Cycle

Every year what happens with you is mostly like a cycle, like a series of events which happen sequentially spread over a time of a year and that cycle changes from when you are kid to a teenager to a man who has responsibilities until you finally die. At least this is what I think. Over the years, the cycle has taken different shapes for me and many who are reading this.
I used to hate holidays when I was a kid and was very eager to see the school start so that we can have one more year of competitive knowledge thirst quenching. That cycle was interesting for me. The part of the cycle which is called holidays was the one that I did not hate though but did not enjoy very much. Then it was when I was college during my under graduation when we had 4 months of holidays per year which was some amount of time. But then the 4 years of college did not seem much of a time to pass by as events like ragging in the first year, getting adjusted to a new class and classmates in the second year, tours and event management in the third year, placements and parties in the fourth year took place. Time passed by, I did not even realize that I had to spend the rest of my life either by taking responsibilities or more responsibilities. This cycle was the best of all and never did I hate any part of the 4 years much.
But when you get an opportunity to study more, you would die to do that, for reasons which more or less obvious. Firstly you are doing that to earn more. And again you meet more people, you have 2 more years of fun and 2 more years where you do not have to earn money and spend, rather you have papa’ s money to spend :). So, I have been trying to do this from the past three years. But somehow the odds do not favor you and suddenly you are stuck in another cycle, another year of confused, complex living where you just go where the fate takes you. God, I hate this cycle. Having said this, aren’t many of you going through one or the other cycle, which has complications either less, equal or more than what I have? Sadly, you can’t escape it, neither can I. So, just relax, take a deep breath and keep cycling :).

Tour Diaries-1

Antara gange.... hmmm..let's see... the idea to go here all started an hour before we actually started... which might seem stupid... but actually was worth more than what we really expected...

the idea of going somewhere started a week back with the most of the discussions driven crazily by muddu. At first, we were all game to go to Skandagiri, which is a damn good hill trek and a nice spot to catch the glimpse of the early sunrise... two of our team(rampi and rp...for convinience .. i named the people in the photo) were already there and thus thought it would be a redundant effort for all of us to go there..( though i am bit sad that we did not make it to skandagiri.. i am glad that we made it to antara gange...)



we started on a saturday night... in fact to say..it was the early hours of sunday ... at around 12... i took uma's bike... (my room mate... and no uma is not a girl...it's uma shankar)... fuelled it at the nearest spot and we 8 ( me, muddu; rampi,rp; kasyap,jp; macha, murali) hit the roads... at around 12:30 in the morning... the ride to antara gange.. was scary.. as the roads to that place were all under construction and with the heavy truck vehicle traffic .. it was hard to drive at more than 50... (for me)... we stopped at a near by dhabha to fuel our stomachs... i as usual had a cup of tea... ok..two.. to get going....

funny things happened enroute...macha... forgot to actually turn on the lights of his bike.. and all the way was complaining of bad light... and murali was scared...because macha has some history with his bike...rampi and rp encountered with a local police who reprimanded them for the very idea of going on a night trek to that place...

at last we reached the place at 3:15 and the we were looking for the way to start our trek.. we dint have a clue where to start it from.. neither did we find a potential start point in that night... all we had was 4 torches and 8 of us... then we saw ... two ghostly figures walking towards us... actually they really looked like ghosts from a distance... and when asked if we could go ahead and start the trek... one of them was really serious and asked us not to start that... in arundhati movie style... which mr murali.. by the way... has copied very well...



but then ... this another guy turned up and he encouraged us to start our trek.. and with the torches we begin our trek up hill. it was a good trek...with the torches.. and we reached up hill by an hour.. then at around 4:30... then we did try to explore some places over there .. as the uphill part was like a small village... but we were dead scared.. as a herd of dogs almost chased us.... from no where... and some how were out of that hitch.



next thing we did was to find... a nice to place on a hill top to watch the sun come out and dazzle us.. which it did..eventually...

overall the tour was damn good... and a night trek worth remembering...


and in the end... pradeep and bhanu... dont tell mom that i went there on bike... she will kill me...

sweet syllables....

Nothing great from side... just wanted to post lyrics of one of my favorite songs


O cheliya naa priya sakhiya ....
Movie: Premikudu


o cheliya na priya sakhiya chey jarenu na manase
e chota adi jarinado aa jaade marichitine
nee andelalo chikkookoondani nee padamoola cheritine
premante enni agachatlo mana kalayika telipinade
na goondelalo prema paravasamai iru kannulu solenule

o cheliya na priya sakhiya chey jarenu na manase
e chota adi jarinado aa jaade marichitine

eepoota cheli na mata ika karuvaipoyenule
adharamu udharamu nadumoona edo alajadi regenoole
veekshanalo nireekshanalo ara kshanamoka yoogamele
choopulanni ventadinattu madi kalavaramayenoole
idi swargama narakama emito teliyadoole
ee jeeviki jeevana maranamu nee chetilo unnadile

o cheliya na priya sakhiya chey jarenu na manase
e chota adi jarinado aa jaade marichitine

kokilamma nuvvu sai ante ne padenu sarigamale
gopurama ninu cherukoni savarinchenoo nee kooroole
vennelamma neeku jola padi kali metikelu virichene
veecheti chali gaalulaku terachapai nilichene
na asala oosule chevilona chebutane
nee adugula cheragani guruthule prema charitalu antane

o cheliya na priya sakhiya chey jarenu na manase
e chota adi jarinado aa jaade marichitine
nee andelalo chikkookoondani nee padamoola cheritine
premante enni agachatlo mana kalayika telipinade
na goondelalo prema paravasamai iru kannulu solenule

o cheliya na priya sakhiya chey jarenu na manase
e chota adi jarinado aa jaade marichitine


ain't they beautiful lyrics....??
