Prabha..my dearest


jus about 45min ago train no:2225 left kanpur station to Delhi. a mob of iitians were on the platform and only one lean person with a hair style of a rock star entered the train and the train went on its unending journey making way for a new turn in that person's life. No one in the train knew that this person's journey is not to Delhi but to Technical University of Munich, Germany. no one knew that this person is goin places in his career.
almost 13months ago i entered room no: C-211 of Hall4. in the first week of my stay i didnt met any one from the IME dept. then an andhra fren of mine showed a person leaner than me with spectacles in eyes named "prabhakar". this is the same person left iit a couple of hours ago.
first thing i recognised about him is his telugu accent which is very strange to me. and his feelings are also same regd my telugu. as we ppl hail from two extreme corners of AP we never came across one others' language. though he is a domicile of AP he was born and brought up in CG so he is a typical north indian. very soon this lean person has become my close pal in the dept and as well as in iit. we worked together in many activities ranging from academic projects to chitchatting in Ashok's canteen. we shared many funny and lovely experiences with each other. one fantastic feature of Prabha is his helping nature. in the month end of April when we are working of Ravi's Question paper he is the one who collected the Fluids text from another of his aquaintance. he even helps the worst person of our class whom all the others hate to meet.
most memorable incident with prabha is regd mittal sir. As prabha is the topper of his subject(of course he topped many) he remembered the name but thought that i was prabhakar!!!! the awkward part of this episode is that i'm one of the C grade students of that subject. we laughed a lot after he met mittal sir personally for his reco. now if i see mittal sir i'll jus run away from there.
now that prabha has left IIT and by the time he sees this blog he 'll be in TUM. that thought delights me a lot. i couldnt go to send off ravi to US but atleast i did it in prabha's case.
praying for my buddy's glory

Before going into the details, let me publish a mail which my friend had sent me few days ago: From: rajkumar Date: 2011/12/31 Subject: 2011 Target To: karthik indrakanti , jeevani anantapur , @@@@@@ , మంచుపల్లకీ, @@@@@@, banthi పోయిన ఏడాది కాత్రీకు ఈ విష్యాలతో మైల్ పంపాడు. ఎవరు ఎంతవరకూ రీచయ్యారో చూద్దాం అని చెక్ చేశా... ఈ కాత్రీక్ మామూలోడు కాదని తెలిసింది. ఈ మైల్ గుర్తుకు రావటం అన్నీ వెరిఫై చేసుకోటం చాలా హ్యాపీగా అనిపించింది నాకు. థాంకుల్ కార్తీకూ.. కార్తీక్ః 1. పెళ్ళి చేసుకోవాలి---> కున్నాడు 2. అపార్ట్మెంట్ బుక్ చెయ్యాలి. -- > చేసేశేడు 3. చిత్రమాలిక లో ప్రతీ వార కనీసం 5 వ్యాసాలు ఉండేటట్టు చూడాలి -> నేను లెక్కపెట్ట లేదు గానీ... బతిమాలో, బుజ్జగించో, తిట్టో, కొట్టో  చాలామంది చేత రాయించేశాడు.  4. నాన్ వెజిటేరియనిజం కు వ్యతిరేకంగా ఒక కార్యక్రమం చెయ్యాలి -> ఈ ఉద్యమం ఎంత వరకూ వచ్చిందో తెలీదు (మంచు గారు వద్దని సలహా ఇచ్చేరు) గానీ... పోస్ట్ వేసి నాన్ వెజ్జీలని బజ్జీలు వేసినట్టొ వేయించేశాడూ 5. ఒక జర్నల్ పేపర్ పుబ్లిష్ చెయ్యాలి.. --> నాకు...

(My) Story of Bindi!!

Disclaimer: The content of this post is purely one of the several biases that I carry. I neither lament about them nor try to become unbiased. Because THIS IS THE WAY I AM. It means no reference to anyone dead or alive ;-) In India bindi is a predominant custom among woman of all religions. Apart from Hindus, many sects of Christianity and few sects of Islam practice this tradition. Keeping bindi is also treated as a symbol that the woman is not a widow. How did the tradition of bindi started?? As per the Ancient Indian philosophy every part of the body is recognized as a place for someone.. For e.g. heart is the place for loved ones. Similarly the place between the eye brows is the position of the Teachers, so as a token of respect to the Guru/teaching community the idea of bindi was introduced. Also, people in the olden days used to keep sindhur along with kumkum and both of them were cosmetics.. We Indians are always fond of looking good ;-)  Regarding me,  ...

God sees truth but waits...

This is a story which i read as part of my english syllabus. Today i found it as i was searching for some other thing. the Russian original was written by Leo Tolstoy. I found it at this link. After the story i remember my teacher telling us "its not human's job to punish others"... how true!!! In the town of Vladimir lived a young merchant named Ivan Dmitrich Aksionov. He had two shops and a house of his own. Aksionov was a handsome, fair-haired, curly-headed fellow, full of fun, and very fond of singing. When quite a young man he had been given to drink, and was riotous when he had had too much; but after he married he gave up drinking, except now and then. One summer Aksionov was going to the Nizhny Fair, and as he bade good-bye to his family, his wife said to him, "Ivan Dmitrich, do not start to-day; I have had a bad dream about you." Aksionov laughed, and said, "You are afraid that when I get to the fair I shall go on a spree." His wife re...
