I Me Myself. This post is certainly not about me, so might be wondering why the topic is I Me Myself just go through the post you will get to know about it…. Be yourself on whatever you do, just don’t worry what your others might think of you, just lead your life the way you love to lead. Don’t ever allow people to hurt your feeling, thats the most important thing you would have to maintain in yourself. Take this example, I do like to have food in my hand, I really do not enjoy my food when I have it on spoon. So we get good occasions like a team meet for dinner what should I do? Should I have my food using my spoon just because every one have it or should I have food in my own way? I certainly prefer to have it with my hand rather having it with spoon, but I do see many following the former… It is really does not matter at all….
Be your own you need not have to think what others would think of you. Similarly I can quote many such instance where people act in artificial way rather than being their own. Do not try to follow someone because you may lose your own natural behavior, who knows there would be something big sleeping within you. Do not bind yourself to the so called “Etiquettes” I am not going totally against etiquettes it is required but do not allow it to overtake you. “Live your life the way you want to live rather than the way others want you to live”, fly freely do not get into any kind of bondage, After all its your life rather than any thing else.

Life in one second does this title seem to be awkward like what could be done in one second…. For people who think “what could be done in a sec, there are many thing that could be done in one sec”. I ‘ll start here - Everybody is blessed with good talented mind (of course there are exceptions) but most of them are good minded, so we do get dreams right?.
The thing is how we mould our dreams coming in our mind into reality. We get a fantastic idea in our mind in a flash and we leave it without converting it into reality. Heard people saying I wanted to be this, be that so on….. but why they have not achieved what they wanted to be? why did their dream blew away? These are the Q’s which still do remain with most of the people. I ‘ll tell you that they dint take a proper split second decision which they had to take it… If you look into people who have succeeded they would have taken right decision at the right time and hence they could achieve what they wanted to achieve…. I do stress the word achieve because the feeling which you get after achieving something is really like <> (don’t have any word to describe the same). So whenever you take up one decision please sit back and think what is it you are doing is it anywhere related to my dream. If the answer is Yes go ahead and fight for it. If not why struggle to take up something which is not to be deserved. I wish people to dream a lot and try to achieve the dream of whatever they wanted to become. I promise you that it will change the way you live. After all life is full of changes right :])

Day in and day out… what does this blog mean, it’s just about a day in my life in Hyderabad. Early morning when 7610(my mobile) alarm rings, guess what the time is 8:30 am its defiantly early morning for me. Never had to rush to office as we have flexi time, one important thing is that I would have to prepare my breakfast. I me myself is the cook so would have to prepare some delicious food for myself. Most of the time it would be kelloggs, bread toast, maggi, bread and butter with different combinations everyday….
Have to wash my dishes, cloths and have to leave to office… In the horrible traffic, will have to take a smart ride on my fiero to office… Once in there have to do some work for some time and go for lunch. Take some food in office or outside hotel (My favorite chicken biriyani) and roam around the office for some time(looking out for some birds :D) but wont be able to find any good one, thats the sad part of it. Do some orkut scrapping and start our Quake3 Arena on network, it would be great battle for lives. Spartan (my character in Quake) would lose most of the time under the hands of Dodge, Hercules, Neogan, Shady etc…. but at times Spartan do manage to win… but never won against Dodge. But I am very sure that I will frage dodge 20 times one day and win against him… Still early days for me in Quake3. Q3DM17 space is one of my favorite arena but still manage to lose very badly on that everyday…. Around 7 would have to start checking my mails and do some work for may be up to 9. Have to hunt for my dinner along with my teammies…. Back to room around 10:30 will open up my lappy… without this I would be really bored. My lappy keeps me occupied up to 1 am at least…….. and get back to sleep. This is what I do day in and day out…..

June 13th 2005 - Atlast I have also “joined with million of IT professionals” is what I thought on that day, when I stepped on to DSL software Ltd…. It all started with a beautiful training in St Joseph’s College of Engineering…… One thing which I enjoyed there was the food which was ultimate rather than the long and boring training sessions….
Did with my two months of training in chennai and was all set to join my camp in Bangalore…. A land of IT professionals, I was like a “Drop of water in the sea”…. Settled well over there is a nice 2BHK flat [rented one :)] along with my good friends. Hmmmm moved into project immediately. Got to meet more people over there and project was ok for me….things were moving well over a year and half (got bored with the same kind of work in that project)…..
As every other IT guy wanted to switch over….. Attended interview for Oracle India PVt. Ltd…. on Aug 20 06 and got selected….. Oh my Goodness I couldn’t believe that I was into such a big MNC….. Hmm had to move over to Hyd and it’s like a heaven being out here….. The single word “Heaven” should explain everything about my experience in Oracle…….
There is always two sides for a coin some +ves and some -ves happened during these 2 yrs……..
+ves which I have learnt is I learned how to lead my life alone, so long I had been within the hut of my parents. Now that I have come out I can see how the entire world behaves…..
-ves had to miss out weekends with my very beloved friends, their love and affection(both chennai and bangalore friends) but use to visit them time and again. But thats how life is….. we cant have everything everytime……

Goa….. Nothing short of excitement, a wonderful place to spend time with your girl friend But it so happened we went as bunch of guys (11 Men Army) as I call my Goa Team.
Day 1 - Spend at Kolva it was a wonderful beach… Stayed in a beautiful resort good ambiance, excellent swimming pool as well, felt like I should always be in the swimming pool. Went for Bird watching in evening along the shores of kolva. Had a good dinner over the beach resort….
Day2 - People were fresh after a good sleep, started from Kolva and went towards North Goa to Panjim. WOW beaches all over the place…. played like mad dog over the beaches and also went for a beach ride .
Day3 - Went for site seeing, went to St. Xaviours Church much famous church over in Goa. Also covered 4 to 5 beaches while site seeing….Came back to Bagha beach, where I had one of my memorable moments of my life….. Guess what Stephen was flying for very first time….. I went for para gliding, it was awesome, they took us in water bike to some distance in the sea and from there moved into the boat where I was tied up with para-shoot and was let out in the air…… Oh my goodness I was flying…… I could see sun in front of me, and see the land far away and also see sea below me…..Felt like I am the master of this world having everything under control….. Then came back to shore and we started to play RUGBY……….. Had our own rules while playing ……..Game ended in a draw score line stood 3-3.
Day4 - Had to travel back over the mini bus…….. long long journey back to Hyderabad.. Carried home memories which were everlasting……….
