Aashiqui

ab tere bin jee lengey hum,
zeher zindagi ka pee lengey hum,
kya hua, jo ek dil toot gaya!
tho kya hua, jo ek dil toot gaya!!


sansoon ki zaroorat hai jaise,
sansoon ki zaroorat hai jaise
zindagi ke liye .. bus ek sanam chahiye ..
aashiqui ke liye ...!
haan ek sanam chahiye ..
aashiqui ke liye..!!

Life tilts between these 2 lyrics .....!

Both are good, one breaks other makes,

Which one are you singing now ?

Marriage .. !

I am desperate to understand what does it take for a marriage ? Dad wants me to marry a girl whose family matches with our family in all respects! Mom wants me to marry a girl whose horoscope matches .. Sis wants me to compromise on few things .. if i have to get married .. Every one have one thing in common .. marry only a girl of our caste - our language - our culture - Brahmin - Telugu .. !!

What I want .. ??? The only thing that I know before I see a girl is her education / is she working or not .. sometimes I get a chance to see the photo as well :)

According to popular public opinion - family + friends + relatives + needless idiots .. i reject all the girls on looks .. and only looks matter for me .. Cmon ... thats not true ..  I liked many girls .. but till date all the girls whom I liked in terms of profile + looks .. their horoscope doesnt match with mine .. is it my mistake ? am i responsible for this ? How can i blindly marry a girl whose horoscope matches with mine if I cant be comfortable with her in the first place ??

What I want in my girl ..
Should have work experience - so that she knows what it takes when a person comes from work
Non IT - I am already dying in this mad mad IT world, I dont want my life partner to go through the same motions .. and we dont need to waste our time everyday talking about IT bull shit ..
Traditional yet modern outlook - I know most of the women today have a modern outlook .. I want one with such outlook, yet in front of the family she should be traditional .. !!

Rest all the things follows .. caring / luving / etc etc ...

I want to marry not just for the sake of marriage .. I really want to have my life full filled by a missing partner :( .. I know there are  some likes, some dis-likes, few changes, few sacrifices needed ..but what I want is  to be with her to think about her to do something that cheers her to care for her I dont know if this list ends but above all to Luv her and to be Luved by her!

Time flies .. Age catches!

Caste system in India takes a real toll on the youth .. i know there is an answer for this .. who cares for caste .. religion .. I have to bcoz i cant go against my parent wishes! They are in no mood to think about a girl as their daugther-in-law from another caste! OK FINE .. I am not going against ur wishes .. but plz let me choose my girl .. !

Some times I get losts in the wish lift of the girls .. they want US settled person .. some want only India settled person .. some want IIT/IIM .. some want only 20 Lakh and above .. who knows if you are married today to a person settled in US .. What guarantee can you give that he is not kicked out from US ?

20 Lakhs package today .. can you guarantee a Job today ? world is quickly changing .. you really donno when you will be given pink slip! IIT/IIM's .. huh ??? do you think ppl not here r just dumbs or lazy fellows ? or only an IITian or IIM knows how to care or Luv .. No dis-respect for IITians or IIM's .. they are brilliant minds .. no doubt .. but rest are not idiots!

I found a profile who has all the wishes I wanted in a girl .. she and her parents also liked my profile .. I was so eager to take this to next level .. Sis say horoscopes doesnt match ...!!

I am devastated .. again .. !

I am Legend

Vish / Suman and I went to restaurant for having dinner .. this is the first time Vish has met us after his marriage… seems happy J

As you know when Suman is present I and Vish have to be quite .. (and offcourse not argue) …this applies to whom so ever reading this.. I hope you all agree with me..

Suman started the conversation and said today I and Madi.. went to AXIS bank… the relation ship officer issued us a loose cheque for 2 lakhs!!! When we asked for 2 thousand !!! these bankers don’t do their job seriously … I asked for 2k he gave me 2 lakhs.. only “I” will be able to save these banks ..this is the reason why our banking sector is not doing good.. we shud cut salary for such employees ….banks need me …… etc……etc………etc………….

“Vish” was surprised.. his face tells the story.. how is this possible .. something shud have happened .. it cant be like the way he explained …..and yes that is not the way things went on in the bank.. luckily I was also there in the bank.. J J J

What happened???

It was Saturday and I called up Suman to tell him that I am coming down to his office and we can go to bank from there…Since it was Saturday I knew banks close around 1 or 2 ish…. I went to his office (not Maytas office) and both of them started walking down to branch…I didn’t carry the cash hoping to find an ICICI or HDFC ATM, to my bad luck there was no ATM around… Suman said that he can take out money from the AXIS bank ATM for me ….. 2 ATM both are not operating L

Security guard told us to check the ATM at the first floor … even that is out of cash L

Now Suman has woken up….he said let me take control….i will take this up with the bank … he went to personal officer and said all ATM’s are out of cash and I need money… so the officer told to walk to another counter and meet some other person…who will issue a loose cheque to encash……………………………………………..

We went there and told him that we want loose cheque, so he gave us a form and asked the servant to get a Xerox of Suman’s ID card…I started filling up the form.. now for our valuable resource Suman time is getting wasted while I am filling the form.. So he decided to ask some questions…

Suman: Mr. X tell me something… what if I want to change my salary a/c to a normal saving a/c
Mr. X: Sir, its simple use the same form and place a request
Suman: ok, so since its going to be normal saving a/c do I need to maintain any balance
Mr. X: Yes Sir, you have to maintain 5000/- minimum balance
Suman: No ..suppose I have 2 lakhs (remember this amount) in my a/c I take out 1.5 lakh and again I take out 48 K
Suman: again immediately I add 10k .. will this be considered as maintaining minimum balance?
Mr. X: (with a question mark on his face) Sir, you have to maintain an average balance of 5000/- otherwise you will have to pay the fine
Suman: ok, if I have 10,000 in my a/c and take out 8,000 and add 4,000 in the same day… will it be fine?
Mr. X: (going mad now) Sir, at any point of time, you have to maintain a minimum balance of 5000/-

Well, I can understand Mr. X position…so I was quickly filling up the form…..while Mr. X. was FACING Suman, he started filling the cheque and by the time I completed filling up the form he also seemed to be finish with his cheque…

From a little distance I can see there are only 2 words written at the line Pay……………… I thought there should be at least 3 words.. so once he gave the cheque to Suman we went to stand in the line…and I took cheque from Suman … to my utter horror ….i couldn’t believe what amount he has written in the cheque..instead of writing “Two Thousand Only” he has written “Two Lakhs”

Well..after working for so many years for the bank he has even forgotten to write “Only” after “Two Lakhs” …. And needless to say why he has written ..”Two Lakhs” instead of “Two Thousand” …just remember I told you to remember something when Mr X is FACING Suman

We went back to show him the cheque and he was stunned to see what he has written…he was not able to figure out what he did… Only I know he was in the vicious circle of Morpheus …ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Well even though we cannot accept we are forced to accept every time that this guy is a legend in his own way … I am sure Mr X took leave for a week !!!!

While all this happened it seems Suman felt that there is nothing wrong he did…very strange … J J J

All for the bread

Hello all .. hope everyone is doing good .. as always its a good feeling for me to think about the old days and write and write .. so here I am back again ..
i really wonder sometime how the things get messed up when you want to hav a good time .. when I say messed up .. then you should guess who is the centre of repulsion .. no prizes for the guessing .. its so called ........

"..i am here .. i am there .. i am in air .. i am everywhere .. who am i .. i am Morpheus"

yep..its just for bread we got into an all messed up adventourous day ....
its one real hot day when we guys (me, ravi, vish, baba, suman!!!!) decided to go out for a short drive .. and hav the lunch out side ... well our leader morpheus gave us an idea that we can go out for a short drive towards medchal and hav lunch there ..

So on that fateful day around 10.30 AM i suppose .. we set out trusting morpheus .. we took 3 bikes .. baba was driving my bike .. ravi was driving on his bike alone and doing all the funny adventures .. and our leader morpheus was with vish ....

we started our journey towards secunderabad .. and were driving slowly .. after almost around an hour and half .. we stopped at a petrol bunk .. baba is already hungry at this time .. just waiting for his hands on beer and chicken ..

so getting frustrated he shouted on morpheus .. how much more time .. for which morpheus said very calmly .. few more kilometers ..

so the journey went on .. within few minutes I realised that we have almost reached medchal .. yes infact we are at 'Runway 9' now .. on national highway 7 .... everyone can see many dabhas around .. but somehow morpheus don't agree .. according to him there are few more exciting places with in few kilometers .. so the journey continues ..

suddenly i see milestone on the back of which its written "Hyderabad 20 KM"
so I started realising that we are going out of the city limits .. while every one is getting frustrated out of hungry only one person in enjoying the ride .. needless to say who it is ...

still journey is going on .. after some more time .. everyone became united and thought of putting an end to this endless journey .. so everyone demanded suman to show the dhabas .. as usual .. around here only you will find good, hygeinic places .. by this time baba is dancing out with anger ...

aah finally we can see a dhaba .. but wait no one seemed to visit this place for few years now .. and acc to morpheus this is the place to eat .. hmmm ..

we went a few yards more .. and the same story repeats.. infact these places are so sucking .. that everyone wanted to kill morpheus .. after some time ..vish shouted oreyyyyyyyyyy ....... what happened ? everyone asked him ..

there is a mile stone on which its writtem as 'Suryapeta XX KM'..

now i realised that we are not even out of city limits but out of the district as well .. may be a few yards and we can see a toll gate ...

thats it .. we decided we cannot take this any more .. its damn hot .. no food from the morning ... without even asking suman .. we started driving back ..

after 1 hour around 2.30 - 3 we reached a bhaba in medchal ..

so after 4 hours we found out a bhaba .. thats some adventour on a hot sunny day ... jannu is so proud of this adventour .. while everyone is frustrated and angry he seems to be njoying the day .. acc. to him this is how we need to explore and find out places to fill the stomach .. (leaving all those luxurious places in the city .. and setting out to find out something in a place where humans dont come often)

hmmm....anyways ..i thought thats the end of it for the day ..

but the adventour continued .. after around two hours .. we are almost finished with our lunch .. time to pay the bill .. we already paid 1000bugs .. and we were left with 300 more to pay ..

But one person doesn't think this way .. acc to him dhaba guys are foolong us .. they are stealing our money .. acc to him they need to pay us 300/- ...
i tried explaining .. then i realised its of no use .. he is totally drunk .. guess who? .. thats our baba .. finally we got him out of dhaba saying that we will collect the money .. we got him onto the road .. and waited there for one more hour .. so that he can come back to the real morpheus world .. time is now almost 5.30 PM...

around 6 PM we started our journey back .. and around 7.30 .. 8 I am finally back at my place .. why did i go out in the first place .. just to have some bread .. and morpheus helped us understand .. wat it meant to eat a hard earned bread .. thats some adventourous tough day in my life..

Dongodu (The Girl next door)

(as narrated by Mukund)
This is an incident/ series of repeated incident I should say that happened way back when we were in Intermediate ... inter days as I remember are the most fruitful days of our career .. there was lots n lots of healthy competition going on for the EAMCET .. and also everyone used to meet around every weekend to play cricket .. ahh i really miss those days ..

anyways ... as usual we are done with another stressful / buzy days .. laddu is returning home with vishnu on his cycle .. on my way back I stopped at kiran's house .. waiting for laddu n vish ..there they come .. laddu holding his hand .. and shouting and cursing vish.. in pain .. needless to say .. again vish did an accident .. laddu ended with the pain again .. it has become a daily ritual for them ..

kiran has got water for them .. and laddu started shouting "lets go its very late"
vish.. said wait for some time, even i have falled down .. laddu said .. "i dont care .. we have to go rite now, there is no time"

no one couldn't understand why he was in so rush .. when we asked him .. we got the usual reply .. "i have some work" .. laddu is popular with the name "dongodu" at that time bcoz he keeps hiding things .. so we thought he just wants to go back and start reading again .. this started happening every day ..

so finally we asked laddu one daya ..wats so urgent for you ? can't you wait for 5 mins .. out of frustration laddu said he has to go to temple.. and its already 8 .. so finally we got the answer and a surprising one .. laddu is going to temple every day .. ahh .. everyone though in their mind .. EAMCET time .. see how devoted he is .. very hardworking / committed / devoted.. wow thats laddu for you ..

this is what i used to think about him till the time i got that call from Muks ..

shucks how big a fool i have become .. remember as I said laddu has one more name "dongodu" .. what acctually happened is .. yes laddu used to go to temple everyday with Muks / Suman but not with the intention of doing prayer ..
but to see the girl opp. to Suman's house !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

everyday she comes to temple at 8 .. and these guys to make friendship (i dont think so, may be with some other intention) with her .. they were also punctual to the temple .. after listening this from Muks .. my mind bombarded like a squash ball ....

Dear god! please read this story .. those guys are not there in the temple to please you, but for some other intentions !!!

F Tv (duppatlo tha-da tha-da)

Title should strike about whom this is, if not then its about our Bangaram "Ravi"

Those were the days when indian govt was bit lenient on TV channels, & that is the time when Ravi also started to gain the knowledge of the world around ..

I think it was on a holdiay or probably Sat or Sun afternoon, Ravi switched on the TV channel, on one channel there was cricket, on another its Pawan Kalyans movie, but Ravi is least interested in these channels .. he is looking for F Tv ..

"ahhh finally found the F Tv channel .. but there is no clarity in the channel .. shucks I get only one jolly day for the entire week .. annagadu kuda ledu .. & then there is no clarity .. cable L!@#$%^&* balisindi .. I should take maximum advtg .. let me apply my brain & tune the channel .. "

With little knowledge how to tune the TV, Ravi makes an attempt .. Wow !!! (Channel has not become clear. its the topless lady in the channel that made him open his mouth)
With great tension ravi attempted to tune the channel, & he felt inside .. let it be like this .. i only need to look at the pics in the TV & not the entire screen ..

So quickly Ravi got a pillow & bed sheet - covered himself with the bed sheet .. & started ..........

Everything is going good except that he has forgotten to lock the door ...

To his utter bad luck Cnu & Ranjith came at the same time .. they have seen the door open & just walked inside .. (to describe ravi's home - first room is the guest room, second is the bed room, third room is kitchen )

Both of them entered the bed room, & they see Ravi enjoying the TV (F Tv) show .. but wait why is that moment of the body ?

Ranjith shouted .. oreyyyyyyyyyy ...... ( Ravi came back into our world )

Cnu started laughing loudly & asked

Cnu : Ravi what were you doing ?
Ravi : I am sleeping ..
Cnu : you are sleeping with TV swithced on ..
Ravi : i didnt know when i got into sleep .. i was watching E TV
Cnu : E Tv ha ha ha ha haa its F Tv
Ravi : F Tv .. we dont get F Tv ..
Cnu : cha!! I have to tell this to our entire gang .. else i wll die .. laughing &
laughing..

Even today ravi stands on his words .. but we have to decide what he was doing ..

Well its afternoon time.. no one at home .. F Tv .. that movement of body..
what else must be Ravi doing ?

You only guess

Pen Fight

Yep its about kiran - I just want to take everybody back to our school time again..how kiran was at the school time & how time has changed him..

People used to call him pinasoda (dont remember the english word for this rite now)

I think it was 4th class..new game has become very popular in the school.. comes interval or lunch time or even in the middle of class some times.. people start playing this game..Its introduced by our dear Cnu .. no guesses for prizes ..its the Pen Fight .. but howz that related to kirrrrrrr .. before going into that let me just remind the rules of the game for those who dont know about it .. any number of ppl can participate in the game .. as such there are no teams .. individual player is a team himself .. every one has to keep on the desk & one person starts the game by trying to hit other players pen with his pen.. next second person hits his pen in the same fashion & if a pen falls down that person is knocked out of the game..quite an exciting game at that age..

Now fortunately even kiran started liking that game & he also started participating the game..but just one kick is enough to throw his pen out of the desk..this is bcoz he used to use the pens which are so lite in weight (these pens used to come very cheaply ..i think around 50pc each) & some times pencils also which are even difficult to hold & rite ( such a small pencils, only kiran used to use in the entire school :) .. Ppl used to throw away pencils when they can no more hold it to rite .. but for kiran they can be still used for more than 1 week !!!!

Anyways back to game..day after day kiran started loosing all the games .. even before he gets chance to hit his pencil, he is already knocked out of the game .. dejected again n agin by loosing daily.. *

One fine morning kiran came smiling & he also came with a pen this time .. (Cnu & I ignored .. its no better than a pencil)

game started.. kirans pen in the extreme left .. cnu's in the middle & mine to extreme right .. we thought of knocking him down first.. i hav just given a small jerk to my pen .. & then cnu his pen hard towards kirans pen..but i just got stunned.. kirans pen didnt move not even a single inch !!! shucks wats happening ? is it the same 50pc pen .. looks like same ..it even didnt hav a refill inside it .. then why the hell it didnt moved ? hmmmm.... next is kirans chance he hitted his pen towards cnus pen & it went flying away out of our site.. wow for the first time .. kirans pen is still in the playground after 2 shots..& the big things is for the first time he has knocked out some body in the game..

Next my turn came..Cnu still shell shocked not realising what happened .. i didnt know whether to attack or not..i though just to stay in the game & hope a miracle happen .. i gave one more jerk..now kirans turn..he is dashing towards my pen..& with 2 blows even my pen has flied out of the desk..kiran is the Champion.. but wait what happened ? we will play one more game & kiran nodded happily..needless to say again we lost :(

same thing continued in the short-interval & lunch again n again v lost & kiran cannot hide his smile.. finally cnu thougt of looking at kirans pen..kirr resisted, but cnu took his pen & opened the pen..what this ? there is no pen instead sand is coming out of the pen..hmmm so thats the mystery..

what happened ?

dejected again n agin by loosing daily.. kiran started thinking how he can win without buying a new pen which is bit heavier.. he looked at his 50pc pen.. got angry but he cannot throw it.. what to do .. Wow lightning striked & a brilliant idea came into his mind.. he remove the refill & filled up the pen with sand.. now pen has become heavier.. & smile is back on kirans face.. rest .. we hav already seen what happened :)

pinasodu .. kullu ideas baga vasatyi ..


I will be back with more strange things kiran did ..very soon..
