One tick on my bucket list

Found a short cut route to necklace road from our house which considerably decreases the distance I have to cycle in traffic.

Weather: At 4 in the evening weather was pleasant, thankfully no rain. Lucky that I am anosmic I couldn't make out if it was stinky..

Route: started near end of sanjeeviah park near pv narasimha rao ghat and rode non stop around tank bund till I reached the same spot passing necklace rd, lumbini park, tank bund rd and back.

Difficulty: Not really a difficult ride. Only one uphill near lumbini park for a few meters or else the terrain is mostly flat. Not much traffic on necklace rd, a little on tank bund which can be avoided if you drive early or are willing to ride on the footpaths..

Suggestions: You can find cycle repair shops only on tank bund, almost none on necklace road. Carry change in pocket, a bottle, a repair kit find a sunny day and go biking :) it is a beautiful ride don't postpone it..

NO ENTRY for celebrities

Everyone is dressed tradititonally and running around in the ground floor of a old nizamy style building and I am watching everything patiently from my window on the first floor.. I am dressed in a pathani outfit and my room is beautiful with bright colourful curtains, bedsheets in a qawalli style.. Suddenly everything just went calm and then enters a very famous celebrity none other than A r rehman.. It seems he heard my radio show and wanted to come onto my show and I called him and tat is y evevryone was running around. We both a nice chat and he also suggested me to start the show with a joke.. Everything was going perfect untill we suddenly decided to start my radio show and I took him near my wonderful master piece, none other than the Compaq PIII 1.00 Ghz 640 mb ram computer and switched it on to start my show.. And my beautiful machine, my baby refussed to start and Rehman was whistling and looking around the cornors of a wall, I think he was thinking of a new tune inspired by the orange walls.. My baby was still not cooperating and i asked him to go out give some time for my baby to start and he can have breakfast and come.. Poor chap was so friendly but left without saying a word.. And that is when I decided I will never have celebrities on my show again, not even in my dream..

Finally an RJ

I never thought that i will go on AIR.. I was nervous in the beginning but slowly started liking it.. By the end i was feeling so good.. I recieved my first fan call today from Mike.. Felt sooo happy :) I know i was talking crap without a script.. Probably i should prepare atleast list of things i should talk next time :) I never imagined my self being a RJ.. i always wanted to be this, that but donno y i thought i am not an RJ.. but 3hrs slot is tough man.. so many songs and sitting there all the time.. I made a lotta mistakes but will probably make it more interesting next time..

Seventy-five percent of our planet is water - can you swim??

i never in my life thought that i will learn swimming tat too when i am this old.. I am undoubtedly the most slowest and pathetic swimmer of all time if we exclude my close friend Sakkar :D..

On Day1 my teacher was shocked by seeing my swimming abilities, i donnno if she eva saw a guy walking that fast in the 3 feet 6 inches swimming pool.. Yes i successfully ran all the way when others were swiming.. One thing i don understand is how come every one is floating man.. I cant even hold something and float.. On day2 my instructor gave me fins.. They looked so good and comfartable and i was able to finish the lap in four turns minimum :D Felt soooo good.. But i was not able to stand on my fins and was drowning down in a 3'6 pool.. imagine ur legs bending off and drowning.. scary i say..

And on Day 3 she jus took them back and made me finless swimmer again.. but after practicing for 3 hrs seperately in a week i finally am able to swim 3/4th of the pool even if i am drinking 3/4th liters of chlorine water.. Cant help it man.. I know ppl who can swim will advice me to keep my mouth shut but believe me i am not some one who can keep his mouth shut even when i think i am taking my last breath.. cant help it tats my character dude.. i don care wateva happens i will swim atleast one lap this sem pakka.. Mark my words buddy..

Friendship Day a youth affair

Staff Reporter

Youngsters throng coffee shops, parks, malls, restaurants and theatres

---

Friendship bands were everywhere and on many arms

Incessant drizzle fails to dampen the spirit of friendship

HYDERABAD: The city was awash with excitement on Sunday as youngsters unwound to celebrate Friendship Day, notwithstanding the incessant drizzle . Youngsters either hung out at coffee shops, parks, malls, restaurants, bakeries, movie theatres or just about any place where they can simply gather around and chat.

For some like M. Divya, Friendship Day offered an opportunity to catch up with her schoolmates at the Shamirpet lake. “It was a much needed meet and most of us are leaving for MS in USA,” she said. Food addicts crammed their bellies at their favourite restaurants.

G. Mani, a software engineer, said she had more fun than she usually has on a Sunday. She went out along with her friends and flat mates where they pampered themselves with choicest of food before heading to Tank Bund and Imax. For a change, Varun, an engineering student, played host to his friends while they helped themselves to ‘Double kaMeetha’ prepared by him at his home.

Rakesh Kamal was relatively more lucky than his other pals as he had a chance to steal some time with his girl friend.

They went on a long drive along Necklace Road savouring roasted corn as rain drops drizzled past their faces.

Toast to friendship

Theatres were sold out as movie buffs flocked to catch the latest releases. As if to raise a toast to friendship, ‘Kathnayakudu’, the latest Rajnikanth starrer, had a storyline based on camaraderie.

Young means not just living it up but also going the spiritual or religious way. C. Abhishek and his friends, for instance, had a ‘Devotional Friendship Day’- well, they decided to go to a temple early in the morning before catching a movie later.

Friendship bands were everywhere and on many arms. “I will celebrate Friendship Day tomorrow by tying friendship bands to my friends in college,” said T. Sandhya, an engineering student. It looked like it was the girls who were more interested in thronging the gift shops to get friendship bands and greeting cards.

Not everyone was that lucky though. Some like Shashank working with a MNC had to slog even today as he usually does every Sunday.

Of course, there are some couch potatoes who preferred tuning into the idiot box all day watching various programmes dished out by channels and sending messages through SMS.

My calssmates mail for being late to submit an assignment

Author: Turner, Kevin ()	Date: October 27, 2008 7:57 AM

Survey by UN

A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was:


'Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food
shortage in the rest of the world?'


The survey was a huge failure -

In Africa they didn't know what 'food' meant,

In India they didn't know what 'honest' meant, 

In Europe they didn't know what 'shortage' meant, 

In China they didn't know what 'opinion' meant, 

In the Middle East they didn't know what 'solution' meant, 

In South America they didn't know what 'please' meant, 

And in the USA they didn't know what the 'rest of the world' meant!

Pronoy's poem

Priya and Rakesh are two angels adorable,
Together, they seem a couple very lovable.
Tiffs and distances are matters so negligible
when the pure love in-between, is so apparent and visible.

Priya, such a sweetheart, is most beautiful and cute.
She can spread her care to people, compassionate or rude.
Be it bonded birds or aging animals, or a hapless girl savaged by an uncle brute,
She’d fight for them by means, most honest not crude.

Rakesh, dear friend, is a guy so soft-spoken,
His care for the world is real and not token.
He works so hard to clean and mend our milieu so dirty and broken,
He strives his best to bring learning to kids downtrodden.

Priya and Rakesh, so complement each other,
What is one without the impression of the other?
Bless you to live a joyous and exciting life together,
But in all this love, both of you, don’t forget this solitary bard not too cleaver!

…Written for Priya and Rakesh by Pronoy

Anosmia

A Canadian Ninth-Grader's Class Speech

The following is a speech given by Brian, age 15, an anosmic in the ninth grade, to his classmates in the spring of 2001. It has not been edited or altered.

I come into a school hallway and the first thing I see is a bunch of students with their disgusted look on their faces, covering their mouths and holding their breath. I am completely confused and wonder why these people are acting this way. I suddenly hear a discussion between people saying that someone had just used a stink bomb.

Anosmia is a word that simply describes a person who cannot smell. When someone first finds out that I am not able to smell, his or her first reaction and response is always that I’m very lucky and fortunate because I’m not able to smell the bad odors. This is why I picked to do this speech on attempting to prove why it’s not worth being anosmic.

People think that having no sense of smell is a real privilege because I’m not able to smell even the most reeking odors like skunks, cigarette smoke, gas or paint. But with these benefits comes great consequences. The privilege of having the pleasure of smelling flowers, foods, or even perfume has been taken away. People think that not being able to smell good odors cancels out with not being able to smell horrible odors but that is without a doubt not the case. I am left with a lot of negative impacts in my life.

Being anosmic has left me with life threatening dangers like not being able to smell smoke from fires or gas leakage. One considerable disadvantage of being anosmic is that I am left over with having lower quality taste buds, for example, not being able to taste the difference between chicken and steak. Being anosmic has left me frustrated with my nose because the only use for it is an extra breathing hole, blowing out mucus and, as some of you know, nose bleeds. Figuring out whether or not I smell has always been considerably embarrassing because the only way possible is to ask people whether or not my breath smells, if I have body odor or even if my feet stink!

In the opinion of most of the people with Anosmia, the most important reason why it’s not worth being anosmic is because we are left with the feeling of being different from not having something that almost everyone else in the world has.

I am most probably never be able to understand what smelling is really like, that is why if someday there was a magical pill invented to let anosmics bring back their 5th sense, I would definitely take it, the question is would you?

(It was a speech debate .. to convince your audience to be on your side. So my question was, is it worth being anosmic?)

Love is MAD

A long time ago, before the world was created and humans set foot on it, God had put all the human "qualities"in a separate room.
Since all the qualities were bored they decided to play hide & seek.
"Madness" was one of the qualities and he shouted: "I want to count, I want to count!"And since nobody was crazy enough to want to seek "Madness", all the other qualities agreed.
So "Madness" leaned against atree and started to count: "One, two,three..."As "Madness" counted, the qualities went hiding.
"Treason" hid in a pile of garbage.. "Lie" said that it would hide under a stone, but hid at the bottom of the lake.And Madness continued to count "... seventy nine, eighty, eighty one..."By this time, all the qualities were already hidden except "Love ".
For stupid as "Love" is, he could not decide where to hide. And this should not surprise us, because we all know how difficult it is to hide "Love".
"Madness": "...ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven..." Just when "Madness" got to one hundred........."Love" jumped into a rose bush where he hid.And Madness turned around and shouted: "I'm coming, I'm coming!"As Madness turned around, "Laziness" was the first to be found, because "Laziness" was too lazy to hide. "Madness" searched madly and found "Lie" at the bottom of the lake. One by one, Madness found them all except Love.
Madness was getting desperate, unable to find Love.Envious of Love, "Envy" whispered to "Madness" "You only need to find Love, and Love is hiding in the rose bush.""Madness" Jumped on the rose bush and he heard loud cry. The thorns in the bush had pierced "Loves" eyes.Hearing the commotion God came into the room and saw what had happened.
He got very angry and cursed "Madness" and said since "Love" has become blind because of u ...u shall always be with him"And so it came about that from that day on, "Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness!"

ooohooo

My fren's sis marraige is nearby so am looking (acting) quiet busy these days. Other than that lifes bindaas,
Killing time has become my passion, checking mail my hobby, coffee day my destination.

An SMS chat that changed my life

God: Hello. You called me.

I, Me, Myself: Called you? No, who is this?

God: This is God. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat with you.

IMM: Sure, I pray. Just makes me feel good. Actually, am busy now. In the midst of something, you know.

God: What are you busy with? Ants are busy, too.

IMM: Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.

God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

IMM: But I still can't figure it out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

G: Well, I wanted to help you resolve your fight for time by giving you some clarity. I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

IMM: Tell me, why has life become so complicated?

G: Stop analysing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

IMM: Why are we then constantly unhappy?

G: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because the act of worrying has become a habit. That's why you are not happy.

IMM: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?

G: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

IMM: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.

God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

IMM: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?

God: Diamonds cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials. With that experience their life becomes better, not bitter.

IMM: You mean to say such experience is useful?

God: Yes. Experience is a hard teacher, though. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

IMM: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems?

God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons to Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

IMM: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading.

God: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

I Me Myself: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here? I don't know the answers.

God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be.

IMM: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction.

God: Success is relative, quantified by others. Satisfaction is absolute, quantified by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead.

IMM: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here? I don't know the answers.

God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.

IMM: How can I get the best out of life?

God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

IMM: Sometimes my prayers are not answered.

God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.

IMM: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I'll try to be less fearful.

God: Keep the faith and drop the fear. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

HER DIARY

Friday night, I thought he was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a cafe to have some coffee. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment. Conversation wasn't flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk, he agreed but he kept quiet and absent. I asked him what was wrong - he said, "Nothing."

I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry.
On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept driving.

I can't explain his behavior; I don't know why he didn't say, "I love you, too."
When we got home I felt as if I ad lost him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore.
He just sat there and watched TV; he seemed distant and absent.
Finally I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later he came to bed.
I decided that I could not take it anymore, so I decided to confront him with the situation but he had fallen asleep.
I started crying and cried until I too fell asleep.
I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.
My life is a disaster.

HIS DIARY
