Keep It Simple!

This happened like a week before. 

Chutneys.. no sleep even at 6 in the morning, started a yahoo conversation with Ranj, decided we'll go eat breakfast at Lingampally or some place, finally decided on Chutneys, went there and had the best breakfast of my life.. thats the gist.. finer details later. … lots to write about the food we ate !! 

It was a sports stadium. Eight Children were standing on the track to participate in the running event.

* Ready! * Steady!!
* Bang!!!
With the sound of Toy pistol, all eight girls started running. Hardly have they covered ten to fifteen steps, one of the smaller girls slipped and fell down, due to bruises and pain she started crying.

When the other seven girls heard her, they stopped running, stood for a while and turned back, they all ran back to the place where the girl fell down. One among them bent, picked and kissed the girl gently and enquired 'has the pain reduced'. All seven girls lifted the fallen girl, pacified her, two of them held the girl firmly and they all seven joined hands together and walked together and reached the winning post.

Officials were shocked.

Clapping of thousands of spectators filled the stadium. Many eyes were filled with tears and perhaps it had reached GOD too!

YES. This happened in Hyderabad [INDIA], recently! The sport was conducted by National Institute of Mental Health. All these special girls had come to participate in this event and they are spastic children.

Yes, they were mentally retarded. What did they teach this world? Teamwork ? Humanity ? Equality among all ????? Successful people help others who are slow in learning so that they are not felt far behind.

This is a mail that I have recieved just now and it kinda sounded good to me. So, just blogging it. So whats up with me ante, I replied to Hai Tao, now keeping my fingers crossed. I just hope I'll be able to California, I've lots to prove.. lots. anyways love u.. miss u tats .. gnsd

P.S : Spoo got an awesome hair-cut.. shes really looking so cutteee.. just go have a look at her. 

Lifted straight from my friend's site !!  

Meaning

Meaning is not something you stumble across, like the answer to a riddle or the prize in a treasure hunt. Meaning is something you build into your life. You build it out of your own past, out of your affections and loyalties, out of the experience of humankind as it is passed on to you, out of your own talent and understanding, out of things you believe in, out of the things and people you love, out of values for which you are willing to sacrifice something. The ingredients are there. You are the only one who can put them together into that pattern that will be your life. Let it be a life that has dignity and meaning for you. If it does, then the particular balance of success or failure is of less amount.
-John Gardner

Sacha Pyar

Kuch cheezein zindagi mein aisi hoti hain ki hum chahkar bhi unse peecha nahin chuda paate. Iska kaaran hota hai PYAAR. Aankhein Aasuon ke bina sookh jati hain, Dard seh-seh kar dard ka dard bhi kam ho jata hai, Ummeed bhi saath chod deti hai lekin pyaar, pyaar to dil mein ghar banaakar baith jata hai. Waqt ke saath saath sab kuch badal jata hai lekin dil ka woh kona, woh kinara kabhi khali nahin hota. Yeh Sache pyaar ki nishani hai.

Hi, Sumanth,
Thanks for your interest. Yes, if you are interested in working in the areas of computer vision and pattern recognition, I will be glad to supervise your study and research.

Dear Prof. Hai Tao,

I have been admitted into the Engineering Graduate Program at UC Santa Cruz. In the previous communications, you had mentioned that it would be unlikely that you would be taking graduate students this year. I am very much interested to do my MS/R under your supervision. I wanted to know if that would be possible. I am attaching a brief resume.

UCSC ID number: 1096066

Hoping to hear back from you.

Thank you,

K.Sumanth

My first reaction to him was anger as he was calling me with my nicks in games. I really used to hate that. But slowly that reaction changed to a really cool childish friend.

One of the most, one the spot guys with most decisions made on the spur of the moment without much planning. I doubt wether any of his original plans stick till the last minute except for his career plans. Gets involved in anything that might include some fun.

Had loads of fun over the last year with U. Really knows how to have fun. The small idiotic discussions and meaningless fights. All the childish things that U do and our philosophical discussions regarding the matter. And yeah all the eating.

Be chatting with friends and u will find him roaming frm room to room at 3 am, just awake, asking for some food . A real hungry1. For the food he eats he should definitley be fatter than me. One of the few guys who enjoys food as much as me.

One of the few guys who actually have a chance of breaking my patience and get hit by me .

In the 4 yrs he has been here it seems that he had more dates than the actual number of days itself. There are actually ppl outside the college who know him as the casanova of IIIT.

Hmmm if this comment doesnt please him there will be some fireworks in his comments for me.

Wingie…first room, so I drop by his room every now and then to find him watching some DragonBallz like series or chatting with his "girlfriends" or preparing maggie for the dinner. He is quite a friendly wing-mate, its fun hanging out with him in dilip's room or having age discussions anywhere in our wing. Gave me quite some important tips regarding the game, thanks for them Had very nice last year of BTech with u dude Best of luck for your future.

Summu aka SaTaN. He plans things very nice and make use of avilable resources very efficient manner. He do what ever he want immidiately. His mind changes very frequently. His password to his room pc is the good example for this. Amazing thing is that he goes often movies and even just before the day of exams, plays games like hell … still maintain his GPA up to the level. Likes to enjoy the life up to the extent. He dominates anyone easily, thatz his style. His sight of life is very different to anybody of us. Hard working. Sometimes exhibits his chaildish behaviour, but he rulez the forumula "Always be happy". Very good friend of mine, be happy always as usually. Mama, I never forget the days spent with u.

This is one post that I've been postponing for a really long time. This and the farewell. I just amnt able to find time, with all the parties, card games and friends, farewells that we have been having of late. So, about the batch trip, katarya wrote a really awesome version of the story with pics, which would give a general view of how the trip was. However, mine would be much much more personal and would present a picture of how I felt abt the trip. I just want to do this in chronological order, dont know probably so that I wudnt miss anything. But I dont know if the time mentioned is perfect. Anyways, doesnt matter right .. i dont rmr the date and amnt in a mood to check when the date is..  some 4-5 days before

 8:00 PM :  Am all excited about the trip. Dont know why, but I somehow really wanted everyone to come and was a bit surprised when I learnt that …. but nevertheless was really glad as I would mention later. Cheddi ass dint come, cudnt force him, actually dint even try. If it had been like 2 years before, I know for sure that cheddi would have been with me on the trip.. how much people change in 2 years.. hmm. Maybe, someday I'll write a blog post on that.

11:00 PM : After a kewwll bath, packing of clothes and

Hmm.. bored now. Will finish later
