YaarOn...

No more late night chatting...No more second show movies...
No more get togethers...No more sleeping at last bench..
No more late night studies..No more last moment preparation..
No more copying...No more bunking classes...

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…

The crazy ARP days whn I, ramesh n pratik used 2 travel fr Yelhanka to Majestic and from Majestic to Bannergatta Road n back 2 yelhanka… The beautiful evenings v spent playn cric.. the days v cursed Girish… The midnyte tea sessions.. Late nyte studies @ Cafeteria wid Nikil Pappu..

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..

Ravi Bhatt n Shamir.. Am sure no one in OMSB misses these 2 guys.. A digital room..
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 ??
