Am I confused??

I want a state wherein I am

neither happy nor sad
neither smiling nor crying
neither casual nor angry
neither alone nor together
neither occupied by thoughts nor completely blank
neither active nor lazy
neither alive nor dead
neither traveling nor sitting idle
neither living for myself nor for others
.
.
.
.
.
.
neither with expectations nor without them

oops... how many expectations I have from a single life that I have!!! With all these thoughts or expectations or watever, how is it I am LIVING my life!!!
I had lost all my present moments thinking of wat I want from life..Isnt it???
Though, the truth is life has some mystery hidden in it each moment. be it simple or complex. And never gonna be the way I want it from deep within ME :) oh no... why should I want anything !!!

I should accept anything and everything without 2nd thoughts.. Just go ahead and live every moment.. (hehe..Expectation 1)

Wen is my confused mind gonna understand ths !!

May be soon (hahaha.. another expectation!!!)

Oh man.. Expectations goes on... Or may be I should look at the definition for Expectation.

(Source : Wikipedia)
In the case of uncertainty, expectation is what is considered the most likely to happen. An expectation, which is a belief that is centred on the future, may or may not be realistic. A less advantageous result gives rise to the emotion of disappointment. If something happens that is not at all expected it is a surprise. An expectation about the behavior or performance of another person, expressed to that person, may have the nature of a strong request, or an order.


Hmm..Is it like expectations can be from myself and not others...

Well... I am confused. :)

Be Right Back

After-effects of Newyork

Does God have a role in making human beings(whom I consider as God's greatest wonder) cruel? If not, when is the lesson taught for such people?

Lost cycle....

"Ma...i should think abt a new 2-wheeler. Should be a comfortable choice compared to bglore autos for a 2 km.." A girl in bglore said this to her mom. Answer as expected was a big Noooo. No other way but to postpone the idea.Later one day her brother had to leave to US. "Dei anna.. anyways u r moving out of India for a while. Why dont I take ur 2-wheeler till then to bglore?" .. "No way" was the instant reply..Poor gal.

Finally she was left with the choice of eco-friendly, cheaper,safer(??), healthier mode of transport - Cycle. One fine day, when her parents had come to bglore, she bought a new cycle. She atleast felt relieved that there wont be any more fights with bglore autowalas.

On the same day the cycle was purchased, her dad performed some pooja to it. Her cycle was decorated with garlands near the handle bar. Thinking that it will not hamper the ride, she chose not to take off that garland herself. All she knew about her cycle was, there would be a garland in front and it belongs to F1 series of Hero Cycle.She was not aware of the Font size of F1 in cycle. But when she bought the cycle, that was the first word that caught her eyes.

Finally, she had a self-managed mode of transport to office. It was not as easy as expected. She had to stare at 2-wheeler, auto guys who came on her way. Sometimes she thought if it was a bad option to come in cycle to office, just for the 2 slopes on the way to office. It was tiring and she was completely drenched with sweat before she could reach office. 5 days to office in cycle dropped to 3 days to office.

If there was a chance to skip the cycling to office, she felt relieved sometimes. But she made up her mind to go in cycle atleast 3 days a week.

One wednesday, she had gone to cycle in office. Evening, before she could start from office, it started raining. Friends around suggested her to leave the cycle in office. She thought it was not a bad idea after all. With the confidence that it would be safe, she left for the day. Same continued the next day. She didnt bother to ensure if the cycle was safe. Company had staff to take care of them. why should she??

It was friday. If she is not taking her cycle that day, it would stay in office for 2 days. Bglore weather in the evenings would always tempt her to go on a long cycle ride. she didnt want to miss it that weekend. Though she was tired, she gathered all her strength mentally and physically,to leave the office in cycle.

She happily left to the parking space. Many people do come to office in cycle. She said to herself "Look at that. Someone has a cycle with same colour as mine".

Happily thinking these, she started searching for hers. Oops. where is it? Someone had stolen it. There s no safety in office. What are security guards for? Its not even a month old. How will she say this in her house??? All thoughts flashed through her mind within seconds.

She called the security people and informed about the lost cycle.

They : When did u leave it here, Mam?
She: 2 days back
They : How will it look like?
She: Its Hero model. Maroon colour. I never ever dreamt of my cycle being lost while in office.
They: Wait madam. Why dont u call someone in house and confirm if the cycle is in house
She: Do u think I am such a fool to hav my cycle left in house and searching for it here in office? what s this response!! I would prefer talking to someone at higher level.

She was confused and confused the guards too. She was not in her senses.She would feel better if someone came for help. She made her colleague come to the parking space. "I never expected this to happen." - she was on the verge of crying.

Security guards again asked her "Madam. How will your cycle look like?"

She: How do I explain them!!!why do they ask the same question again and again!!!

Her colleague came to her rescue. He pointed out to the same cycle that she had seen few minutes before. "Something of this type right?" .

She replied "exactly.. something of this type"

Guards came near the cycle to take a look at it.

She came around the cycle once and finally started shouting .

"hey wait wait wait...1 min. I think this should be mine"

Others:????????????

She took out her cycle key and tried to unlock it. It did :)

Easy to imagine the reaction of everyone around.

Security head "Mam. Next time, if you plan to leave your cycle at office, please let me know so that I can help you in spotting your cycle"

Now,all security guards are her friends expecting her to come in cycle everyday. :P

Her friends teased her asking how on earth a gal will not know how her cycle looked like...

Her reply: Listen...Its not my mistake. I always identified it with the garland in the front. Someone had taken it off wen i had left it in office...

!!@@$$$$$$!!!!

wanna aprreciate her for this???

Search for that gal...And as u all know,its not me for sure....:P

Boon or Curse????

what is it expected out of a gal? wat a gal life is??? wat is she allowed to do? wat is she not allowed to do?? the latter list seems to be very big rite?? how s a gal different from boy? her physical abilities or disabilities(how do i call it??)..was it a boon or curse?? wat did the god have in his mind when he made the gal?? did he want a woman to be special and gave her extra capabilities?? taking much pain to bring a soul to this world is not easy rite? Is this truly appreciated? is the worth of it felt by all? then why is it that women are never allowed to be independent? Was God responsible for the way women was before or is now or will be!!! who knows?? Why are women alone expected to manage kids? what is a guy's role in this??? Why should a gal do all the cooking and household activites?? Is this a rule posed by God? Is God so cruel to do this? Doesnt it look like a practice that seemed to have originated millions of generations back? Was it a result of a fear that men had seeing women capabilities. Did they try to supress the women? Or women themselves chose this way of living. Are women so fools to choose a dependent life?Is this not a practice that was made a tradition, culture or watever it is...when is it the whole of society gonna understand this?? Managing house cannot be a great task. But isnt it true that there are many dreams of women buried in this...Did anyone care to know what the dream of a women in their house is like? Did anyone feel that women have their own wishes? Did anyone let her live the life the way she wanted to be?? Who cares??? Even the gal doesnt. All she can do is to crib abt it. Who s the reason for the way the society is? Too many unanswered and never ending questions!!!!Where is the conclusion for it?? Who should make it conclude? Women should take the initiative? Did she? Not all women. Why is it so? Are they not interested in change? are they restricted from change? wat can restrict them? Every women has an answer for it and it would be different and ofcourse, a valid point from her side:) But not a normal person can understand it. Change has started approaching and its not too far... :) My grandmother made sure that her girl should have a better life than hers. My mother made sure that i enjoy my life better than her. And i would do the same for my gal. The change is one generation after the other. :) It has to be slow and steady

Women, who need to be proud of being a WOMAN was made to feel for it. God wanted to make woman a more respectable being by giving her more capabilities. She was made delicate. But then, God forgot that men have sixth sense. They misutilized gal's power and went too far in misutilizing it that people never thought it to be one. Women need not feel bad for it. Be proud of being a woman. Its a boon :)


PS: These were the random thoughts in my mind and TRIED to give a shape to it for getting it posted here

My First Trek to Savandurga

Blogging abt my first trek almost a month after the trek :) . After a lengthy discussion and sorting out all possible weekends, v finally arrived at May 31st for our trekking and our first team(??) outing in Oracle. Thanks Prakash for choosing Savandurga and Anuj for arranging all stuff. It was an awesome experience.
First, few lines abt the place.Savandurga is a hill 60 km west of Bangalore off the Magadi road.The hill is famous for a temple and is also believed to be among the largest monolith hills in the world. The hill rises to 1226 m above mean sea level and forms a part of the Deccan plateau.


30th May 2008
"Hey I m bit scared abt trekking..Did u see the blogs abt Savandurga? Bears and other animals..omg. The rock is 70 degrees steep at few places it seems. ".
"No..v ll hav fun there..No worries.."

:) Diviya,Me,Samridhi kept saying the same almost whenever v met the day before trek. Evening, 7(Me, samridhi,Diviya,Prakash,Anuj,Harishi,Nikhil) of us met in cafe for a short meeting ;)(Surprisingly,Samridhi was awake the whole of ths meeting). Few took up responsibilities of bringing bread, first-aid kit,etc... It was decided to assemble in front of Lex around 5 in the morning(midnight for few of us..)
All set for the trip... :)

31st May 2008:
Though our plan was to strt by 5 or 5.30, V managed to leave Lex by 6 and reached Savandurga by almost 7.30. The most active participants of the trek are DOGS of Savandurga. As I m very much fond of dogs, I keep screaming wenevr they come near us. (rather, wenver I see them). But somehow, convinced myself that these dogs are gonna be with us till v reach top. But so sweet of those dogs, as they showed us the way.

There are 2 routes to reach the top. Route-1 and Route-2. Route-1 was for beginners and 2 for advanced trekkers.
"Hey, lets try route-2. Tht would be gr8"
Of course, Samridhi's voice. And all our response was "U mad or wat??" :) Finally v strted our trek by 8. Alas!! After 5 to 10 min, v realized we were on Route-2.. Thank god. Nikhil traced transmission lines and soon v were on Route-1.

Climbing up the hill took more than 4 hrs I guess. V stopped evry 5 min to take snaps and meanwhile rest. Samridhi, Prakash, Anuj, Nikhil would never leave a rock. Diviya calls Samridhi "Madam Curie". Yeah..she is.. She would try anything and evrything.. :) We reached a fort after an hour. Diviya was hesitant to climb further. Somehow after all motivation from Prakash, she agreed and v continued our journey towards Nandhi on top. V had brkfast in a tiny Mandir. Indeed, a very small one. :)






Ah...I forgot to mention abt tht 70 degress steep part of our trek. V completed that b4 brkfast :) .Cheers to Diviya(for her determination) and Prakash (for helping her out) here...U rock Diviya!!!!!

V followed the transimission lines and dogs and, finally reached the Mandir on top around 12.30. Nikhil needs appreciation for his enthusiasm. Evrytime, Prakash,Nikhil or Harish would go, analyse the path and would help us out. The way Nikhil would motivate us needs to be mentioned here.

"This is very easy. Jus imagine that u are in Tavarakere Main Road and walk."

Yeah...he climbs up the hill(walks!!!) like that only. :) But he expected the same from us too. A real difficult task. :(
The mind-blowing view from top is really worth the effort v put in.Nature's beauty is at its best(!!!) all thru the way to top.

Now is the time for us to capture all possible snaps. (Yuva pose, Hum saath saath hain, Titanic. watever crap(;) ) tht v could think of... ) Jumping pose is the ultimate fun. Anuj,Me and Samridhi wanted a snap in which all 3 of us are in air. None of the others were able to capture it. Thanks to Nikhil for bringing Chapathis, Panneer and Aloo gravy. V had our lunch and strted our downward journey by 1.30.

Anuj was bothered tht v need to descend down as early as possible as it would be tough if it starts raining.Thts true. Diviya and Harish got slipped wen they stepped on water for a moment. Fortunately, the climate was good tht day..Neither too sunny nor raining.

Descending down was verrrrrrry easy except for our most favorite 70 degrees part. Right frm the time v climbed up ths "70 degress" part , we were worried abt facing tht huge rock while descending down. Steps kinda impression were there on tht rock which helped us in coming down. but there was another problem waiting for us. (Not us...For me!!). DOGS. why the hell they want to come down with me, tht too here only???? But Prakash was our saviour. He stopped the dog on top until v descended down tht "70 degrees" rock... The way he stopped the dog is chanceless(:)). A picture here would explain better.


Thereafter, v managed to come down easily.But I was surprised,if I only climbed up ths tht morning. Finally v completed our trek around 4. It strted raining soon after v left Savandurga :).

From a very beginner of trekking, few advices. Dont carry too much weight. Carry Glucose and atleast 2 litres of water each. Dont forget to carry first-aid kit. And also a spray for sprain and cramps. That was the most utilized resource(by Prakash and Samridhi) after water during our trek. Carry breads or rotis and not heavy food.Thats it...

We stopped at Kaadu Manae, a restaurant near Ramnagar for snacks on the way back. V also went to Big Banyan tree. V reached Lex by 7.30 after a tiring and exciting trip.

On the whole, it was an amazing, evergreen trip. Thanks to all guys who provided shuttle service and helped us in evry possible way. Seriously, had they not helped, v gals would not hav made it...


Waiting for yet another trekking experience!!!!! ;)

Few words about me...

hi all...



This is Sangeetha... completed B.E- CSE in College Of Engineering... waiting to join Oracle...(yet to receive my offer letter)..



being vetti in ths hols made me enter the blog world... to say a few words abt me....appears to be a pandoo and silent at first sight...but opposite to those who r close to me... sensitive at times...always feeling free to show all sorts of emotions to dear ones...(which turns out to be a problem most of the times...)..thnks for all the frnds who put up with it....


my biggest asset in my life is my family and frnds.. i hav an elder brother working in Accenture...the way he cares and wants me to behave like.....chanceless..pothi pothi valakaraan..


and then my frnds...without our gang "SPICY6" ( rams,ramya,me,sasi,savi,vinu), my college life would hav been meaningless...aaru per senthu suthatha edam illa...pannatha velai illa...its hard to see us separated in coll....how could i forget the moment me and vinu cried in happiness when all of us got placed in Infy together......but still...how long its possible to stay together????dream jobs separated us...but as a saying claims.."friends can grow separately without growing apart"...true in our case...


wat else?????


Ah!!! i forgot.....My mobile needs few words in ths post as i hardly be without it...i m expecting it to cry one day for the way i use it......but always my chellam...
