Strength Inspiration, is always is situated within one. Then why do we search it outside, from others. Hum doosron ke aadi kyon ban jaate hain? Hum doosron se kyon umeed karte hai apne khushiyon ka ? Hum kyon doosron ki khushi hamari khushi maan lete. Pichle kuch dinon se hum bechain se hain, khushi paakar bhi khush nahi hai. Ek ajeeb sa darr guilt hai. Guilt isliye hai ki, hum selfish ho rahe. Hum chan minuton ki khushiyon ke liye, achche buraai ka raastha chun nahi paa rahe, hum naahi kisi ki jaan le rahe aur naahi kisi ka ghar ujaad rahe hai. Hum yeh tay nahi kar paa rahe hum selfish hai ya nahi. Aur naahi uske baare mein soch sakte hain. My dad always thought me to be independent and right socially and legally. Some people thought me social implications are just ones mind and nothing else. But still am always thinking about it. Am i right or wrong? Dad always thought me independence, the hardest way. E pampered me, also thought me to grow my ego as self respect. Never to bow before others. But mom thought love forgiveness i forgave people by their one sweet word. Am i right in doing this. Should i think about others before i think of my happiness do i stay dependent on others or should i be independent and guiding light ??

As mom always says the bonding between us, was more than a relationship we had..Did it start from the time I was in mom's womb? Don't know...never asked you about it.Mom is still jealous about this thing related to us,within 30 min of my birth I was in your arms, and had stopped crying immediately...is it that I felt safe in your arms so much....????? I don't know and U are not there to answer it....you always knew what I wanted even before I told you. Ex: food,cloths,toys, hunger, sadness, about studies or my dreams.......you were the best in knowing my mind wituout even telling it out..be it about my eating habit of eating dessert first (jamun) and than ordering main course,or watching my fav heroes movie beside you at theatres ,or drinking by 2 coffee with you at our fav janata hotel which we did together for almost 12 years as I remember... You were my hero ,my idol, I learnt being tough from you,ego ,stubborness is your hereditary gift to me..you passed over your temper to me lil by lil..probably this Ego, stubborness took you away from me...I hate myself for this and can never forgive myself.. Each time I got admitted at St Johns,I could see that anxiety on your face...but still you never let me down, and u made happy with you being beside me, you were an ANGEL in my life..messenger from GOD...Everybody says mom is an ANGEL..I agree with that but ANGEL NO 1 were you....with glucose bottle in one hand, you took me to chapel and thought me about God lord jesus and thought me to bow before him.You took me to the small book shop at he hospital, bought me coloring books, story books and colors These Colors you painted my life , it took away the sadness of hospital and made my life colorful even on the sick bed of hospital FORMALIN environment..You said colors always should make up happy and merry and not sad..Walks with you were the best ones.. walk time our talks about the property,and you and our Village, though not a thing entered my lil head except for nodding my lil head and stretching my arms to you, and asking you to carry me is what I always did..... Probably except me none had the guts to talk to you directly about anything or sleep on your lap and your shoulders... As a kid I first wished to be a teacher, seeing your struggles, I changed my mind to be a doctor, but whenever I played doctor doctor game with you being my patient and gave you an injection, the very next day ,you were falling sick,I never wanted to see you as an unhealthy person...I always wanted you to be my strength on whom I always lie down for.support be it your laps or on your shoulders...even after joining job , when I came home from late night shifts, seeing your welcome smile felt so good and felt like heaven on sleeping on your lap and discussing day to day activities.. You thought me to read write ,solve things intellectually, work in the field of literature and you became my critic..you thought me gardening,growing beautiful roses with thorns and coriander with mint..in the tiny space alotted to me...you always said I resemble your mom and many a times I have behaved like one when u were adamant about taking medicines and food...you were nice at times strict too..you liked simplicity, and you hated make over...so mychildhood days were away from cosmetics and others make up kits...you thought me stubborness and mom thought me to kneel..i was so confused but still I alwys love to be like you... Till last week, I always learnt from you to live and love life no matter how hard it may be.Sometimes I have been stupid but U were there beside me.I was never so much grief striken even when dears of mine went away like blacky, shilu, sandy etc.but the grief now is like a heavy stone placed on my heart.I have fought with you many times , I regret them equally ..but people around me now convince it was all for U itself coz I was scared of losing you..but I can never forgive myself for being rude in the last few days with you..probably my ego, stubborness, harsh words took you away from me..leaving me all alone in this world.... I am scared of the darkness of this world...I am scared of loneliness ..W were a complete man who loved me so much like no man can ever love me so much...i needed U and will need you forever.. ..in two days there is a ceremony to bid farewell to your journey to kailasa..I do not want to bid u farewell ...I need u in form or formless..its more than a week that I slept peacefully..I love u so much..I miss ur hug and esp ur lap, my resting place ur chest and shoulders.... Today we are done with 11th day rituals ,, in between I have secretly visited your grave thrice...but I cant get enough of you...I know you are around me .....Today I could see small bugs on your grave before the rituals started...They say there is no pain after death..But I just couldnt imagine the bugs digging into the deep soil where you are in meditating state and lil by lil digging into your skin..These thoughts for others might be exaggerated or might be am overthinking ..but I just cant stop myself from these thoughts....Dad please come back..I promise to be good..never harsh..Dad.... Each step, each walk with you was a walk to.remember..transforming the better me into best....u always strived hard to fulfill my wishlist until I grew up to fulfill my own.. Except.for few.things...like getting permissin from you tojoin school athlete team,NCC, and wish to ride bicyle..problem or I don't know what is that with you ..you were so over protective about me..you hated it when I fell down..when I hurt myself...or when mom beat me...u were so protective about that you carried me in your arms.after my operation when I was sixteen..that protective..even docs were convinced bout my recovery , after Feb 27th black day of my life..u were still scared...u guarded me each moment more than mom too...on my failures you have shed secret tears than me....I was you dream , and you were ready to fulfill my dreams at any cost....you knew my each small habit, each fears big or small...you read my mind......somehow we had our minds sing together....u were he best dad and one good thing of my life..u were negative for others but dearest to me..though I fought with you , U knew its for good...and U loved me.even more...i regret the last 15 days of your life..I am really sorry....sorry is very least but words is what I have hurt you with ...when U were adamant...if at all I had known ...love U dad....please be wth me.forever

Hunger

What is HUNGER? Very few will know the real meaning of it.India tops in the list of death caused by Hunger.. I here do nt wish to discuss to national level issue or International issue..
Its just an exp...Hunger of stomach is most common of all,Hunger for wealth, lust , power are there...Most powerful of all is stomach....

I have experienced it during my mysore days, where very less money I used to keep for myself and send home everything. Very less money means , the last 7 days of month no breakfast, no lunch only dinner.I very rarely ask people for help, if I mean to ask someone with 100% hope , I will get help from there. Very less friends were there around me there whom I could look forward. I hate eating out , mostly prefer homemade food, one of the main reasons me not to stay in PG is this whatsoever cook myself and eat.

Today, when I started from home, due to gas leakage , not even milk or water I had, no breakfast. When I was on road waiting for auto , remembered auto strike. Then finally got hold of an auto who demanded Rs 100/- to drop me to office. I said ok and got in . After some crosses thsi auto was stopped by other auto guys.. Then he denied to take me further. I somehow had to reach office as I was late..Reached bus stop. Dint get one bus also. Thank god to have found one more auto person.

This second person demanded Rs 120/- thats all I had.Finally agreed .Reached office safe, while on my way messaged a friend , to sponsor my lunch and to returning home .I was damn hungry , sitting silently waited for my lunch break. (Due to gas leakage night also didnt feel like eating anything.)

Finally , when it was lunch looking forward to my friend, but my friend walked away without a word. Not sure. I just sent a message , Going further never will rely and my friend was damn confused why I messaged such a message. He hadnt seen my message.

I am writing all this , just to say hunger makes you do what not!!!!!! Hatssoffff Hunger.....Even the coolest composed person also will go to an extent of wrong doings when Hungry.....
Then why do we punish people who steal when hungry.. There's nothing wrong ....

U know why am writing all this ,, I am damn Hungry and will kill my friend to death once back from lunch ..... :)(Wickedish Angry smile)...... I even asked two people but due to month end they too dont hav........Yes but am almost starving now.....almost tears today........

Shivagange...

<!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 false false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
Yesterday... Was a lively lovely day... A date with rain , sun ,cool breeze with rocks monkeys and dog at shivagange. Wat a wonderful date it was . Muahhh. I just love trekking

My trek on Saturday was very interesting , though after my accident due to my hurting leg & Surgery , I haven’t done any exciting Trek , SRS hills was quite a small trek in comparison to Shiva Ganga and Savandurga. Shivaganga is less tougher compared to Savandurga, cos there are steps to traverse at Shiva Gange.

Shiva Ganga is a hill about 50 km from Bangalore, 20 km ahead of Tumkur. It’s a pretty tall hill with two Shiva temples, one very close to the foot of the hill and another, that’s possibly around 5 km uphill! The deities are “Gangadhareshwara”, and his consort “Swarnambha”.

The place is just fantastic, with breathtaking views from the high altitudes. Brilliant are the views of the surrounding city, the nearby `pushkarini’ or pond, from the top of the hill. Most of the place is rocky, with railings to hold on to as you climb, and monkeys to make sure you don’t take any offerings to the deity on top! A very unforgettable experience was how Akshath was snatched of his bag by a monkey searching the bag for for some food but only found his text book, PSP which he threw away as it was a waste (luckily it was safe as it fell on Grass).Another experience was monkey sitting on Jazz back pack ,and one more was quite expereinced the terrror of monkey myself.

Once we reached at the top I saw that there were many of them starving , so bought cucumbers and cut them into pieces and distributed to them. I saw a dog also looking so adorably he wanted something to eat, so bought a biscuit packet and gave a few biscuits . Kept rest of them to myself so that I can feed myself while walking down.But one of the sharp ones among them saw that I kept in my side pocket, he came down to along with me to search in the pockets and took it and ran away. I remember another funnier thing how he took Vani’s water bottle and struggled so much to drink water.

Some of the places on the way to the top were reminscent of `Prince of Persia’, where you had to figure out a way which is hardly apparent to the eye (the typical hidden ledge you would climb on to)! In all, it was an experience in trekking as well :D. Inside some of the rocks (of which even the temple and the deities and sannidhis are a part of!), you could find some small fountains or water bodies, that we were told, never dry up throughout the year! But the most intriguing of all was a tunnel which supposedly led into the heart of Bangalore (couldn’t snap this up though!).

About the Tunnel, this was dug as secret escape passage from Bangalore , which is also from GaviGangadhareshwara temple . Could you believe to travel from Bangalore it takes normally around 1 hour 30 minutes but if u traverse thru this secret tunnel it is just 20 minutes they say.. Unbelievable..

One more Unbelievable part of Shivaganga is when u smear Ghee over Lord Shiva’s Head on the shivalingu u get Butter..Is it ever possible in Science as we know it and irreversible chemical process… But here u will experience this.

The way back was the same, but more easily traced (without the pebbles of Hansel and Gretel), Took about 2-2.5 hours to go up I guess and around 2 hrs to get down the hill. Being a Saturday, there was hardly any crowd, but we were told that there’s a lot of queuing on Sundays and on Overall, it appears to be a great place for a quick weekend trek.

Eh Shivani , tu lagthi hai naani "is the original song, the girl writes it as Eh Triveni as her friends name is Triveni.. The whole class burst out laughing and the girl goes out to wash her hands (Clean the Chalk Dust)....Triveni goes to Black Board and writes it as Parvathi ..(Chemistry HOD's name whose class was next after lunch break) Ooops....By the time the girl entered the class HOD was already in the class and screwing the one who had written the poem , not knowing the same girl who had entered the class just then had written the song on the Black Board...The whole class was silent and nobody revealed it was this girl who had written it....F*&K ...Lucky me the girl thought and kept quite...Third The brother and sister had a good bonding , the brother who was elder always used to share about his friends to his sister from small age.. Now the girl was in College and the brother in some training..and the girl wanted to know if the bro had a GF would he reveal the same....She spoke about this to her close friend and both decided to Pry on the brother. Her friend called from her home to the brother's office and started speaking as Nayana..!st day over, the girl awaited bro will come and tell her ...Nopes he dint speak about it..Second day over still No Chance..Third day she made her friend call her home and bro picked up ...Her bro cut the call ...The girl was moping the floor and couldnt stop smiling ....Zyyyyyyyyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn she went under Sofa laughing to control her laugh.....Bro came to know something is wrong ..Nayana Hmmm...

Hmmm wants to date with me..Hmmm Come out ya and tell me who is this...The girl just argued she dint know at alll.....Dinner time Bro took out this topic in front ofparents and parents were laughing , the girl finished her dinner and ran to her room ASAP.Fourth:

This happened at work place night shifts.. Pulling each others leg was daily routine.. Even the manager was also not spared though all had a special respect towards the manager.. The girl started a mail teasing two girls in her team...CCing everyone in the team.Chain mail started everyone replying as per the conversation going on ..Enjoying the conversations...While the conversation was on thru mails , manager went suddenly to one of the guys desk to check the QC report for the month.Sudden POP up of these mails led to his curiosity and he opened the mails and started reading all the mails...He went to his desk back drafted a mail saying "meri amma "ab bas bhi karegiii....Immediately chain mail stopped and everyone serious back to work...The girl came to zManager['s desk Grinning ..Sat beside the space by the desktop @ manager's workstation...

Manager " Arey tum logon ko seriousness hi nahi hai"?I have given you a team, tumhe tho kuch farak hi nahi padthi hai...Hmm aur batao kiske naam lekar un donon ko chida rahe the...
The last sentence was enough for her..

"-----", Friday mood mein hai yaar..masto tho rahegi..Ab se phir nahi hoga kasam se sorry yaar mein chali...

Abe rukh ja tu ...ab bolke hi jaaa u r culprit in my team..sabko Bhigadegi tu...

This type of nok jhok happened till 3 :00Am until the girl got her call from CAB,...

This is the funniest part.. Weekend ..OWL group as usual awake..messaging one another..
The girl had done with her 100 free messages for the day, so slowly took her bro's mobile and started messaging her friends...She messaged one of her close friends PINGOO..Pingoo dint know whose this number was..So she started with Who are you..This idea stuck the girl to play up with her a while..

Pingoo: Who are you?
Girl:Sweetheart it's me your childhood friend

Pingoo:Which Childhood friend, you should have a name right?Tell me your name.
Girl:Sachin ..

Pingoo:I dint have any friend by that name.
Guirl :You forgot me, Cheee my life is a big waste now. I just came back for you only.Just for you dear..

Pingoo is so confused she messages all her friends asking if they knew who it was ..sending the number.

The girl already had sent all her friends not to reveal its her ..so totally confused and scared pingoo was.......This went on..She stopped messaging after saying Stupid..again the girl messaged her "dont u rememeber at all honey" Sadd....

So Pingoo started the conversation again as who it was

The girl said , we were childhood friendss studied in Christ school we both ate in same .We were neighbours.. ....

Pingoo started pleading..... Everyone in the team knew this girl was playing prank but nobody revelaed it.

Again this girl started off telling , I am outside your door , come out and see.Am sitting on my bike waiting for you .If you dont come I will come and ring the bell.

Man this took of pingoo's life she was so scared who the mad is at 4:00Am early some one at my door.Finally this girl messaged sweetheart its me ....Had a nice time fooling sleep well Good night...Pingoo started cursing her and just if they right then face to face she would have killed her..

Nevermeant to hurt but just for fun....

.......

To write about this was from the days I was in hospital , when I saw a couple helping each other.Very old couple who were sick, the old lady was on wheel chair and the uncle was pushing the wheel chair. I was there with my granny , who had come to take care of me for some tests.

Old ladies blood test was over and that Uncle her husband was taking for collecting urinary sample, he was pushing it himself .Grandma offered help saying she will take the lady in, but Uncle said its alright.

There were no kids with them , talking to them came to know , they have 5 kids and all of them settled abroad and two of them in Delhi.Out of 5 none of them is ready to keep the parents near them. My mind went floating off with thoughts , after a certain point of time in life , its no one else will be there with you, ur husband or wife tats it .no kids , no brothers and sisters no relatives..

But in many of our lives we wouldnt respect that partner and we go off behind somebody else...with these thoughts remembered a song which I had heard long back , where the guy asks his girl a few questions.......

In most of the love relationships , we see now guys want a time pass when their first love is away somewhere..for this short duration time pass relationships guys give a name as love.. its not Guys even girls also..

In a way girls are smarter when they know guy is falling for them they let them encourage them , I dont blame all girls few of them cant say NO to the guy who is in love with them , and they suffer inside..but few girls encourage guys to fall though already in relationships and finally give a reason as my parents dint agree , In these kind of relationships the second guy would be ready to anything to the girl on a competition , he would be loyal , he wouldnt look at any other girl to impress the girl he loves...she would have been his life...his heart beat, but the girls use up this sentiment and get their work done...the guy would have so much fooled that he would have spent his entire earnings in amusing the girl and girl wouldnt have much left to withdraw from him...she would be very sweet with few tears and saying parents are totally against , I just wanna live my lifetime with you but parents are barriers...

In relationships where girls think from heart always get hurt , first guy would be behind and the second guy would be black mailing saying I cant live without pls dont leave me stuff. The girl continues even after her marriage also he would use her until his marriage as his support and finally blame her that she is not letting him live his life..

Is relationships become such cheap that we seek our comfort and not others happiness...I know lots of people seek relationship as WIFE or HUSBAND is necessary for me when I need something and fulfill my needs....relationships is not only finance, sex , family increment but its an unbreakable bond which has to live for years together.

Some of the marriage break due to ego problems, nobody wants to compromise.. Marriage is not carrying ego or to show I am great..They are just the wheels of the chariot without one another "Chariot of marriage " is not carried further.Why cant we adjust with our partner, its not only for girls even for guys both should leave their ego and go further...some marriages break just cos husband was snoring or smelling bad....

In some cases people get married to the person who is working abroad so that they get a VISA easily to land abroad..its kind of deal..is relationships become so cheap...

Real Meaning of marriage is not understood during early years of marriage cos we dont live life for us , we live life for our future and our children, We start living life after 30 years of marriage where children are also settling up and then we look for our partner who was with us all this while.A person who had never respected his wife thru out his life starts caring for her at this age, A middle aged lady who looks for her children support during her 40's realises ,children need their friends rather than parents anymore...... some unlucky people would have lost their spouses before even living this life..In kannada there is a saying Nee nanage Naa ninage..this is when life starts ...so why live life after so many years ..live each moment of ur life for ur spouse ..respect ur spouse dont dominate,
..keep aside ur egos say sorry be it whosoever mistake
..finance and sex is not the important thing in life
..forgive each other;s mistake each others lies
..if u feel u cant give happiness to the other try being the way they like , and the second one please accept ur loved one as they are or atleast notice the effort they are making.by having a breakup or divorce u wont get peace but u will just add ur numbers to the list of ur spouses.
If you feel in ur love life , u cant give happiness , there is nothing as good relationship after a break up, so break it up completely so that the other one wouldnt come back to u to say sorry and hurting each other and having an unhealthy relationship....just break it completely its good u become villany rather than staying good and spoiling everyones life around u....

I dont what sense it makes to all but my understanding abt relationship is crystal clear....

Chennai -Visa INTERVIEW.

Everybody has favourites in their life.Same here, I have fav song, fav movie, fav genre, fav place and also the deadly opposite most hating place. CHENNAI.

If one place I hate in this world the most its one and only Chennai.Its got nothing to do with people of my acquaintance there but my personal exp which happened in Chennai..The most disastrous yet memorable events took place there.

It all started in the month of April , My Senior process manager wanted all supervisors who were handling teams to apply for VISA.So all of us had to get docs ready and apply. I informed my friend that night who was then in US , and then after reaching home to my parents. Mom started off you going alone so farrrr..No chance , first marriage and then you can go anywhere. I replied , mom , first I need to get VISA approved only then if there is such incidence I will be sent.
Things calmed up at home after the discussion.

From next day started up with collection of necessary docs for applying and me SMITHA(SMIKOO) applied together.So we got the same date scheduled Jun 2nd 2006.

The Day came when we had to travel to Chennai , Jun 1st 2006, the same day was my best friends wedding another fickle minded person as I call him always..Me and Smitha got our room booked in the Grand Orient Hotel .

Me and smikoo had to go towers office to collect our DD and Ticket.
I was excited not that I am going to chennai or for VISA, but this was my first train travel henceforth I was excited that too shatabdhi,,, At 3:30 we got our tickets which was not confirmed yet , then on way met my friend and then back home.. Dad mom accompanied me to Railway Station and then bro joined up there. Smitha arrived 5 min late. I met my tuition sir (also the person whom I worked as assistant in taking tuitions during college days).He was also in same train , and also visiting Chennai for the same purpose as mine.



Bro helped in getting our seats confirmed.. and here we started out journey..It was A good feeling traveling in train but as all windows wll be closed.... We reached Chennai at 9:30 PM I guess.We hired a Taxi from The railway station to the hotel and on the way recharged my TN mobile number given by my friend who is from TN.



We reached hotel and got fresh, and then started preparing our docs. Called home and Called all my friends to say I reached safely. Me and Smikoo were talking...Sari Called , I said butterflies in my stomach as I was restless scared ... first time staying away just me and one more girl......She sang a song for me to cool me down..U know something all my friends pamper me so much ...I ask them anytime to sing they would sing..Then Santhosh called around 12, he also sang songs to calm me down....am one spoilt brat, adamant ..stubborn...until in SPS bangalore my world was different, at one place I was handling a responsible role but at the same time very childish .....Thanks to Sari and santhosh who never denied my requests though tired they always sang songs for me...Listening to songs when I closed my dont know, Sandy called again as he dint know I had slept , I said GN and slept off....



Next morning got ready and left hotel at 9:15 after breakfast.. We took a RICK to Embassy , Reached there in less than 5 min... He charged 50 rupees...so started a bad day for us..

We saw the queue which seemed like never ending , If u had been there u cud have seen us in all possible postures standing, sitting, resting ,on one another.....



At 12:30 PM an American came out and called al the 9:30 Scheduled people in.. We were again pushed back so finally we went in at 2:00PM .Again I met Shamanna Sir there just before my interview and he wished me All the Best.. We were questioned for 5 minutes and informed as we had our VISA approved..Then a BIG SHOCK was awaiting .. Our DD's were expiring on MOnday June 5th and we need to produce a NEW DD.



We soon went to the nearby bank and got out DD done..and came back and produced it. So our cash was completely NIL just 50 Rs in hands of each of us.We reached our Hotel at 3:30PM . with nO food there also and dint find any good hotels nearby also ..Starving from hunger and also Tired...Ufffffffffffffffffff came in front of the room tried opening the room door..Punch card dint work at all and Ooppps Door not opening....CHENNAI CHENNAI....felt like yelling...Finally gave a Hard KICK on the door ..MIRACLE!!! it opened ...WOW KICK works out .. but finally got neighbours out peeping ..Felt Embarassed but dint care abt it..Just walked in fell on the Bed..



Called Mom and informed and also Bro, me and Smikooo both were tired of CHENNAI thought of cancelling our sunday ticket and going back the same day to Namma Bengalooru ..Called up Railways to cancel and rebook our tickets for same night but no seats available....called up Bus Service to fnd if any buses are there for the same day they said one is there at 4:30PM and we need to reach in half an hour... We just kept the phone.. I called up my friends and said deciding to come back same day Tarun Rachel Sari Sudeep all said ya better come soon..Called up Santhosh informed Abt VISA approval , He wished congrats and then when I said I wanna come back as I dnt have a Pie extra then 50 Rs he said "R u Mad"?Just enjoy Chill over there..I said What to Chill in this heat..He said He will ask his friends to drop in money to the place I stay In the evening. Thanks a lot Santhosh and his friend who dropped in Money for us 2000 Bucks.....



When Sandy's friends came , we were in Spencers which we had traversed by walk .... and had idli there...and did some window shopping..



At 7:30 PM Madhavi came to the hotel and we packed and checked out from the hotel.. Here we took a rick went to Egmore from there Local train to Thambaram... We had enough seats to sit but still me and Mads near the door just remembered Saathiya movie where they look at each in moving train and I was teasing Mads , as to Everyday how many get swept of their feets.......



We reached her place from Railway station by RICK he charged 75 Rupees for 10 minutes drive....uffffffffffff tired dead tired with these auto guys. We reached home , just then power cut.It had slightly drizzling also me and mads sat oustide and spoke of all three years missng....While smikoo went to take CANDLE LIGHT BATH..Just when she came out Power was back ....WOW...felt like heaven when power was back .....AC and Fan .....



We slept after dinner at 12:30 ..next morning we woke up late at 11:45 AM..found Mads already had left to office and she had left us guidelines to reach T nagar. Aunty was preparing pickle , me and smikoo got the recipes cos its quite different then south Indian pickles.



Aunty was weaving a sweater we learnt a bit of that also , finally went to get ready had lunch . We forced aunty also to come along with us as she was alone..Aunty was all the time complaining mads goes to work even on saturdays also. We reached T nagar at 5:Pm seeing the crowd there remembered the GIRI MALLIKA( PEOPLE go around the Thiruvannamalai hills every full moon in the night , it will be so crowded , u need to walk u wil swim in the crowd as the crowd pushes u forward.....) same thing in T nagar as soon as u come out of the railway station..



We had DOSA in near by hotel and went to shopping .. Went to Chennai Silks asked him to show some sarees...He started off with jingle bells sareers( I call the worked sarees with all the jingles on it , I dont like it . I particularly like simple sarees , Kanchi sarees and Mysore Silk) .He then said he has Mysore Silk Sarees for 1000 Rupees..I was wonderstruck ..Mysore Silk just for 1000Rs.. When I saw that I very soon knew its not Mysore Silk Its Crape......Pure Mysore Silk would cost not less than 2,500 rupees 3000Rupees this is least now tho its more than 9000Rupess minimum...

Mysore ..Namma Mysore..I miss u now.

This time when mom said I have to go to native felt it little boring but planned to go to Chamundi hills my fav spot in Mysore.So agreed I shall go on Thursday afternoon and comeback on Saturday after going to hills .
Thursday after Church and Sai Baba Mandir I left at 12:45PM from home. I went to cyber cafe checked my mails and then left to Majestic.Heavy traffic at Diary circle..stuck up for 45 min and reached Majestic at 2:45PM almost two hours .searched for Mysore bus and got in..Dint find window seat.so had to adjust to will aside seat .
3 Hours passed away easily talking to the person beside me...generally about Mysore.Climate work etc etc..
finally reached mysore and went to search hotel to hog something light but seeing the hotel dint feel like..Going to Green Leaf is way tooo far..packed some gifts and sweets for my aunt and cousins and Puni and jaanu (neighbouring kids at native).I reached native at 8:00PM and next day finished my work and started off to Mysore to my aunts place.

I left at 6:00PM from native.One good thing that I don't have mobile is nobody can track me where I am .
atleast I am free of all unwanted questions.While travelling back the bus was half empty. My mind started going to past ..Those days which I spent in Mysore a year and two months...Mind started wondering of all things I did.

My two houses in Mysore..These words only say about my attachment with Mysore..I would always say My place My house in Mysore..It shows so much closeness between me and that place..Though its my native before my stay never felt that closeness.

The house near to chechi's mess the haunted house as I always refer it to..My Abhishek Circle house.The temples in Surya Bakery and Vijayanagar and age old temple near the lake  and  prashantha ganapathi temple, Vontikoppal Temple and Chandramouli temple at the end of KD road....

Madhu's Veg, Rasoi in KD road and near to office , Green Leaf, Vishnu Bhavan, Jai Mata di dhaba..Whenever Cooking gas got over , our usual mess Chechi's mess, Tamil Mess near Surya Bakery ,Papad and sabzee at Chechi's mess and Kadlekaalu huli at Tamil Mess, Parlour lady and the two auto drivers who always cared for me like their daughter..
Myself and Lakshmi roaming at Vijayanagar Chat Centre area and benne masale at Davanagere Dosa Stall, Pepper Capsicum curry at Madhu's veg., Subway rolls , Pizza Cornerat KD road..Ummmmmmmmmmm Mouth watering

Our shopping at Discount world, Food world Fab city , Fab India shopping and West Zone Casual shopping and Urs Road where we brought our TV and Did shopping for Sundari's marriage without intervention from any elders..Bombay Chat Centre in Urs road.. Visiting Mysore Silk Factory....Sayyaji rao road

Latenights at Planet X , Punjabi Dhaba, and seniors place visit and our Dinner..latenight project party arranged by me at Metropole , Sandesh The Prince , Lunch at The monarch and Grand Maurya..

Every Thursday fasting and going to Infant Jesus and Sai Baba Mandir during lunch break....accompanying my junior to Spider man 3 and Mungaaru Male...and while returning from Movie falling from bike at the main road near Suburb Bus stand..Suburb Bus stand always my decision point..When I come back from Bangalore , I stand there and decide at 5 in the evening whether to go to room or to Chamundi Hills..Then always deciding on Chamundi Hills

My friends from blore coming to Mysore to see me and we all having party at my place Afy Najju sudha Rachel Deepika Kumu....All halla gullas and hustles bustles at home and then going to Balmuri falls ..Me and Afy competing in eating Pineapple slices sold there..Solomon Sindhu Vishwa Anoop Indu and me shahid and Deepa going to Balmuri and Chamundi in july on the birthday of the lordess....

We all room mates going to Somnathpura temple changing 3 buses..Hiking was a good exp,Sundari and me visiting Old age and Orphanage frequently.
Oh man thinking of all these I miss you Mysore..

Celebrating Preetham's birthday Indu;'s birthday,Arjuns birthday..Myself Indu and Arjun travinelling from Mysore for deepavali sitting at the door and getting excited whenever the train passed over the Paschimvahini bridge and Canals..awesommeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the exp was...

My Worst birthday, Nov 4th 2007, Oct 5th 6th  Nov 19th , Jan 1st 2008 Jan 16th 2008.. Dec 19th 2007, One day travels to Srirangapatna , Nanjangood,Jan 1st after fight to Chamundi...Mysore to bangalore Then to Chennai and Kanchipuram and from there to Pondi..for my friends marriage..Encounter with Real estate agent ,courtesy by my roomies ..and me going to a shock state for 3 hours...Mr Maadegowda..Auto driver who helped me and roomies from this situation I shall never forget him..

Going Bopy's with a group of friends and feeling uneasy and taking leave from them all and back to my room late night dinner at Punjabi restaurant with my senior and get together at seniors place..

Friends like Arjun Preetham Priyanka Dileep Sundari and Syed......

While I was thinking all this I remembered Maadegowda uncle the auto driver from abhishek circle who had helped me several times..When I was sick for a month he took me to hospital , got me breakfast and medicines and when I was in any nook and corner of mysore He came there just by a single call and would pick me up..More than a father he had taken care..When real estate agents drunk and came near my house in LK nagar and created nuisance he had strictly told not to trouble me and my roomies if not he needs to face consequences...Whenever I wanted to go to any temple or any where in Mysore would guide me and wouldnt charge more..like other auto guys....I am really grateful to him...When I reached Aishwarya petrol bunk , I immediately thought let me make use of this narrow time to meet this person.. got down there and went to Infant Jesus Church and from there took rick to Abhishek circle..On way bought a shirt to Uncle and reached abhishek circle at 7:15PM..But there found he had gone to some other place....Waited there for 15 min and handed over to another auto guy..who recognised me as soon as he saw me..I told him to had over the shirt to uncle and I shall call him tomorrow...

I left from their unhappy....As when I saw the Vijayanagar and abhishek circle area..  tear rolled down from my eyes...A pain evoked in my heart..First time in my life I regretted my decision..
I quit Infy not for money not for transfer fearing somebody....I could have over come all those fears and stayed I felt....but its done....I wanted to get back to mysore ..My life My idealogies...My freedom and its all I.....but learnt the factor WE here.......I realised true colors of many friends here..But never regretted anything in my life ..my two regrets are , hurting somebody with all my knowledge where even I was helpless....and quitting Infy Mysore....I never regretted losing a friend , or slapping somebody with full fury, or getting angry at my mom and bro..but I regretted this decision.....


Whenever I went to Mysore it was a day or two a week s trip and nothing else but this time I came back to Bangalore with a heavy heart..

After this went to Ramaswamy circle from their to lower court and KG koppalu and to Asha Usha  aunties house..Sunil my second cousin greeted with big smile..My twin aunts Asha and Usha aunts hugged and greeted..Anil who was coming from Bangalore that day after work called on to aunts mobile and told me to get ready for a long drive and to Planet X....I got ready , me Sunil and Anil left out to bannur road and drove for an hour and then to Planet X...Bowled ..dint enjoy the alley here both my cousins went to Go KART....

We were back after 11 and slept tired that night...

I woke up at 5:00 in the morning and got ready to go to Chamundi..Ani woke up at 6:30 by then I was helping Usha aunty for breakfast.....We had breakfast and left at 7:30..Saraswathipuram , Ballal Circle, Vidyaranya puram and reached the steps entrance of Chamundi hills.  on his pulsar...We both started climbing the steps...after 200 steps I started gasping for breath..was sooooooooooo tired...I was climbing hill after two years...Before I used to finish it by 25 min ..This time took 45 min...Ani climbed easily..I stopped at the rock where we can sit and view the entire mysore after 800 steps...I missed my cell now.which I had thrown off in anger...I wanted to take few pics..Ani also had not bought his cell...We went up and finished darshana and came down again...while getting down me and ani both sat on that rock and started talking about his job in toyota and about his savings etc.....advise and suggestion s went on...Ani promised me to take on the hill on my next visit at late night.....He said "Akka, stay back today tomorrow we shall go to Gopalaswamy hills "...but I had to come back and couldnt afford to lose one more days tuition..So we came back....at 9:30 down..I came back and got Into Tippu Express at 11:00 and started reading Geetanjali.....By RN Tagore..Felt very good..

"The market day is over and work is all done for the busy. Those who came to call me in vain have gone back in anger. I am only waiting for love to give myself up at last into his hands. "

When the train left at 11:00 said goodbye to mysore with heavy heart...Good BYE and miss you mysore....

Rakshabandhan....Raakhi

As you know today is Raakhi,....This is to write about my different experiences about Raakhi festival till now.

First  Raakhi festival was in 1992' . For me then dint know what 's it all about? Mom asked me to buy raakhi and tie to my bro. Mom gave me 1 rupee. I went and brougt two raakhi's of 25 paise each. I used to be big time kunjoos.. By the way I brought two cos 1 for my brother and 1 for my doggie.
 Mom saw that and she asked how much I paid it , I said 25 paise each.She asked me why. I said one for Kiran and 1 for my doggie Blacky.She scolded me telling your bro will take care of you when you are in trouble. He wil always help you and guide you should tie him.I said rather than my bro my doggie will guard me well. Its like that mom says something I never accept it without arguement..Be it about her family or anything .We will have arguements.

After that had series of people whom I tied rakhi, anil anna, babu anna, vinay , kiran , Shreyu and Rasagnya,
Shreyu and Rasagnya I never used to miss but from last 3 years I am not able to visit them . Rasagnya is now in US with his Studies and Shreyu MBBS and he comes very late and I cant go to HSR layout at that time..Aunt will ask me to stay back.



The year 2004, It was about 11 months me joining Infy..I got moved from Linksys Tech Support to Mortgage team Fairbank(SPS ).I took hell lot of raakhis that day to office..Sudeep, Bob, Rana, Chucks, Tarun, karthik,saketh,Jammy, Kashif,Vinayak and Shashi.Shashi was on leave that day. I went to each ones cubicle and tied them Rakhi..The more fuss was created by Maamu..

Top: Sudeep, Jammy Sarika, Kumu,Kashif, Bob    Sitting:Anindya Taruna myself Noby Sampu

All other girls were laughing at me.Maamu was like No other than Tanuj and Thanmay I dnt allow anyone to tie Raakhi..I was like Please bhai Please bhai...I tied him finally after two hours of pleading..Now also my team mates call me as SISTER of payoffs.. and Few say U did a mistake by tieing raakhi if not we would be married now.hehehe they are just kidding.They really dont mean it..

Other than them I had already few brothers at Infy Sajesh Chetta, Saru, Ananda, Shashikumar TR, Raman, Hariprasad.HariSubramaniam, Aman,,Hariprasad was my guide, He was always like get into network field and he advised so much...

Next year was even more brothers were added Noby Martin Sampath Kiran Manu etc etc....Richard..

All my team girls challenged me once to tie rakhi to Chucks my manager..It was friday also , walking down from casa to building number 26 I met chucks..I just said Chucks I wanna tie Rakhi...Chucks said
" le Baandh" Hehe my team girls were wonderstruck cos I did wat was challenged..We were pestering other two girls to tie raakhi.

Almost till 2006 Hari used to come near Infyr everyyear on rakhi festival and  I used to tie him..

Last year what happened was, I was ready with raakhi to tie it to my bro, but early morning he fought with me and I said "get lost " I wont tie you and I dint tie.

I bought Rakhi yesterday , but morning I was late in taking bath so bro left early. Evening when he came I was ready to tie . He freshened up and sat . I did aarthi and tilak and he immediately he took raaki in his hand and said show me "ma I will tie it your hand and you bless me..I need your protection and guard rather than you need mine." We all started laughing .....I tied him and took blessings from him.

One more thing silly but yet strictly  followed whom ever I tie Raakhi my rakhi should be first..:)

Nenapinangaladinda: St Johns me and dad

Nenapinangaladinda: St Johns me and dad: "Today morning I went to St Johns hospital to visit my friend.I hate going to hospitals and scared of injections .The word hospital itself ma..."

Relationships and pain.....

any a time I have questioned myself why do relationships hurt, be it a family , friends or love and few undefined relationships."Man is a knot into which relationships are tied"

Below mentioned lines from my diary always put ,me into deep thoughts.

"There's one sad truth in life I've found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best."


I am a carefree person who damn care if anybody left me and went and I don't  give  a sigh . I would say they lose a best person in the world(Am quite headstrong huh Dont 't mind;)) .


Yeah its true, I just think if people try ignoring me I also neglect them.But its not the same with all Why is it?
For very few people I would turn back again and say a Hi again even after they leave me.Its for my family , and a few friends.Might be couple of them, who receive my attention.I don't wanna lose them.I don't care my ego self respect for them ,Shilpa , Loch , Najju and few more...I cant just don't go away from them and if any fight happens also I know I wouldn't let them go anytime.Now I am equally disturbed ad to losing some one who really means something to me just like my other friends.Sometimes feel I am disturbing and wanna leave everything as it is , but the void space in me keeps on taunting m, Its worthy to let it go off.Is the relationships worth more or the person who is lucky that I dont wanna lose them .Its my ego which says the persons is lucky but I know myself its the relationship worthy more than anything in the world.

But why dont people understand or is that they are confused souls , or is they look for profit in all relationship or the outcomes of any relationships.Why dont they understand whats the use in telling"I am sorry " and "I love you " when the other is in Coffin or almost telling GOOD BYE from heart .."Present your family and friends with their eulogies now - they won't be able to hear how much you love them and appreciate them from inside the coffin. "

I always speak my heart away .

Be it the worst also.I Confide with few people and Confess to whom I have done wrong. But Why it happens always the things and people I love the most hate me or go away from me .I haven't hurt anyone to that extent until they have but still ...Do I deserve negligence from people whom I love the most.....Be it my family or my friends..................


I am a person with big time attitude......Headstrong Egositic....but if am wrong I accept my mistake be it worst also....

Me and PETS

Every Tuesdays when I accompany mom to Banashankari temple used to feel tired to travel in that 7 'D' bus till Banashankari temple.After that to light lamps in Rahukalam had to move in that Long queue was a night mare to me.But one relaxing idea in this whole trip was the WELL in the temple premises which had two turtles in it.Me and Bro always used to peep into the well to watch those turtles swimming.

From here my journey of getting fascinated with any animal I see started.After this my garden had earthworms, Ants very cute birds which visit my garden early morning and with those colorful butterflies.Till date I dont mind running behind those colorful butterflies to watch them but I dont catch them :) .Gypsy , Silky the huge dogs in my best friends house were my friends .After they passed away it was Ravi a white Pom which they got.I dont know why he dint like and always used to bark at me. Except him no other dog has barked at me .

July 11 th 1992 a black toddler Pom , he was just a month old came to my house.Very scared he was to see us all at a new place. I took him on my lap and started caressing him.He was my sweet sweet blacky and for my parents TIPPU. I was then in 5th Std.I loved him a lot and so my family also.My dad at first sight dint like him as he was black .But I told dad I need him.Dad agreed..the first two nights was hectic with blacky feeling insecured in dark and he wanted all of us around and he had destroyed the little home we had prepared for him.Finally I took him on my bed cuddled him beside me.He dint like it .He went to the other side of the bed and made my ankles as pillow and slept.So that became his permanent Sleeping home.

Bro trained him well and we all played with him.While playing one day on terrace with him , by mistake his teeth got into my ankles.I was scared to tell at home.So took a bit spirit and wipe on that hurt,but forgot to throw the cotton and it became the proof and was on the table.Dad came home and he saw that and asked bro and me,We both denied it. Then finally dad got angry and I sensed it and accepted it a small hurt while playing with blacky. I was scared my parents will hold blacky reason and send him away .I dint wanted that to happen. I was always an introvert and very few people know me completely and I dont trust anyone so easily.But if I trust and like someone then would be ready to do anything to them.

My Blacky was one such thing in my life whom I never wanted to lose.Dad finally agreed that he wont send him away and my injection series around my naval started and no fried items. I love Bajji that too chilli bajji is my favourite.My family prepared this and ate after I slept off. Next day when I woke up I knew they had prepared and started crying for it and I held blacky responsible for me.he with his cute grey adorable eyes was looking at me innocently when I was scolding him.I felt so bad.I took him in my lap and hugged him .

One day it was tuesday and mom as usual had been to temple and I came home at 4:30PM.I get the key from my neighbour and open the gate . Wonderstruck blacky is outside the house in the shelf that is attached to Room's Windows.He is sitting there and making wierd noises boowmmmmmmmmmmm wowmmmmmmmmm.......So helpless he was feeling as the cute little one was scared to jump down..

St Johns me and dad

Today morning I went to St Johns hospital to visit my friend.I hate going to hospitals and scared of injections .The word hospital itself makes me get on my nerves.That too St Johns I hate it. If there could be one movie, directed by me or story written by me, that would  on St Johns..I HATE ST JOHNs would be the movie name. For lots of people its the saviour, like temple...a holy place... including my dad, as he was brought back from his death BED can be said.

I have been a weak child in my childhood days till 1989 continuously admitted every year St Johns.In between during 1992 -1993 I was getting treated in St johns for my Kidney weakness problem..Some Red round tablets were suggested.I need to be careful about it but I am too careless..
I got admitted in the year again in 1998 just a month before my exams...last time I was admitted was in 2009 November during my friends marriage , after a cystometagraphy test and then  for CYSTS ( Multiple CYSTS) and other complications due to some side effects of tablets....

 As a child when I was admitted , I used walk around the corridors with my dad with the glucose needle inserted in my hand and that hand held high so tat nobody can touch that hand by mistake.Myself and dad walking along the corridors after my Lunch & dinner and sometimes to Chapel inside the hospital and to the book shop in the hospital itself to get color pencils and coloring book for my time pass and also the story books .This is where my reading habit got a start.

All the security guards had become my friends and they had given us special permission for me and dad walk around the hospital grounds and garden.Everyday it was routine that I light the candle infront of the Jesus outside the hospital. This was the beginning where I forgot the caste , Religion and creed and thought all god is one.

My dad my best friend be it for drinking coffee at Janata hotel or at the hospital Paediatric Ward.In 1989 it was me in Jan got admitted during Sankranthi festival , in october during deepawali dad for his URNEA operation and in december during christmas bro was admitted. Then I was just 7 year Old.When Bro got admitted I was JEALOUS why I am not admitted now instead of in Jan .Reason being bro got gift for christmas from Santa Claus  a Red Ball to play with it. I wished I would get a doll then . Whatever chocolates was given I had GULUMd it everyday during those 7 days..


Today's scene was, I saw a kid of 5 year  old and the dad holding the kid in his arms and the baby had glucose needle inserted in her wrist.I remembered the scene where myself and dad were walking that way and I used to be so excited with those needles inserted in my hand.
I had tears ....We all have our own negativities...So my dad also .I do fight When I see him wrong but yet..
I love you dad for being such an wonderful father and best friend..You are THEeeeee BEST FATHER.

2) Cricket match , December 27th 2006 Mysore Infy ground..

Had been playing cricket in childhood days at school and with bro and his friends ...Now after so many years had got chance playing on ground...Hmmm I 'm loving it...supporting Sapphires...as two girls mandatory to be in the match joined the team....Not that I am very good player and all ..but Love cricket..am nutty about cricket and would not hesitate going to stadium to watch match alone....am all that you say Nuts Crazy ,bindoss, dare devil.....but am a sweetheart my friends sure wil agree......

Last bit of the match , our team had finished batting opposite team was batting...last few balls to be bowled..The ball was bounce , and the batsman hit high above..Me trying to catch hold of it....Sudden CRAAASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Me and my manager(Mr PHANIRAJ)  tried catching the ball and got hit to one another..His elbow had hit my right eye.......haaaaaaaaaaaa it pained me man like helllll....All around  me and my manager feeling sorry  for what happened......finally we won the match and I was out of the match now as an audience...
I come to floor and my eye is swelling like a black ball in matter of few min ....GOD MUST HAVE BEEN DRUNKEN LIKE CRAZY ...when almighty created me , cos he made me a girl and not a single behaviour like girl...
I called my friend Naj and said what happened, he's like fully asking how am I and all the stuffs and when I said am roaming around with blotted carbon print eye....He was like some defect in me..Usually girls sit hiding their face at this situation and me roaming around...Felt Like "Million Dollar Baby" ,,,,,


    Next day when I was walking on the floor to my TL 's cubicle to back to my cubicle , I heard someone calling Ms Universe.two to four times.....Damn !!! Who cares for all the comments..To hell with the comments.. Me My work my life......Yippppeeee am strong ( very much head strong I am, aint I ? ) ......me in cubicle as usual listening to songs on my system and working on MOAI project...

     My manager DM approach my cubicle to see How I was feeling? My manager as usual very sorry for what happened?  I just smiled...

     Couldnt come home for two weeks...came the third week for sankranthi..by then it was recovered a bit and as soon as I entered home mom questioned why yyour right eye is dark ..? Are u eating well ? Are u taking care of yourself . If you cant stay alone " Quit the job, come back ".. Thats her as usual Mantra....QUIT THE JOB COME BACK.. I just said " No mom", I was travelling in that JP Nagar to infy route bus and it was over crowded and a lady's elbow hit my eye....OH GOD .....So hard she hit you ...Mom's started panickking ....That dark mark never left me ..till today its with me reminding me of that day ....Hehehehe......I love you mom...

3) Gilli Dandu ( Chinni dandu ) :

As a Kid till my 4th class had no other friends than brother..Playing with Brother and his friends,lunch with brother and his friends..So all his friends were my friends..I was in 4th std me bro and his friends were playing chinni daandu ..
Vinay was the one to hit the gilli and all of us me, bro, kiran , sathish and others to field for gilli..hit by  Vinay.

Vinay hit the gilli hard...high up it flew ..straight it flew and hit my eye as I was about to catch...Shhhhhhhhhucks....JUST MISS....CATCH and my eye both.......it hit between my nose and eye....and left a mark there..

Bro came running and scolded Vinay ....so sad..!!!....a small scar was there...Now me and bro very scared about mom...Me cos got hurt while playing with guys, which mom hates like anything...and bro scared for always taking me to play with him and his friends..

Some how didnt speak to anyone till next day...Next day heart thumping against my ribs...cos if mom would see that mark we both are dead..Quick think soon Rooopa  my mind said...Started filling ink into my fountain pen..took a drop of ink and smeared it on the scar near to my eye..
Went before for combing my hair and as she parted my hair in the mid she asked what happened and why ink got smeared..I acted as if I dint know and told am gonna wash it..

Uufffffffffffffffff !!! saved... Got ready and went to school after removing the mark..

Next day came and same issue again.. again I smeared the ink on my face and got saved..Evening as soon as I came back from school my puppy came to greet and I picked him up in my hands and e was wagging his tail and trying to lick my face..Mom scolded "let him down u get him all over ur body ".....I left him down and mom noticed that scar on my face and started usual inquiries.

Finally Mom saw it and blasted .....without an end....My world my dads hugs and laps and My mom's scoldings and my bro's pampering and fighting and doggies love.......MUAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I love my family..

My HALF TEETH...

It was in 96 just finished my aunts wedding and back in Bangalore..As usual I love kids and playing with my neighbouring kids in their new house with marble flooring....Anusha and Anoop...Very cute kids...We were playing Hide and seek and then started with running and catching in their house.Played so much , running in the house which has a quite spacious hall....Finally felt myself slipping on the marble floor...I was laughing and felt with my face down..My mouth touched the floor...Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmm..
Guess What happened next? My central Left Incisor had broken to half.. Oh God...I collected all the pieces of my Poor little incisor and threw it away..Thinking Tooth fairy wil give me back my broken tooth in few days.

I was scared what to tell at home , stopped laughing, came home silently took my book for 8th std and started studying summer holidays even before school started.Mom came home, she asked me did I feed my doggy.. I bent my head down and answered yes I did.. From then for 3 days my laughs and giggling had stopped and I spoke very little,just like answering whenever asked only...All were amazed at home thinking am not well.Dad came to me asking if I was not well needed to go  to a doctor.Mom was very happy to see me as DECENT cute with studying and helping at home.Hehehe none of them knew why I was transformed from a porkey to so called DECENT kid...

Then came the ICE BREAK Session at my house 3rd day after my tooth break, it started acheing , I went to mom called from behind..Mom asked what happened? Maa Tooth ache..Mom asked what happened , I showed her my broken tooth and said it broke..Mom started her sahasranamas for me.....Wow my ears went on banging my head...Hehheee....I just said softly it will grow soon...Whacckkkkkkkkk.....mom slapped me telling its not a broken nail or cut hair that will grow..Its gone she said.

At 6 in the eve she rushed me to a dentist, and the dentist looked at it carefully and said its dead,me sitting and playing with the instruments there,DEAD..Wow even Teeth also has life and death..Simply Great I thought.he said to replace it and for the whole treatment it would cost 1200Rs..Hmmm Mom started cursing me for putting a heavy debt on her. She said we will come back next day and I never visisted that dentist after that.After that 8 years I had not got it replaced, only after I started working got it replaced after Root Canal Treatment..

But whenever mom saw my teeth and started mourning and crying for it I used realise even Teeth also has life and death..till 2005 Jan I was known for my broken tooth..Rana Bhai always appreciated my broken teeth ,
Coolllll.................LOL ;-)
