Failure

I am not talented!

I realised that right from the word go that i started facing troubles in life.....

.but i got through everything with sheer stubborness that i will HAVE to do it.

Its this mad determination that kept pushing me ..........

From the day I worked as an agricultural labour, from the day I went into construction works for digging foundations, from the day I stood in the red hot sun the whole day for Rs.30, From the day I woke up at 3:30 AM, and finished the day at 01 AM, on holidays to make sure I find an auto to drive, from the day I started doing home tuitions, from the day I joined Infosys, from the day I travelled onsite..... i would put my ass into working and say to myself, you have GOT to do it no matter what comes

.......and you know what.........

and it all worked.

...I am a success today :)


but, this one thing.......

Cricket...

One thing thats been failing me even though i try to my best efforts..........

its kinda hard to digest...

I know i will get there some day......

but its just too hard to digest that I am failing.

Sri doesnt fail.

To - Dear Diary

April, June, July passed by,

There is not a day in this year, that I haven't thought about you my dear .

Every now and then, I take you out and my pen, In my bed i sit steady, open the page and then get ready -

I cant help thinking, what difference would it make to record my days in you, I always see one answer -
"No bloody difference in your life mate! A girl comes, a girl goes,
You work a report, you review a plan, and the life goes on and on and on"

I always think, how would i make a difference, and then the answer comes, "YOU WRITE THE BLOODY DIARY". And thats when -

Those are the days my dear, I come to you with a hope

Time and again, I take you out and my pen,
In my bed I sit steady, open the page and then get ready.

The Uncanny Movie

A Dream!

uuf...Dreams are baffling and weird! Not sure if thats just in my case!!

I hear People say the idiom "Dreams coming true",and i wish hard that my dreams, should never come true :)

I vaguely remember my dream of last night, which i decided to title as "An Uncanny Movie".:)
Long long ago, once upon a time,Us, the great volunteers of Project Parties, decided that we should have a project outing.


Aftera loooooooot of meetings,we decide that we should go out for a movie.


So, we get into the bus,(which is a Metro express bus of Hyderabad :)). I sit at the window seat and the bus is completely filled up.


After a half an hour, i realise, the person sitting beside me is Vinayak. Was shocked to see the person i am travelling with from half an hour, suddenly turns out to be a person i know. But, that was not the end!!I look at the next seat, there are Avni & Sujata! I could not believe by eyes!!


Trying to coming out of the shock that i did not notice them before, i look back in the bus and was floored!!



The bus is absolutely empty!!


The bus i was struggling to get into before, has suddenly become empty!!


After an hour, we reach the Movie theatre.


And there, the whole theatre is booked just for us!! This MUST be a dream :)

Not knowing what more to expect, I enter the theatre!! And yyes, I was not disappointed!! The arrangement for people to sit, is made on benches!!The benches were like one of those benches in schools, where we two benches joined, lower one to sit & the upper one to keep books!!





Trying to settle down,I sat on a looong bench, with my friends (I don't remember any faces :( ).

Suddenly, a tall, creepy man, who i am not even sure belongs to our group,comes to me and asks me if i can switch places with him!! Very reluctantly, I go to the direction, he pointed.

Horrifying!!!! I find myself in a pure white endless cabin!! Finding completely contrasting to the dark movie hall, I felt a chill right up my spine, and walked straight back, without even trying to think what it was!!!

Luckily, i came back to the Movie hall. Now, I see people engrossed in the movie with their tiffin boxes open!!

I stand still, and i start observing people, moving their benches towards the screen!!The movement started slowly, and in no time I see people running towards the screen with the benches on their head!!!

Still dreaded with the images of white cabin, and not wanting to be left behind, I pulled, a bench from the stack, and ran towards the screen, with the bench on my shoulder!!


I reach the base of the screen with the bench, only to see people chit chatting with each other not showing any minute interest on the movie!! Me, with a bench on my shoulder, was dumbstruck,seeing the reaction of the crowd!! The same guys who were running with their benches on their heads, are sitting here relaxed, chatting with each other!!

Cursing them deep down with the worst possible words, I Threw the bench on the base of the screen,Jumped up to the base, and sat on the bench, almost in the
touching distance to the screen!!!

My dream movie journey ended abruptly there, near the screen, as i had to see another dream (Which is private :)).
