When i was in 12th standard i said Good bye to my childhood..
At UG to my adulthood...

But during all these stages my heart never cried..

But today as i sit and ponder over the past my heart aches...Tears roll by....

But why ??

Itz time to say a final GOOD BYE...
A Final Good Bye...

Itz time for me to say GOOD BYE for ever to my STUDENT LIFE...
A life filled with many memories..Many moments which i cherish...Many incidents which touched my heart...Many frenz who changed my life...Many teachers who inspired to me to dream high....All dis comes to an end..

From now on i tred alone...
I walk alone...

As i pen down these feelings i wish all my frenz, fr my days of KG to MBA days, all the very best in their lives...

MBA days...

After a gud n memorable Sat, itz time to get back to some work. Prof Luce’s Business project is due for submission.. Tonyte midnyte being the deadline for project.. n v have just started the project.. The business is abt Real estate classifieds.. Whn v gave the proposal for this business v didn’t realize dat dis business proposal z feasible in reality.. V started workng on the project… Each of us split the work among ourselves.. All last minute work..:d

In the afternoon it was time 2 go 2 Prof Luce house for lunch.. He has invited all of us 4 lunch.. He had come down 2 UC 2 pick us up in batches.. A small kid with superman doll in his hand invited me.. His name is Thomas.. He z Luce’s grandson.. A cute guy.. Later I realized dat in future all gals must b very careful wid dis kiddo…

V had gud lunch..

N now the project z on its final stages.. Dis would b my final proejct in OMSB life.. infact as a student i will b submitting for one last final project for the final moment..No more late nyte sessions.. No more last min work..

As I sit infront of my sys I realize dat v just have 2 more days 2 finish our course.. dat means by Wednesday nyte v r all MBA grads ready 2 enter the corporate world.. Unfortunately v don’t have jobs in our hands as the H1B in US z closed 4 dis year.. Back in India many of my frenz r now employed..

The past 18 months z filled wid many sweet memories.. I was shy n calm guy whn I entered the colj for the very first day.. Dilip Padath, Anurag Nain, Agastya and Shamir were my room mates in Art of Living for 2 days.. It was Seema and Pujitha wid whom v used 2 hang out n talk during these 2 days..

The ragging sessions… My “out of box” speech for Class rep..:) hehee.. the nytes v spent @ baristas.. Doddi’s parties.. Anna’s food.. Dosa point.. Sharawati…

It was fun…Shit loads of fun..

I stayed wid Sreeramulu for the first 6 months.. An awesome guy who thnks wid his mind n works wid his heart.. Though v both were room mates it wasnot until the raggng sessions got over dat v really hit off.. Fr den on each day was more memorable n more sweeter.. The dinners @ Reddy Mess, second shows @ Radha Krishna Theatre, driving all the way to Inox 2 watch a stupid movie.. the journey was wonderful.. infact marvelous..

Arindam Sarkar..As his name so z the guy.. It was one of the beautiful nytes in Bangalore dat v both set out on my byke.. Infact he was the first guy who came wid me on my byke.. As v went on talking abt the issues of the colj n almost climbing the Hebbal flyover.. THUUUDD…I banged the vehicle into a Luna.. Thr was almost a big fight but thank god nothng serious hapnd… Fr thr v went out 2 a pub n came back.. Fr dat day the journey wid dis guy has been wonderful..

Now comes Sir..!! Anand Moses.. The most underrated guy in my class.. A guy wid right amount of attitude i his head.. V both hit off so well all thru the 18 months.. V share common interests n same frequency.. He had been my flat mate for 12 months.. the A jokes whch v laughd at whn v were workng on group projects..

Surronded by all heavy speakers n woofers.. Ek dam stylish… 24*7 entertainment guaranteed… V all SHARE thngs..:)

Sauvik Gosh… The vice captain of cric team… Any body has any doubt regarding any thng @ OMSB… Sauvik z always thr 2 help.. An awesome presenter… No need 2 explain his acads skills..

Kiran.P.Reddy.. He z the sec of the batch.. An absolute no non-sense guy… A real business man in the entire batch..

Karthik n Ramesh.. It was during ARP time dat I n Ramesh came together.. Always has a MODEL in his mind… Very hard workng chap.. Karthik in short z a CEO in makng…

Last but not least Abhijith Majumbdar… Sometimes SRK, some tmes Laloo.. The mimic of OMSB.. my bench mate too.. Full time jokes…

The list goes on… Konark, Nikil Pappu, Panki my elder bro, Sujith, Ankit Shroff, Pritesh, Gujju (Khane ke liye kuch hain kya)..:) Gaga…Sravan…

The journey wouldn’t have been more exciting wid out these guys arnd..

Comng 2 gals.. Pujitha.. A sweet chubby gal… Tnx 2 Jaya Tripati.. It was in POM project v first met.. But it was during the Internship tme dat our frenship blossomed.. the funny conversations v had as v walkd 2 the stationery 2 buy polo to the long hourly serious conversations.. she was patient enuff 2 lissen 2 my crap...
Fr dat day till date each day was filled wid lot of energy n enthusiasm.. So rude…Wat da.. Datz her lingo u c..:)
Tnx 4 being thr...

Ajita Kopparapu… I can never forget the first day of OMSB.. Thr was dis gal wid Pink hair.. In my 22 years of life I have neva seen a gal wid Pink hair other than in movies.. I should admit dat she carries herself equally well.. But it was during the end of Nov v came together.. Fr den on evry eve v spent @ barista in Sadashiv Nagar n some tmes @ MG Road..

Bincy… A terrific cook.. Equally good person.. The days @ US wouldn’t have been more fun wid out her.. The stupid jokes at whch v all laugh for in apt..The boring days v all spent watchng Friends agan n agan..:) it was gr8..

Seema Menda…My first project mate.. The only gal who can stop a prof in between his talk n argue…J Highly motivated gal.. Very high energy levels n will power…

The pink gal, Mobie… the hot chics of the class Anmol n Bhavana.. All of dem were r gr8 n wonderful…

Each day in my life for these 18 long months had been filled wid so many beautiful memories which I can never ever forget..

The journey would have been incomplete wid out all these guys..
I have learnt lot of thngs just watchng fr each n evry guy… Each one of dem was special n unique.. They were different…

As the time has arrived for me 2 depart fr these guysi wonder how I would b able 2 lead my life wid out all these guys..

Words r less 2 describe these emotions…

Each day for my rest of the life would be spent living in these beautiful memories which I carry in my heart for ever..

I wish all the very best for all my frenz, who gave me a wonderful time in OMSB, for their future endeavors…

Finally OMSB ROX..!!!

gun Show...

This is one of the most memorable weekends I ever had in Athens, Ohio. The early sun rays woke me up as early as 9..:) The previous night I, Anand and Bincy have decided that this weekend should be something different from the usual ones. We decided to have lunch at a Chinese restaurant which none of us checked it till date. From there we decided to go for a good comedy movie and come back. As I got ready the clear skies suddenly became cloudy and it started pouring. It became heavy as the day progressed. At 1.20 when 3 of us were ready to leave the apartment to our surprise the transit which was supposed to come to Courtyard at 1.35 was leaving. Even if we run as fast as P.T.Usha we decided that we will not be able to make it. A little bit disappointed about the happenings of the day we came down to see if transit is waiting for us…As if v r President of US…Anand called the Meter down on my advice….As the time ticked the transit reappeared at 1.40 in front of Courtyard.

We reached University Mall at 2.35… We entered the Buffet China and had good “oily” Chinese food. As we were talking n havng food I dropped the coke on the table…I was trying lil stylugiri n have 2 face the consequence… Once our stomachs’ are full v came out n found that v still had 35 mins before the movie starts…

There was a Gun Show going on next 2 Athena Grand.. I and Anand decided to check this out as both of us luv Guns n action… In our routine boring lives v thought dis z some gud adventure… Free entry for Children and Ladies..

Bincy wanted 2 shop.. I never understood gals… very complicated u c.:)

I and Anand entered the Mall loaded wid Double Barrels, Snipers, Laser Devices, Knives, .20 mm, Hunter Rifles, AK 47, Machine guns, various knives, Mataka and the list goes on..

The stinky sweat fr mall tickled my nose as I paid my $ and enterd the mall..Wat a welcome..:)

The machines were real.. Aaaww man.. These are things they show in action movies..

I tuk the pistol used in Cow Boy movies and twisted this way n dat way.. the guy fr other side was staring at me.. A professional handling..

He asked me if I ever used guns previously.. Smilingly I replied dat I watch lot of action movies..:)

V saw AK 47.. The machine many villains used in the movies.. From there I checked the mAtaKa… the Japanes one.. 20$.. The old man almost tempted me 2 buy one..

As v were passing the stinking mall v saw Darts.. Stallone using dem in Rambo.. u remember.. The darts were freaking pointed.. There was a student who bought the entire set… From there v went on 2 c Knuckle duster for 3$.. next 2 it was Americans Bedis..:)

FBI…J Agan 3$..

Now comes the interesting part.. I enter the laser section.. I c the Laser Binoculars (Only 4 nyte use) I c the price.. 395$.. I decided 2 buy in near future.. n the guy comes 2 me n laughs n says.. “ U guys wanna c some real stuff” I nod n he opens the suit case… All the items which probably v saw in Mission Impossible n some Bond movies.. Cameras, Binoculars, Nyte Shades..:) My heart skipped its beat when I saw the price tag… 4580$ only…

But they were real gud…Now to Sniper section.. It was whn i used to play Max Payne dat I fell in luv wid dis instrument… I was takng each sniper into my hands and checking out.. Manually adjusting some n checking the automated ones too.. Boy !! I was in seventh heaven..:) I checked the short ammos lying next 2 these machines.. The pointed pistols.. Agan back 2 snipers.. Dis time I asked Anand 2 take a snap of me wid a “real” sniper. Anand tuk my snap fr my mobile.. Then on v saw the stuff exclusively used by FBI.. The caps are being sold.. The rifles used for hunting..Air Machines.. There was rifle which Indian v c in Indian constables..:) I tuk it proudly..:)

V were 4 tables away from exit.. It was movie time.. I wanted 2 stay there for some more time actually..:) Anand tried 2 capture me wid one more pistol…

Ready, Action…Clllii

A guy comes and snatches the fone from his hands.. Both of us r like wat ?? I kept the pistol down n approached him..

Man.. I guess he didn’t take bath fr years.. Bad breath.. He smells.. Aaawww..

“Are u the guys who tuk snaps on sniper section ? I confirmed him dat it was me n anand.. The guy was so furious… He told "u guys r gone".. He walked n I can hear him breathe heavily n his face turning red.. I and Anand walkd as if nothng hapnd… very slowly..

I told him dat v were unaware of takng snaps inside the mall… Man whn the guns n snipers r being sold openly in public wid ENTRY FREE 4 children n Ladies.. Wat big deal if I take a snap wid ma fav machine.. I didn’t speak all dis wid dat Fat ass obviously..:) I was telling anand…

Finally he tuk us 2 concerned authority.. Dat fellow z lke me.. He yawned n said wat did u do ? I explained him evrythng n apologized.. I told him v were unaware abt dat.. He told datz fne.. n askd me 2 delete the snap infront of him.. I thought of orkutting… but alas ! so ladies don’t feel bad..:P

Den v came out n described the whole event 2 Bincy.. Fr there v went 2 the movie.. The movie was gud.. Stranger than Fiction..

Still it was raining and v tuk a cab dis time…

n here iam sitting on my bed lissening to Main Hoon Don fr Don…

A memorable weekend..:) Isn't it ??

diWali SpecIal...

Diwali..the Festival of lights is one of the most important festivals back in India...The festival is more so special for kids because of FIRE CRACKERS...Each and every part in India is lit up with fire works...Kids get lot of gifts from their parents and their relatives...
The festival dates back to centuries ago when Lord Rama returned from forest after killing the Demon Ravana...From then on the festival is being celebrated...On the eve of Festival every one burst crackers as a sigh of joy and happiness..Each and every street is filled with sale of fir works...As days passed by and coz of technology advancements there is huge development in the industry of Fire Crackers..:)....i remember the days when bursting a SEEMA TAPAKAI,datz how v coined it in telugu, is considered to be a big thing...

As i got up this day, i received a call from my parents conveying the festival greetings to me...My mother felt bad as her both sons are in USA on this occasion...
As "US rules" donot permit us to burst crackers i felt sad that iam not bursting the crackers...
In the evening Prof.Nanda Rangan invited us for Special Diwali Dinner...When v reached his house the first thing that caught our attraction is a 7 series BMW...Man ! a Beamer in Athens...Iam sure many of the US people must be envying Ranga's luck...The house is well decorated will lot of paintings from across the globe...The entire house was lit up diyas at entrance of evry room...

As i was thnkng abt burstng crackers back at home ,to everyone's surprise the prof and his wife asked us to burst the crackers along with his family...I was taken back...I was wondering where the hell did he get crackers from ?? though all of them are chotu crackers i felt happy in bursting dem...Somethng is better than nothng...Few rockets and few chotu bombs...
It was real delight...I used to burst shit loads of crackers...From Vanakaya Bombs to 10,000 walas...Itz been ages i bursted these chotu bombs...U c how better India is...Infact the smoke generated by these crackeres will kill mosqutioes..Unfortunately US is not developed...They donot have any of dem...:)haha..

Finally the most interesting part of the day..FOOD...South Indian Food...
V had Idly with Rasam...AAAAA...I was in 7 th Heaven...The rasam was so wonderful...I had 2 cups of rasam...I remembered my father havng rasam with curd...Pulihora,Carrot halwa,Gulad Jamun,3 types of curries....It was marvellous...After that my frenz played Atankshari in prof drawing room...

By the time v returned back to University Courtyard it was 11...The city is becomng so damn cold...But v did enjoy the day...It was wonderful...

n the match started after 20 mins wid WMU takng the ball...the match didn' draw much enthusiasm as it progressed..it became one sided...Bobcats stealng the show...i was remembering the movie Any Given Sunday, starring AlPacino and Jamie Fox...it was whn v wantd some real kick-ass show WMU,a.k.a BRONKOS started performin well n started gathering some points...the match suddenly became excited...the crowd z back on their foot...thy r sitting on the edge of the seats...the band was playng some real gud numbers..n cheer gals were performing some gud feats on air...it became interesting...1.30 mins left for the game whn Bobcats stealed another 7...the crowd was back...if it was inDia..the slogans like JEETAGA BHAI JEETAGA...IndIA Jeetaga...Askalakadi KalaKala..HOOHA HOOHA would have filled the air of the field...when v thought dat the game z over Bronkos(WMU) pulled another 6 pointer...it was 27-20...@ 3 the refrees cald the match wid BobCats winning...

Gone Days -2 ...

Gone are the days!!! My Friend...
When school reopened in June,
And we settled in our new desks and benches!
When we queued up in the book depot,
And got our new books and notes!
When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays and yet
Managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.
We learnt writing with slates and pencils, and
Progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips!
When we began drawing with crayons and evolved to
Color pencils and finally sketch pens!
When we started calculating,
First with tables and then withClarke's tables
And advanced to Calculators and computers!
When we chased one another in the corridors in Intervals,
And returned to the classrooms Drenched in sweat!
When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors,
Playgrounds, under the trees and even in cycle sheds!
When all the colors in the world,
Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays!
When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table,
Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons!
When cricket was played with writing pads as bats,
And Neckties and socks rolled into balls!
When few played "kabadi" and "Kho-Kho" in scorching sun,
While others simply played "book cricket" in the Confines of classroom!
Of fights but no conspiracies,
Of Competitions but seldom jealousy!
When we used to watch Live Cricket telecast,
In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks!
When few rushed at 3:45 to
"Conquer" window seats in our School bus!
While few others had "Big Fun", "peppermint",
"kulfi", " milk ice !" and "sharbat !" at 4o Clock!
Gone are the days
Of Sports Day, and the annual School Day , orchestra
And the one-month long preparations for them.
Gone are the days
Of the stressful Quarterly,
Half Yearly and Annual Exams, And the most
Enjoyed holidays after them!
Gone are the days
Of tenth and twelfth standards, when
We Spent almost the whole year writing revision tests!
We learnt,
We enjoyed,
We played,
We won,
We lost,

We laughed,
We cried,
We fought,
We thought.

With so much fun in them, so many friends,
So much experience, all this and more!
Gone are the days
When we used to talk for hours with our friends!
Gone are the days
When we played games on the road!
Gone are the days
When we saw stars shining at Night!
Gone are the days
When we sat to chat with Friends on grounds!
Gone are the days
Where we studied just to pass!
Gone are the days
Where we had no money in our pockets and yet the world
And our hearts were full of happiness.
Gone are the days
Where we shouted on the road!
Now we don't shout even at home
Gone are the days
Where we got lectures from all!
Gone are the days
But not the memories, which will Linger in our hearts
For ever and ever and
Ever and ever and ever .....


Donot want to spoil the readers mind by writing anythng...

Cheli fever...

Maddy, MAddy...OO..HO...Maddy...
As i sit in @ ma desk in Alden n i browse thru Desivideos.net i c dis amazng movie..RHTDM...Rehna Hain Terre Dil Mein...A remake of Tamil Super Hit MINNALE...it introduced a new music director, Harris Jayraj, previously assisting Rahman...
well in ma previous post i mentioned abt the significance of Holi back in ma SriChaitanya days...well this would be the 2nd part of it...
i normally prefer watchng an action or a comedy...romantic movies are far from ma reach...but for movies like Maine Pyar Kiya n DDLJ...i grew algeric to dem watchng Karan Johar's direction...
comng back...i was actually very anxious 2 watch dis movie as v heard the songs, say like, 10 times in a day...during study hours in the corridors of Sri Chaitanya hostel...v heard during lunch break...v also heard just before v slept 2 get some sweet dreams...;) i,praneeth n kiran danced during farewell for 1 of the numbers fr dis movie...
the movie z all abt a HINDU BRAHMIN,palyed by Madhavan,a.k.a Maddy, fallng in love wid a Christian gal, played by Reema Sen..Reema z a typical South Indian gal..She z shy, she z beautiful,she z independent...Reema's parents want her 2 get married 2 Sam,played by Abbas...Abbas n Maddy r rivals durng colj days...u shouldn't miss the begng..i always thought dat the director should have increased the time slot 4 these colj fights...Maddy enters into the life of Reema as Sam...he wins her heart in a week...Just after dat Abbas returns fr USA n movie z all abt how these 2 finally get together..
the most amazng part of the movie z first half...whr Maddy wins heart of Reema..With Harris melodious music behnd n wid Maddy's actng the movie defintely inspired many a youth like me to do cranky stuff...hahaaa...the scene whr Maddy taks Reema out 4 a date thkning dat 2 b her b'day z mindblowing...the entire set up...Reema n Maddy havng food @ Dosa point wid back grnd..NANNU EDO CHESASINDANTA..LOVELY BANAM GUCHESINDANTA...oooohh...it was mindblowing....the entire movie was directed very well...
the main asset of dis movie z Harris Jayraj...he produced some awesome numbers like MANOHARA, VENNELA SONA, KANNULU NIVE...the movie was sensational hit in Tamil, the original version..it was big flop in Hindi n was average in Telugu...but i seriously didn't understand y it didn't run in Telugu...it was much better than it was in Hindi...but the numbers fr dat movie r even 2 dis day r heard by many...esp the song DILKO TUMSE PYAAR HUA..
it z a must watch movie..preferably in original version or in Telugu....

it was on ofe those sunny, bright afternoons i took lakefront bus fr Oasis, Athens to reach CMH airport in Columbus..it was jus 1 day after i landed in States...by the tme i reached CMH it was @ 3 in the aftrenoon...n my flight was scheduled @ 4.30 in the eve...i was movng fr East 2 Central...i reached ma terminal well in advance..an hour before after i went thru all the security...unfortunately ma flight 2 Houston was delayed by another 30 mins...i just sat down in one of those empty chairs...i left ma carry on n went 2 pee...on the way back i thought of buyng some junk food n i was lookng at all eatries 2 buy some thng...but unfortunately i didn't get anythng gud 2 eat but some popcorn..i grabbed it n was reachng ma terminal, thr comes dis ung beautiful lady wid all make up n her aroma, of her perfume, stretching a mile...hehe...she comes up to me n conversation goes on...
"Does the Red Baggage out there belong to you... Yes Ofcourse...Well..the co-passengers are a little apprehensive about the fact that you left your baggage without a notice...well, actually i went out to pee...wat ever Mr...we advise you to take your baggage whereever you go..Don't leave your baggage unattended...there might be some security concerns...iam sorry about it.."
for the next 1.30 mins i constantly here to the announcements made by the airlines authorities..."Attention every one...Please donot leave your baggage unattended.."
i was wondering how easily people get paranoid in this country...though the country is well developed the people out here are very paranoid...they are very worried about teh security...more so after 9-11 attacks...i immediately compared US with India...and how easy gong ppl r...v do leave our baggae n go out 2 buy magazines...sometmes if luck z bad our baggage will b found missin..datz different...but v r more secure...
i sit @ Alden Library writing dis whn i am left wid a week 2 go 2 Florida...n i need 2 go CMH agan...wondering wat would happn dis tme..!!!

at dat moment all i cared z to njoy the beauty...rather than getng wirried abt the MIS case whch is due for the day n the Business plan submission to Luce,Thom...i just wanted the sieze the moment..
Today was definitely one of the most beautiful friday's....

I,Me and Maself...

This being my first bolg lemme give a small intro abt maself..Iam Sivankar.M.S...born in Andhra Pradesh,India, in one of the most loving and caring families i have ever encountered. I have an elder brother who is as loving and caring as ma parents.

I did ma schooling n many places as ma father was posted to different places across the State.

Because of this i made lot of frenz..(Ppl can check on ma frenz list in orkut.com..)

I landed up in Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Prashanthi Nilayam, the abode of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. This was THE BEGINNING of ma new life. I learnt variuos aspects from being patient to being humble. Lot of internal changes has taken place. Under some inevitable conditions i had to leave the instituion after ma Under Grad. After a gap of an year i landed in OMSB for ma MBA in Bangalore. OMSB is Ohio-Manipal School of Business. At that particular point i never understood rather reaized why i was joining this particualr college. Down the lane i realized that there is an opportunity to leave to USA without taking an exam but paying a lil extr money. As every one i was also really really excited to go to USA, the land of Opportunities, and make ma living.

And here iam sitting in Alden Library at nyte 9.21 writing this blog..
