Time to say gud bye to all my friends....

I was enjoying the music and suddenly this song was on the track -- "Friends are Friends Forever" song by Michael W Smith. I really enjoyed this song and I wanted to dedicate this song to all my wonderful buddies.... The lyrics were written by Deborah D Smith.
The song goes like this...


Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter of your life is through

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

And with the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you live in
Is the strength that now you show

We'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

To live as friends

Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

No a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

Will miss you all :( :( :(

అమ్మ

I felt like posting the same post which I've written in my other blog here also. It is all about mother. A wonderful description in Telugu.

ఎందుకో ఈ రోజు అమ్మ గురించి రాయాలనపడింధి. అందుకే అది కూడా తెలుగులో మొదలు పెట్టాను. నేను వై యస్ జయమ్మ గారి కుమార్తె రాసిన పుస్తకం ఆడియో వింటున్నాను. దాని ప్రారంభంలో అమ్మ గురించి చెప్పారు. కనిపించని దెవునికి కనిపించే ప్రతిరూపమే అమ్మ. దేవునికి తన బిడ్డలపై ఉండే ప్రేమను అమ్మ ప్రేమ ద్వారా చూపిస్తున్నాడు. అమ్మ అన్నది ఒక కమ్మని మాట. మధురాగానురాగాల తరగని మాట.

Swimming trance

After Olympics and especially after my trip to Sydney, I've finally decided to take Swimming classes because I've realized the importance of swimming in Sydney. I've shown much interest in taking swimming classes. Since my childhood every summer my dad used to force us(my brother n me) to join the swimming classes but we never did what he asked us to do. We normally don't take elders words seriously until we experience the bad consequences in our life which they asked us to take care of. I think I'm exceeding my boundaries in teaching philosophy [:D] Anyways with the inspiration of Michael Phelps [:D], went to the stadium for registration. Unluckily the registrations for that month (August) were closed. Again a hinderance :( I made a strong decision that I should join swimming from September. Waited desperately for the 1st of September. As usual I've lost completely in my work :( Forgot about swimming and it was already 7th of September. So on Monday which was 8th I decided to get myself registered. (The dates are not sure which I'm mentioning) Successfully registered for swimming. Guess what happened, again an obstacle on my way. Then it was a weird obstacle. Doctors in our college asked students of IIIT not to attend swimming classes. I was so angry and I thought eventhough I get anything, I loose my skin color or anything I decided not to stop joining. Just before I was planning to join that next day, few hours before going for the swimming class, we received a mail mentioning that. Finally with a great inspiration from Phelps who won 8 Gold medals in Beijing Olympics [:D] of course I cannot ever think about acheiving, I wanted to learn swimming at least. Got addicted to the swimming videos of major events like Olympics especially videos of Phelps. Really am a biggest fan of Phelps. Even am a fan of Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe who took retirement. Ian Thorpe was the first youngest male ever to represent Australia at an age of 14. Phelps declared once that Thorpe was his inspiration . When I was watching the videos of Beijing Olympics, how cool Phelps was. I suggest you to watch those clips if you ever get a chance. In every event he was so cool without any tension on his face and every time he was listening to music and coolly he takes his position and the way he swims was so amazing. The way he rolls back by hitting the other side of the pool was a very very interesting one. Anyways I'm going out of the topic I guess [:D]. After joining swimming, getting dreams that I was drowning and suddenly waking up in the middle of night. It was so terrible and now I am confident that at least I will learn well and am learning slowly. I feel that everyone should learn swimming. In foreign countries almost everyone knows how to swim. I encourage each and everyone to learn swimming which is a very helpful one and is also a good relaxation for the body. No one knows, it may save your life someday!!!


He is Michael Phelps who won eight gold medals in a single Olympics who set the world records in almost all the different events of swimming. He is an exceptional swimmer I've ever seen in my life. You can read more about him in wiki :)

My 5th sem

After a long long time, I'm posting a new one. Completed my 5th sem successfully by GOD's grace :) I don't know how I've changed means my way of relationship with GOD, my way of studying and many many things. GOD gave me a great realization that I should do the work which he has assigned me with my whole heart. Two years I've wasted my precious time :( I don't know what is the mistake but I didn't find myself satisfied with my work and study. This sem really enjoyed a lot with almost all the subjects which I've opted for. DWDM is a little hectic course but it now became my favorite course and I've learnt a lot about Data Mining and all that stuff. Even remaining courses also enjoyed a lot especially LP class with Navatha. Every week Sunday night we dint sleep early because monday morning DWDM assignment submission... dint find much time to spend with friends or even family members too. Really really enjoyed a lot in my work. First time in my life, wholeheartedly worked and not even caring about the grades and all the remaining stuff because GOD has seen me working and it is his wish now. Whatever he wants me to be, I need to accept it and I will accept :) Don't know where we'll go finally in our life... thinking of my fourth year, I'm having fear of missing my friends here :( but life has to go like that only... It is very sad to leave this campus, Friends, Profs and all these late-night assignments, exams, project submissions, blah blah blah....
Its sure that I'll miss IIIT.

cooking expertise

Since these are my vacation days and I've only little work of doing my summer project, I wanted to cook food myself...I told this idea to my mom and immediately she felt very happy. As usually about mothers it is common if we ask something related to kitchen stuff, they'll provide us the necessary requirements for our comfort, when I'm returning to college, she packed luggage which consists mainly of kitchen related stuff and even gave me many suggestions in cooking.

Now starts the important part [:D]. Initially for a few days it was really a great excitement to do cooking. But later on I came to know how difficult it was. Neways that's the other side of having less interest. As of now, with my friends I'm trying a lotta stuff. Main item which we do is maggi (as usual for every hostel student's fav stuff) and vegetable pulav. Everyone like the taste of the food which I prepare. To know this I think you can see the comments for this post[:D].

I feel that Pulav was the tastiest one and yummiest item which we've prepared till now. As usually I always take the part of cooking, where bringing requirements for the preparation was taken by Anups, Shalz and Spandy(Spandy u always go to violin class and skip no??[x(]). Remember the easiest work which we do is preparing pulav with egg fry. One should see how we really work during the preparation [:)].I dont think we do any work with such a concentration even our assignments :) because experience is that some times if we dont put concentration during making fry, they'll become as black as a charcoal[:D]. Neways had a great experience in cooking and hope I won't cook like a novice after such a great experiences and experiments in the future.

ohh srry I forgot one thing......I donno who got the idea of taking a snap during cooking.see the pic and u can judge now, whether ours will be tasty or not if we cook like this.Btw the snap is not ours [:P] scroll down to see the snap

ThE fAvOrItE dAy WhIcH I AlWaYs LoNg FoR..........

I always wish for this beautiful, fair-haired, hallowed,......day. That is Sunday. "Vow!!!!It's sunday....phew!!! the whole week's burden is released" I always feel like this.
When I'm very young, I love those days and I wish such days again come in my life. Sunday means most of the day, we used to spend in the Church. We lived far away..approx 5Kms from the Church and so to utilise the time we used to pack our food and stayed there till evening.
When I'm young means in my high-school days, GOD gave us a beautiful house which is somewhat near compared to the old rented house. School days were amazing...and if I ever think about that I feel I'm really missing them alot. Even if I want them we can't go to the history :( Time once passed, is passed. In those days our schedule was morning waking up early, having some breakfast and riding our bicycles going to sunday school. I LoVe SuNdAy ScHoOl. It has played alot, in transforming me and was a great blessing to me. We had many competitions like singing, memory verse telling,etc. It was a great fun. Apart from fun as I've mentioned a great blessing for all, whoever have attended.After SuNdAy ScHoOl, along with my parents, my brother and myself used to go to church.Sunday evening was a great fun. My brother and I used to play Cricket!!!(I play cricket well [:)] in such a way that my brother sometimes din't allow me to play because my batting was such a terrific one that ball always bounced on to other's terrace[:D])
When I'm in college(pre-university)....I went to Nellore. No fun nothing....A new place...New environment...New members in church and everything NeW. I made myself adjusted to all that and very soon I became habituated with all those. Sunday was my favorite. When I went to Church I feel at home. We were not allowed to go out without incharge's permission and should go with our hostel warden. God helped in such a way that it is a shock to tell....our college principal, who can also give permission, sometimes informed the driver of our college vehicle to help us to drive to church and return. Thank you LORD for putting grace in the eyes of those people. I sometimes missed church on sundays and so we used to have prayer in the hostel itself. I came to know the importance of prayer and church in an individual's life when I was in Nellore and I suffered from the feeling of missing Church on sundays. Because none other day I enjoyed myself in the week, more than sunday and if I lost that also......it was very pitiable. After two yrs my brother got admission in the same college and then all happies. We both used to go together.It was gr8.
When I'm in university means now.....It's all happy. No permissions, nothing from anyone. We have such a freedom here. Every week I enjoy in the presence of my LORD, my Friend. Whole week busy wid assignments, deadlines, projects, blah blah blah.....I sleep very early on sundays. Monday, again routine busy life starts...So..today is saturday and enough for now.... tomorrow I should wake up early to go to Church in time.Gud nite!!!!

Buggered TV in GH

Actually I thought of posting this a longtime back. Since time was not sufficient, I couldn't do that. Now I've got the oppurtunity to write about our GH(Girls Hostel)'s wonderfully buggered Television.

Once upon a time I was addicted to this idiotic box. God gave me victory over that. Thank you dear LORD.Whenever I get bored I read newspaper or I watch television that too my favourites are Discovery, National Geographic, BBC, TV9 channels. If ever I watch TV, I only watch these channels.

Now coming to the main part, when I'm in 1st yr, remote was not working properly. So, everyone started using the buttons of the TV. Whoever wants to operate them, sits next to it and operates it. Sometimes there were quarrels too because the girl who sits beside it and operates, watches her favourite channel and all should watch only that. If she watches for a long time and if somebody gets irritated with it, then ask her to change the channel.If she refuses, then quarrel will start or simply they'll walk off the TV lounge.

After somedays means, I dont remember the exact sem in which I'm in... may be during the 3rd sem, volume button was damaged and we couldn't adjust the volume. Later channel buttons were also damaged and funny thing was that if we were watching 23rd number channel and want to go to 15th or even 22th, then we need to go on till 100th and from 100th again 1,2,......finally whatever channel we wanted. This was too funny. At this moment not only the buttons are not working but also the picture is not visible and the TV lounge is deserted with no one over there. Many students mailed BLN(our hostel caretaker), but it was of no use.

Everytime I pass by the TV lounge, I remember the days when TV lounge was full and most of the students watched the programmes standing. In these holidays since most of us are staying here to do summer projects, whenever we get bored, we don't have that option to watch TV for atleast sometime. I donno when that will be repaired. Hope that it will be repaired soon.
