Thankyou,Bye-bye and moving on...

Nope,I am not leaving blogging any time soon :~P lol.
Ha Ha Ha These days I am laughing at my own jokes...yes I call them jokes.


Remember? Few day ago how my mobile acted dead and created drama in my life ? (<---Click here to know more)All is well that ends well,I thought. But my mobile being the drama king*  showed its true color. :~|
Actually it showed no display and no color. Yessss it got dead finally and with it ends the saga of Nokia 3230 mobiles in the world (Guess so) :~)


Though my mobile had no second thoughts on leaving me, I still think I need to give it a proper send off and cremate it in a way every mobile phone lover would dare not forget. Following are a few not at all expensive ways I could think of...you can add on your suggestions for free, as always.


---> Freeze it.
--->Micro wave it.(with the power on..obviously)
--->Throw it from my balcony.( 3 floors on to to floor...NO! not on to somebody's head ;~))
--->Put it in hot boiling water.(hey milk has a higher B.P. isn't it?)

Some more additions: (courtesy-commentators)

--->Organ Donation- Give it to the Phone repairer & useful parts shall be recycle.

--->Give it to your favorite pet and forget the rest.

--->A long-holy bath in the washing machine.

--->Keep it safe in the drawer. (Souvenir types)

--->Let it RIP.(after all it did so much of talking & listening & multitasking)

--->Bury it.May be it will turn into 'Mobileum', a natural resource.

Or may be
I will just put it aside and keep it safe. May be someday  Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo(<--Click here) will come to me with an offer to honor those few and rare people who used their mobile for 3 long years without any up gradation or issues :~)


Bye bye to my sweet stupid phone and It did teach me a lesson.
If something isn't the way you want it then DON'T EVER COMPROMISE.
Time is too precious to sit and mend something that was never right. 
Blah blah blaaah blaaaah. I am not just talking about my mobile :~( Life is all about moving on and leaving the trash* behind. 


* Got no commitment, no understanding for my feelings, insensitive and selfish.....sure must be belonging to the HE-Gender..


P.S. Actually I started writing this post to THANK all those sweet people who are following my blog. Approx. 5 months ago I had 1(sru akka) & 2 (Tejesh) people who read or knew my blogs. It really feels good to know that  few think my blog is worth being followed.   :~) I am tremendously happy to have 23 followers.:) 


                            Thankyou so very much!


Now go and click on the comments. You sure have something to tell about what I can do to my mobile ;~) 
    
                                       ***THE END***

B'cos Moms are special!

Hello all!

Has it ever happened that you procrastinated doing something till the very last moment that it was too late to do anything? Well, it did to me the day before yesterday. But luckily I didn’t mess it up much.

I know it sounds crazy but I got so lazy these days that my procrastination has affected my little grey cells to the extent of not thinking. :~D

'Since the day I was born', it always happens that the day after my b'day is my mom's b'day. I being the gal with loads of luv for surprises am invariably expected to be one that gives surprises too. But this time as I said my laziness got over me and all I could think of at the last moment was candle lite midnight cake-the 'old age formula that still rocks'.

A movie (tickets bought with my precious pocket money-now that’s something :~ P) next day was all I could do for her. Apart from a superficial scolding for what I did to those beaker-shaped glasses all went well for the day :~)

Moms are always special and there need not be a reason to do something to make her know how special she is.

Here are few things you we can do for the angel in our lives:

--->Flowers in the vase and a card with a message.

--->Cook the lunch/dinner for her. (If you are bad at it..PLZ don't. Read the next alternative.)

--->A pleasant dinner in her favorite restaurant.

--->Buy her favorite something that she always wanted but never bought. (Think!..there gotta be something for sure.)

--->A album with her photographs since childhood. (Everybody luvs this.)

---> A short video with all those happy-family-together moments.

--->A collection of her favorite movies or songs.

--->Find the contact info of her old friend or teacher who is no more in contact, about whom she sometimes talks about.

And which way is better than a hug & telling her what she means to you?!

P.S.  The above list could be endless and if you can think of something sweet. Please post it in the comment form .

Happy Birthday Blues

Happy Birthday to me and the Birthday Blues to everyone around me! lol

I always create so much hype and publicity about my birthday that officially comes once in a year and unofficially is celebrated on 22nd of every month. Since few days, caring friends and my dear family have been perplexed deciding what shall be my perfect birthday gift! And who else do you think they are asking for suggestions??

 YES! No guessing….Me.  :~D

So here goes my wish list to help them and may be you ? :~P

àI want a Nobel Prize. (For being truthfully committed to Procrastination.)

àA trip to Antarctica.   (And the most sophisticated Camera; I will dedicate de photos to anyone who sponsors de trip.)

àA full fledged Biotech lab dedicated to me. (I may look at it, faint and never wake up again...but still...)

àA permanent tattoo of My name on everyone's right wrist. (Did I mention it must be a colored one?)

à<a href=”http://www.animenation.com/fn-04220.html”>Shin Chan's DVD in English.</a> (Not a big deal.)

àAll the literary books available in English (only) (library? Nah! This is going to be for my personal collection.)

That’s it I guess for now! I don't ask much. :~P

Fun things apart, this birthday of mine is special to me for so many reasons. A few years ago, I had this poem in school about how a man feels on turning 21 years old. (Anyone remember the name of the poem??? ) Since then I always held a very special feeling and great expectations on how I do feel when I would turn 21. But the ups and downs I have seen this year of my life though was a roller coaster ride made me stronger. Rather more ignorant to the pessimism around, I guess. 

It's the end of being 21 years old is what I celebrate today. With a spirit to cherish all my dreams no matter how unconvincing they seem to many. (“Protect your dreams”,said Will Smith in the movie ‘In Pursuit of Happyness’.)

And the Perfect Birthday gift?

<http://stuffilearnttoday.blogspot.com/> Saurabh (a fellow blogger and a dear bro), few days back wished me I do get love for my b'day this time ! Funny I thought . But a little of introspection and I realized 'love' is all that’s ever needed and I already have loads of it. 

Kind strangers (excluding those who forget to smile at me and only stare),

Supporting Friends, Caring classmates,

Genuinely affectionate far & close relatives,

Understanding cousins, sweetest grandparents,

A guiding benefactor (oye SAW listening?? Err reading??),

The most loving + understanding + friendly MOM n DAD,

A baby like Kali and a guiding-angel Akka!

I have the best of best any one could ever dream of :~) And what else would I want as a b’day gift!

Thanks for all the love and care everyone! You make feel more special then I can ever say!

                                         ****************************************** 

As I turn 22 years old, Srinivas Ramanjuan turns 122 years old. Happy birthday to us.

UPDATES-Indian Politics

I intended to put a full stop to the post Indian Politics (if you haven't read it,I suggest you to) but I guess I will keep you all updated for some more days on this issue in this post. 


[13/12/2009] Sunday- Sequel ?
137 MLA's in AP have submitted their resignation letters to the Speaker, most of them not stating the reason. The Speaker (who actually wants to resign himself but didn't) is in a fix right now. The speaker is taking legal advice on what to do about accepting or not accepting these resignations. If he accepts, the Govt in AP is gonna fall. 


RajaGopal Lagadapati, MP and a supporter of United AP, will be coming to Hyderabad on monday and start a fast (onto death?) and strikes. Rumors heard, 1)he would be bringing about 2000 paid protestors to Hyd,tomorrow.2) He is doing all this to protect his properties in Hyd.

Students and supporters of United AP (I'll say UAP next time! lol) still continue their fast, and their health isapparently degrading. After all they are not under the surveillance of 10 to 30 Specialized Doctors like KCR was.

So,I am just looking forward on  how it is going to be in Hyd tomorrow(na,not talking about the weather here). Protesters of UAP and Telangana as a State would be coming together could that result in more unrest in AP?

(Telangana probably might be declared a free state, the central govt. has the power to do that and needn't wait to take into consideration of all the MLA/MP's/people.)


[14/12/2009] Tuesday- The Drama  continues..


RajaGopal Lagadapati comes to Hyd,early morning and is arrested in the airport itself.HE is released again on promising that he is responsible for his safety.Late on he is again arrested after meeting the CM as he goes to the LB stadium[he booked it before itself-kya planning hai bhai :)] and collecting his protesters(not paid it seems).He is then sent to Vijayawada forcibly, overnight.( a place not in Telangana)


One of the students fasting since 3 days suffers with an heart attack.( :( the cameras captured him as he suffered the stroke...)The agitations continue all around AP other than the Telangana region.


[15/12/2009] Wednesday- Let the history repeat?


RajaGopal Lagadapati goes on a walk for UAP with an Indian Flag in his hand.(his supporters all of a sudden are calling him today's Gandhi) He started a fast too outside his residence. And he is telling everyone around all the history he has learnt, again and again.( yes, he is boring.)


The student who suffered Heart stroke yesterday, dies.Wonder how KCR was okay though he fasted for 10 or so days.Sucides and agitations do continue. 


The history repeats thing is proved by the police again. The police cruelly beat the students(like in Osmania University)  of SK University who were fasting for UAP.The students and police exchange rain of stones. Then the students & the staff are arrested. The police were so humiliated I guess, that they even damaged the furniture(in the canteen) and bikes in the university. And what was I thinking? police are there to protect us? Funny me.


Heard the final word on whether Telangana as a  state will be given or not will be told tonight.

Indian Politics

A Special Thanks from the bottom of my heart to 

Ravi Teja: Your valuable information, suggestions and hours of patience while kindly answering all my stupid questions were cardinal to this article.

Kali: For not complaining about the takku-takku sound as I typed all the while as she slept last night.

                          Politics-Plots,rumors and drama

********************************************************

Ever wondered Why they say Politics is dirty?

********************************************************

This post is 1,499 words long.

Politics and the ongoing issue of Separate state in Andhra Pradesh (AP) is all what everyone is talking about. Why not me? My opinion on this issue matters not. Politics isn't my cup of tea. Well even if it is...I yuck tea. But the plots and drama of Politics is so very AW-e-some, that I couldn't resist sharing this with every one of you.

So here goes the darker and mussy side of Indian Politics, Issue of separate states in AP and the perspective of a girl who still believes in the World being one big home to all the earthlets no matter what the boundaries say.

Note:The views said here are purely based on whatever I heard from sources I do trust and would dare not question. It’s up to you to believe them or not. If you find this offending or derogatory, I request you to correct me and not take this seriously.

The Crash

The representative of 77.7million (approx.) people dies in an air crash. His body is found after 24 hours.

Accident??  Or is it something else?

CM of a state travels in a plane not upto the mark, the weather forecast reports being ignored, the plane not being detected though it had a signal transmitter, and the dubious reports of the black box do suggest something more than an accident.

Who could that be? Rumors were and are it was somebody close to him. [Politics and Plots inseparable huh?!]

True so many love YSR. Why not? Most people who were genuinely poor or who either genuinely showed they were poor got scholarships, free health checkups & treatment , free education and all! It was easy money to some, it was money that truly saved some and made their lives. But the money that went into wrong hands is surmountable.

Aftermath

“I wanna be the CM”, “I deserve to be the CM”,” It’s my right to be the CM”, Yawped Jagan, YSR’s son. A few outburst from his supporters lasted for a few days.  The suspense on ‘Who is the next CM’ grew and died in a few days. Lady Luck (??) followed Rosaiah (considered a right hand to YSR) and he got the golden chance which he would have not even dared to dream.  Someday, "I will be the CM" grinned Jagan.

“Peace restored”, thought Sonia Gandhi. Manmohan Singh is the Prime Minister of Inida….just reminding.

Now or Never

KCR-The leader of TRS( a party that profoundly wants Telangana as a separate state) who fights for the cause intermittently realizes it’s time once again to raise protests for not giving Telangana as a separate state, as was promised long ago by Sonia Gandhi herself. (Remember Manmohan Singh again…he deserves to be in our thoughts.)

KCR didn’t want to lose the opportunity for the good of all People of Telangan(?) as the govt. of AP being in a recovery mode with the death of YSR was prone to get weaker and yield to their demands(?)

I will Fast onto death, he said. And after a few days of excessive publicizing he is arrested on the day he said he do start his fast. What next wondered all the people of AP. Things sure were getting interesting, thanks to the numerous (14)regional news channels that exaggerate everything they think would give them a better rating.(Come on ! Don’t ever blame them, they gotta survive the tough times too and a bit of exaggeration is okay.)

And the News spread and KCR is profoundly supported by students (not everybody-NOT ME at least) of Osmania University of Hyderabad.

The Power shift

40 hours of fast(??) and KCR breaks his fast with a glass of juice and rumors say he got rich by 500 crores of rupees that day. Few of the students he succeeded to inspire and lure with the prospective of employment, found this unacceptable. See they just caught this fantasy to agitate for a different state from him and they did not want to see him back off. Few warned him, few didn’t care but now what all mattered to them was Telangana.  

The warnings and the agitation SCARED inspired KCR to continue his fast. Heard him say he drank the juice because they gave him sedatives in his saline.(lol) Rumors heard-KCR’s Son and son-in-law forced him to continue the fast.(Plots and Politics,inseperavle.Huh)

Here shifts the power from the politicians to the students. A few suicides and agitations in new innovative forms everyday for 10 days follow. Women, Children, Lawyers and people from different backgrounds from the region of Telangana support in unison for a separate state. Unrest, confusion, closure of all colleges in Telangana regions and disturbances follow. An awkward question of Do I belong to Andhra or Telangana regions arises in the minds of people like me and many.( I am an earthlet. Love has no boundaries, I keep telling myself.)

Victory

Yup! Student power wins. Sonia Gandhi Says okay! And Chidambaram announces the approval of the govt. to divide AP late night (reminds of the way India got independence). Most or Few (I have no idea) People of Telangana are happy with the news and celebrate.

The fun Rumor here-Chidambaram (I find him cute and looks intelligent, isn’t he?) wants to divide AP so that Tamil nadu remains the largest state in Southern part of Inida.

Reactions

Normalcy is restored to Telangana[?],the strikes and riots end. Plans for a separate state take the front seat in the minds of all the supporters of Telangana.

Now shifts the strikes and riot kinda situation to all other parts of AP.

 Rayalseema and Andhra the two other major regions of AP are perplexed. Some say lets divide AP to 4 states-Telangana,Rayalaseema,North Andhra and the Coastal Andhra.

Coastal Andhra wants a United Andhra Pradesh.

Rayalaseema wants to be declared as a state too or lets all be together is what it says.

North Andhra wants to be a different state too if the partition happens.

Telangana says it wants a free state and Hyderabad belongs to it.

Many MP’s and MLA’s irrespective of the party they belong to resign disappointed with the proposed bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh to form separate Telangana state. If the Congress loses its MLAs and MPs in this way, its gonnna lose it power in AP and majority at the central level.

The central govt. is just buying some time and may not actually separate AP.( ? )

What next?

If we divide?

# A metropolis city, no matter who developed it (ppl of Andhra or Telangana) is gonna be ruined.

# The IT industry will lose any hope of development (if any) if the partition happens.

# The Coastal Andhra region will have serious setbacks, as it would not be getting Coal and water and other resources from the other regions. (May be it will turn out to be another Telangana-deprived of opportunities to develop?)

# The real estate will have a blow and the consequences are scary enough.

# The partition will only initiate and attract more partitions to happen throughout India.

# More politicians will get the opportunity to show case their dirty plots and drama as they get richer and richer.

What if we don’t divide?

# The protests for Partition would continue and may only take a grosser form.

# The Telangana region may remain as it is neglected, hopeless and lost.

Best Solution?

# More sensible Leaders who understand the problem and who not only compose the solution but also execute it.(Especially Telangana region needs one.)

# Electing the right leaders and giving the power to those unselfish people(RARE-I Know) who truly work for the people.

# To let the things calm down and think of a peaceful solution.

My Priceless thoughts

# The region of Telangana was neglected and the solution doesn’t lie in dividing and making new issues out of an old issue.

# US OF A warned its citizens not to go to AP and the Americans here to not go to places near the assembly, Parliamnet, Ameerpet, etc. (Imagine the kinda of secured feelings we are giving them.)

# Patriotic movies (though there are few) should be often aired on our regional News Channel.

# If I were a Britisher, I would have been laughing whole heartedly.

# How does a child feel when her/his parents separate? I feel the same being born in Andhra region and brought up in Telangana region.
