scene7 :7th Feb...9am....all of them get ready and assemble at the ground floor ready for the breakfast..the breakfast was bad but then Mr M is a food lover and so ate whatever he got...and Mr R got delighted seeing wada being served and ate 2 of them which were fried in some cheap oil.... after having the breakfast they boarded the bus....the guide took them to another bus stand where they changed their bus.....and took a different bus to go to the mountain hill and visit the temple..not to forget that Mr R had to pay for his excessive eating habits and his stomach was upset by now and so he decided to stay on liquid diet the whole day.... both Mr R and Miss Neha were dressed up in yellow and sitting together and so Mr M got another delightful opportunity to make fun of Miss Neha and this time everyone joined in.... by this time Miss Neha had got used to Mr M's jokes and she got along with them well...lots of the pictures were clicked till the bus reached the hill top…..the scenery was amazing…..Miss Neha has been brought up in the LAND OF DAWN LIT MOUNTAINS “ARUNACHAL PRADESH” and so she was enjoying the scenic beauty…and the height too and even the rest enjoyed except Mr R who was feeling giddy….now why was he feeling so is not clear…due to over eating or due to the height…….heheh

scene8:7th feb:10am.....the bus reached the hill top and Mr R ran to find a place for himself to freshen up...then drank 2 bottles of sprite to keep himself cool…..something was really wrong with his stomach…and it had to be afterall he ate so much…..while Mr R was busy drinkin cold drink what were others doing? Miss H and Mr M were busy searching a place to sit fot sometime…they found a place for themselves and happily sat there…what next….to their amazement a grape seller walked up to them and asked to move away from that place and said it is his place and he sells grapes there…hahaha……...then what next …the whole group deposited all the electronic items that they were carrying along with them in a shop the guide had shown..As carrying electronic items was not allowed in the temple…and so all the mobile phones..camera etc had to be deposited before they entered the temple…. The guide was continuously emphasising on the point that if everybody visits the temple soon and gets back to the bus fast and there is sufficient time left he would take all of them to another nearby temple….Mr V led all seven of them…he is really good at it you see…..



Scene 5:6th Feb 09...10 pm... everyone boarded the bus...since there where 4 gals and 3 guys and Mr V and Miss Va had already planned to sit together and so three girls Miss Neha , Miss H, Miss Me were left...and then Miss H and Miss Me choose to sit together and so Miss Neha had to sit with either Mr.R or Mr.M...she was keen about sitting with Mr.R as he had got a sheet along with him and so she thought probably at night if she feels cold she can borrow it from him..and same was the reason with Mr.M..Mr.M also wanted to sit with Mr.R fpr the same reason.. but then Miss.neha being a gal got an advantage as none in the group wanted Miss Neha to sit with some one else out of the group as it was an over night journey....u see being a girl is a boon at times.......... Mr r managed taking out the sheet from his bag...and after which what happened was just a shock to all of them.. The sheet was stinking badly and everybody was just closing their nose and trying not to smell it while Mr R was busy making everyone smell it... he was amused with his own idea of carrying a stinking sheet so that none uses it other than him and so at night if someone wants also none would like to use that stinking sheet and he can sleep happily...and was feeling proud about it...... and when Miss Neha took out perfume from her purse and sprayed it....Mr R complained where is this smell coming from rather than quoting the word fragrance....sometimes Mr R gives statements that you wouldn't have even thought of.....well the journey starts and all 7 of them get busy in clicking photographs..Miss Me is so tired after the roaming in the city whoel day that she fell asleep within 15mins of boarding the bus....and Mr R also manages falling asleep with his sheet after a while.....Miss H, Mr M, Miss Neha don't have sleep in their eyes...and the whole gang is clueless about Miss Va and Mr.V .....

Scene 6:-7th Feb....3.30am....the bus reached Tirupati...and all of them stood in the long long queue to get the ticket to get an entry to the temple....while every one was busy chit chatting and tired of standing in the queue Mr R was busy finding an oppurtunity for himself to go get out the place and eat something...he was hungry again and it was just 3.30 am...by the way when Mr R was busy thinking about food..what was the rest of the group busy in...Miss Me was busy on phone.... Miss H. Mr Va ,Mr V and Mr M were standing and laughing as Mr M asusual had chosen Miss Neha as his soft target and was busy making fun of her.......Miss Neha was getting irritated to the core but then she couldn't help it... her major supporter paps was missing and she thought that it's better to keep quiet at this point of time and not to show her anger and spoil the trip.....by the way for readers who don't know much bout Miss Neha she is a very short tempered girl...well at 4 in the morning...Mr R decided to ask everyone that is some one interested to eat sumthing...

Mr R was sure that none would say yes because it was 4 in the morning and none had brushed and so no1 would prefer eating something and drinking tea.and so when everyone said no...Mr R happily started moving towards the little shops that were open....Miss Neha wanted to escape Mr M's pestering and so choose to accompany Mr R till the tea shop....Miss Me also joined them...All three manage getting a Rajasthani tea shop and Mr R and Miss Me happily drank tea...while Mr R drank three cups of tea he was still feeling that something's missing and that was a packet of biscuit or something to eat....he tried his level best to figure out a shop where he could get something to eat but nothing was available...half heartedly Mr R returned along with Miss Me and Miss Neha.... and then the rest of them went to have tea.. after everyone assembled back again at the same place and joined the queue...Mr M started his normal work of irritatin Miss Neha....it was getting on her nerves now and she shouted on Mr M and said it's enough and moved out...But Mr V was corteous enough and so was Mr R to get her back and cheer her up by clickin her pics....and she was back to normal.....it was around 5 am and Mr R felt hungry again and so he left the group in serach of food...Mr R came back at 6...and got fresh hot idlis with him.....Miss Neha couldn control herelf anymore...she had thought that she wouldnt eat anything before visiting the temple but then those tempting idlis couldn be resisted....they got the tickets at 6.30 am in the morning and then again again moved towards the rajasthani tea shop....had tea and biscuits and boarded the bus to go which now took them to a hotel where they could freshen up themselves and get ready for the Darshan.



Scene3:6th Feb 09......7.45pm..neha meets all her friends who would be going with her to Tirupati...they are 7 in total including neha.. the boys( M,R,V) the girls (neha, Va, H, Me) so they are 7 in total... Neha is completely excited about the whole plan because this would be the 1st time...Neha would be going out with friends for such a trip.......they all wait for the bus at the bus stand....... The 1st shock comes to their way when the bus that is supposed to take them to the city bus stand turns out to be more or less like a local bus and all of them have to stand for almost an hour and travel....

Scene 4:6th Feb 09....9pm.....after one hour of journey of standing in the bus all of them reach the major bus stand from where the actual for Tirupati had to leave. All 7 of them had booked their tickets under a tour package which started from Bangalore and which would take up the responsibility of taking them to Tirupati and getting them back safely back to Bangalore in 24hrs after the Darshan of the lord... It was 9 pm at night and everyone was very hungry.. Especially Mr R... he was too curious about whether the whole group is going to eat something or not... It seemed that more than going to Tiruapti Mr R was interested in food.....i think if given a choice Mr R would have chosen to eat then boarding the bus to Tirupati.... and so because of Mr R's regular initiative and clashes of thoughts with Mr V and Mr M....he managed taking everybody to a near by restaurant and having food...and was the 1st one to empty his plate and rush towards the bus to check the seats and keep it wait in case others take little more time to eat...while everyone was hurrying up running to bard the bus..miss neha was busy standing at a pan shop and getting a mitha pan made for her own self.....heights of irresponsibility....sometimes she is too much...





Scene 1- 6th feb 09...10 a.m ..... neha tensed thinking whether she would be able to go with her friends to visit lord Balaji's temple at Tirupati.....it's been 5 years she has been planning to visit the temple but whenever she planned it never became successful and so the same thought was lingering in her mind again and again that would she be able to make it this time... will she be able to visit Tirupati because she had her interview the same day and if things didn go the way they were planned and if the interview gets re-scheduled to the next day she wouldn't be able to go to Tirupati and the history would repeat itself again....

Scene2:-6th Feb09 ....10.30 am. neha, P, and DK go to J's room and ask her about the interview....since J is the one who is a part of all the placement activites...but J has no clue bout the timings of the interview. now Neha goes to H' room to tell her that she is not sure about her trip. as soon as she reaches H' s room she gets a call from J that the interview would be at 2pm...neha becomes happy with the news because now things would go the way they were planned....

did neha make it?? watch this space



well the first night out that i took with my college friends was on 31st Jan 2009 for the IIM-B fest.
KK ( Singer) had come there for live performance and all of us were very excited bout it. IIM-B is known for it's big budget fest. last time Strings had come for the live performance.

well we all got ready and left our college and travelled some 45 kms distance in the local bus just to watch the show. the queue was long when we reached and people were pushing each other to enter inside the ground where the live performance was taking place. being a girl is an advantage at times you know because then you get an extra preference in the crowd and during the entry too saying "Girls First".

The crowd was huge and we somehow managed pushing the crowd and making way for ourselves in the 4th-5th row.. but because of my short height i couldn't see anything. and my friends were trying hard to make way for ourselves to the front row.. but then the crowd was so generous that it itself pushed us to the second row ehhhee.... :) .... still it was a problem for me to see KK but it was better then what it was earlier... we danced and sang on the songs that he sang..what a display of energy man....

the show got over in some two hours and then we had whole night left with us. we then went to the college ground...sat there and played dumb sharads...oh my god it was so much of fun... and then after that searched for food...

DJ war started at 2.30 am at night..initially it was boring and we didn't join the crowd...but later it played good songs and all of us joined in..we danced danced and danced...and then at 4am in the morning when the DJ war got over we sat down all exhausted...then a sip of tea in chilled 18 degree climate helped us.... we waited till 5.30am in the morning till the buses start moving so that we could move back to our college campus..i came with one of my friends on his bike and was chilled to bones...imagine how we reached back to campus in half an hour and i rushed back to my room.....

all over it was a happy happy night out with friends.... :)


this year has had a great start for me in case of friends. i met two of my childhood friends. One of them has become a renowned doctor and the other is studying engineering . it feels so good when you meet a friend after ages. it brings back all those childhood memories in front of your eyes.....

thanks to orkut that i found one of my friend's after 8years..he was with me till the 4th standard and then i changed the school.still we were tuition mates. but then my dad got transferred and i had to shift from the place and then we lost contact with each other.... i continued hearing stories about him later also through our mutual friends..he was one guy whom we never thought would become a doctor..he had all the habits then ..but with the passage of time he's changed a lot..he is not the same anymore...and has become much more responsible .... both of us had long long hours of chat over the phone..it felt so good..we spoke of everything. like what we did in all these 8 years..what had we gone through..what life has taught us. it reminded us of the old school days..when i used to wear long skirts to school and when he used to eat up my tiffin box and i used to cry for it....emmm it was so good to remember all those golden days.. i wish there was a time machine and i could go back to those old days and become tension free... roam around..play in the mud...

it was such a great feeling that i am falling short of words to explain it..life is just so beautiful....expect the unexpected....i had never expected that orkut would help me to come in touch with such and old friend...

the other friend of mine who is doing engineering was also my schoolmate till 10th standard.. we both planned up to meet and so we met. it was a great feeling to meet him after 8 years. we spoke about the classes..those scoldings from teachers..those competitions and functions in school. we called up our then school principal. he was our inspiration. it was so nice speaking to him....

it feels so nice to meet old friend's .it refreshes all the age old memories.......






Emmm it’s been 6years now that i am away from home and with the passage of time i have just become so used to staying outside. i go home once in an year.the reason being either i have lesser no. of holidays or there's no direct flight to ma place and by train it takes some 4-5 days.

initially when i left home and came out for studies i used to terribly miss home but gradually i just got so used to staying in the hostel that during vacations when i used to go home i used to count days that when I am going to be back to hostel. For the first 2-3 days when u reach home, u feel really great as you are given the VIP treatment. Everything you desire to eat is cooked, whatever you want to do you can do freely but after 2-3 days it becomes scary. Your bad habits are just not accepted and that VIP treatment vanishes and you start counting the days when you can get back to your normal life of getting up late, watching movies late night. and the list goes on.

well the cycle continues.u come back to hostel and then hostel appears sickening.you feel like going back home.u miss the home made food, the care, those scolding’s. in short everything.

Emmm but miss home the most when you are not keeping well. Well i don't deny the fact that friends do not care. in fact they take care of you in the best possible manner but then u still miss home.miss mom.the motherly touch that you used 2 get when u used to fall ill.the care.the concern.say u need water and it will be in your hands.you wake up at night and make a sound and mom and dad would come running to you asking if u are fine and need anything.

when the mess food is bad you miss home.you want to go back home and eat good food. when you want to shop and your pocket money gets over you wish you were at home and ask mom and dad to get it for you.

so materialistic though.but then u really miss home at times.
