was a wonderful year which taught me many wonderful things in this world. I like to thank each and everyone who came into my life as friends,those whom I met for a certain period, those whom I worked with me, those who are working with me , my friends, my relatives and my family.
Thank God for all the moments I faced. Each moment taught a value.
Wishing everyone a very Happy and a Prosperous New Year!

Coffee
That was a fine evening. Of course the best evening
in my life when I think through . I was sitting alone at the corner table in the coffee shop looking into the menu card. Suddenly, a voice “Excuse me”. I lifted my head to see the person of the voice. “Hi. If you don’t mind can I sit here” the voice said. I was looking around to see whether there is any table to occupy. But it was a coffee shop with hardly four tables where 3 are already occupied by young lovers. So with a wild look I said ‘yes’. He sat opposite to me. The waiter came and I ordered for CAFFE CARAMEL and he ordered for CAFFE AMERICANO with milk. You know what happened? Poor waiter has given us the right orderJ. “Anything else madam? ” No, thank you - my reply “Sir ?” No- he replied. “So can I get the bill?” the waiter said. And we both together said ‘yes’. In another 5mins the waiter came with bill. And you know what? He gave us a single bill. Oops!! Here the headache started… He saw the bill it was Rs.77 for his CAFFE AMERICANO and Rs.72 for my CAFFE CARAMEL. Fate started playing here J. Poor guy he had coffee without checking his wallet. And Now he had only 50 rupee in his pocket where all are 10’s. “Bill Gates family man. hmmm” silly guy. He did not have a penny more than that.
Now its my turn. Sir (our hero) turned to me and asked me if I don’t mind whether I could pay the bill. I was stunned for a while even the waiter puzzled. Waiter in his mind (Poor man do not know how to date!!!) and moved from our table. I couldn’t understand what he meant by the way. And finally, the unrevealed truth came into the daylight. He apologized and told me that he had only 50 rupee in his pocket It is his mistake that he did not check his wallet before coming there. He is such an absent minded guy. He requested me to pay the bill then.
I was totally numb. I dint knew him before. Such a strange figure, wack. Okay, god wants me to give money to an educated beggar for that day . I decided to pay his bill also. When I was about to leave the coffee shop, I felt somebody was calling me. It’s none other than our educated beggar. Yes, that’s how I call him. He came near me and said “Thank you!” and gave me the 50rupee he had for him. I got the money and I moved a step. Again he stopped me and asked for my name.
Aha! for what ? . He said that it was me who saved him so he wants to show me his gratitude. I was cool and replied him “It’s a matter of Rs27 which I don’t mind”. But he was not ready to leave me without knowing my name. Alas I introduced myself as “Sathya”. But even then he was not interested in me going away from him. Again he asked for my number. Now he tried to lure me. (My inner voice, Aha he started to flirt Sathya. Escape!!!) Started asking for my contact number. (Man, its my mistake that I paid your bill). Anyway even I liked the way he flirts. My number **********.
Then he introduced himself as Srivatsan and gave me his contact number. He promised me that he will repay me by that evening.
It was a Sunday evening. You know what there are many lovely evenings in my life J . Yes, second best evening I would say. I went to beach all alone. That was a nice breeze and lovely tides. But I didn’t understand that they both were about to tell me something and they passed me without uttering that secret. There were so many people in the beach and me one among them who sat alone and admiring the mother nature. Suddenly, my mobile phone rang. It was an unknown number blinking on the phone screen. I attended the call and said “Hello”. The voice at the other end said ‘Hi’. I couldn’t recognize the owner of the voice. I asked ‘who is this?’. The voice replied ‘hey miss! You forgot me ??’ Still I couldn’t recognize. You know who was that? It was my ‘educated beggar’ Sri J Later the voice said ‘Am Srivatsan. Remember ? Coffee shop, CAFFE AMERICANO, Rs27. At least now??’ God. The moment he said ‘Srivatsan’ I understood. But still being a girlJ…. Then I slowly reacted with a big pause ‘Oh! Yeah’.
All those days I was thinking about him and that was the only name I knew in those time. You don’t believe me, it was love at first sight. Till those days I did not believe in Love, especially Love at First Sight. But Sri changed my view. And to Sri Am not the first love J Alright, let me tell you what happened then.
We both greeted each other and he asked whether I could meet him that evening in beach. Hmmm bad guy. I was taken aback for a while. This guy he always give me some kind of shocks. I asked him was he really crazy. But my beggar said no he wants to repay my 27rupee that’s why he called me. God he was really insane. Then I replied politely ‘sorry Sri, it’s not possible for me to meet you now’. He asked why?
I told him that I was busy with my office work. Here I was trapped. Yes, when I was telling him these stories I felt an image was standing in front of me. All of a sudden my pulse rate went to its peak. You don’t believe it was my sweet idiot Sri !!!!!!!!!
I didn’t know how to react then. You must have seen my grin then. Oh! Even I couldn’t digest it now.
We both sat down and he started to talk about the coffee shop incident. I didn’t know how I spent 2 hrs with him at beach on that evening. Suddenly my phone rang. It was my mom. Now it struck me that it was 9:30 p.m. This guy he really made me mad. Then we both realized it was too late and we left.
That week went in messages and late evening calls. Not only that week, few months went like that. The next Sunday of the month came. It was my b’day. That day he called by 4 in the evening and said he wants to meet me. You know what the reason he gave for the meeting??? Rs27 J
I smiled inside. My wish was to meet him and hear him flatter. So I accepted his invitation. The place he called me was the same old coffee shop where I met him first. He told me that he will meet me there at 7 pm and I been to the shop 30min before our schedule.
The moment I entered the shop I saw him at the same table where we met and he was with a bouquet of flowers. That was a very big surprise to me. I moved to that table in a bewildered state. With a smile on his face he wished me ‘Happy Birthday’ and gave me the bouquet. I was dumbstruck. Before I could recollect what has happened, he said he wanted to pay all my bills throughout his life-time. Me dumbo gal did not understand that he indirectly proposed meJ
The clock ticks 5(in the evening). I am having the last sip of my coffee at balcony. I hear the door bell ringing. Ashwin opened the door and he shouted that grandpa got chocolates for him and his lovely sister Akshara. It’s our 60th wedding anniversary and Sri had got me a bouquet of rosesJ

Music
Life can not be imagined without music. Whether one love music or not, but music is a part and parcel in everyone's life.When we cry there is a music, when we laugh there is a music tuned by our organs. It gives pleasure,joy and what not ?
It gave me an immense pleasure during a period in my life. Later, I couldn't enjoy its essense.
