Vice City to Angry Birds...

There are some games which makes our mind filled with each and every level of the game. Let it be a small one or a huge one. Everyone has their own interest. And i had interest on two of the games, "Vice City" & "Angry Birds".

 Vicecity was introduced to me by my best friend during my +2 days. It was 2nd term exam time. After failing for both physics and chemistry in the 1st term exam, we both were advised by the class teacher and parents to score high for 2nd term exam for physics and chemistry. Even though physics was a little tough, we didn't loose our hope for making chemistry exam easier. Chemistry exam was on Monday. We had two days study leave for that. On Saturday, my parents were out of station. I called my friend and reported that my parents were not home. He had guests at  his home, so he jumped out off the house by telling that he couldn't get concentration and came to my home for studying. We spent 1 hour by talking about all the other matters and came back to studies with great seriousness. My friend opened his text book and started studying. I asked his notebook for me to refer. When i opened his book, I saw a disc inside his book. It was Vice City game cd. My twin too was there with us for studying. We asked my friend to install it in my computer and my twin wants him to teach the game controls etc.The game was really interesting that we couldn't study anything on that day. Next day three of us should have studied... But we said that we studied last day and enjoyed that full day with family... Next day, chemistry exam. Any doubt?? Sure.. We all failed.

 After along time, I went to my friend's home for teaching his younger brother. He showed me a new game "Angry Birds". The game which is popular through iphones. Again i went back another game. But on that day studies were not affected by the game. I was thinking those happy days of Vice City time. Even though many games came to my life between Vice city and Angry Birds, these two were really special because it was given by someone special, my friend.

Interviews i hated the most...

I had attended a lot of interviews during the hunt for jobs and still continuing. In those i had three bad experiences which i hated the most.  Let me share those experiences here.
First of all let me thank all the other interviewers for having a friendly and good smiling chat with me for a little time, even though they didn't give me a job.

 Now let me start the first experience. I went to a company referred by my dad's friend. The interviewer looked so dull and tensed with the office work that day. And he started asking me questions. I replied for some, and some i didn't. After the continuous, let me say interrogation, he said, u don't know these questions.. Why? And started telling many things.... I used to open my both ears at such incidents, so that i couldn't get hurt by his words. That too i don't remember it..  After exiting the room decently, i called my best friend and started calling bad words which was purely dedicated for the interviewer. Thank God for the control inside the room.

Secondly i went to another office. I was the only person to attend the interview there. I was sitting inside the waiting room. A man came and asked me for my bio data. I gave a copy of that to him. When i was near to him i  sensed a great smell of alcohol. When i entered the room he was the interviewer. His eyes were red and had falling eye lids. His tongue was slipping when each word was spelled. And on every question a breeze of alcohol smell combined with room freshener smell reached me. He was fully floating... Filled with alcohol. Drunken interviewer. He asked me many questions about computer science and i answered them all. After all the questions, he said that all my answers were wrong. I was damn confident with my answers because i was sure that i am right. He finally told me to study computer science a lot more. Thank God, he didn't vomit in front of me.

Third and last was with a electrical company. They had the contract of configuring routers. So i was ready to join. During interview interviewer asked me to draw the figure by giving a question. I have done it correctly.. He was happy to see that. He asked why i was having low marks in engineering when compared with sslc exam... without waiting for my reply he started. You just wasted your parent's money in 4 years. I was thinking, why he was bothered about that. My parent's love spending money for me. I was sure that he was not an engineer. Then came the next statement. You should not be given any money or food by your parents. You should earn yourself for that. I was thinking, no parents would do that. And i was ready for getting employed and that stupid was not in correct level i hope. He may have forgot for what purpose i was there for. Anyway after all he gave me his card. I looked at it and saw his qualification as B.Sc. My prediction was right. I told him that i don't need this job when he called me upon phone on the next day. Thank God i had control again.

There are more interviews to come. Both Good and bad.. Waiting continues.

Thank GOD

A reply for all... (Continuation of previous post)

The news which was telecasted by asianet news a few days after the previous post in this blog " Crores for Cricketers & Salute for Soldiers"...
In that post i have mentioned there are no public toilets in any states of India.( 5th paragraph 3rd line)
 I got both good and bad comments for this post. Here is the reply for all comments especially who supported giving crores to cricketers...
 And here it is, the result of not having a public toilet... 
Watch it.. You will be really shocked.
After watching this you think whether your taxes must be given to cricketers or must be used for public benefits.

Crores For Cricketers, Salute for Soldiers !!!

After 1983, team India won the Cricket World Cup 2011. All the team members, non players, selection committee were congratulated with raining rewards.

Since 1947 India is secured by the brave soldiers in the country who sacrifice their life for the whole nation. All the soldiers were congratulated with Indian flag covering their coffins and a last salute by great officials and good patriotic words from PM, CM & president about the dead soldiers.


Cricket players have break after each 6 balls with refreshments.
Cricket players have another income through advertisements.
If soldiers take a break, it will end with his death.


BCCI itself offered 1 crore rupees each for all team members.
State Governments of corresponding players offered another crore.


From where do these crores come from? Its all our tax. Do you pay tax to reward players??
How many states in INDIA have public toilets?? 
Prices of goods go high. 
How many government hospitals are fully functioning?
How many roads and footpaths are so good for use?


Karnataka State Government offers land for each player to build their house.
Do each and every person in Karnataka have a shelter to rest?
What about poor people? Government has to take care of them.


There are a lot of people affected by Tsunami in 2006. Are all those affected people safe now?


Cricket is a sport. Don't make cricket a ground of money flow.
How many players in the team will play for the country? And how many will play for money?
The next generation players will play aiming at these rewards rather than play for country's pride in sports.


There are many things to be done by Government. I pointed only a percentage of that.


The media should go on a big deal on this topic and bring out the facts.

Theories behind Cricket World Cup 2011, India

2011 Cricket World Cup held in India, Bangladesh & Srilanka was won by team India, The second time win under Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy fulfilling Sachin Tendulkar's dream after a long time.

After waiting 28 years India won the World Cup 2011 after 1983. There were many theories behind Indian Victory. Here are some of them.

1. Epic Theory
One of the theory was based upon an epic "Ramayana"
In Ramayana, Rama married Sita. . When Rama was spending 14 years in forest fulfilling his mother's wish Sita was kidnapped by Cruel King Raavan of Lanka. After 14 years Rama and Raavan had a great fight and Rama killed Raavan and got Sita back.

India(Rama)  Sita (World Cup)  Raavan (Srilanka)

India won World cup in 1983. Was taken by Srilanka in the year 1996. After 14 years, in 2011 India fighting with Srilanka in the final India got the cup back.


Another theory was
2. The SPIN Theory:

Spinners played an important role through out the tournament. "SPIN"
S- Srilanka
P - Pakistan
I - India
N - New Zealand

In this, Srilanka Vs New Zealand was 1st Semi Final.
India Vs Australia in 2nd semi final.

In the word SPIN , "I" is the only letter which is vowel. So I - India wins.

3. The RAJANIKANTH theory


No doubt in India's victory in World Cup 2011.
No other team is as strong as INDIA.
VirendRa Sewag
TendulkAr
YuvraJ
GautAm
S RaiNa
DhonI
Virat Kohli
HarbhAjan
Z KhaN
M PaTel
R AsHwin




4. TIE to TITLE (An experienced theory)

In a tournament, if captain Dhoni's team face a tie in any of the match. The Cup will be won by Dhoni's team.

 Dhoni as captain of team India won the 20-20 world cup. In that tournament Indai Vs Pakistan match was a tie.
As the captain of Chennai Super Kings(CSK), the IPL was won by CSK after having a tie match with Punjab kings XI.
In champions league T20 also CSK won the cup. Tournament again included a tie match.

In 2011 Cricket World Cup chasing India's total of 338, England scored 338 to make the match tie.
India won the World Cup 2011.

Superb theories, Superb World Cup 2011.
 Superb Champions Team INDIA. With Superb captain MS Dhoni.

A little time with the poor children...

Today noon I had spend around an hour with the poor children of  "SMSS HINDU MAHILA MANDIRAM (For the welfare of destitute and Orphan Girls)".  They were given a good sadhya (meals) with ada payasam. There were 6 staffs looking after these 110 children which includes 18 kids. And one head mistress who leads them. I was amazed to see many biggie cash teams like many banks and other companies as the donors of this orphanage.

    I was taken to the dining hall of those children. I wished to serve them the food. But i was taken to the room only after serving the food. But for my happiness, as i wished, God gave me a chance to serve the bananas   which was included with sadhya for ada payasam. After a minute all the children came to the room and took their places. They had a 10 seconds prayer before having their food. I was amazed to see the children praying before taking food. Most of us dont pray to God before taking food. Including me. I sat down with the children and i also had the lunch with them. It was really hot inside the dining room. I was fully sweating when i was eating. That was the only difficulty. The food was very homely. I am very happy to know that they serve good homely food. I was thinking about the difficulty of those children who takes food 3 times a day in that heat filled room. The hall has 2 fans at centre which will never breeze at the corners.

   It was a wonderful time spending with them. Their smiles after taking a good sadhya filled my heart. I enquired many things to one of the staff. I was surprised to know that those children were not given any non vegetarian items till then. When i enquired more about it, they said they were not given any non veg items. If someone from outside donate non veg items they move the non veg items completely and serve with veggies.
Most of the children now in the city wont swallow the food without non veg dishes. But the children here will do.

After all the children had taken their food they left the room. Some students were having SSLC exams. Kids were playing around there. The staffs were ready to have their lunch after children's lunch.
 I thanked every staffs for serving the food. And i also complimented about the lunch to the head mistress.

I don't know how many people will read this post in my blog. Whoever reads, have a heart to help these poor children with your small donations. You can also visit here between 8.30am - 5.30pm.

"Who said these children are orphans when there are many donors in the world. All they have to do is just Donate"

Here is the address of the orphanage

The Same Dialogue...

I am going to tell about dad. Someones dad may match with what i say.

It was an experience of mine i am going to share with you.

It was one Sunday noon. I was coming back home after my class. In front of the Secretariat (Statue, Trivandrum) the signal  was red. So i stopped my bike. I was the first person to reach the signal. As it was Sunday the road was almost empty. I looked through the right rear view mirror of my bike. I saw a transport bus jumping towards right after reaching near my stopped bike. He violated the signal just missing me and my bike. The bus was at a high speed.

I was thinking the fraction of second my life was saved. I looked whether there is any other bus. No.

 I looked at the left rear view mirror and saw a high speeding transport low floor bus jumping after reaching near to my stopped bike. Both drivers thought i would violate the signal and go. I stared at the bus driver. He told me hand signal to go violating the signal as there was no vehicles on other  side to cross the signal. After signal turned green , I went.

 After reaching home, I told this to my mom. My mom said, " Take care my son".

After that i told my dad, " Just escaped Dad", after explaining the whole thing.  Dad stared at me and said

 " Allelum ninakku ichiri speed kooduthalanu..." * and went.

See the dads reaction. I was on road without moving and it was bus driver's mistake. Still he complained me.

Next was on another day. I was riding my bike and i was hit by a fish seller. He came through wrong side and hit me. He was drunken driver. All the pedestrians gathered at the scene. They scolded the fisherman without asking anything. Thanks to those people for that. For reacting and supporting the right. Thats not the matter here. I said this incident to my mom. Mom said, " Oh God !! Save him always..". But do you know what my dad told about this ?? " Allelum ninakku ichiri speed kooduthalanu..."* :-P . The same dialogue... How did I bear it?? I don't know.

* You are usually speed in driving.

I was on the right track, slow speed. Fish seller was drunken and also came along the wrong side. But dad still complaining me.

Ok complaining is bearable. He could have used different dialogue right?? Hehe...

Is this care??? Or is dad usually like this?? Or is he so cool ??? Or is he not bothered?? :-P

Whatever it is, God saved me on both situations.

Thank God.

The Star of Hearts...

He was born in 1972. July 8. No one thought he would be a star. His elder brother introduced him to cricket. Now he is the 5th highest scorer in ODI, 5th person to score 10,000 runs in history. He is none other than the former captain of the Blue Team " Sourav Ganguly".

 I came to know about Ganguly and became a fan of him on watching the match India against Sri Lanka in 1999 World Cup. His batting thrashed Srilankan bowlers. He scored 183 runs from 154 balls. India was achieving easy victory with his help. Due to World Cup money scandals, the team was totally down. Many players were out of team. at that time Sachin Tendulkar was the captain. He resigned due to health problems. Finally the board decided to make Sourav Ganguly as the captain of team INDIA.

 There was a time when team India was beaten up by weakest teams Kenya and Bangladesh. Fans of India were really feared on seeing India's each game. There was a time when audience throw bottles on ground as protest when India was near to failure of match.
All those bad times were made history by the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly.
Indians started loving India's match after 1999. Indian team started rising to the top both on ODIs and Tests.
Many modifications were made on the team by Ganguly. The King of offsides Sourav Ganguly started losing concentration on his batting. He scored less runs. But the team India will win.
I still remember the match in which Zaheer Khan was given the last over even if he was too expensive in that match. That was his confidence with his players. That match was also won by India.
Many new and young players found seat in team India. Ashish Nehra, Zaheer Khan, Yuvraj, even the King of Captains Dhoni was also brought to the team by Ganguly. With the help of a good coach Wright, Ganguly made the team reach to 2003 WorldCup Final. But India lost the flow with Australia in the final and lost the World Cup. Usually all captains will resign from the team when the team fails in world cup or board changes the captain. But Ganguly was really appreciated by both board and the Indian cricket fans to bring India back with full recharge.
   All captains including the Worldcup 2003 champions Australia's captain Ricky Pointing feared his captaincy.
  After 2003 Worldcup, Wright resigned as coach of India and Greg Chappel was appointed as the coach. That was the fall of Indian Captain Sourav Ganguly. Problems easily spread within team. Ganguly's ability was  not at all remembered by the team mates or board. The young players whom Ganguly introduced were also against him. Finally Ganguly was out of team for his bad batting. Some of the team members complained that Ganguly was very harsh to them.
   Ganguly appeared in a few matches after a break. Fans were expecting his full return. He couldn't reach. He was avoided from Indian team. He was not ready to retire. He was having full of expectations about his return.
 He was selected to play in World Cup 2007. But he couldn't do much. His bad scores over ruled his good battings at that time.
 Finally IPL , Indian Premiere League was a chance for Ganguly. He was made the captain of his Home Team. KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS. The owner of KKR bought Ganguly, but no other strong players. Still Ganguly managed to get the good out of it. It was really challenging. Finally KKR was out of both IPLs early. The last match of KKR on both IPL witnessed Ganguly's super batting ruling the off sides.
  Finally he was out of KKR. Now in 2011, he was avoided by KKR and other teams. Finally KochiIPL team planned to get Ganguly as captain. But the opposition made by other teams made his way to the IPL closed. Still hi fans expecting him on any cricket.

 You watch India's match and enjoy their victory. The reason behind such a best team is the one and only star Sourav Ganguly. He is still the star on every cricketer's heart.
Salute to the great man from every cricketer.
Hats off...

THE ESCAPE - A Gift from God !!

This is not a story, but a real life situation in my life happened 5 years ago. ie; when i was doing my 2nd year B.Tech. I was going for maths tuition on all Saturdays and Sundays. It was series exam time. Series starts on Monday. The first exam is maths. I was attending the tuition on Sunday  with 5 of my friends of my batch. Others were studying at home. 5 boys and 1 girl was the batch.
 
 The studies were going on with heat on our heads. At that time students of other college who came for tuition there had a quarrel with one of the local person living there. These boys of other college hurt him entering his house. The tuition class was on the terrace of a rented house. Those boys were enjoying the victory over the local. At that time we heard a great sound coming towards the building. We saw a group of goons coming towards our building. There is only one way for exit. No other way because it was terrace. The goons entered the class and hurt those two boys of other college. And they also hurt one of the faculty. They entered the class and destroyed tables and chairs. We were shocked to see such incidents really for the first time. The goons were attacking all the friends of the boys. They came near us and destroyed the tables and chairs and went back. By Gods grace we escaped. After all the incident, as usual the police came. And we all went home. That shock affected our Maths exam. All our parents were afraid hearing this incident. Many stopped coming to class after that.

This was the incident happened. But today i had a talk unfortunately with one of the neighbors of that building. From his words i understood that its by Gods grace, we all escaped. He said, On that day all the local gangs were attending a marriage that no one could reach there on time. Only a few who didn't attend came to the class. If all the goons were there at the situations, we also could have got hurt very badly. That was a real luck.
  On the day of incident we thought why God is doing this to us disturbing our exam. But the truth was that, we went home early only because a small group of goons attacked. Otherwise we would have faced Medical Aids.
Really God's Grace...

Thank God
