Hampi lo ఏడుగురు ( ప్రతి scene climax లాగ ఉంటది )
It had been a while since we were hearing from friends/colleaguestraveling to Hampi, and coming back with ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ about the place, and showing off the beautiful photographs they had taken. After planning it for a while and finally finding some time to spare, we packed our bags and cameras and headed towards Hampi.Here came the first scene.we booked our bus tickets ( RajaHamsa Executive )to Hospet,but buses got cancelled due to Telangana Bandh on 24th December.Then we planned to catch KCG YPR Express so that we can reach Hospet by 7AM.But I know that KCG YPR express will be Jam packed as it is a holiday season.We all
know it is risk to travel in General coach,but we are ready to face any challenges to see Hampi.So we went to general berth and saw passengers are struggling to enter to that bogie.At first instance,two of my friends said "NO" by seeing that hilarious scene.Remaining 3 of my friends compromised them by saying that we can talk to TT to arrange atleast 2 seats.But to my surprise there were around 50+ passengers like us.After making 3 to 4 pradshakshans around him,we got a chance to talk to him.He said "NO" when we were about to ask him a seat.He said"You may get some seats in AC compartments".We all rushed to AC berths and also requested AC berths .AC Berths TT also said "NO".With no chance we asked TT " How much fine we have to pay if we enter into the sleeping berth without ticket".TT said"Fine is (Sleeper Berth charge-General Ticket charge + 250 )".We are ready to pay the fine.So we jumped to S7 Bogie as the train started.
Next Scene is in the train at the end of the Bogie ( near bathrooms ).It was very sad standing there for about 2 hours.But we made that bad moments to good moments by sharing our experiences.We had great time there.But the problem was only that bad smell when somebody opens door.RaviKanth is lucky here.He got a berth and he slipped into a deep sleep so that nobody can disturb him.TT came to us and said sorry for not allocating berths to us.We were shocked but he asked to pay a fine of Rs 400/- for entering to Sleeper coaches.You all ROhit is a very kind hearted so he gave 500/- ( 400/- fine and 100/- for TT saying "SORRY" ).we landed in Guntakal at around 4 AM.We jumped immediately into Amaravathi Express so that we can get few seats.We got complete 2 seats and we all slipped into deep sleep so that we can sleep
for atleast 2-3 hours.Some slept and some other enjoyed the beauty of Ballary Mines ( Iron ore mines ).It was a real treat to our eyes as we see train passing through red color Iron ore mines in the early hours when sun is rising.It was a real scenic beauty.We landed in Hospet around 8AM.We went to Hotel Priyadarshini and got our rooms ( 110 and 114 ).The room there are very nice.Around 9AM,Tiger and myself started to Hampi so that we can book bikes for a ride in and out of Hampi.We reached Hampi around 10:30 AM and booked 4 bikes.Remaing 5 members were waiting in Hotel to receive Mr.Golla.He came to Hospet at around 10AM.They started to Hampi around 11AM.Meanwhile,Tiger and myself had a ride in Hampi for around 2hours.Around 12:30 PM,we all met and started to rock Hampi.We Visited and captured each and every carving.We also depicted some stills of GOD for our future memories.At around 2 PM,we went to a mess and had lunch.That lunch was OK.After lunch,we started to cover Krishna Temple,Bhale Rama Temple,Hampi Bazar,Koneru,etc..,.After taking the beautiful pictures of Lord Krishna, we started to Lotus Mahal.Here the lead role met with an accident.Mr.Golla tried to overtake us.But he slipped and had some minor injuries.We spent some time there and started again to cover rest of Hampi.From there we visited LaxmiNarasimha Swamy Temple and BadavaLingam ( Shiva Lingam in Water ).From there we started to UnderGround temple.We spent about 30 minutes there.we then visited some Mahals,play grounds and other places.Mr.Golla was eager to see the place where Mukkupai muddhu pettu ... ( Chandamama Song ).I don't know the exact reason.We went to that place and had some snaps.The architecture was great there.We went
to small cave there and shared some jokes there in caves.We then started to Lotus Mahal and Elephant's Stable.As it was last place we planned to spent more time.We took some creative photographs.Even foriegners got impressed with our creative work and took some photos of ours.We felt very proud at that moment.Only Hampi Guys can only feel it.We then returned to Virupaksha temple and had a good darshanam there.The scenes between Virupaksha and Elephant Stable was the highlight of all scenes.We took Golla to a doctor as the left hand starting swelling.That idiot ( Doctor ) experimented Golla.He treated him so roughly and tied a bandage as hard as a cement bandage.We felt very sorry for Golla at that moment but we forgot to catch his expressions at that moment.At around 8PM,we started to Hospet.We had a nice dinner
there at Meenakshi Restaurant.We returned to our rooms around 9PM.
Second Day: We booked a TAVERA to cover Badami,Aihole,Kudala Sangam and Almatti Dam.We started around 8AM.Here comes the torturest twist.The road to Kudala Sangam was Jampacked with Lorries for about 10-15 Kms.So we took another route to reach Kudala sangam.We wasted about 2 hours there :(.Believe it or not,I have been in Hyderabad for about 7 years and I did not see that huge traffic jam ever till now.We reached Kudala sangam around 12 PM.The weather was so pleasant there.We spent about 1 hour on the banks of that sangamam.We also visited the samadhi of a great saint.The architecture was very good there.We started to Almatti Dam at arounf 1:30 PM.We had a good lunch there in Udipi restaurant.We reached Almatti dam around
3 PM.To our surprise,the security guards did not allow us to see that dam due to security concerns.We got disappointed and spent about half an hour on the banks of river krishna there.WE had some nice moments there in a Park near Almatti Dam.The park was so beautiful.We captured each and every sq. feet there in that park.From there we started to Badami.Badami is an perfect example for the Saying " Old is Gold".The intelligence involved in the construction of temples in the middle of a river and that caves architecure was so beautiful.We enjoyed the caves architecture for about an hour and started to a temple besides a
river.We spent about 1 hour there.It was another real treat to our eyes.The weather was also so pleasant there as there was a pond near by.From there we started to Hospet.In order to keep driver awake while driving,we took an interesting topic and started discussing.( No the topic was not telangane.It is a top secret ).We reached Hospet around 10 PM.we had dinner in the same restaurant ( meenakshi restaurant ).We played cards for about 1 hour.End of Day 2
Third Day : We thought of spending this day in Tungabhadra Dam and to see sunset.We started around 9AM.We reached Tungabhadra around 10AM.We had some joyous moments there in TungaBhadra Dam.We clicked our cameras every second as every scene was very beautiful there.We explored a beautiful park there near TungaBhadra dam.We took some Jumping photos and Devudu Photos.From there we went to a near by aquarium.There we covered may fishes and studied about them.From there we started to Hampi to cover sunset.We reached Hampi around 3PM.We had about 2 hours to cover sunset.So we planned for a walk from Achyuth Ram temple to Vijaya Vittala Temple.We covered many temples ( Varaha Swamy Temple,Anjaneya
Temple,Kumaraswamy Temple,etc.. ) on the way to vittala temple.We reached Vijaya Vittala temple around 4PM.Vijaya Vittala temple was very beautiful.We cannot explain the architecture,we have to see that's it :) It was around 5PM and we are infront of Virupaksha Temple but the sunset is not so clear as it was a about to rain.We were also disappointed to miss the beautiful sunset.We started to Hospet around 7PM saying " TATA TATA TATA " to each and every monument.We reached Hospet around 8PM.we enquired about the Bus to hyderabad in Hospet Bus stations.They said "ALL buses to hyderabad got cancelled".SO we thought of
catching Haripriya Express to reach Hyderabad.Haripriya express leaves our bogi in Guntakal junction and Rayalaseema takes that bogie to Hyderabad.At that moment I thought that each and every person indirectly showed hell to us.
( KSRTC department )RajaHamsa Buses got cancelled.
( KCG YPR S7 TT ) Horrible journey in KCG YPR express.
( Bikes owner ) gave old bikes which are in bad condtion.
Hampi Road Curves ) Rakesh golla bike skid in sand.
( Doctor ) Increased the pain by a tight bandage.
( Traffic Jam in Hospet ) Missed Aihole.
( Weather / Clouds ) Missed Sunset.
( Again KSRTC ) Return bus got cancelled.
Here comes the ultimate one.
( Time/GOD ) Photos got deleted in my camera at the last moment.
See how many challenges we have faced in this.But we, Vasavians made successful by crossing all these hurdles.Hats off to every one who prayed for our safe return.

NavaRasalu @ Bhadrachalam
Last weekend we were able to make it to bhadrachalam and papikondalu , which I had been thinking of visiting for a long time. Fortunately it happened to be one of my friends marriage at Kazipet where we all can gather and start. So we planned for this wonderful and scenic place called Papikodalu which is on the great river Godavari.
I faced handfull of punches in every tour,but in this tour I faced one
beautiful punch at the beginning of the tour.I booked Train tickets from kazipet to bhadrachalam.Machilipatnam express arrives at kazipet around 00:40 .My friends reception is on October 30,2009.Our plan was to jump into that train so that we can have a sleep in that train.For that I booked tickets on 30th October 00:40 and I told my friends that all tickets were confirmed no need to worry.One of the intelligent friends in my batch found that I booked
on 30th night not 31st night.First punch dangerous punch.To be frank,some of my friends did not understand what was happening and why this fellows are shouting.So we planned to reach Bhadrachalam by bus.After having a nice dinner there at reception,we started to Hanamkonda Bus station to catch Bhadrachalam bus.The bus came at 11 PM and we enjoyed some filmi jokes in that bus.We reached bhadrachalam around 4 AM.
We booked a TATA Magic so that we all 13 members can be in a single vehicle and moreover we can cover all 4 directions.We took bath in that beautiful Godavari around 6 AM.It was a nice entertainment session for all of us as we all travelled a lot in that bus.We had some snaps there at Godavari and started to Darshanam as we have to catch the boat around 9AM.We had a good darshanam there.We came out of the temple around 7:30 AM.We started to Sri Ramagiri ( the place where the boat starts to Paapikondalu).SriRamagiri was around 60 Kms away from bhadrachalam.One of my friends took initiative and collected all the money.We had a huge breakfast on the way to SriRamagiri.As the boat driver was irritating us with
his calls,we travelled the rest in full speed.We reached the spot at 10 AM.The boat started immediately as we entered in to that boat.We had a look at the passenger faces as they all were waiting for us.But nothing happened and nobody showed their anger as we were 13 members and each member is heavily built. :)
As the boat started,they gave us breakfast.I was shocked to see the quantity they gave.It was so less and trust me that breakfast will not be sufficient for a new born baby too.We all were happy as we had a huge breakfast.After breakfast,they served us tea.Sorry it was hot sweet water which was in tea like color.Without wasting any moment we started clicking our cameras without leaving any scenic beauty.We covered almost all the greenery around Godavari.We dipped our foot into the water and enjoyed about 2 kms of boat ride.It was
also a nice experience.Once our boat strucked in the middle of the river as there was sand in the middle of the river but the boat crew solved it very easily.Like this our boat journey continued with some cool jokes and hot sun.We had some entertaining stuff with a person who is narrating history about Paapikondalu.We made some fun with him.After continous travel,we had a halt
at perantalapalle.There we visited a temple and took some photographs beside a waterfall.We explored a lot in perantalapalle and bought some flowers there.We sat at a cool place and shared some lighter moments.We had lunch at a place near perantalapalle.The lunch was good but not great.In the next scene,we were in the boat taking each and every beauty of Paapikondalu as the boat was travelling through that hills.It was a big treat to our eyes.We travelled about 2 kms from that place and explored the beauty of Paapikondalu.We are a bit lucky as we saw a malayam movie shooting spot in that paapikondalu.The boat driver halted at a place ( Kollur ) and informed us to get down as we planned for a night stay.We landed there at around 2:30 PM.
The reception there at Kollur was great.They served us with Tea and Pakoda but we refused as we are feeling sleepy and told them to bring after 5PM.As soon as we get into that cottages,we went it our beds.We all gotup around 5PM and ordered snacks.Our cottages are on top of a hill ( about 500 mts distance from bank of Godavari).We went down to enjoy that evening.While going down we ordered some stuff for boozing.We played some skill games.One
of my friends pant got damaged as he attempted to jump over my friend.We played on the banks on the Godavari for about 2 hours.It was one of the finest seconds in my life.Jolly 120 minutes.Really we all enjoyed each and every millisecond in that period.Around 7PM,Bobby( resort boy ) came to us and told that everything is ready.Then we told him to lit camp fire and
arrange 10 chairs and a table near to the bank of Godavari.He arranged it in minutes.We arranged everything on the table and started the actual episode here.We ahd bought 8 quarter bottles of Whisky and 5 bottles of Sprite ( for the guys like me :)).Again 2 hours of joy.Godavari River aside,full moon day the cold air completely surrounded and a camp fire at one end,it's a
wonderful experience.We shared some lighter moments there and completed all the bottles and the stuff.With that excitement to not let our body down,we danced to the tones of Theen maar and fastbeats.One of my friends fell down while dancing but it did not hurt him as he is in drunken mood.He kicked his close friend with full force(I dunno the reason ).Then we started to our cottages and the dinner is ready.We had a nice dinner(fish fry and chicken curry).I had no sleep since 2 days before this tour so I went to bed as soon as I had dinner.While I was in deep sleep,our friends started to shout to show others that they all were drunken.They had a very hot discussion and they tried to wake me up but I was not in this world.Am in sleeping world.It went for about 1 hour but I missed it :(.
Me,srinivas and pradeep woke up early in the morning and started to explore the Godavari bank early in the morning to not miss sunrise.we explored there about 1 hour and came to our cottages.We heard many noises from the forest in that morning.Around 8AM ,breakfast was served.We had it and started to explore the forest area.Resort boy has said that there was a waterfall nearby.SO we planned to take bath in that waterfall.We started at
around 8:30 Am.The scenic beauty on the way to waterfall was awesome.The green bushes and the fog/dew on flowers was so colorful.We continue exploring the forest with a stick in a hand ( for safety :) ).We travelled like this about 3 kms.Two of my friends got tired and said that they will take bath in a near by lake.Remaining 8 gutsy guys never gave up and started again to find
waterfalls.After 5 kms we found a small waterfall.It was also a real scenic beauty.We had a nice bath there and started back to cottage.On the way back to cottage,we shouted at a place where two my friends gave up.There was no response.We came to cottages around 11AM.Two of my friends who gave up did not come to the cottages.We waited in the cottages till 11:30 AM and started again to forest shouting "Pradeep ... Venkatesh".We were so afraid and searched each and every feet of forest.Finally we found them in a near by lake.We were so relaxed on seeing them.We came back to cottages around 12 PM and had a nice lunc ( chicken fry and fish curry ).
We had to pack our luggages for our return journey to bhadrachalam.We went to the bank of the river around 2 PM.We entered into boat around 2:30 Pm and reached SriRamagiri around 5:30PM.Our TATA Magic was waiting for us near sriramagiri.TATA Magic has dropped us in Bhadrachalam around 7PM.We reached Kothagudem to catch LINK Express around 9PM.We reached Hyderabad around 4:30 AM.I know that you all are waiting for the NAVARASALU.See below :)

The reception there at Kollur was great.They served us with Tea and Pakoda but we refused as we are feeling sleepy and told them to bring after 5PM.As soon as we get into that cottages,we went it our beds.We all gotup around 5PM and ordered snacks.Our cottages are on top of a hill ( about 500 mts distance from bank of Godavari).We went down to enjoy that evening.While going down we ordered some stuff for boozing.We played some skill games.One
of my friends pant got damaged as he attempted to jump over my friend.We played on the banks on the Godavari for about 2 hours.It was one of the finest seconds in my life.Jolly 120 minutes.Really we all enjoyed each and every millisecond in that period.Around 7PM,Bobby( resort boy ) came to us and told that everything is ready.Then we told him to lit camp fire and
arrange 10 chairs and a table near to the bank of Godavari.He arranged it in minutes.We arranged everything on the table and started the actual episode here.We ahd bought 8 quarter bottles of Whisky and 5 bottles of Sprite ( for the guys like me :)).Again 2 hours of joy.Godavari River aside,full moon day the cold air completely surrounded and a camp fire at one end,it's a
wonderful experience.We shared some lighter moments there and completed all the bottles and the stuff.With that excitement to not let our body down,we danced to the tones of Theen maar and fastbeats.One of my friends fell down while dancing but it did not hurt him as he is in drunken mood.He kicked his close friend with full force(I dunno the reason ).Then we started to our cottages and the dinner is ready.We had a nice dinner(fish fry and chicken curry).I had no sleep since 2 days before this tour so I went to bed as soon as I had dinner.While I was in deep sleep,our friends started to shout to show others that they all were drunken.They had a very hot discussion and they tried to wake me up but I was not in this world.Am in sleeping world.It went for about 1 hour but I missed it :(.
Me,srinivas and pradeep woke up early in the morning and started to explore the Godavari bank early in the morning to not miss sunrise.we explored there about 1 hour and came to our cottages.We heard many noises from the forest in that morning.Around 8AM ,breakfast was served.We had it and started to explore the forest area.Resort boy has said that there was a waterfall nearby.SO we planned to take bath in that waterfall.We started at
around 8:30 Am.The scenic beauty on the way to waterfall was awesome.The green bushes and the fog/dew on flowers was so colorful.We continue exploring the forest with a stick in a hand ( for safety :) ).We travelled like this about 3 kms.Two of my friends got tired and said that they will take bath in a near by lake.Remaining 8 gutsy guys never gave up and started again to find
waterfalls.After 5 kms we found a small waterfall.It was also a real scenic beauty.We had a nice bath there and started back to cottage.On the way back to cottage,we shouted at a place where two my friends gave up.There was no response.We came to cottages around 11AM.Two of my friends who gave up did not come to the cottages.We waited in the cottages till 11:30 AM and started again to forest shouting "Pradeep ... Venkatesh".We were so afraid and searched each and every feet of forest.Finally we found them in a near by lake.We were so relaxed on seeing them.We came back to cottages around 12 PM and had a nice lunc ( chicken fry and fish curry ).
We had to pack our luggages for our return journey to bhadrachalam.We went to the bank of the river around 2 PM.We entered into boat around 2:30 Pm and reached SriRamagiri around 5:30PM.Our TATA Magic was waiting for us near sriramagiri.TATA Magic has dropped us in Bhadrachalam around 7PM.We reached Kothagudem to catch LINK Express around 9PM.We reached Hyderabad around 4:30 AM.I know that you all are waiting for the NAVARASALU.See below :)

A thorn in my life
The day was November 7,2008.I never thought this day will be memorable through out my life.A small incident happened on this day but it made be suffer for more than 1 month.The incident was "thorn entered into my right foot".At that instance,I removed it though am suffering.But I don't know that two thorns entered into my foot.I felt happy that I removed it.In that tour, mallanna was there with me so I did not feel any pain though I have another thorn in my foot.After two days from my tour,I felt some pain but I ignored it.After a week,I forgot about the instance.
After this tour,I went for another two tours.One is SouthIndia Tour and other is Bapatla.I did not feel any pain though I played and Jumped for my innovative photographs in that two tours.But one day,I and my friends planned for another tour to srisailam.But it did not get succeeded.Mallanna got angry on me and he gave me the pain he suffered at that time.Really it was horrible.But I did not take care of it.I thought that some object struck me while I was playing cricket/tennis.But day by day,the pain increased.I told about this to my father ( who used to remove thorns for me when I was kid ).He scolded me and told he will remove it by a small surgery.At the first instance I was afraid of that surgery and I told "NO".He said " It's you who have to suffer".I ignored his words at that moment.But day by day,as I used to take my car for rounds everyday,it got worst as I used to drive with bare feet.
Then I thought of surgery and I called my dad.He told me to come to my native so that he can only remove that thorn.But I told to give anaesthesia so that I cannot feel any pain while undergoing surgery.My dad should not give anaesthesia as his designation does not allow him to do this.So we consulted a doctor who is a close friend of my father.He gave anaesthesia and my daddy removed it safely.But,the moment the doctor gave anaesthesia to my wounded leg was so horrible.Later, everything went fine and my dad told me with a smile "OPERATION SUCCESS" Before this operation,my dad cracked a beautiful joke which made me quite for about 15 minutes.As I am interested in writing blogs,I asked my dad's friend to take a video of this surgery with my mobile so that I can show it to my friends.Moreover,my dad is doing it.When I told this,my dad said "OK" and he left that place in a hurry.I stopped him and asked him "Why are you going in a hurry".He said " I am in a hurry to bring DeviSri Prasad because only video will not make sense.The operation with some music ( dharuvu ) makes this movie succesfully.By saying this I kept quiet and laughed in myself. This is my first surgery and I hope that another blog/surgery should not come like this.But imagine a major surgery,Really HATSOFF to the person who invented "anaesthesia".

My Childhood dream car
I had a dream in my childhood and that dream was to own a white
color maruti 800 car.It got fulfilled on August 10,2009.My dad bought a maruti 800 car ( second hand ) for me.I was very
happy when I heard about this.Before this,I told that "I was
planning to buy a santro/zen car".He said OK but suddenly he took
this car.At the first instance,I was angry but later I was very
happy that my childhood dream came true.Previously,in 90's the
only car I know is "Maruthi car".So I had a dream to own it.Any ways.I got a good condition car to practice car on hyderabad
roads.
I plan to bring that car to hyderabad.It was in my native place (
Bellampally ).How should I bring that car ? I know only basics of
driving.So I asked my friends to company me.At the first
instance,my friends said "NO".I gave them confidence that I will
reserve a driver so that we can be safe if anything happens.They
said "OK".
The day was August 16,2009.Pooja was done for that car and the
pujari asked me to drive 3 rounds with this car.I was worried and
also confident.I drove 3 rounds across ramalayam temple in
bellampally.This was the first driving experience in my car.I
comepleted it without any problem.It gave me immense confidence
that I can drive car.Later,I said that I will drive this car to
my home.My dad said " Arey,why to take risk for the first time
and that too on the way to home".My dad was not confident enough
as he missed my 3 rounds of driving.He was a little busy at that
time and went outside to bring some pooja items.I also listened
to his words.We all went home safe as the driver was driving it.
I was waiting for 1 o'clock as I have to leave for hyderabad in
car.I was waiting because I can drive car for atleast 50 kms on
the way to hyderabad.I,along with driver started around 2 PM.He
said that he will give the car near Godavarikhani.My friends
jumped into the car near manchiryal.We are near to godavarikhani
and the driver handed over the car to me.I drove the car till
sultanabad ( 40 Kms ).I felt very happy when I overtook a
lorry.That time,I look at my speedometer and it showed me 90.I was shocked that I was driving at such speed.With the same flow,I overtook 7-10 lorries.I felt discomfortable only when the speed breakers welcomed me.Except that,I felt very comfortable in the car.My friends,who said "NO" at the beginning said that my driving was nice.
We had a break and had some mirchi bajjis and tea.I gave the car to the driver and he took the driver's position till karimanagar.After that,I took the driver's seat.This time,I was very confident and I never took the speedometer below 60.I was just driving it as I was a driving a cycle ,taking cuts,turns smoothly.This time,I also felt comfortable when any breakers welcomed me.I drover for about another 50 Kms.It was 6 PM and thought of having a break in Siddipet.We had a nice session there.As it was dark,I handed over the keys to the driver.The driver is in full flow.We reached hyderbad in 1 hour from siddipet.We came to himayatnagar ( my room ) around 8 PM.
This was my first trip with my childhood dream car.This trip was special as I drove about 100 kms.Really,I enjoyed the thrill in the driving.

GetTogether_15Aug2009
I met my engineering mates in December 2008 ( Swetha's marriage ).I and rajesh ( Cisco ) are in contact every day ( thanks to gmail ) .we discuss many things like movies,jobs,work,etc.,.One day rajesh thought of a get together so that we maintain our relationships.He took initiative and composed a mail and sent it across.Here came the first shock,rakesh and srinivas ( infosys ) discussed about the get together but srinivas name was missing in the "TO" list of people.It was a beautiful mistake( andhamaina thappu ) .As usual not all will say "YES" for a get together as many are busy with their work.But, those are bewarse in the streets of hyderabad said "OK" and are ready to celebrate the independence day with a get together party.
We decided to meet at IMAX around 2 PM.As I was a typical Indian citizen,I expected the people at IMAX around 3 PM.To my surprise, all are there at IMAX around 2:15 PM.I was happy but as I expected,the initiator ( Mr. Rajesh ) came around 4 PM.But in this time between 2 PM to 4 PM, a wonder happened.Laxman came to IMAX to watch Maghadheera.He returned back as there were no tickets.We all are happy to see him safe ( as there are attacks on Indian people in Australia ) .He was on site to India.We had a chat with him for about 15 mins.See the leela of GOD, he made Rajesh ( the initiator ) late to the party and made us to meet Laxman.Really , GOD is great for his magics.If rajesh came to the party in time,we would miss Laxman.We roamed in and out of that Multiplex waiting for Rajesh and watching .... .Thanks Rajesh for coming late and made us wait and watch the beautiful ladies there at IMAX.We had a drink ( maaza in dabba ) and a party @ McDonald's.We enjoyed the burgers and soft drinks for an hour discussing the past moments.Here we planned for a tour ( Hampi ) in October.
From there we planned to say "Bye".See again,GOD played another leela here.By the way to our departures,Rakesh golla planned for a walk in a near by park.We all said "OK" as it was a park.I don't know about others,but I was interesed in it for beautiful scenes in the park.We all roamed in the park discussing.... .I Know you all can understand ... as girls are not part of that get together. We have learned some words from srinivas ( Infy ) .Rajesh was very happy hearing that words and said that he had not listened that words after enginnering.Satyanarayana as usual cracked some timing jokes and made us laugh continuously on that beautiful bridge.As usual rajkumar,rajesh ( durgam ) and inder added masala for that jokes.Rajesh and Rakesh enjoyed the smell of that masala with their huge laughter.I know you all want to know what I was doing at that time.I want to make that memories to be for ever.I was taking each and every moment into my mobile memory card.
After that bridge part,we went to a place under the bridge.It was dark and hot.We took some photographs there and had some gala time.But not so fun as that of that bridge episode.As we are taking some risky photographs there under the bridge, watchman shouted at us.As we are followers of Gandhi,we just left that place without any quarrel.As it was becoming late, we thought of saying "BYE".We dispersed around 6:30 PM,but the moments in that park was memorable.
After that I and rakesh went to ramakanth's house as rakesh golla want to handover some items packed by ramakanth for their parents.At the first instance,I hesitated to enter into their house as there was a dog and it was shouting at us.So,we thought to leave that place in a minute.But the way ramakanth parents received was awesome.They talked to us as we were relative for years.They shared their experiences and gave some career guidance techniques.We gained their experiences there.
The batch at IMAX : Durgam Rajesh,Srinivas ( Infy ),Satyanarayana,Rajesh ( Cisco ),Inder,Raj Kumar,Rakesh golla,Laxman and myself.
Some were present there at IMAX physically , but you ( the rest of CSE-B) all are there with us in our minds as we discussed about each other.
