so one fine morning i was in my dream weaving bedroom doing some mischiefs as usual with my lappy on with loud beats of song flowing through the speakers.
suddenly bell rang downstairs.i did not give a glance as i knw parents are there to take care whoevr may come down.so i jus listend to it and ignored and went back to my daily mischiefs.i could hear some male voice downstairs.yeh i undrstd that some one has come down and my dad is having a conversation.jus aftr 10mins power failure.I thout oh my mischiefs gone end here,i wont be able to listen to music, i wont be able to work on my lappy.as it was really hot those days i was not able to sit upstairs in my room without power.so i walked down.i saw a person working on a switchboard down. i jus saw and i aksed pa. then he said there is some connection failure so he is jus working on it. i said ok ...and in the back of my mind i was thinkin ok 'what next'.. as i cannot do ny kind of mischiefs as mains r off i thout i will read a book i had with me.i sat downstairs in my sofa and i was reading book 'silver'.
The man at work suddenly took a box which was lying on the floor and he climbed the stairs. my dad too followed him.after sometime they both returned .by that time was 1'o clock at noon.now he is done with the work and he switched on the mains.
I was happy.i ran to my room switched on the lappy and started my work.
time is turning 2.
"ding dong ding dong................."whts that . i could hear that terriffic call bell sounding very near to my ears.i went mad i ran down and asked my pa what was that. then both started laughing at me.only then i undrstd that it ws the call bell for me upsatirs..i nevr noticed that the box men was handing had something hidden inside to make my heart pounding.
from that day on ...every day and night my parents scared me ringing the bell...that is supposed to be a calling bell but it has turned to be a terriffic wake up call for me each day morning from my bed...i jump from my bed each day with fear that the bell is gone ring so better wake up before that and ran down so that my mom wont wake me up terrifiying..

Reading is a hobby or passion for many.why i don't have such interest or why am i not cultivating a habit of that kind.this was always in the back of my mind.One day after office I was chatting to my friend as usual. today topic is about my lack of interest in reading and how to improve those skills.I was asking this to me for the past few years,i had tried many a times to force myself to read book,magazines or newspaper.may be the interest stays for 1 or 2days and it remained the same as ever. Now that i really felt bad, i asked myself why am i not able to read atleast a single book. While chatting my friend said u can very well create the interest and what he suggested is not to go for high level novels or newspapers,just that find some good books which can be interesting so that u will never feel to keep it aside without glancing through. RD is simple in language and more informative.Its more interesting why because each page of it give away different stories that talk about life's experiences and make u think.Yeah i thought it would be good. so that i will not have the feeling of thick leafs of books which needed to be read through and make myself bored.RD seems to be just 50 pages and interesting and can be finished off in sometime. So with all the faith i started reading RD.I started reading,i could say i started reading for the first time.
next day while i was in cab with my Telugu friend,i always noticed her carry some sort of story book with her so that she could ward off the boring time in the cab till she reach her house..i approached her and asked her 'haii do u have some good books which is interesting' ?she replied 'yeah sure but what kinda books u read!' i said something which is interesting and i dont want books which have lots of pages so that i find it difficult to complete.
"haii I heard from my friend that chetan baghats 5 point some 1 is good. so i directly asked her did she has any of his.she replied yeah i have 'one night at call centre'.she said she will bring it for me. i was so happy and once i reached home i conveyed the news to my friend.
i was waiting for her to hand over the book to me. i pounced onto and read thru the book...i liked my inner thirst to read..while returning in cab i was so excited about reading.i don't know what happened to me suddenly. i started improving my interest towards books. in just 2days i finished reading and searched for other books. then i got a book named Silver by Norma Frazer...
now the book i am reading is Sydney Sheldon's ' are you afraid of the dark' yet to complete..
i am anamateur in this field still will love to read through a couple of it..
i still remember in my btech days i tried to read many books but some how i never completed any.I felt really bad for the aversion i have created towards reading at that time.now i have changed.
Now that I feel proud of myself for taking such a decision that i will read books now on. days passed on i dont know how i gradually i found interest in reading whenever i find some idle time..I am happy for myself in creating such kind of interest in me....

everything went fine...
And finally the day has come..Morning i gave my exams..i did it well...and set my mind for the recruitment...Company ppl were supposed to be at our college by 2'oclock sharp..so i had to bunk my lunch and make myself ready for the process and reach the venue..but as their flight got delayed, the HR and Marketing head were not able to make it on time.. had to wait...but never knew it would be for another 2hrs..
by 4'oclock they reached the campus and they were invited to Hall of Fame ..Pre placement talk started,thy were giving an introduction abt the company so that the students get an idea abt their products and what thy do..as usual i found the pre talks boring and as it lasted for another one n 1/2 hrs and as it ws evening time i dozzed off...once i woke up frm my dream world time ws 5.30..talk got over...HR want just the ones who were attending the process to stayback..rest can disperse.
i remained in the hall alon with other 18candidates..thy gave us serial nos and took us to the 1st round which was GD..GD round went fine..topic ws "Braindrain in Kerala"..as we were the fellow mates we supported each other and gave chance for each and every one to give away their ideas on the topic..i too blabbered what all came to my mind...2nd round ws situation round..in that we were given a situation and we had to write on it in not less than 800 words and then we had to present the topic..
finally 7 got shortlisted for the interview..
I ws the 6th to get intrviewd..time was alreay half past 7...ws really hungry as i dint take lunch..so ws literally relaxing having 'puffs' and 'juice' bout by our coordinator...
first person got in and aftr 15mins she ws out..enquired to her abt intrw..she said nothng to worry and each one b4 me who got interviewed gav the same response..
Next is me...Time is 10....i was mentally getting ready to be called in..waiting outside the room..but i had to wait for anothr 15mins as thy wr on call with some person from head office..once it got over i got in to the intrw room with a beautiful smile on my face,..
MM - marketing head and HR invited me and asked me to sit down and be comfortable..
MM had my resume and selection round marks...he ws going thru it and nodding casually...HR ws staring at me like nything..undrstd these things happen at 10clock at nite...its first time in my life i was attending an intrw at this hr..though i ws uncomfrble frm inside still i had to manage...suddenly
There starts...
Hr: whats the response from ur friends abt the intrw..?

Me: how ever it could be i can manage..

Me:(i was literaly doomed,he seemed to be very excited)
MM:ok tell me which is ur favrt subject in Enggrng.
[I was not at all prepared for a technical round..]
He started off with basics and asked few questions on microprocessor and my engg project..
some how i managed...
then he moved on to DSP and control sytems.then i ws caught,i was like i am going to mess up my intrw..I blabbered someting an all which came to my mind,still i appeared confident..
MM:(browsing thru) oh u have got enough of knwldg in Windows DOS i suppose??why don't u help me create a directory in DOS..

My attitude ws lik now im jus gonna let it go whtever it may happen...thy were saying abt my poor performance during the previous intrw,thy asked me few more questions and i answrd very boldly as if i give a dammn to all this...still i ws lil worried from inside..thy let me go in 10mins time...
Time ws 12 thy said will give the results thru individual calls..
i was ashamed to face them aftr the intrw..but wen thy abt to leav thy jus left a msg for me saying we jus had a nice time wth u..is it tht thy pulled my leg??i suppose nooo....i jus smiled and wished them a very good nite sleep...
Upon god i ws not at all expecting their response to be positive,,,but i ws fortunate enough tht in 2days time thy let me know the results tht i ws shortlisted along with other 3....

True friends are god’s gift. God propose who all to be in his magic world and his magic wand spreads the fragrance of friendship which mesmerizes the souls. Finally they are made friends forever. And I am happy that I am one among those. I am gifted with a great friend whom I have no words to express with.
Our story starts here…………
Long back to the good old (b.tech) college days. I still rember my foot steps to college campus. At the very beginning I could say it was something really horrible. I never liked to be in the campus. Nearly struggling to find new friends and mingle with them. I had a bad character in myself like never strike up a conversation with anyone and this could be a probable reason that friends around me think I am a person with such an attitude. Still I could manage to be one among the great gang “Qool Gals” in our hostel and loved to be with them all the time. Months passed. Now its 3rd sem and we have our college trip to banglore, kodai... Till then I had not created ny good friends in class rather I could say not ny dear friends whom I could share all my feelings...
My only friend of hostel gang who was in my class was not able to make it to the trip. Poor soul all alone… From school days till college I never missed any trips but this time never felt like going… was in the brink of confusion…finally decided to be a part of it. In bus worried about friend’s departure in the near by place and once the person left i literally started crying… (weep...weep) few minutes then 2of my classmates came and sat beside me consoling...may be gods wish….we started chatting and I don’t know how I started forgetting wht I been through…* is the person who extended hands with all * love an concern …is it a miracle or is it a headache ( giggles) to my sweet friend. There started our friendship and I never let * go ever…
* A person whom I see or stands next to my parents…who loves and cares me more than anyone else…who is very worried about each and every stride I take…very much concerned...always wish only good to happen to me..person who has influenced me a lot in my life...And till today I never looked back for another friendship like which I have with *and I can proudly say *is my Best best best friend ever who can never be replaced with other…
Each and every moment with * can’t be forgotten nor * will let me forget it...Its sure nobody in this world will be so comfortable like both of us... My reflection, my conscience, part of me…none understands me like *…a real gem of a character …I am blessed to have a great friend like *…I looove u lots dear…………
These lines send to me really drive my heart away...
And then I thought of you....
That clings despite the winds that blow.
Fighting ice, and snow, and winter's stings
Hanging on right through till spring.
So I guess that's what you are to me -
Dear you mean a lot to me..How far i go however life changes i will be there beside you forever as a dear and old friend whom you can trust on.I know i hurt you lots through my doings still its all out of my love towards you...Forgive me if i overdo...hehee...Simple your best buddy...Laxzz...
